That's a good idea. and codefactor actually found an issue that is preventing me from refactoring further: the global EXIT_CODE variable. globals are almost always bad practice and we'll need to get rid of it.
If you explain a bit your rationale for having it in there, I will likely be able to figure out a way to do without it. It's for the CLI mode, yes? So that the program exits with RC 1 if there is a test failure?
Basically, It's what you noted. I know it's bad practice, and it's sort of a half-assed solution, but I needed a way to set EXIT_CODE at the file level so that it could be exited. See this code snippet:
https://github.com/JakeCover/distest/blob/ce78a862c2e80095423a250edfdd034cb0cbb6e1/distest/__init__.py#L393-L399
I have found that nothing in that function will run after I call client.close()
, so I couldn't use sys.exit(1)
or a return statement, since that would cause either the exit()/return
or close()
to not fire. (Does that make sense?) The next place my code runs is right after bot.run()
in the following snippet:
https://github.com/JakeCover/distest/blob/ce78a862c2e80095423a250edfdd034cb0cbb6e1/distest/__init__.py#L697-L700
This means that the exit code has to be processed there, if everything else stays the same. I really don't like this solution, as it uses globals, but it's the first thing me and some people on the disord.py server thought of when I brought it up.
EDIT: After writing this, I looked at the PRs and I see that you fixed it in 5bb0c51. That is a much more elegant way to do this! Thank you!
Hey all, I'm looking into adding https://www.codefactor.io/ to the project in order to try to catch the most basic errors and keep the quality high.
EDIT: This is (for now) the place to talk about code quality changes that aren't severe enough to merit their own issue. If it will just be 2 or 3 comments, just have it here rather than in a brand new issue.
