How to organize and avoid concurrency problems in big projects, splitted in multiple jobs and chained to each other in Hudson?
If you have a lengthy process, it will be a good practice to split it in multiple tasks, having each calling the next one, like in the (somewhat simplified) image on the left.
Problem number one: How to avoid Clean and Build (for instance) running at the same time?
As (almost) always, “you have a plugin for that” in Hudson. This time is Locks and Latches, which will let you create a lock, shared by all the jobs you want. Only the job that has the lock, will be executed.
So far, so good, but, where is the problem?

Hi, here are all the the links collected from #agilespain2010 posted in Twitter after applying this regex. ^(.*)(http://\S+)(.*)$ plus ordering + plus filtering within a small script.

Hi!, this a clean and simple sample test of a web app using Open ID login in Google App Engine + Django.
http://bitbucket.org/deccico/djangoappengine-openid-sample
This application combines with slight modifications, the following projects:
- Djangoappengine: http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine
- Django-nonrel http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/django-nonrel – Changes to Text fields to Chars, due to lack of filtering support in the firsts
- OpenID integration: https://launchpad.net/django-openid-auth – Small change in the login view template, in order to work with standard Cross site forgery protection
- Python OpenID library: http://github.com/openid/python-openid
Just remember to add {% csrf_token %} within the login form of your own view.
enjoy!
Hi, below there is a little snippet that calculates the closest point to a segment. It is written in C++ but could be easily translated to any other language. Disclaimer: given its age, it use hungarian notation, and some names are in spanish, but it was deeply tested and works ok.

Back in time, I had to make a simple html editor. It was very easy, by using a simple TCppWebBrowser (wb) and the IHTMLDocument2 interface. You will also need a TMemo (memo1) control. Here is the source code, hope it helps someone

The problem: You match a string with your regex, but you need to replace just a portion of it. How could we replace it?
The trick is simple, put the text you want to replace within “()” which means “group” in regex language. If the regex worked, you could replace just that portion by using Python match information, like in this example:
#the first group contains the expression we want to replace
pat = "word1\s(.*)\sword2"
test = "word1 will never be a word2"
repl = "replace"
import re
m = re.search(pat,test)
if m and m.groups() > 0:
line = test[0:m.start(1)] + repl + test[m.end(1):len(test)]
print line
else:
print "the pattern didn't capture any text"
This will print: ‘word1 will never be a word2‘
The group to be replaced could be located in any position of the string.
Sometimes you got the right people, a good language and frameworks, but working in a project is a mess and nobody knows what will happen when you update the code and try to compile or running any functionality.
When you are working in a team with big and complex systems, trying to accomplish deadlines there are certain issues that you have to avoid. Tired of facing the same problems, some years ago I started researching about Continuous Integration as the key to enter into a new level of quality. Read more…
