Release 0.3 Internal Project blog

For my internal project, I worked in the open source vscode-seneca-college project.

I found that README.md file was not descriptive enough. There was also no CONTRIBUTING.md file. This would be a problem for new contributers. There is nothing to tell them how to contribute to the project and how to install the required dependancies and how to test the project to see how it is working. Issue 8

I created my own fork. Then I cloned from my fork. I created a new branch using the command 

git checkout -b issue-8

Then I ran the command 

npm i

to install the required dependancies into my project repo. Then I typed F5to test the project. I tested to make sure I was getting the hello message as a prompt in a new vs-code window.

A new window will pop up with a hello message. I am now in debugging mode.

I can debug the code to find out what it is doing with the step forward step inward step out of buttons.

Or I can press the red square to exit debugging mode.Then I added instructions in the README.md file to install dependancies and run the project.

Then I added instructions how to contribute to this project in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Then I added the changes in git. Then commited the changes on git.

Then I pushed the changes. I created a new PR. 


I learned how to run a vs-code project in a new vs-code window displaying a hello message as a prompt.

In this project, I used jest as a unit testing framework, which Facebook created. It makes it easier to test UIs and javascript functions. It has features like a built-in assertion library, code coverage, and mocking. It is now a full set of tools that can be used for my JavaScript project. By running multiple test suites at the same time, Jest can speed up the testing process as a whole. I choose Jest as my testing framework because using mocking in test cases was important to me when testing functions, as it helped me to test values that are not real. To set up my project. First I ran the command  npm install to install all module dependancies.  Then I ran the command  npm install --save-dev jest to install the jest module as dev dependancies. Then I added the script "scripts": {  "test": "jest"  } I learned while writing my test cases that making test cases for each function was unnecessary. Some of my functions were calling other functions. Also, I rea

For this week, I worked in the open source md-page  project.  I fixed a bug where npm run test fails: 18 snapshots failed.  issue 60 I open a new issue npm run test fails: 18 snapshots failed. I had to first fork the project. I cloned the fork. I created a new branch using the command  git checkout -b issue-60   Then I ran the command   npm i to install the required dependancies into my project repo. Then  I ran  npm run test to test the project. I found that the command was giving me errors because test snapshots were not updated. I then ran the command  npm run test -- -u to update the test snapshots. Then I ran npm run test to test the project.   Then I added the changes in git. Then commited the changes on git. Then I pushed the changes. I created a new PR.  issue:  https://github.com/oscarmorrison/md-page/issues/60 PR:  https://github.com/oscarmorrison/md-page/pull/61

In this project, I created my GitHub Actions Workflow by going under the actions tab and selecting Webpack for my workflow. Then I committed the webpack.yml file with the default value without changing anything. Then my workflow got executed, and everything was successful. I got the green checkmark for all builds. Then I created a bug. Then I added the changes in git. Then commit the changes on git. Then I pushed the changes. Then my workflow got executed, and the workflow failed on the build. Then I fixed the bug. Then I added the changes in git. Then commit the changes on git. Then I pushed the changes. Then my workflow got executed, and everything was successful.  My partner's testing setup had lint running right after any commit. Writing test cases for a project I did not create required time to understand how the code was working and why my test case was failing before making the modifications in the code to have the test case I created to be successful.
