Each time having to run make clean, or try building a brand new repo. And last week, as mentioned before, I was having such severe problems that I created a new user account on my Operating System, in order to get everything working again, after which, I quickly ran into problems again. This has resulted in quite a bit of frustration on my part, and painfully slow progress toward my goal of writing as many tests as possible. And so after discussing this with my mentors, Xisco and Hossein recommended that I switch my OS from Fedora over to Ubuntu. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This ended up being a time consuming process, it took a whole day to get everything working again, and then some time to set up my working environment, but in the end paid off and things are going much smoother now. Using Ubuntu I’ve been able to easily build off commits that were giving me loads of problems before with Fedora. So if anyone is reading this and pondering which Linux distro to choose for development work, go with the safe choice, Ubuntu.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So after loosing some time for infrastructure work, I’ve been able to get the ball rolling. I’ve written most of the test for tdf#157484, the patch is for which is here </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/170864" class="">https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/170864</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ve also written a test for this bug report</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122452" class="">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122452</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It is currently not working as expected and needs some debugging.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In addition to working on these two tests I’ve been trying to reproduce other bugs and while I’ve been able to build on the appropriate commits, I’ve not been able to reproduce the bugs. And so I’ve started going through the list of Missing Unit tests in order to find good candidates for tests. Next on the list I have </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135709" class="">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135709</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134973" class="">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134973</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131288" class="">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=<font color="#000000" class="">1</font>31288</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The bugs here are verified on Linux, relatively recent fixes and have clearly defined steps to reproduce, which will aid in writing the tests. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Until next week,</div><div class="">Adam Seskunas</div></body></html>
