See your problem is you're editing the code until it passes the tests. It's way easier if you edit the tests until it passes the code.

This is what they mean by test driven development.

Can't tell if you are joking. I know a lot of junior developers who think this is a legitimate solution.

Unless you are using groovy (jenkins), then you are running the pipeline to find syntax errors.

This comment is triggering and it should have a NSFW spoiler.

I hate groovy, gradle and Jenkins!

I don't know if sth. Else is better but I can confirm that shit is horrific

Horrible scripting language. Even worse than python. Close to Javascript

[–] juicy@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you don't think Python is a good scripting language, what is a good scripting language in your opinion? Bourne Shell? VBScript? PHP?

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I like python and if you use typing it is awesome.

I like kotlin script too. But normal languages are better than scripting languages usually.

Typing in python leaves a lot to be desired... Being looking at peps for quite some time, but it's really hard for the language to make progress without breaking compatibility.

Hopefully at some point MOJO becomes mature enough to use in a professional setting.

FYI, Jenkins has an endpoint to validate the pipeline without running it, and there's a VSCode extension to do this without leaving the editor: https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/11/07/Validate-Jenkinsfile/

I am not using Jenkins anymore but this seems like a lifesaver, thanks for sharing

[–] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I use Jenkins for work, unfortunately, so I have plenty of experience

[–] Ackward@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Only for declarative pipelines, forget it if you use scripted ones.

I just replace all my tests with noop codes. Quick, easy, passes.

[–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

If true == true pass!
