Progress report: testing

[marnanel]

Hello, lovely people. Here's a progress report:

Recall that dwim is based on scraping HTML. There's a class called Wrangler, currently just a stub, which does the parsing using Beautiful Soup. I'm currently putting a set of tests together for it. Given these tests, I've written a version of Wrangler in Python for rapid prototyping, which works, so I'm currently porting it to Java.

Hey there! How is dwim going? Looks like there's a new surge of interest in LJ people switching to DW, including some developers, and I figure they might like to help out, maybe you could post about it in dw-dev again....

Good idea! I'd got a bit stuck on account management (I'm making it integrated with the Android accounts system) but it's at least compiling again :)

The scraping is working fine afaict though.

Good to hear from you!

Hey marnanel I'd love it if you would comment in the recent DW news post about dwim! People there are sharing notes about current mobile projects.

I'm wondering if this progressed from here as there's no further updates.

It hasn't, but it might. Some things happened to make my life very busy. Things are calming down now, so I hope to get back to it soon. Sorry for the delay.
