IPC144 VS execa

Reviewing two PRs from a classmate is one of the duties for this project. The PRs, as well as my reviews, are available here and here. Both of the PRs I reviewed were really well-written and detailed, with very few mistakes. It was interesting to observe how different people approached certain changes, such as adding a svg file.

For this assignment we had to contribute to a Seneca repository. I chose the IPC144 repo.

Issue: https://github.com/Seneca-ICTOER/IPC144/issues/64 I worked on the standardized front matter across all markdown pages. This open-source project is the C language course notes of my major program.

And the reason why the web-only artifacts is still appear on the PDF page is because the --excludeSelectors option is not implemented enough. I have to add .clean-btn to the --excludeSelectors, the purpose of this is not to include the "On the page" artifact in side the PDF page. This is the final source code I have implement for this improvement and my pull request

I think I was able to do a good job meeting my goals I gave myself in my planning phase of this release. I was able to finish the issues well on schedule while balancing my other courses like I hoped and I was able to properly audit and fix both issues #122 and #123 without needing too many changes after review. What I learned from those two issues is the importance to read and checkout other issues/pull requests, especially for smaller repos. As I was told in the review for both my issues, I learned that the project recently made changes with how we would format the frontmatter. In PR #142 we no longer use the slug for pages due to inconsistency with links and we also need to include a description to follow the standardized Frontmatter as updated in PR #143.

The first issue I was working on IPC144 Course Note is about improving the usability of the PDF file generated from the website. All contents are generated inside the PDF, however, we want to get this better since some of the pictures are not showing properly, and also the web-only artifacts are still on the PDF, which we do not want it when we use the "PDF" version. convert-to-pdf.sh file would be modified a bit to accomplish this.

Issue #113

PR

As for this pull request, the code review went much more smoothly, with me having to only make minor changes to ensure that it would not cause any errors when built.

I’m partial to Sindre Sorhus’ execa, this document outlines the differences:

Yeah, or over https://github.com/sindresorhus/execa?

And given the existence of those npm packages, is there any aspect of Bun Shell that required it to be built into the Bun runtime instead of published to npm?

For something which works across all JS runtimes (Deno, Node) and achieves basically the same, check out the popular JS library Execa[1]. Works like a charm!

To simplify the process of running the commands, I will use execa - abstraction library on top of Node.js child_process methods.

Hello, this is an interesting problem. At https://stacktape.com (where we're creating a developer-friendly abstraction of AWS), we're recommending 2 options: - use a "deployment script" (basically a custom-resource lambda function that runs during the CloudFormation deployment). You can install prisma into it, and then execute the migration command from the lambda function using something like execa, if you're using Javascript/Typescript. You can easily do this with Stacktape anytime. - use a bastion (EC2) instance (deployed to the the VPC where your RDS db is). The cheapest instances cost ~4.5$/month, so it shoudln't be too costly. You can also securely connect to it using EC2 instance connect, that leverages IAM to grant permissions to connect to it. (this is something we're currently implementing as Stacktape, and will be ready in ~2 weeks).

For FE, it’s usually Cypress or Playwright; for BE, it’s to run a server and start sending requests; for CLI, I like the tool called execa.

Since version 6 execa is pure ES module. An attempt to import a package into NestJS project results in an error:

Essentially when I run this from my shell I get a listing of keymaps configured for vim. However, when I run it from a program without a PTY or TTY (e.g., via Rust's Command or Node's execa) I get an exit code of 0 and no output.
