Rubymine

I get my system test working at the start of video but the problem is it works so well that it still passes even after I re-introduce the bug when it should have failed. Crap! That means my test is not working correctly.

I spend the rest of the video trying to figure out why the test is not failing when it should and get very frustrated. So frustrated this became my longest video yet at over two hours! End up digging into the RuboCop code to try and figure out what is going on. I do figure out the problem at the end of the video in a ah-ha moment. Spoiler: the problem was I didn’t link to the Standard config file correctly.

I get one system test working for generating the todo file and almost get the second test working. The second test that actually tests the bug we fixed. Went down a bit of rabbit hole trying to get the optimal Ruby file/directory manipulation code.

I also spent some time trying out JetBrains new coding AI. It has some issues but also lots of promise.

Similar to the previous episode I fail at adding a system test. Should I be live coding all these failures? I think so. Maybe? Do they make boring videos? Probably. Should I say “ummm” less? Most definitely.

I think there are enough highly edited videos of success already it’s good to see some failures. To remind everyone that success takes work and often wrong paths. At least that sounds better then I don’t enjoy video editing so I just post what I record with minimal changes/edits.

I add a unit test for the Standard Ruby linter bug fix done in the last episode. When adding the unit test I find out someone has improved the todo generation logic. Thank you. I also find a remove a redundant test.

Read about the bug being fixed here.

Chris fights to get the debugger working in RubyMine and does not make any progress on Standard. It was frustrating but overall Chris enjoys working with RubyMine so thank you JetBrains for creating it.
