Hacktoberfest - Issue#3 PR#3

It's been already 3rd week of October and this is mean that Hacktoberfest is going to an end just in 11 days. More PR and more lines of coding, different projects and different problems all this is very familiar to anybody who are in Open Source and specially for the one who participate in Hacktoberfest.

In Lab 3 the main task is same as in Lab 1 and Lab 2 it's to find an issue, fix it and create Pull Request. As other times this could not go smoothly. My Lab 2 was base on the contribution to the WordPress Gutenberg project. In Lab 3 I've decided to keep working on the same project but I picked different issue.

What was the issue about.

To use the proper terms in code to match the Designer Handbook of Gutenberg project. In the project there are terms "inspector" and "sidebar" which have same meaning. The task was to change name "inspector" to "sidebar". Only JS itself contains 67 files that has name "inspector".


I commented on this issue to provide some clarifications but till now I did not get any respond. I went through this issue many times, read referenced issue and fix and also study the Designer Handbook. All together this process took me 2 days. In the end I find the solution to this issue. I haven't change all the files that have name "inspector" but just in 2 that are related to each other







The reason why I haven't change them all is because there are many very detailed work special when I will have to reference files I also not sure about changing the file names. That's why I worked only on 2 files and create a Pull Request for the work I have done. Now I'm waiting for the respond and if my thinking is correct and will be approved by the member of the project I will work on correcting all other files.

Outcome:

- I have learned that in order to fix issue I have to to study not just issue itself but also any related documents that referenced in that issue.
- It is better to work on the project that already set up on the local machine because it saves time and this time can be dedicated to work on the issue itself instead of settings.

Release 0.6

Going back to Telescope. Between release 0.5 and 0.6 I was working on the Telescope project. I was assign to few issues during the 2 weeks period.  My first issue was to add test to make sure our application starts. This issue reference to the page where possibly I can look for solution. Ideally issue -363 should solve: a) make sure that our app is working b) allowed to hit correct root. After reading examples and documentation I have learned that there is 'start-serve-and-test' npm package that starts server, waits for URL, then runs test command; when tests end, shuts down server.  How to use this package: Install this package  npm i  start-server-and-test Add command to the script. In my case Telescope already has command to start server and command for the tests. This way I just had to combine both commands into one that I named "CI" and add localhost.  Indeed this package did not solve the intention  of the issue I was working on. This packa

Back on Track or working on the Table Reservation Application

Image
Table Reservation Application is an application with many features. One of the most important features is to reserve a table online and send the form to the restaurant. All summer me and my other two teammates try to accomplish many milestones of this project but due to heavy loads from other subject not everything was implemented. Two months I could not sleep without writing lines of code in order to complete this project. In the end this is how many lines of code I wrote and delete.  Even it is looks like a lot of line of code in the end of the day many features were left out. It hurts me to see that such a beautiful idea was not implemented till the end. Beside that, contributing to the project help me to learn many new things and be on top of the technologies. For example I was able to learn angular material UI. This application was desighn for PRJ666 course in order to graduate from Seneca college with Computer Programming and Analysis diploma. This mean that if I decide to have d
