Extra User Stories
User Story Tables
| Noun | Verb | Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Game | play | |
| Player | name |
Am I gonna build the backend first? maybe.
uggghhhh.
Well my thoughts were do extra user stories.
But - that's not the point of this. This is about making a functional UI.
sigh. For this purpose, UI first, backend after. Is this standard? idk.
Plan done
That was Useful
revised class table something like
| Class | Method | Attribute |
|---|---|---|
| Game | play | |
| name |
where play takes a paramater of rock or paper or scissors, via a button (SVG rock / paper / scissors? )
what tests do I need?
-
does localhost:port/ have fill_in :name
-
does / have submit
-
does / click_button take to /game?
-
does /game display Game.name?
-
does /game display buttons rock / paper / scissors?
-
does /game click_button submit (page) have "You win / lose?"
something like if game.result show you win/lose
but set game.result as nil
right, time for a break
post lunch
had to convert a the svg file from CRLF formatting to LF formatting using dos2unix tool. Good to know that works
I think it changes '/r/n' into '/n'
tiem to build a spec in the ./spec/features folder for the UI, using capybara / rspec features/scenario kwords.
use the RSpec 'skip' keyword or preppend with 'x' - 'it' -> ''xit', 'scenarion' -> 'xscenario'
Terminal CTRL-A is MAGIC how did I not know this?!?!
Servers
We spent this afternoon looking at servers. yes, we're not supposed to - but this person had written their code. They missed a typo in a DSL that we've used for four days, having no previous experience of web frameworks.
Then we talked about servers. We got there. We followed the flow. How does the data transfer?
form posts to routeA, routeA assigns params to variable, variable into routeB, routeB interpolates the variable
it worked. we got there. Genuinely, I cannot think of a better use of my time. magic.
