Day 95

Starting today, I picked up a new story around a speclj bug where it doesn’t see file changes for src files in a directory that contains a space character.

I found out what the bug is, the url for files gets encoded when passed through the java File object. The problem is the library Fresh is not decoding that url before looking for the file path in the src directory. This is leading to it not finding the file at all, therefore it does not update anything on the speclj vigilant runner output.

After I zoned it down to the library, I pulled from GitHub and started looking through. Evidently I found the bug location after not a lot of time and managed to come up with a decent fix that made the bug work okay. I wanted to confirm that my changes were working as intended, so I spent some time creating a local jar from Fresh that I put into my local version of speclj which I packaged into another local jar to use on an example project to confirm my suspicions. After some fiddling everything worked great! Tomorrow I’ll get this library updated and update Speclj, so I can mark this story as complete!
