Monday, August 5, 2024 – After last week’s failed migration attempt, I identified the root cause as a mismatch between the data structure of the migration and the current table. After several attempts to resolve the issue, I decided to remove the problematic table entirely and recreate it using the existing SQL migration files.
Moving on to my next task, I needed to debug an issue where data generation was failing, causing the progress bar to close automatically without any visible error. This behavior led to errors going unnoticed. To address this, I added more robust error handling and logging to ensure that any errors would be flagged to the user. However, even after implementing these measures, the source of the error remained unclear. At this point, Mr. Peter suggested using stack traces for complex functions and demonstrated how to apply them effectively. With stack trace error handling, we could pinpoint the exact line where the error was thrown, making troubleshooting much easier.
Later in the week, Mr. Peter assigned me to research message queues and identify the best platform for our upcoming tasks. After exploring various options, I became particularly interested in RabbitMQ and delved into its documentation to learn more about this service.
