I forgot how tedious it is to chase code coverage when writing tests.

However this was part of the reason that made me include the "boring" parts of building a robust library into the goals set for the #nlnet grant.

So after a couple of days of work I finally got the first of the storage backends for the #GoActivityPub library go past 80% test coverage.

I hope I can reuse some of the test logic in the other backends, as they need to perform identically.

In Go, which type would be best to define a number with up to two decimals, like 99.5 or 99.75?

float32 or float64?

The value can never be negative and it can never be more than 100.

#golang #dev #go

Did any #Go developers need code to get a zero value of a struct but without knowing the layout of the struct itself?

The only thing I could come up with was:

func zero[T any](v T) T {
z := &v
zz := reflect.ValueOf(z).Elem()
zz.Set(reflect.Zero(reflect.TypeOf(v)))
return *z
}

And see here an example of usage: https://go.dev/play/p/Aqzc_nRzOcP

I needed it in order to get zero copies of random structs so I could test that some marshal/unmarshal functionality is a bijection.

Is this a decent way to do it? Are there alternatives?

The more I look at things written in #Rust, the more I want to write that on a daily basis.

I know the language and eco-system is far from perfect, I've been hurt too and maybe this is even stockholm syndrome speaking lol, but damn there is so many cool projects written in Rust.

I switched full time to #Go because of readability, but mostly for the same reason as I state above, lots of cool projects.

On this topic, calling all #Go #developers interested in lending a hand.

I have two major goals for increasing the unit-test coverage in the individual packages that #GoActivityPub is comprised of.

These are tasks that are very accessible even for people new to the #ActivityPub spec and I would prefer to support new developers that want to give it a try than wait until I have time to do them myself.

The only requirement I have is that if you want to help, you already have some public Go projects that I can have a look at.

Olu

Olu is a JSON document store with automatic graph relationship tracking. When documents reference each other, the graph layer maintains edges automatically. RESTful API, dual storage backends, basic graph queries. Written in Go.
Core CRUD and graph operations work. About half the planned API is implemented. Still early but functional for prototyping.
