Part of what made it worse was that at one point, I accidentally committed a quick edit to master, because I’d forgotten to check out the branch I was trying to edit, and my attempts to undo that mistake just compounded whatever other mistakes already existed. (A couple of branches, including dev, did have to get erased and re-pulled.) I very nearly had to take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, just to start over. Somewhere in the process of bringing both into the master branch, I managed to create a merge conflict that rapidly led to more and more conflicts.
What happened was, I was preparing to roll out new designs for the News section and event pages of An Event Apart, and I had each rollout in its own branch. Preventing Commits to the master Branch in OS X Mojave Published 2 years, 6 months past It was assigned to the Mac and Tools categories.Scripted Server Startup for MDN and WPT was published on Friday, April 16th, 2021.
So that’s my little QoL (Quality of Life) upgrade to make working on MDN and WPT a little easier. I did something very similar for WPT, except in this case the alias reads: alias wpt-server="open -a Terminal.app ~/bin/wpt-serve.bsh"Īnd the script to which it points reads: #!/bin/bashĪs I mentioned before, I chose to do it this way rather than writing a single alias (say, local-server) that would accept arguments ( mdn, wpt, etc.) and fire off scripts accordingly, but that’s also an option and a viable one at that. What’s more, when I’m done working on MDN, I can switch to the window running the server, stop the server with ⌃C (control-C), and the Terminal window closes automatically. Thus, when I type mdn-server in any command prompt, a new Terminal window will open and the shell script mdn-start.bsh will be run the script switches into the needed directory and launches the localhost server using yarn, as per the MDN instructions.
Translated into English, that means “ open the file ~/bin/mdn-start.bsh using the -application Terminal.app”. alias mdn-server="open -a Terminal.app ~/bin/mdn-start.bsh" Then I added an alias to ~/.bashrc which employs a technique I swiped from this Stack Overflow answer. Here’s the script for launching MDN’s localhost: #!/bin/bash Instead of writing a small program that would handle all server startups by parsing shell arguments and what have you, I wrote a couple of very similar shell scripts. Maybe this will be useful to you as well.įirst, I decided to keep things relatively simple. I was getting tired of constantly opening a new Terminal window, cding into the correct place, remembering the exact invocation needed to launch the local server, and on and on, so I decided to make my life slightly easier with a few short scripts and aliases. And while both repositories roll in localhost web server setups so you can preview your edits locally, each has its own.Īs useful as these are, if you ignore the whole “auto-force a browser page reload every time the file is modified in any way whatsoever” thing that I’ve been trying very hard to keep from discouraging me from saving often, each has to be started in its own way, from within their respective repository directories, and it’s generally a lot more convenient to do so in a separate Terminal window. In both cases, the content is stored in large public repositories ( MDN, WPT) and contributors are encouraged to fork the repositories, clone them locally, and push updates via the fork as PRs (Pull Requests). A sizeable chunk of my work at Igalia so far involves editing and updating the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN), and a smaller chunk has me working on the Web Platform Tests (WPT).
Is it possible that the filename extension is misspelled? sdk file extension is often given incorrectly!Īccording to the searches on our site, these misspellings were the most common in the past year: Select a file type in the list and click Change Program.Open Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations.To avoid this error, you need to set the file association correctly.
Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select one from a list of programs that are installed on your computer. To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. When Windows does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message: If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When you double-click a file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. Naturally, other applications may also use the.
