Hello there 
Well I'm happy to say I'm recovering steadily and looking forward to working on my GSOC time. Last week, I made a request to get an extension due to poor health. And my gladly, my extension was accepted 

 

WHAT DID I DO THIS WEEK?

This week, I was able to complete and merge a pull request. This means in total I have 4 pull requests merged at the time of writing. This is good improvement but much work still needs to be done. I was able to go 80% of the next draft pull request which entails modifying the existing github action to push a release update everytime a pull request is merged to the master branch. Currently it releases it only as a release artifact but not deployed as a release in the github section. The aim is to get it ready by the end of this week.

WHAT I PLAN THIS WEEK?

My plan this week is to continue on the draft proposal and start planning how to create another actions feature to deploy test coverages as release artifacts in the GH actions. And more to that to continue to write the left over unit tests that are remaining for some modules that don't have any test coverage.

WHAT DID I DO THIS WEEK?

To be honest, this week, I didn't make the needed progress as I would have expected. This week, I opened 3 pull requests, one was a pull request draft for writing unit tests on a certain patch I provided for another pull request and currently now it needs some end to end testing. But the bad part about this was I didn't have lots of experience writing unit tests. So the whole concept was a bit confusing and I have to use lots of advanced functionalities using pytest. This has led me to the thought that i might need to ask for an extension If I can't deliver as required. Secondly I have another daunting task which was to write some unit tests again for another issue related to the overall performance of the web services. And due to the difference in time zones between my mentors, communication is not 100% fluid. It could help if the responses were a bit faster. But I have myself to blamed partly as I have not been up to the gear.

 

WHAT I PLAN DOING THIS WEEK>>>>>

I'm sure it's obvious. I want to improve. I want to be able to get those 3 pull requests ready this week. Else I will be requiring an extension. So I hope to give a positive feedback about the 3 pull requests and merging them. So I can be in sync with the deadline and prepare for the final evaluation.

Oh yes If you're seeing this post, it means I have successfully passed my midterm evaluation and looking forward to the final evaluation

WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK?

Well I passed the evaluation and I got some tips from my mentors on where to improve. I'm grateful they passed me. 

WHAT I PLAN DOING NEXT WEEK?
Continue working on achieving an automatic Github Actions release and write some unit tests for some issues in the REPO. As you noticed this week, I didn't do much but the passing of the evaluation sums it all and I look forward to getting things done a bit faster

Sorry for posting late though
Until then see ya
