Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
A pull request I made to an actual open source project got merged. I might actually be a real dev now!
(It was just to remove a snippet config, but still!)7 -
2 weeks+ ago I made a PR into our codebase containing sample refactor that streamlined a significant portion of code. Also, I did refactor only on two handler packages (for MVC folks, that's Controller) as proof of concept, to figure out how convinient / logical the part would be for everyone.
We have rule of 2 approvals for merge (for 5 team members)
While writing refactor, it obviously blown up a lot of unit tests, but still coverage was fairly poor (that stuff was rushed, there was back than no time for unit tests). After my refactor I spent couple of days writing tests that hit fairly sweet (comparatively) coverage. (I managed to bump coverage from low 20s to high 80s, and have less code for tests)
I got first approve pretty much immidietely, other team member was on vacations, and 2 of them forgot.
We generally try to close PRs fairly quickly (usually same day kind of deal), but that one was just.. hanging in there. So I pinged everyone to re-check it to greenlight it but of course, loo and behold, merge conflicts arised. I ended up fixing actual logic (just some method signatures changed, not a big deal) and ran the units.
So, one of that handlers got quite a few of edits, and guess who is pretty much rewriting unit tests for second time now...
Dude, sometimes I question why tf I even bother with these tests... Feels like sabotaging my productivity, especially with bullshit like that3
