See your problem is you're editing the code until it passes the tests. It's way easier if you edit the tests until it passes the code.

This is what they mean by test driven development.

Can't tell if you are joking. I know a lot of junior developers who think this is a legitimate solution.

Unless you are using groovy (jenkins), then you are running the pipeline to find syntax errors.

This comment is triggering and it should have a NSFW spoiler.

I hate groovy, gradle and Jenkins!

I don't know if sth. Else is better but I can confirm that shit is horrific

Horrible scripting language. Even worse than python. Close to Javascript

FYI, Jenkins has an endpoint to validate the pipeline without running it, and there's a VSCode extension to do this without leaving the editor: https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/11/07/Validate-Jenkinsfile/

I am not using Jenkins anymore but this seems like a lifesaver, thanks for sharing

[–] savedbythezsh 1 points 11 months ago

I use Jenkins for work, unfortunately, so I have plenty of experience

Only for declarative pipelines, forget it if you use scripted ones.

I just replace all my tests with noop codes. Quick, easy, passes.

If true == true pass!
