Add an initial test

[RichardLitt]

See if you can check if GitHub is down, for instance, to make #40 happen.

Go tests!

[RichardLitt]

@dignifiedquire You have a lot of experience in testing. Could you perhaps help me out here? I'm not sure where to start. Any reading material would be ace.

[dignifiedquire]

@RichardLitt what kind of tests exactly are you looking for?

[RichardLitt]

Any, in general. I know that testing is important; at the moment, the code for this project doesn't have any tests, and it is brittle. I keep coming against edge cases here and there, which throw off the final product.

One thing to do would be to modularize - for instance, take out the badge checking algorithm - and add tests with all sorts of edge cases for the badges - and then run them so that we know what will throw an error and what won't. That's something I can do. Thanks for helping me clarify that.

Will ping back if I need help.

@RichardLitt happy to have a general hangout about things if you want to :)

began work on testing branch. not working as yet, need to pull it apart a bit more. WIP here: https://github.com/ipfs/project-repos/tree/chore/test

[harlantwood]

My plan is to refactor into a few classes, which can be tested separately. Likely:

• Repo which wraps the octokat repo and adds methods
• RepoMatrix which makes a table from Repos
• App which adds the waiting spinner, jquery datatable, etc
