Noise from the Basement

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’m happy to announce that XPlugins.iOS.BEMCheckBox v2.0.0 has been released! This a wrapper for the BEMCheckBox which lets you create highly customizable, animated checkboxes for iOS. You can find the v2.0.0 NuGet package here.

This release includes all the fixes to the underlying BEMCheckBox from v1.4.1 to v2.0.0. This includes the following breaking changes:

• Minimum iOS version was increased from 8.4 to 12.

• Events renamed:

  • DidTapCheckBox renamed to DidTap

  • AnimationDidStopForCheckBox to AnimationDidStopFor

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.

I’m happy to announce that BEMCheckBox v2.0.0 has been released! It is a open source library making it easy to create beautiful, highly customizable, animated checkboxes for iOS. You can find the install instructions here.

This a forked release as it does not appear the original project by Boris-EM is supported. If Boris-EM, or anyone else with access to original repo, is reading this I’m happy to merge my changes back. It should be noted that don’t have great track record of supporting my open source projects but I’m hoping to improve my stats.

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.
