Refactor tests to use pytest

[tgittos]

You didn't use pytest, and you definitely didn't do any reading about how to properly test a Flask application. Refactor your test lib to properly leverage pytest and set up a proper test of the Flask application. You'll need to use a fixture to create a test client to test against at the very least.

As requested in the previous issue, please tag these issues in your commits, and work in a branch and submit PRs.

I've given up on Storybook for the time being- I tried building a new component using it but for some reason the interface stopped recognizing that the new component existed- and so, instead, since I got a response from an interview that's asking me to do a technical assessment, I figured I might as well redo my first Flask server, and do the tests properly.

Any reading material on pytest and Flask integration that you can recommend, so I don't embarrass myself this time?

[tgittos]

This looks like a good place to start:

Great job on getting a tech screen, and good luck! Let me know if you want to practice interviewing tomorrow.

...And the assessment turns out to be in Ruby, which I've never used before.

Lord have mercy.

[tgittos]

It's fine.

Ruby and Python are fairly close.

I find Ruby to be easier to reason about the language if you don't know much about it than any other language.

Start here: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ruby-from-other-languages/to-ruby-from-python/ Then run through this: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

That should get you 80% of the way there, but also tell them you don't know Ruby and that you usually use Python.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure it out just fine- one of the things that was taught pretty well at ACC was learning new programming languages. It's just that the last time I wrote a RESTful API endpoint for a Hatchways-mediated technical assessment using a framework that was completely new to me, I didn't get any further in the interview process.

[tgittos]

Thats ok. These interviews are practice runs, really. Just do your best, learn how to interview (it's definitely a skill).

Your Github is getting better but we still need to keep going with the Python/React stuff. You're learning a lot of great new things, and if you keep interviewing and practicing, you should be able to get a job no problem in a month or so.
