Ui: Make the ResultDisplay red on command failure #799

yamgent · 2018-01-19T05:44:09Z

Part of #784. Rebased, and added tests to verify the result display.

Propsed commit message:

ResultDisplay shows an appropriate error message when the user made a 
mistake in his command. The color of the error message is the same as 
the color of a successful one.

Using a different color for error messages makes it easier for a user
to realise that it is communicating the mistake made by him.

Let's make the ResultDisplay red on command failure.

Note: For demo purpose, don't merge this to master!

[1/3]: communicates -> passes. That's the term we usually use right? XD

     */
    private void assertBehaviorForFailedCommand() {
+        eventsCollectorRule.eventsCollector.reset();


maybe we should clear after the verifications requiring eventsCollectorRule#eventsCollector have completed i.e. at line 150, for the purpose of segmenting eventsCollector related things together.

[2/3] 1st para: executed by the user succeeded or failed.

3rd para: Let's modify ResultDisplay to display the message in red when the
command execution fails. The message will still display white when
the command execution succeeds. (since you've already mentioned that we are only modifying ResultDisplay to turn red when it fails, so it's clear that we aren't modifying the success case)

can we ternary this? :P

Ternary operators are only meant for assigning values though.

since we have setStyleToIndicateCommandFailure, it seems that this method should be named setStyleToIndicateCommandSuccess?

I guess we can return this simply as a List<String>, instead of an Observable<List>, since we aren't observing it.

I realise that we have inconsistencies in our code base; for ResultDisplayTest, we use private ArrayList<String> defaultStyleOfResultDisplay and then we call defaultStyleOfResultDisplay = new ArrayList<>(resultDisplayHandle.getStyleClass()) to add the style classes. :P

[1/3]: The commit message mentions about ResultDisplay, but there's no changes made in the code concerning ResultDisplay :P Perhaps:

1st para: NewResultAvailableEvent only stores the message of the command execution. It does not store the success status.

2nd para: This is bad cos event subscribers like ResultDisplay may require this information (can phrase better)

3rd para: As part of teaching ResultDisplay to use the success status to update the display accordingly, let's modify NewResultAvailableEvent to store the success status.

Zhiyuan-Amos

[3/3] there should be a 2nd para mentioning that this isn't current being tested :P

damithc · 2018-01-28T04:19:45Z

Just a general comment: after adding tests, this PR is a lot more complicated than before although it is a small UI change. This might overwhelm students. Is it possible to split into even smaller commits so that students can learn one commit at a time. e.g., add functionality first and then add the tests ?

I split up the commits, so now the unit tests are in [v3 2/5] and [v3 4/5] instead.

Looks good now. On a related note, in the dev guide we can order the suggested UI-component improvements in the order of difficulty so that this one (which seems to be the most difficult one) comes last and also leave a comment there to recommend the reader to learn one commit at a time.

NewResultAvailableEvent only stores the message of the command execution. It does not store the success status. Subscribers such as ResultDisplay requires the success status to work. As part of teaching ResultDisplay to update the display according to the success status, let's modify NewResultAvailableEvent to store the success status.

CommandBox stores the success status of command execution in NewResultAvailableEvent. This behavior is not verified by any of the unit tests for CommandBox. Let's update the unit tests in CommandBoxTest to verify that behavior.

The ResultDisplay shows the same color (white) regardless of whether the command executed by the user succeeded or failed. Changing the color of the message when the command execution failed gives a clear visual signal to the user that he made a mistake, and that the message shown is an error, rather than a normal message. Let's modify ResultDisplay to display the message in red when the command execution fails.

ResultDisplay will turn red when command execution fails. This behavior is not verified by any of the unit tests for ResultDisplay. Let's update the unit tests in ResultDisplayTest to verify that behavior.

The ResultDisplay style changes if there is an error in command execution. This behavior is not verified by any system tests. Let's update the system tests to verify that.
