    Windows Dev Box Try 3 2020

    Yes this is try number 3. See here for the first 2 goes at it. With WSL2 out and a great laptop I wanted to give this another try. MariaDB Even though the install is super simple see https://alfrednutile.info/posts/267 I still end up having to do: $ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation mysql> USE mysql; mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> exit; $ service mysql restart To allow me to then use this command, for example maraidb -uroot -proot otherwise I have “Error connecting on localhost” type errors.

Notice I am using 9000 above my insanity of using 9005 below has passed

    IronFunctions and PHP

    A colleague of mine Dave Hall poing out IronFunctions. And being in the pursuit of serverless options especially ones that even have examples of PHP I had to give it a try. This post is a note2self in that the intro here has some bits that need fixing BUT I think it is close and I hope to add more updates here about the tool. All the steps below will only work once you take on the initial hello world here.

    Testing a trait with PHPUnit

    In an effort to start recording test coverage using vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-text --coverage-clover=coverage.clover I had some issues with traits being seen. I tried numerous approaches my default being just to Use the trait in the test class. I ended up with this as I found some online info about trait testing here that references a now missing post by Sebastian Bergman the maker of PHPUnit <?php use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml; /** * Test class for {@see PfawsYaml}.

    Instantiate Request for Testing

    When I need to make a request for a test in which the Class is expecting a \Illuminate\Http\Request I can do this for a file based or non file based request. /** * @Then I should be able to upload an image file */ public function iShouldBeAbleToUploadAnImageFile() { $request = new \Illuminate\Http\Request(); $file = new \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\FileBag(); $path = base_path('tests/fixtures/example_profile.jpg'); $originalName = 'example_profile.jpg'; $upload = new \Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile($path, $originalName, null, null, null, true); $file->set('profile_image', $upload); $request->files = $file; $this->repo = new \App\Repositories\ProfileRepository(); $results = $this->repo->uploadUserProfileImage($request); PHPUnit::assertTrue($results, "Repo did not return true"); PHPUnit::assertTrue(File::exists(public_path('storage/' .

    Super Simple Sending Messages to Slack from Laravel

    Laravel 5.3 has this feature. But for those not using that version or who just want to see how easy this is, I will show here how I been doing this for some time now. Here is the main Class I call to send a message. As you can see I am using Guzzle, in this case "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.1" but others versions can work. <?php namespace App\Services; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log; use GuzzleHttp\Client; class SlackWrapper { /** * @var Client $client */ protected $client; protected $slack_url = false; public function __construct(Client $client) { $this->client = $client; } public function sendMessageToSlack($message) { try { $this->client->request( 'POST', $this->getSlackUrl(), [ 'body' => $this->message($message) ] ); } catch (\Exception $e) { Log::debug(sprintf("Error sending to Slack %s", $e->getMessage())); } } protected function message($message) { return json_encode( [ 'text' => $message ] ); } public function getSlackUrl() { if (!

    Pusher and PHP 'Error Failed to connect to Pusher'

    Note to self. Getting this error “Error Failed to connect to Pusher” but the front end is working. And you know your credentials are correct, AND it was working just a day ago check the date and time on your machine/vm. Mine had drift and since it was behind by 20 minutes I would end up with this error. Oy what a waste or time x 2 :(

    Guzzle 5 or 6 or ????

    Sometimes Guzzle can be a real pain to use in an library. You choose 5.x and then some other library needed 6.x and heck you really did not care either way. One interesting package example is aws/aws-sdk-php If you look in it’s composer.json you will see this "require": { "php": ">=5.5", "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.3|~6.0.1|~6.1", "guzzlehttp/psr7": "~1.0", "guzzlehttp/promises": "~1.0", "mtdowling/jmespath.php": "~2.2" }, So it allows for other libraries to choose as needed and it will deal with the different versions as needed.

    Mockery Behat and Laravel

    This is a quick view of using this library https://github.com/laracasts/Behat-Laravel-Extension and a Mockery Trait (should be included soon but for now put the below in your features/bootstrap folder and run composer dump). The example here is a method that looks like this features/bootstrap/ExampleContext.php $partial = Mockery::mock(\App\Broadcasts\ColumnsAndRowsDoneProcessingEmail::class, [$this->segment])->makePartial(); $partial->shouldReceive('sendEmail')->never(); $repo = App::make(\App\JobsRepository::class); $partial->handle($repo); When this is done running I would get pass BUT if I change it never to once and run it again I still get green :(

    Uploading Images in Behat both at Domain Level and UI Level

    The goal here is as follows @fileCleanup @javascript Scenario: Uploading File Given I already made a Segmentation and am editing it Then I add file and the system will process it And I can not add another file till it is done And when the system is done I can add another file In this case they are large files and I want to get an MVP for the users to interact with so one file at a time is enough for now.

    Behat Laravel Domain Testing Inside Out

    I will cover the use of FormRequest, Mockery, Behat and more in this article. The article will show how to test your Domain code, in this case I mean testing how the code will work outside of the Routing and Controller layer of your Application. But what this will lead to is a “lego” like moment of plugging in these parts to your Controller so you know it will work. Of course it will be tested as well during the UI testing.

    Example of Mixing it up Behat BDD and PHPUnit

    Just wanted to show two things here. One is how sometimes I end up in PHPUnit to work out some ideas. And two how awesome it is to refactor thanks to PHPUnit. In this example I had a Class responsible for saving data, we’ll call FooSaveData. But before that save it has to process some incoming information against another set of data to save the results of that. So I made another class we’ll call FooProcessData.
