Week 10: Preparing for Integration
This week I spent preparing for integrating the code that Scott and I have after Thanksgiving break. I have decided to move on from the automake build that I was working on. The research process here is ongoing. I have been unable to get a conclusive answer from IRC and am waiting to hear back form the man who wrote the original template for the automake build that I am using. However, we have decided to continue work on the plug-in and prepare for integration.
In order to integrate our code, I have two basic tasks:
- Save the terminal output down to a file called “output.js” (using a system command such as write)
- Run a shell script when a button is clicked. Scott will be writing the script that will then run his code.
I have written the code for the first category, but I am still trying to find a way so that an individual can save the script wherever they would want instead of the hardcoded location that I currently have the file being saved. The second part of the task is much more difficult, although I do hope to make significant headway this week.
I anticipate getting a lot of work done this weekend since I don’t have much to do. I will be focusing on the tasks that I have outlined above. We have not gotten to touch base with Sam this week - we sent him a few messages but he has not responded. Due to the high level of responsiveness he traditionally has, I am assuming that he is busy or away for the Holidays. I am sure that we will touch base after Thanksgiving.
