Linking commits to issues and issues to issues on BitBucket (via: Resolve issues automatically when users push code – Bitbucket – Atlassian Documentation)

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/13

Besides commit statements from hg or git like this:

hg commit -m “fixes , resolve ticket and see ticket and ticket in the tracker”

The best is to start with the command, then finish the comment (commands in the middle of a comment are far less reliable).

There is a whole bunch of commands for which BitBucket tries to understand conjugations of verbs:

Command “Verb” Conjugation(s)
resolve close close
closes
closed
closing
resolve fix
fix
fixed
fixes
fixing
resolve resolve resolve
resolves
resolved
resolving
reopen reopen reopen
reopens
reopening
hold hold hold
holds
holding
wontfix wontfix wontfix
invalid invaldate invalidate
invalidates
invalidated
invalidating

You can also use the word “issue” in the middle to just link to an issue like this syntax:

links to issue

Finally, you can refer from issues to change sets using a cset syntax: <<cset 2f2f8d4cae7da0e37a5ffbc81c527cb67cc56015>> where the hex number is from a URL in your commit list (for instance in https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/fastmm/commits)

Note that linking from changesets to issues often automatically creates a back-link, but that doesn’t always work, and fixing it has very low priority (like many things on BitBucket): Issues getting linked to commits have the wrong link syntax, they show BB-6232 — Bitbucket.

How to reopen a closed branch in Hg/Mercurial – via: Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/12

Thanks to the answers and comments on stackoverflow, here are my steps to resurrect a closed hg branch:

  1. List all branches (including closed ones)
    • hg branches --closed
  2. Switch to a closed branch
    • hg update my_closed_branch_name
  3. Change anything
    • For instance by adding a tag, as that is considered a versioned and mergeable change)
      • hg tag reopened_my_closed_branch
    • Or making a change to a file, then ommit your changes
      • hg commit -m "I changed a message"

This works because of what Lazy Badger explained in another answer which summarised is:

A commit on top of a closed head effectively opens the head.

Note: if you while experimenting with this, you want to undo your last change before committing, perform this command to revert back one revision:

hg update -C -r .

The answers and comments (thanks Lóránt Pintér for asking the question):

Tim Delaney:

You can just hg update to the closed branch then do another hg commit and it will automatically reopen.The closed flag is just used to filter out closed branches from hg branches and hg heads unless you use the --closed option – it doesn’t prevent you from using the branches.

Francis Upton:

The commit won’t do anything unless there is something to actually commit, so you may need to make a gratuitous change to make it happen.

lorddev:

A tag is sufficient to make it commitable.

Fuzzing in addition to Unit Tests – via: David Millington G+

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/11

I need to give this link from Jonathan Lange which was shared by David Millington some thought:

Embedded in Academia : How to Fuzz an ADT Implementation.

There they add fuzzers to help testing an ADT: in this case an Abstract Data Type in the form of  a red-black tree.

And then see if it can be added to DUnit and NUnit or MSTest/VSTest in some way.

In the original post by Jonathan Lange, an important remark was made by Eric Castelijn:

… the downside being that having non deterministic tests means having test failures that are hard to repeat

…

When fuzzing multiple or composite values, the chances that you will hit interesting edge cases semi-reliably will drop dramatically, in my experience

One of the things is does is Remove inline styles.

New feeds for Dilbert, Penny Arcade, W.T. Duck

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/09

Now that Yahoo Pipes is stopping, Chris Bernard rewrote his Dilbert/Penny Arcade/W.T.Duck feeds and published source on GitHub: https://github.com/cbenard/comicfeeds/

Feeds

If you use Feedly, and some (or all) pictures don’t show up for the Dilbert feed, then that is because of Feedly caching content. Use a parameterised URL fixes this: http://comicfeeds.chrisbenard.net/view/dilbert/default?something=something

Blast from the past: the digital highway as imagined circa 1995.

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/07

Blast from the past: the digital highway as imagined circa 1995 (thanks Kristian Köhntopp for sharing this a while ago).

Learned a new phrase too (handfeste Datenträger) for something a marching band friend of mine was involved in: before he suddenly passed away at 39 he was a “high bandwidth courier” giving meaning to the phrase by Tanenbaum “Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway” by driving around magnetic tapes and optical media between various locations for about 600+ km a day.

Who could imagine in the age where ISDN at home (@ 64 kibit/s) was fast, that 20 years later you could have fiber (@ 500 Mibit/s) at home both for like EUR 50/month.

Like Steve Streeting posted: having high bandwidth (relative to the time you live in) makes you stop thinking about your internet speed

It allows you to find new usage patterns. Which is good for imagination, work, etc.

–jeroen

PS:

I lied a little. EUR 50/month is for the subscription only. Nowadays that means a permanent connection. In the ISDN days having a permanent connection to an ISP would set you down another EUR 50/month for the ISP, and about EUR 600/month of data usage to the telecom provider.

I did that for a couple of years until cable and ADSL became available. Why? Because it was the fastest way to stay informed (gopher, newsgroups, mailing lists, early forums and web-sites) and get the latest software (mainly over FTP).

Imagine this was only years after not even HCC being able to sustain the costs of a Fidonet transatlantic link, and now two decades later. I’ve posted about Fidonet before, and back-then it was the most affordable way to access information from across the world.

Now less than a century after the first transatlantic phone service was established in 1927, world wide communication is almost free (and there is even internet in space).

PPS:

Swets – where my friend worked for filed for bankruptcy last year. No more high bandwidth couriers…
