| sawyer_ | LeoNerd, I've decided to send the module author a request for comment on this, saying i cannot write my tests because i cannot override the port his client software uses |
| sawyer_ | perhaps he'll allow the user to override the port used |
| * LeoNerd | nod |
| LeoNerd | Sounds good |
| sawyer_ | considering the author though... I'm wary of the reply :P |
| * sawyer_ | mutters ifyouknowwhatimean |
| rindolf | sawyer_: RESOLVED / WONT_FIX / FUCK_YOU ... story of my life. |
| sawyer_ | hahahahaha |
| LeoNerd | RESOLVED / NOT_GONNA_DONT_WANNA |
| sawyer_ | i once closed a ticket at $work accompanied with a yell over my office that said "and if you open that fucker again, I'm breaking a chair over your fucking face" |
| sawyer_ | but... that's just me :) |
| rindolf | sawyer_: well, I once declined a patch on rt.cpan.org for HTML-Widgets-NavMenu, because it: 1. Broke some existing tests. 2. Was doable with some extra work. |
| rindolf | sawyer_: hah. |
| sawyer_ | rindolf, what pissed me off was that he kept reopening a ticket for something that wasn't configured correctly. the problem was, i still haven't received the request to configure it in the first place. |
| rindolf | I hate those tickets that get closed before it was released as a stable release. |
| sawyer_ | it's taking TDD way too far :) |
| rindolf | sawyer_: ah. |
| sawyer_ | it was like "there's a bug." - "what's the bug?" - "that site is not up" - "it's not supposed to be up" - "yes, it is" - "no, it isn't. when they ask to bring it up, I'll bring it up" - "but it's not up" - "IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO FUCKING BE UP SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY" |
