The numbers are handy for jumping between lines without counting them.
To compile the current file by pressing F5, the file must be in this format: "number"-"name".c (e.g., 0-putchar.c), and there should be a test file usually named "number"-main.c (e.g., 0-main.c). If the test file doesn't exist, use the compile command instead.
Press F2 in Vim instead of leaving it to run "betty or pycodestyle or shellcheck file_name.c" separately.
Check out this demonstration. PS : It does not work on python (yet)
Whitespace is highlighted in red.
To use this script, first configure it by replacing the info as shown:
CD to ALX-Time-Saver and launch the script with ./read_maker.py. Enter the repo name, project's subdirectory, and make sure everything you need is pushed to GitHub. The script generates markdown for your README.md.
Clicking on a file opens it (on GitHub).
Run the script with mkfiles, and the new files will be in your chosen location.
Demonstration:
Execute the setall command in the sequence of the main function file, followed by the header file and the test cases. Afterward, use the testall command, specifying the main function files and the additional function files to initiate the test suite.
Points to Remember:
- It's unnecessary to employ the
setallcommand again when reusing the test suite. - To update the test cases, reset the test suite, maintaining the same order of arguments to ensure the corresponding tests are updated.
- The main function should always be the first argument in the
testallcommand; otherwise, it won't function correctly. - The additional fucntion files are required during compilation.
- You can have multiple test suites.
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| setall main_function.c header.h test1.c testX.c ... | Sets the test suite for the main_function.c |
| testall main_function.c secondary_function.c more_functions.c ... | Runs the test suite for the main_function.c |
