  • First time using Conan to release software
    4 projects | dev.to | 25 Nov 2021
    This week, I worked on my Static-Site Generator - Potato Generator to add package registry. My SSG is in C++ language. I chose Conan, GitLab, to publish my package officially.
  • Github Action

    Finally, I moved onto working on Kien's potato SSG. His setup with catch2 is similar to mine, we both have it set up to provide us a main which we compile separately when we want to test it, rather than having it integrated into the program all the time. This made it easy to get started on his, I read his contributing.md which specified one should create a new source file to write their desired test cases, which I did. After messing around with file paths for a bit and figuring out how to get my test to pass, I pushed a commit and created a pull request with a test for his HTMLFile.getTitle() function. Unfortunately I realized with the workflow he had set up this wouldn't trigger his CI so I opted to insert my test case in test.cpp instead to see if it passed his workflow, which thankfully it did.
  • Set Up GitHub Action, add test to partner's repo

    This week, I set up GitHub Action for my Static Site Generator (SSG). There are several options with C++ language and I picked C/C++ with Make to implement.

    Back to potato generator, I kept chipping away at it and had it almost ready to go this afternoon when I found I had glossed over the logic for supporting multiple languages in HTML. I didn't realize why he was iterating over the CLI arguments when in my SSG they were always in the same place relative to one another, so I did away with all those loops yesterday only to have to restore them today. After several tests I pushed the changes which (he then merged as well)[https://github.com/kiennguyenchi/potato-generator/pull/12].
  • OSD600 - Week 4 - Lab 3
    1 project | dev.to | 30 Sep 2021
  • First experience with Pull Request
    1 project | dev.to | 23 Sep 2021
    This is actually my first time working with Pull Request, and once again I choose Kien Nguyen as my partner for this lab. Based on the previous lab, I have noticed how he writes his program, as well as being familiar with the structure of Kien's program.I also check his repo to see if he would make any changes in his code. And this time, I would love to add Markdown Support Feature in his program. More specifically, I will make some adjustments to process .md file and implement Markdown syntax for Heading 1. This time, I have to be extra careful when modifying his code, I am trying to make less changes as much as possible ^!^. Let see how I make changes to his code in order to support Markdown file mentioned above.
