MyCmd and MyProject Weekly Progress Report: 2025 Week 26

MyProject Demo

My demoable goal for this week was to improve the code coverage instrumentation, report generation, and improve the code coverage of my tests.

I wanted to show off the build process for MyProject, and so I made this demo with VHS:

This shows executing the build which does:

• formatting all code
• linting all code
• executing all tests
• reporting on test coverage and test results

And then I execute the task to view the code coverage reports.

I am now at ~97% code coverage, the last bit of code not covered will require some changes that I need to make to MyCmd itself to make testing against calls to mycmd.output easier. I will do that later.

This Week’s MyProject Updates

This week I pushed 8 commits to the MyProject repository, including the following changes:

• Rewriting the Code Coverage analysis to rely on tools like grep, sed, sort, and uniq; it now executes nearly instantly instead of 21 seconds.
• Generating a summary of code coverage at the end of test execution.
• Updating the vendored version of shunit to the latest from the master branch.
• Updating the coverage reporting:
  • Allow skipping lines for code coverage by adding a comment: # coverage skip: 2, which indicates the next two lines should be ignored for coverage.
  • Handle multi-line statements properly and propagate the coverage to all lines.
• Improved the test coverage.
• Adding new project tasks for paging coverage reports and generating demos using VHS.

LinkedIn Messages

I was needing to review my old LinkedIn messages this week and I admit I find using the LinkedIn Website and Mobile App a bit frustrating for messages. I Had recently downloaded my full LinkedIn data which includes as CSV file for the messages. This week I put together something to take that CSV file and generate an HTML for each LinkedIn message folder, which then has a link to an HTML file for each conversation. It has made things a lot easier to review these old messages.

See the scripts and details in this gist.

That said, I am looking for a new job right now; please reach out with my contact information on my website; see my latest resume here.

Next Week

I started working on fileset support this week but haven’t yet made any commits. I will finish the fileset work next week. I’m making pretty good progress on MyProject!
