emergency-poncho VS abs_cd

I've created a tool for replaying HTTP archives:

https://github.com/Tade0/emergency-poncho

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Useful when you're a front-end developer and the backend app is not easily deployable locally and the test environment is down.

Also with it you can make a blazing-fast, browsable snapshot of JIRA.

This is a HTTP mock server for reproducing issues on the front-end using a recorded HTTP archive(.har file).

The gimmick is that for a given endpoint it stores all the responses and serves them in a round-robin sequence.

This way you can simulate situations where e.g. a request has been retried after the JWT expired, or something special happens when an item is added to a list, and the list is refreshed afterwards - basically every case in which you need backend state.

It works... sometimes. Each new project I'm in uncovers new issues.

That being said with the test team giving me both videos and .har files of the bug reproduction I was able to solve a few long standing bugs in one legacy system.

Get a CI to check if pkg build in clean environments. So many users will falsely report broken packages while they simply ran makepkg in their arch installation & the build system pulls crap from it into the build process & it fails despite your pkg being fine. It's a shame every AUR helper except aurutils still doesn't support building in clean chroots, but you can't change that. I build https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd for that, which end the end served a custom repo easing the installation for users, too. There are plenty alternatives to my SW out there, too.

You can find the CD status on https://abs-cd.oscloud.info/

This commit should also be a good example on how to configure crond to work well with logging in an Arch container.

A CI/CD with webinterface for Archlinux packages which optional AUR push support if builds succeed. It's based on Django and works with Docker/Podman. I originally made it for my own AUR packages (> 300), I needed accessible build logs if I want to collab, which the common builders didn't provide. I made the project public and it's crazy for me as an open source beginner to see how many people like this. The basic features are complete, but things like multiarch are getting add soon.

It now has podman compatibility as as a PR: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

It now should have podman compatibility, would be nice if you test it: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

If it really takes that long (and you maybe have more than one device or your friends use the same packages) and you can't find a user already packaging it in their private repo you could host an own repo in you local network. I created a CI/CD software for Arch packages which makes this easier: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd
