New thoughts on Draft PRs?
Joyce Sato-Reinhold took a different approach this sprint, she:
Only did 1 approach instead of multiple and very thoroughly documented her approach in comments on the PR (https://github.com/LiteFarmOrg/LiteFarm/pull/2461 )
Only Duncan reviewed the draft PR; one theory is when there are many PRs vying for your attention a draft one becomes de-prioritized
A few other approaches we could employ draft PRs for:
Sayaka Ono ‘s approach for work that’s “in progress” but not ready for approval
Jimmy’s approach for more experimental features that aren’t necessarily on the roadmap
Final guidance on using Draft PRs: use them if it helps your process!
Feedback on Mwaya’s unit testing guidance: Jest unit test guidance
Add a section on “what not to test”, what is the threshold to not create a test
Would be nice to know how are unit tests part of a more holistic testing strategy?
Would be nice to have a seed database with pre-made farms, users, crops, etc. that create a few baseline environments for testing. A few examples include “Farm with wild crops”, “Farm with paid and unpaid users”, etc.
Joyce Sato-Reinhold: I'm very fond of this idea because a large volume of the code in each test file involves the setup of the farms, users, etc. Moving this setup into a database seeding script would make the tests much shorter and more readable. But it would also introduce the complexities of keeping the testing files in sync with the seed script and knowing when to use the current approach with the mocks vs. relying on the seed database.
