I don't TDD. Writing Pragmatic Tests With Java.

[@afmarsal]

Thanks for the video! Probably this is known already: when pasting code I noticed the manual move of cursor to go to next error. I did that too until I learnt about IntelliJ's "Select Next Problem" (F2 on macOS) that loops through the issues. "F2" and "Option+Enter" has become my favourite combo to fix file issues quickly.

[@MarcoCodes]

Yup, F2 is a great shortcut that I unfortunately use far too seldomly. Thanks for mentioning it!

[@andreyvolkov563]

Thank you!

[@clutchmadness]

As a recent compsci graduate whose looking to learn more about how to use Java outside of school, this video series and a lot of videos on your channel are the perfect learning tool. They have the perfect balance of "not being too easy or overly complex". Thank you so much for taking the time to make them.

Thanks for the feedback!

[@naveengupta6878]

thanks marco ! Next episode must be super fun. will try to send pull request if I could get enough time.

[@philliplima4999]

Thanks for the video Marco. Its helping a lot. Waiting for the next.

[@MarcoCodes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@themaskedvideo-794]

Thanks Marco I'm following you from Egypt and I liked your way of teaching please keep it up!

[@MarcoCodes]

Thank you! Will do!

[@mercury801115]

very pragmatic, thanks for your work, looking forward to next video.

Hi Marco, for testing for imagemagick versions, could you have leveraged testcontainers and have a small container up for imagemagic 6 and 7 (so two tests perhaps to test if the imagemagick is installed properly?)

[@MarcoCodes]

Yup, that would work! Though if I remember correctly (could be wrong), there was no imagemagick 6 image on DockerHub, so you'd have to build one/host it yourself.

[@maxjung6845]

what do you think about adding a single first line to thumb-creation test Assumptions.assumeTrue(imageMagickIsInstalled(), "Image Magick is not installed."); instead of the custom annotation approach?

[@MarcoCodes]

Would work just as well for now. Once the number of tests/classes increases, I would switch to the annotation at some point.

[@salat_32]

I recently started thinking about writing tests for my application, but it heavily depends on external api (several bot api's for different messagers, game api), so it would be very cool if you talked about testing stuff like that

[@MarcoCodes]

Would you mind adding some more info? What specifically is your app doing? Any specific testing challenges so far? I'll then see what I can do

[@salat_32]

@@MarcoCodes the main difficulty is that after I get a use input through bot api callback, I external api to collect data about specified user, so I was thinking if I should just mock and provide the same data everytime for the test cases, or should I call an actual api (probably shouldnt)

[@PratikSinghal]

This is a better way to learn things. Thanks a lot.

[@marcinkunert]

Nice video. To which branch should be the PRs sent to?

[@MarcoCodes]

Episode-2. If you are the first to send in a pull request, I'll have to think of a special thank you

[@Windestroy1]

Have you thought about doing something with Vaadin in the future?

[@MarcoCodes]

Not really. Anything specific you'd like to see?

[@matheusmarabesi]

nice video! but I guess that "pragmatic" in that case has a different meaning from what the "the pragmatic programmer" suggests. If you will keep this series, rather than submitting a PR I would love to join you and do some pairing session! Anyways keep it up 👏

[@MarcoCodes]

Hey Marabesi, thanks for the feedback! Yes, new videos in this series will air (hopefully) soon :) Let's see what we can do with a pairing session in the future. What is the "pragmatic programmer" context for you when it comes to testing?

[@mdanny42]

Hi Marco and thanks for your amazing content! I've been recently exploring TDD but was struggling (still) with the pragmatic steps on how do you actually set up the infrastructure for enabling the tests/implementation cycle and how do you decide on the trade-offs you had mentioned. This series exactly fills in this gap :) Also, in my case I couldn't immediately detect which is the 3rd part of this series, so here I provide the link to the next one (in case anyone else can't find it easily): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKXTf5aan8-qmqM
