Lab 8

This weeks goal was to test our code that was written. 

To begin I had my usual issue with git rebase... Lines of code that I thought shouldn't appear was appearing. From the very start of this lab I took the liberty of removing duplicate code and commiting to my master in hopes that it doesn't appear anymore for future labs. Once my code was clean and up to date, I began to create test cases using jUnit. Due to not having tested in JUnit in a very long time I had to refresh get some refreshers. JUnit testing made me realize that maybe there was more functions that I could've refactored as I only had 2 functions not including my main to test. 

In regards to adding a coverage tool, luckily I didn't have to use any external tool. Intellij has a built in coverage tool that is able to generate its own coverage report. To run it one must simply run the code with coverage. 


In regards to my Continuous Integration, I decided to go with maven. This was my first time using any sort of automation tool. I chose maven as after doing a little bit of research, Maven seemed to be the best beginner tool for someone who's never used such tools. Github templates really helped with the integration of maven, the only issue that I had was that my actual project was missing a critical component for the CI to run properly. I was missing the "Pom.xml" file which luckily was also easy to add after the fact using intellij. 


This blog will be updated as I create test cases for a partner.

Improving Others Code !

For this blog I was tasked to find a partner and improve some of their code. I decided to stick to Nathan's code as he used python to create his " PYLinkChecker ". The reasoning behind me as to why I choose his project is simply because as mentionned before I have never worked with python. This was an opportunity for me to learn a bit more about python and get out of my  coding comfort zone.  As I wasn't too familiar with python I also didn't want to overwhelm myself with adding some complicated feature. I previously noticed that his app was missing a bit of color so I took the liberty to make his program slightly more pleasing to the eyes.  As I wasn't working directly from the cmd line, I used GIT desktop to clone and pull his project.  As my changes were somewhat minor and didn't have much of an impact Nathan didn't give too many comments in regards to the changes, he was simply happy that I didn't forget to update his README file as my changes

Intro Blog

-            Why are you taking this course? I'm taking this course as I want to have some experience working with people that I don't know. With COVID-19 I know that working with people that you've never seen face to face is becoming more and more of a reality. I'm hoping that this course teaches me skills that I can later translate in my career. -             What is it about Open Source that attracted you? The ability to openly work on projects and know that it is a whole community of people that just want to improve things make Open Source interesting.  -             Where are you?  I was born in montreal and have a french background but live in Milton, Ontario ( Halton Region ). I moved closer to school when the campus transferred to Newnham but luckily moved back home right before COVID started.     -           What are you hoping to accomplish this term?  I'm looking to challenge myself & use this course to refresh myself with languages

Release 2.3

For this weeks pull request I decided to create my own issue in a project.  I found a data structure & algorithm repo that I could give some input into and also move away from html/javascript forms of coding. I chose this repo because data structures are very important to know as a programmer and some of the examples found in this repo could potentially be interview questions. I had created 2 issues for this repo, I wanted to add code so that one could see how to create a power function and a factorial function. The only difference was that I wanted to show both iteratively and recursively how to code those questions. Initially I had requested that both issues would be assigned to me (which was not an issue to me) but hours later after creating my issues I had some interest from other coders who wanted to add some of their code. Being in the spirit of hackoberfest I let one of the issues go and resolved 1 of the issues. This was interesting to me as I was not expecting for others t
