A poor man’s multiple-repository build system Refactoring feature branches across multiple repositories A common use case when working with multiple, dependent repositories is to use git flow to create multiple feature branches: kivakit [feature/simplify-log-api] kivakit-extensions [feature/simplify-log-api] If project(s) in kivakit-extensions here depend on projects in kivakit, refactoring code in kivakit can propagate code changes to kivakit-extensions. Then both feature branches ...

KivaKit applications can be configured using the settings api, but there is an easier way to configure an application for deployment built right into Application. By default, Application looks for the switch -deployment=[deployment-name]. If the switch is present and deployment settings can be found, KivaKit will load all of the settings objects in the named deployment into the global settings ...

In this post we will explore the transition from a classic layered software architecture to a hexagonal architecture. The hexagonal architecture (also called ports and adapters architecture) is a design pattern to create loosely coupled application components. This post was inspired by a German article from Silas Graffy called Von Schichten zu Ringen – Hexagonale Architekturen erklärt. Classic layers Layering ...

In the agile environment, developers need to run relevant cross-browser tests to push any front-end changes quickly. While small projects use manual testing, larger projects need automation because of the increasing number of web browsers. How is this done using Selenium WebDriver and Python? Selenium is one of the most popular open-source web automation testing tools available today. Python on ...

Unfortunately, Optional has been abused and one type of abuse has been overuse. I occasionally have run across code that makes use of Optional when there is no clear advantage over using null directly. A red flag that ...

Most of us writers start with bad advice, to write “formally.” We’re not supposed to talk to the reader. Or, we’re supposed to avoid stories. Worse, we’re supposed to use passive voice. That leads us to write like this: <A person> will be missed.Your work is appreciated.This work needs to be undertaken. Here’s what’s common in all of those sentences: ...

In Java 17 (released only a few days ago), Pattern Matching for switch has been introduced as a preview language feature, which allows case labels with patterns rather than just constants. Here is an example showing how you can match on type patterns: public static String typedPatternMatching(Object o) { return switch(o) { case null -> "I am null"; case String ...
