Well I though I would have a very quick post here today, which is nice as I am still not 100%. I was going to re-run my test-suite end to end and you would think with only '

in Database::Accessor there is not much that could go wrong.
First I had these annoying warings again;
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /home/scolesj/databaselib/Database/Accessor.pm line 479.
After little poking about I seen that I had to include a check to see if indeed there is an alias on the view. I added in this patch;
The second of the
bugs
that I am after squishing today was in Driver::DBI and in test case '15_alias.t'
It was dropping the elements/fields from the update command like this
Expected->UPDATE people SET first_name = ?
Generated -> UPDATE people SET
Looking at the code in Driver::DBI the line in question is the '_update' sub;
my (@field_sql) =
$self->_insert_update_container( Database::Accessor::Constants::UPDATE,
$container );
The first thing I checked was what was in the '$container' I was playing with. A line of two or waring and a run later it that turned out it was
Ever since Neil Bowers decided he would stop the "PullRequest Challenge" at the end of the year 2018 in this blog, I have been thinking over time what next after. He even wrote a blog about his ideas.
I am kind of addicted to this phenomena by now. I can't think of life without it. I then noticed someone called, Kıvanç Yazan, taking the initiative. He even setup a website PullRequest Club. Unfortunately I haven't seen much activities lately. Luckily he is giving talk at "The Perl Conference", Glasgow in Aug 2018, where I am also one of the speakers. I hope to meet him and discuss about the future of "PullRequest Challenge".
Felling a little better today as the mind is a little less foggy, that might change back on October

Today I am going to fix the first of the bugs I ran into
yesterday

Not a HASH reference at ,,,\t\lib/Database/Accessor/Driver/Test.pm line 13
# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 6.
The first thing I did was look back at my API and see how I define a $container and it can be Hash-Ref or a Class or an Array-Ref of Hash-refs and Classes and I looked at my failing test. In this test I am using an array_ref;
The Perl Toolchain Summit (previously known as the Perl QA Hackathon) is an annual coding workshop for people involved in the Perl toolchain, testing, quality assurance, and related issues. 2018 marked ten years of the PTS, so it seems fitting that it returned to Oslo, where it was first held. I’ve attended a few of them, and I was very pleased to take part in this one as well.
Well, thanks to the very generous donations by my kin Perl Hackers, the fundraiser for the Raspberry Pi eBook that Timm set up and I eventually jumped on board for has reached its initial fundraising goal!!
I'm very excited, and even before we hit the target, Timm and I had been in communication preparing for, and even commencing some of the book's aspects.
I would like to personally thank everyone for their support, and want to give Gabor a shout-out for monitoring the progress of the fundraiser, and making it prevalent in the Perl Weekly for those couple of weeks there. We noticed a significant spike in activity following the release of the newsletter. Thank you everyone!
Sorry I missed a few days it seem that when you have walking pneumonia it can turn into creeping pneumonia very easily. Who knew? I will have to start my year of daily posts again I guess I should be satisfied with 297 consecutive days.
Just a postette for for today and as usual it is just a quick all-up test post. For Database::Accessor it has been a while since I did a full pull on the repo and I got
The Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS) is a yearly event that gathers the maintainers and contributors to the Perl Toolchain for four days in one room. Having all the people with both the knowledge and access to work on this critical corner of Perl all together in one place always leads to progress which is much more than the sum of those individual contributions. What is the Perl Toolchain? It is any part of Perl which is involved with modules, from creating, authoring, testing, uploading, distributing, loading, reporting on tests and test coverage, etc, etc. Projects like CPAN clients (cpanm, cpm), aggregation sites like MetaCPAN, CPANTesters, cpancover, and critical infrastructure like PAUSE and modules like Test::More/Test2 and many others are represented.
This year’s event was hosted in Oslo, by the indomitable Salve Nilsen, who first started this event in 2008 ten years ago, back when it was called Perl Quality Assurance Hackathon (QAH). Together with local organizers Stig Palmquist and other Oslo.pm members, as well as remote organizers Philippe Bruhat, Neil Bowers, and Laurent Boivin, (and others as well, I’m sure) it was again a wonderful event!
I just released RSLinux-v1.01, it's a new Linux distribution with its package
manager, build configurations, and a demo one liner init system all written
in Perl. It offers complete freedom on how you want it to be, like LFS, but
much much easier. And needless to say, if you're a Perl hacker you already
got extra advantage to use it.
The package manager is available on CPAN now, and there's also a VM image
on github so that you could easily try it out.
Please see the documentation for more information.
You may remember a post a few days
ago
where I was starting the first of my practical Database::Driver::DBI tests against an Oracle DB I happen to have handy. I ran into problems right away as I was getting this generated SQL;
NSERT INTO people ( city, country_id, first_name,
last_name, postal_code, street, user_id )
VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? )
as the the container I was using was not being cleaned up so I was getting elements that where part of the 'address' view. My last few post cleaned up that problem and now when I run my test I get;;
GUIDeFATE, your favourite Quick-and-Dirty GUI designer for newbies is now acquiring a Web-socket interface. Now this is certainly not capable of competing with those genius applications Mojolicious, Catalyst, Dancer etc. Having only discovered Web-sockets a few weeks ago my yield is going to be decidedly sketchy. Of course a desktop interface is quite different to a web app...the machine running the interface is the same as the one the user is sitting at, and the program running the graphical output is the same as the one that is handling user interactions. When there is a client and server involved, a certain of communication is required between the two, both must of course be able to understand each other, even though they may be coded in different languages. GFweb (GUIDeFATE's Web-socket module) handles 1) the generation of the user interface 2) the initiation of a listening socket, 3) handles the communications between the two.
This year marks the 10 year anniversary of the Perl Toolchain Summit, formerly
known as the Perl QA Hackathon.
The Perl Toolchain Summit provides an opportunity for around 30 Perl
developers to get together for four days or so to talk about and develop the
infrastructure which surrounds Perl. This includes being able to build
modules, being able to test them on multiple systems, being able to find out
about them, being able to manage them, and many other related areas.
Salve Nilsen started the QA Hackathon back in 2008 in Oslo, and we returned in 2018
with Salve again being involved in the organisation.
This year I was very happy to discover that a number of people arrived in Oslo
with the idea of working on some area of Devel::Cover (the Perl code coverage
module) or cpancover (the service that provides coverage information for all
of CPAN).
