first-timers-only

This issue is tagged :octocat: first-timers-only. It is only for people who have never contributed to open source before, and are looking for an easy way take their first steps.

Consider this your chance to dip your toe into the world of open-source, and get some bragging rights for writing code that makes drones fly, lets cars find charging stations, helps people and goods get from place to place, and more.

Thank you for your help :heart:

What is this project?

DAV (Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles) is a new foundation working to build an open-source infrastructure for autonomous vehicles (cars, drones, trucks, robots, and all the service providers around them) to communicate and transact with each other over blockchain.

As an organization that believes in building a large community of open-source contributors, we often create issues like this one to help people take their first few steps into the world of open source.

dav-js

This repo contains the DAV JavaScript SDK. This SDK allows developers to build applications and servers that connect to the DAV network. For example, allowing a drone to find charging stations, or an autonomous car to ask for traffic data.

How you can help

In order to foster a community that is welcoming for open source contributions, it is important for us to have good test coverage. And good tests are simple, readable tests.

Here is a good opportunity to simplify one of our tests.

The Issue

We currently do not have unit testing set up for src/drone-charging/MessageParams.ts. Please create Jest tests for the serialize() and deserialize() methods.

A good reference point would be src/ride-hailing/MissionParams.test.ts and customize it to the expected parameters and properties. If you are unsure what is expected, run npm run jest in the terminal and it should give you a hint. Also, you can reach out to our gitter channel with any questions 😄

The test you write will be similar to this:

import MessageParams from './MessageParams';

describe('MessageParams class', () => {
  let messageParams: MessageParams;
  let serializedMessageParams: any;

  beforeEach(() => {
    messageParams = new MessageParams({
      senderId: undefined
    });

    serializedMessageParams = {
      protocol: 'drone_charging',
      type: 'message',
      senderId: undefined,
      ttl: undefined
    };
  });

  describe('serialize method', () => {
    it('should return serialized MessageParams object with the current values', () => {
      expect(messageParams.serialize()).toEqual(serializedMessageParams);
    });
  });

  describe('deserialize method', () => {
    it('should return a MessageParms instance', () => {
      const messageParamsObject = new MessageParams();
      messageParamsObject.deserialize(serializedMessageParams);
      expect(messageParamsObject).toBeInstanceOf(MessageParams);
    });

    it('should return deserialize MessageParams instance with the current parameters', () => {
      const messageParamsObject = new MessageParams();
      messageParamsObject.deserialize(serializedMessageParams);
      expect(messageParamsObject).toEqual(messageParams);
    });
  });
});

After making your changes, run npm run tslint and npm run jest to make sure our tests are passing.

I can do this one too.

Hi @lucasheim that's great :smile: we love the enthusiasm! If you could work on one issue and one PR at a time, that will help us review PRs better. This also allows more contributors to work on more issues. Could you let us know which issue you would like to claim?

lucasheim commented 5 years ago

Sure, this one.

mariolo1985 commented 5 years ago
