Use of modern tools, techniques, and resources to automate all aspects of software development. en-us Tue, 24 Apr 2018 22:05:17 -0500 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 22:05:17 -0500 Jekyll v3.0.1 Announcing an update to the article on using Git from PowerShell. Git has been available on Windows systems for more than a few years, but it was generally available only through the creaky Windows CMD window, or through a Cygwin-like Bash window. Now that PowerShell is mature and gaining traction, it would be nice to use Git from a PowerShell window. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-07-22-git-and-powershell-update/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-07-22-git-and-powershell-update/ Sat, 22 Jul 2017 06:00:00 -0500 In which I describe how to make Selenium tests more robust with respect to page loads and browser performance differences. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-03-04-selenium-waiting-for-page-load/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-03-04-selenium-waiting-for-page-load/ Sat, 04 Mar 2017 03:00:00 -0600 In which I describe how to test HTTPS endpoints with Selenium without ignoring certificate errors. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-02-20-selenium-and-tls/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-02-20-selenium-and-tls/ Mon, 20 Feb 2017 03:00:00 -0600 In which I describe how I used Docker Machine from a Windows 10 development system running as an Azure VM. Teaser: neither VirtualBox nor Hyper-V can be used. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-01-21-docker-machine-in-azure/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2017-01-21-docker-machine-in-azure/ Sat, 21 Jan 2017 02:00:00 -0600 In which several TILs discuss the creation and use of a private Certificate Authority, generating certificates for internal HTTPS endpoints, and installing the CA certificate in client trusted stores. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-12-27-til-using-private-ca-for-private-services/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-12-27-til-using-private-ca-for-private-services/ Tue, 27 Dec 2016 02:00:00 -0600 Two TILs about using labels to identify and list Docker images. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-12-04-til-using-labels-to-list-images/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-12-04-til-using-labels-to-list-images/ Sun, 04 Dec 2016 02:00:00 -0600 Latest TIL: Showing total size of directories on Unix systems. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-12-03-til-how-much-data-is-in-a-directory/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-12-03-til-how-much-data-is-in-a-directory/ Sat, 03 Dec 2016 02:00:00 -0600 I introduce my collection of short, useful bits of technical knowledge and guidance: Today I Learned. https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-11-27-today-i-learned/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-11-27-today-i-learned/ Sun, 27 Nov 2016 02:00:00 -0600 My main use case for Docker on my Mac is using containers to test source code that resides on the Mac. That means I need to share the source with the docker container. Sharing host data is a problem whether using either via VirtualBox VMs or the native Docker for Mac. I describe the problem and offer a nice solution ... https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-11-26-still-using-docker-toolbox/ https://www.develves.net/blogs/asd/2016-11-26-still-using-docker-toolbox/ Sat, 26 Nov 2016 02:00:00 -0600 I give the details and some examples of using Go virtual environments.
