After a lot of other stuff I’m back at it. TIL that php ENUMS are kind of hard to do assertions on in PHPUnit. assertSame and assertEquals both don’t work.

What I can do though is this:

$this->assertSame(SyncStatus::Pending->value, $syncStatusAfter->value);

#buildinpublic #mbsync

After many hours of familystuff, I’m back trying to see why one of the tests is still failing, now that my sidequest about the seeder is complete. #buildinpublic #mbsync

[Just noticed I never sent this…]

#buildinpublic #mbsync

Alright, so the seeder works and I can skip registering all the time when resetting the db. 😅

Instead I only need to run:

artisan migrate:fresh

and then:

artisan db:seed

And I’m good to go!

The code needed some trial and error to get right, but looks basically like this:

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use App\Models\Blog;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

class AddAdminUserSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run(): void
    {
        $user = User::create([
		//...
        ]);
        $user->save();
        $blogs = [
		//...
        ];
        $user->blogs()->saveMany($blogs);
        $user->selected_blog_id = $blogs[0]->id;
        $user->save();
    }
}

It’s just really cool to me how powerful laravel’s db abstractions are. I may not know yet how to express my needs and then try to do it old-school directly in sql at first, but that it’s possible to express my needs and I can otherwise just focus on the code is so cool. #buildinpublic #mbsync

I’m working on a little side quest atm. I’m creating a database seeder that automatically adds a user to the db so that I can reset the db quicker. It’s pretty easy with laravel and I love the distinction between migrations (schema changes) and seeders (data additions) #buildinpublic #mbsync

At the moment I’m working on implementing the minimalistic sync engine - even calling it that gives it too much credit. One test is failing, it seems that the sync status is not marked as pending when we mark a post for sync. #buildinpublic #mbsync

I’ll continue my work on mb-sync. It’s always a little hard to know how much time I have - so I might need to do something else soon, but I’ll at least start. #buildinpublic #mbsync

The metrics that people in charge at my work care about the most seem(!; to me) to be not reached. It’s true, I can be kind of slow but what I do is mostly thought through. It just takes time. Sometimes too much, I guess.

Amazing, how quickly confidence wanes under pressure. Tomorrow’s another day.

Wanting to do a good job and wanting to do a quality job aren’t always congruent.

Okay fixed the theme next/previous links: {{ $cleanContentNext := .NextPage.Content | plainify }} {{ if gt (len $cleanContentNext) 20 }} {{ printf "%.20s" $cleanContentNext }} {{ else }} {{ $cleanContentNext }} {{ end }} {{ end }} And the other problem seems to have been a category filter not having run through. There is no pagination, it just shows all the posts on one page. Which is fine for now.

My theme switch has lead to a couple of problems that I have to solve it seems in time I don’t have. 1. posts without a title lead to links without one in the single post view 2. for some reason the categories view is not paged and you can’t view posts in a category past the 11th post. Why? Great. Great stuff.

#buildinpublic #zknstuff The library is closing soon and I’m spent mentally for the moment. Time to take the rest of the Sunday off!

#buildinpublic #zknstuff I did it. Around 200 notes have been reviewed, filed away, linked to and from, some of them tagged, renamed, deleted (very few). Most of them were how-to notes, some were ideas, some were project journals, some just held some information like an address, a measurement, etc.

#buildinpublic #zknstuff Still 66 files to go. An observation: I need to do focussed reviews, that is, reviews that only tackle part of the system, more often. That I can review files in this way is actually very helpful to make those notes I took time to write more useful and discoverable.
