I have a challenge. I need an action list that checks if something is somewhere, and if it is, it needs to be the letters RS. Sounds easy, except I can’t use if, and I can only have fails, not passes. So I get out all hammered out, and now it’s mostly working except when it chokes. Fuck. Now I just worked the second twelve in two days, and get to into work at 9am on a Saturday. It’s not terrible, but it’s kind of a buzzkill.
So I want to go in like gang busters.
Right now, I’m testing for something being somewhere by:
Change the page box to somewhere
Check if the page is empty
Change the page box back
Then, I select the content on that area and see if it’s RS
But I’m getting false negatives all around. He’ll I’m getting weird I’m just gonna freak out errors, which I wasn’t getting before. This tells me that the original is something RS was good, it’s the rest that’s an issue, or, it’s the number of steps. I’ve broken out the check if something is somewhere, but I had to leave before I could see how it ran. So tomorrow morning:
Did it work, if yes, add the other steps to it.
If no, reexamine the something somewhere code.
If that doesn’t work, try breaking out all the steps into individual tasks. The bitch is that each individual file works fine, it’s throwing 84 files at once into the fray, so each test takes about 7 minutes to find out what does or does not work. Doubling down, I’ll need to do a proper stress test which means adding in a lot more.files voting at once.
And, I wonder if there’s blanks in some of my files. That would totes give some false negatives. Not the freakouts, but at least false negatives.
