@sevan@noc.social isn’t it lovely? (But the failed discussion on that LinkedIn thread helped me write the FAQ.)

“Running the same tests on the same code a second time offers no marginal benefit, costs twice as much, interrupts flow, discourages frequent small well-tested commits, and engenders learned helplessness.”

Not doing retrospectives? Sure, you’re missing opportunities for improvement. But mainly you’re practicing

- Not noticing things
- Not talking about what matters most
- Not deepening human relationships

Teams are always improving incrementally at something. Choose wisely.

@AstridSawatzky workflow makes a lot of sense, and helps me think about which conditions must hold for WATWG to do any good. Also thanks for reminding me about Infinitest. Noted it on my list of Neighboring ideas (https://github.com/schmonz/junit-whenalltestsweregreen/wiki/Neighboring-ideas) and will add more compare/contrast later.

@Trevoke just to make sure I’m not missing something, could you say a bit more about what’s theoretically worrisome?

---

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/110204568868297954

@AstridSawatzky I’ve used that one lightly and liked the idea. Do you rely on it in place of a pre-commit full test run? If so, has it ever let you down?

@dressupgeekout a lovely question. For me, at least these:

1. If I’d been lucky enough to have any of those musical ideas, I’d have felt the need to do whatever it took to carry them out (as the composer did)

2. In retrospect, the beginning contained everything the music needed to go where it went

3. Changing any single note seems like it would destroy the music’s integrity

Probably not. But I am, and this little wrapper script lets me type cvs diff and get git-style output and paging. Name it cvs and put it in front of your PATH. https://github.com/schmonz/package-rebuild/blob/main/bin/pkgsrc-cvs-wrapper

As a someday-composer, I hope to write music that’s parsimonious, organic, and seemingly inevitable. Medtner and Mompou offer my favorite (very distinct) worked solutions to these self-imposed constraints. Medtner is my piercing north star, but Mompou is diffuse guiding light.

@nat Got frustrated trying to puzzle out what I needed from IntelliJ, went for JUnit, and got something working! Still rough around the edges, but: https://github.com/schmonz/junit-whenalltestsweregreen

@nat at a glance, JUnit has a Listener that seems like it’d suffice.

@nat hard same, my first solution to any problem is usually Unixy (and after that I rarely want a second). If this works it’ll be my first IDE plugin 🙂

---

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/110046566689201055

@nat would that be a plugin for the test framework itself? Hadn’t considered that, but it sounds smart. I’m making an IntelliJ plugin that updates a timestamp when the tests that ran are all green. If I can figure out how to determine whether the tests that ran are all the tests, I’ll ship it.

---

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/110044861691611655

@FalkAppel@digitalcourage.social I got this far:

$ xq '.project.component[] | select(.["@name"] == "TestHistory") | .["history-entry"][]["@file"]'

But it doesn’t update anywhere near real time. Also I couldn’t see how to deduce green or not from the results.

Might just have to write my first IntelliJ plugin.

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/110034770507644180

I have: a pre-commit hook that always runs the tests.

I want: a pre-commit hook that runs the tests if and only if they haven’t been run greenly in IntelliJ within the last minute.

I need: how to interrogate IntelliJ for this information.

Ideas? Anyone already done this?

2. If it’s time and it’s not ready, learn another Mordasov miniature on the spot

I found Medtner at 21, giddy but also afraid I’d live out the rest of my days never making any greater discovery. What other music could I ever love this much?

As compensation, I’ve had my entire adult life to appreciate music that was designed to be appreciated for a lifetime.
