Git-TCRDD

Crate pipeline status License

This project has been renamed to git-gamble




TCRDD = TCR (test && commit || revert) + TDD (Test Driven Development)

Original idea by Xavier Detant

Theory

TCR

TCR is cool! It encourages doing baby steps, reducing the waste when we are wrong

But it doesn't allow us to see the tests failing

So:

  • Maybe we test nothing (assert forgotten)

    def test_should_be_Buzz_given_5():
        input = 5
        actual = fizz_buzz(input)
        # Oops! Assert has been forgotten
    
  • Maybe we are testing something that is not the thing we should be testing

    it("should be Fizz given 3", () => {
      const input = 3;
      const actual = fizzBuzz(input);
      expect(input).toBe("Fizz");
      // Oops! Asserts on the input value instead of the actual value
    });
    

TDD

TDD is cool! It makes sure we develop the right thing, step by step

TCRDD

TCRDD = TCR + TDD

TCRDD blends the constraints of the two methods to benefit from their advantages

Therefore, TCRDD makes sure we develop the right thing, step by step, and we are encouraged to do so by baby steps, reducing the waste when we are wrong

How to install

This will be improved

Install Cargo

cargo install --git https://gitlab.com/pinage404/git-tcrdd

Add ~/.cargo/bin to your $PATH

Fish:

set --export --append PATH ~/.cargo/bin

Bash / ZSH:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin

Check if all have been well settled

git tcrdd

If it has been well settled, it should output this :

error: The following required arguments were not provided:
    <test-command>...
    <--pass|--fail>

USAGE:
    git-tcrdd --repository-path <repository-path> <--pass|--fail>

For more information try --help

If it has been badly settled, it should output this :

git : 'tcrdd' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

How to use

# To see all available flags and options
git-tcrdd --help # dash is only needed for --help

# Write a failing test in your codebase

# Then
git tcrdd --fail -- $YOUR_TEST_COMMAND

# Write the minimum code to make tests pass

# Then
git tcrdd --pass -- $YOUR_TEST_COMMAND

# Refactor your code

# Then
git tcrdd --pass -- $YOUR_TEST_COMMAND

# It's a bit tedious to always repeat the test command
# So you can set an environment variable with the test command to avoid repeating it all the time
export TCRDD_TEST_COMMAND="sh -c 'cargo fix --allow-dirty ; cargo clippy --all-targets ; cargo check --all-targets ; cargo fmt ; cargo test'"
git tcrdd --pass

Test command must exit with a 0 status when there are 0 failing tests, anything else is considered as a failure

Technical improvement opportunities

  • licence check
    • cargo license
    • cargo deny
  • code coverage
    • tarpaulin
    • kcov
  • smaller binary
    • cargo bloat
    • cargo deps

Reinvent the wheel

Why reinvent the wheel?

This script already works well

Because i would like to learn Rust ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
