Hacer software código opensource es desafiante y paulatinamente desgasta a su autor. Todo comienza con pasión y entusiasmo, por supuesto. Si logras repercusión, te enfrentas a una carrera de fondo que muchos terminan abandonando por las demandas constantes de usuarios que, a menudo, no valoran el trabajo ni contribuyen de manera significativa. Por mencionar un caso reciente: Hector Martin. Líder del proyecto Asahi Linux, quien dedicó años a adaptar Linux para los procesadores Apple Silicon, un logro técnico impresionante. Sin embargo, terminó renunciando debido a la presión de usuarios que exigían soporte y mejoras como si fueran clientes pagos.

[lang=es] definitivamente es una buena llamada de atención para promover más donaciones a proyectos opensource. La verdad apoyo menos proyectos de los que ‘debería’, por el valor que me ofrecen.
Una opinión pragmática es que hay la libertad de no pagar, pero también esto nos debería llevar a que tenemos la libertad de SÍ reconocer los proyectos que nos dan valor, por medio de un donativo puntual o constante. Adaptarnos al contexto de lo que estamos ofreciendo.
Mi chava trabaja en Asociaciones Civiles (tipo OSALs/ONGs) y es un reto pedir donativos, por lo que es común pedir ‘Cuotas de recuperación’ pues ayudan a valorar más el servicio, y a que fluya el donativo. Creo que se puede hacer algo así en el código libre, apelando a diferentes motivadores en los usuarios.

Dang it! I ran into import cycles with shared test utilities again. :-( Either I have to copy this function to set up an in-memory test storage across packages or I have to put it in the storage package itself and guard it with a build tag that is only used in tests (otherwise I end up with this function in my production binary as well). I don't like any of the alternatives. :-(

@xuu@txt.sour.is My layout looks like this:
- storage/
- storage.go: defines a
Storage
interface
- sqlite.go: implements the
Storage
interface
- sqlite_test.go: originally had a function to set up a test storage to test the SQLite storage implementation itself:
newRAMStorage(testing.T, $initialData) *Storage
- storage.go: defines a
- controller/
- feeds.go: uses a
Storage
- feeds_test.go: here I wanted to reuse the
newRAMStorage(…)
function
- feeds.go: uses a
I then tried to relocate the newRAMStorage(…)
into a
- teststorage/
- storage.go: moved here as
NewRAMStorage(…)
- storage.go: moved here as
so that I could just reuse it from both
- storage/
- sqlite_test.go: uses
testutils.NewRAMStorage(…)
- sqlite_test.go: uses
- controller/
- feeds_test.go: uses
testutils.NewRamStorage(…)
- feeds_test.go: uses
But that results into an import cycle, because the teststorage
package imports storage
for storage.Storage
and the storage
package imports testutils
for testutils.NewRAMStorage(…)
in its test. I’m just screwed. For now, I duplicated it as newRAMStorage(…)
in controller/feeds_test.go.
I could put NewRAMStorage(…)
in storage/testutils.go, which could be guarded with //go:build testutils
. With go test -tags testutils …
, in storage/sqlite_test.go could just use NewRAMStorage(…)
directly and similarly in controller/feeds_test.go I could call storage.NewRamStorage(…)
. But I don’t know if I would consider this really elegant.
The more I think about it, the more appealing it sounds. Because I could then also use other test-related stuff across packages without introducing other dedicated test packages. Build some assertions, converters, types etc. directly into the same package, maybe even make them methods of types.
If I went that route, I might do the opposite with the build tag and make it something like !prod
instead of testing. Only when building the final binary, I would have to specify the tag to exclude all the non-prod stuff. Hmmm.
