@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.

@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.

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?

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.

    More about (2):

    mob.sh handles a temporary branch in a particular repo. That suffices when all the code being worked on is in that repo. What about when it’s not? Say, for a simple case, when we’re making changes to a REST endpoint and a consumer of it. How do?

    For everyone to pass around every potentially involved repo on every handoff without effort, my best idea so far is to use myrepos with this .mrconfig:

    [DEFAULT]
    git_mob1 = echo MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER="mob1" "$@"
    git_mob2 = echo MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER="mob2" "$@"

    Then you can say mr mob1 start 25 or mr mob1 next and it'll run on all repos in rapid succession. All done? mr mob1 done followed by mr status to see which repos actually need us to compose a commit message.

    So those are my best ideas so far to adapt http://mob.sh to this situation. What else could we try?

    More about (1):

    When two ensembles are using mob.sh on the same repo, they’ll trample on each other’s work without meaning to. MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER looks like (if everyone sets it correctly) the two sessions will each have a distinct working branch.

    For everyone to set it correctly every time, my best idea so far is for everyone’s .profile:

    MOB_PROG=$(command -v mob)

    mob() {
    echo >&2 "nope, run mob1 or mob2"
    }

    mob1() {
    MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER="mob1" ${MOB_PROG}
    }

    mob2() {
    MOB_WIP_BRANCH_QUALIFIER="mob2" ${MOB_PROG}
    }

    Then nobody can run mob, they have to run the one for the session they’re in (and we always know this). And nobody has to remember anything else.
