Task automation #1

Open christian-thomas opened 7 years ago

christian-thomas commented 7 years ago

Just thinking about the best ways to automate this and mean we hopefully don't have to have too much intervention! Possible shell script to:

Set the git author name + email address
Start a gulp watch task which runs the tests on save
Starts a (gulp?) timer
User then works their magic to get all green tests
As soon as all tests pass, timer and gulp tasks are stopped, code is committed and pushed (with time taken if possible?)
Repository is reset to default state

I already thought about all this - I love that we think the same 😉

That said, we don't need a timer. We could:

auto branch for the name / email
commit with some specific standard change (maybe just tidy version of their name + email in a text file)
have file they can double click when they finish that commits the changes

then we have timing perfectly based on commit history.

I'm unsure we can do it 'auto' on when tasks are all green but that could easily just auto execute my last point if I can find a way to do that.

Haha yeah, was a bit of a brain dump on things that it could do. I guess the only thing with no timer, would be that we'd need to calculate mm:ss from the commit logs, not a massive issue though I guess!

OK to use this it's pretty simple.

Installation

git clone git@github.com:industrious-mouse/challenge.git .;
composer install;
yarn.

Participation

Make the user fill in author.json with their details (Name + Email);
yarn run start;
They complete the challenge and it's committed automatically.

Resetting

yarn run reset.

If there is an issue and somehow gulp dies (which I highly doubt) - don't run yarn run start as it will reset the time tracking, you'll need to run yarn run resume.
