ProgrammingOpen Letter From An @ignored Test by JackOfAllTrades(op): 3:52pm On Jun 26, 2015
Dear developer,
I’ve been wanting to talk to you for a while now, but words don’t always come easy. We’ve had some really fun times together. I still remember the first time I warned you about a minor bug in your code, and how happy you were for having me in your life! Do you remember it? I also remember the first time you refactored me to make me more efficient and how well-written I felt afterwards... ah, great times!
I owe you everything, I know. And I'm thankful for it. I wouldn't exist if it weren’t for you. You thought that I was needed so you created me, and from that moment on I am at your service, and I am glad to be, as you gave me a purpose. I want to catch bugs for you. I want to give you assurance that things will continue to work after your changes. I want to make your life easier, and you know I can do all those things, I know you do.
But then, with no clear explanation, I started to fail sometimes, for no specific reason. Something broke a little inside of me. I was able to continue functioning almost normally, but I couldn’t avoid causing red builds from time to time, it was simply out of my control. I became... flakey. My flakiness upset you, and I am not angry about that, as it upset me too. I was not reliable anymore. I lost my purpose. At this point, I have to say, it hurts me to remember how you reacted after some weeks of flakiness: instead of investing some love and dedicate a couple of hours to fix me and get me back to a good state, you annotated me as @ignore and abandoned me in an immense and desolate codebase.
My statements and assertions can’t help to shed a tear when I think of this. For an automated test, being flakey is bad – but at least I passed successfully from time to time, and my failures were a reminder that I needed some of your magic; but being ignored my friend... that is simply terrible. If there is a hell for automated tests, it definitely is being annotated as @ignore and forgotten, being surrounded by successful tests that go green and not being able to join them, watching builds pass by and not pick me up, sitting between infinite lines of code, hopelessly waiting, needing a fix and not being taken care of... I would never wish that even to my worst automated test enemies.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand that automated tests have a lifecycle, and eventually they get replaced by other automated tests, better and more modern. Sometimes our flakiness can’t be resolved, so we need to be removed or replaced, and that’s ok. Sometimes the code we are testing is simply retired, so we have no purpose anymore, and that’s ok as well. It’s part of who we are. But hey: I am code too, you know? I need attention! I need to be implemented and refactored properly to achieve my purpose! I need code reviews where you look at me with care and spot issues that I might have, because tests can have bugs too! It’s simply unfair to only look after feature code and, when forgotten tests start to fail, annotate them as @ignore and continue your day as if nothing happened. It’s outrageous!
All I am asking is for you to make up your mind about me, either fix me or delete me, but do not forget about me! You break my statements when you do. Humans have issues with decisions, as we lines of code know, so if you need to get away with a green build and ignore me for a couple of runs, it’s fine. Really! But if you are not going to come back immediately and find what’s wrong with me and why have I been flakey recently, have some decency at least: raise an issue in your bug tracker, so that someone else can give me the attention I need to get back on track and provide some value again. It’s not that hard, is it? Please? For all the green builds we’ve had together?
I sincerely hope we can sort out our differences soon.
Forever yours,
@Ignored Test

Hello my dear gurus and upcoming gurus, imagine your client point out a website to you and ask you to build exactly like that for him/her,how would you achieve that in a very short time however fantastic or complicated the website is?
the website the client wants obviously wasn't build 'in a very short time' but with httrack you can clone a website in less than an hour, only the design & JavaScript functionalities, you can't clone backend functionalities

he wants a system that reads a file analyze it an then generate question based on its analysis.

Example: You upload a biology PDF file the system reads it and start asking biology questions based on the biology book uploaded.

@op am I right?

Finally, hope they didn't break the language heard they were contemplating on removing the old style of constructor in php (i.e method with same name and class) and sticking with __construct() method, I read the features last year, the return type is awesome but what if I'm either returning string or array just like in the standard php doc i.e string|array, all the same will try this version on my system tho

ProgrammingApple Makes Swift Programming Language Open Source by JackOfAllTrades(op): 11:21am On Jun 09, 2015
This is incredibly important to us software developers, because it means that they we can understand how the technology works under the hood, down to every line of code, then make our own improvements that we can submit to potentially get included in the main project. It gives a single developer the chance to make a huge impact on a popular piece of software.
That's why announcement got the loudest cheers at yesterday's WWDC keynote, beating out a new iOS, a new Mac OS X, and Apple's new music streaming service.

Datatype is needed.
JQuery always perform intelligent guess in ajax response once the server set it to application/json it will return a JavaScript object other wise it will return a string of the response, so data type can be optional
ProgrammingRe: Help! Cannot Get Json Array Into Input Field - Jquery by JackOfAllTrades: 11:06am On Jun 06, 2015
@op i just tested your code it appears if you remove the dataType and ContentType options it runs fine

ProgrammingRe: Help! Cannot Get Json Array Into Input Field - Jquery by JackOfAllTrades:

thanks for the suggestion, but i have already set the dataType:"json" which will parse it. Tried it anyway and it gave me null when i alerted it.
it gives you null because your php script is not outputting anything, you need to add this in the php after the while loop

print_r( json_encode($result) );

Setting data type to json in JQuery doesn't automatically parse it to json unless you set the MIME response of the server to application/json
Then the JQuery success callback will return a JavaScript object
Add this line in the beginning of your php script to set mime of the php script
header('Content-type: application/json');

I think firebug is printing the json string instead of the object and that's why you should parse it
ProgrammingRe: Help! Cannot Get Json Array Into Input Field - Jquery by JackOfAllTrades: 8:13pm On Jun 05, 2015
Try parsing the data with JSON.parse();
