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.

Need a palate cleanser after the past weeks where I worked furiously on storage backends for #GoActivityPub fixing tests and building a conformance suite.

I think I'll try my hand at a static site generator. It would also be part of #NLNet sponsored work, but only tangentially so, as it would form the base for generating the documentation wiki for the library.

#activitypub #dev

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.

Point of contact is on this email (after you "deobfuscate" it): goap＠federated·id

Well, after an initial failure, my #NLNet grant application for #GoActivityPub has been accepted under the NGI0 Commons Fund. 💪

This means that for the next months my main focus will be fully on making #ActivityPub in the #Go programming language easier for other developers.

If you're one of them, reach out, I want to know what you struggle with and how I can help with that.

Writing documentation was good for #GoActivityPub.

It gives me the opportunity to go through some user scenarios for the tools I'm documenting and make sure that they work the way I'm describing.

I've fixed a couple of issues in this way these past days.
