The transformation priority list has some different ways you can make the code more generic in order of priority.

I think the way the list works is, if you are able to use the transformation type at the very top of the list to make the tests pass, that is ideal because it is the most generic change you can make to your code

Anyway, he really seems to be onto something with this list. He claims that if you follow this process while writing a sorting algorithm, you end up writing quicksort by accident!

So when you follow this very short circle process of the 3 laws of TDD and the priority list, programming starts to feel, really stupid.

You would expect that maybe you can write algorithms that work, but are they actually good? Are they efficient? Well it turns out they are extremetly efficient. You end up writing better algorithms than if you used a more "intelligent" approach.

@still-dreaming-1 Have you put this all into a Medium article? If not, you should!

(or if one already exists, provide the link! :P)

But by that point, Uncle Bob is getting so prescriptive with this process for writing code that, you could almost teach it to a computer program...

I've seen ol' Bob speak. He's a fascinating individual, and I respect his opinion. I need some time to digest this!

Thank you! Great material that deserves due consideration. That's a wrap for me, but it's been a pleasure! Looking forward to seeing you in this channel regularly!

So basically I want to try to find a way to write a function that accepts an executable contract, whatever parameters were passed in to the function being called, and then attempts various algorithms to fulfill the contract and utilize the transformation priority premise to alter its own algorithm. Once the contract has been fulfilled, it returns, and it doesn't matter if the algorithm used is "complete" or not because the contract was fullfilled.

"Be aware also of installed.json"

Yes! That just bit me yesterday.

Does anyone know precisely which phase of composer update | install checks/recreates the binary symlinks?

I'm curious if there is a means by which to "force" that process to occur without having to do something hacky, like composer --no-scripts update fake-repo-to-force-bin-symlinking

I have big trouble with autloader

How can I test PSR-4 autoloads?

Owen Melbourne

@OwenMelbz

try use the thing your autoloading - if it works, it works, if it doesnt it doesnt :D

FlyLo11

@FlyLo11

hello,

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-0": {
      "App_": "lib/App/"
    }
  }
}

this fails to load class App_Test_MyClass located in lib/App/Test/MyClass.php when doing composer dump-autoload
it works only with composer dump-autoload -o
am I missing something?

it works only when defining it as "":"lib/"

Owen Melbourne

@OwenMelbz

tried psr4 autoloading instead?

dont think psr0 autoloadings been supported for several years now

FlyLo11

@FlyLo11

yeah, i suppose so

Owen Melbourne

@OwenMelbz

might find more docs/articles giving better help with that

FlyLo11

@FlyLo11

from looking at the ClassLoader code, it replaces the underscore with a backslash, so App_ becomes App\, it assumes it's supposed to be a namespace

seems confusing, in docs it provides an example with underscores, i thought that means it expect partial class name, not a namespace

but it was still funny that dump-autoload -o just scans those directories and correctly builds the class map

Owen Melbourne

@OwenMelbz

im not sure myself - have you tried using the classmap or files method?

"autoload": {
    "classmap": ["lib/App/"]
}

FlyLo11

@FlyLo11

no, '":"lib/" solved it. i was curious if it was a bug or smth

i would probably expect a classmap would work too

Im getting an error "Cannot create cache directory /composer/cache/repo/https--packagist.org/, or is not writable....". I've googled the issue and many said it had to do with a ~/.composer file. However I do not have that, I'm on CentOs if that matters.

Ben Johnson

@cbj4074

@JosephLeon Yeah, I can't imagine the user as whom you are running composer has sufficient rights to create a directory at the root of the filesystem.

If you don't have a ~/.composer file, create one. :D

Owen Melbourne

@OwenMelbz

did you ever run as root?

@vishuB

hello
in my composer.json

    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.4.0",
        "yiisoft/yii2": "~2.0.6",
        "yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap": "~2.1.0",
        "yiisoft/yii2-swiftmailer": "~2.0.0",
        "yiisoft/yii2-imagine": "^2.1",
        "unclead/yii2-multiple-input": "~2.0",
        "yiisoft/yii2-jui": "^2.0",

        "kartik-v/yii2-widget-depdrop": "@dev",
        "phpoffice/phpexcel": "^1.8",
        "mpdf/mpdf": "^6.1"
    },

is it possible to update "yiisoft/yii2" as stable version ?

@edwint88

do you mean 2.0.6@stable?
