Don't overwrite existing gists until we test the new version #8

Closed kwalrath closed 9 years ago

kwalrath commented 9 years ago

This isn't an issue yet, but in the future when we're replacing existing gists, we'll want to be able to make sure those gists work well in DartPad before we replace the existing gist. Possible issues are failure to execute, code that's too wide, DartPad section sizes that need adjustment (for particularly large or small output, for example), ...

It would be nice if there were a command-line option for either "yes, replace my gist" or "just testing, don't replace the gist". It could be something like --replace / -r or --test-gist / -t.

@Sfshaza do you have any preference? Anything to add?

kasperpeulen commented 9 years ago

so maybe make an anonymous or secret gist, for the testing ? @kwalrath

kwalrath commented 9 years ago

Secret might be good, just so we know that it's not one we intend to publish.

kasperpeulen commented 9 years ago

I'm thinking, if you are going to do this for a long time, and create everytime a new gist when testing, you may end up with hundreds of gists here: https://gist.github.com/kwalrath

maybe secret + anonymous ?

kwalrath commented 9 years ago

Sure, that sounds good. I haven't used secret + anonymous, but as long as I don't lose the window that says where the gists are... it should be good. I can always regenerate if I do lose it.

kasperpeulen commented 9 years ago

this should be fixed now

It works great. Thanks!
