Monday, September 23, 2024 – Last week, I focused on refining the controller tests, particularly in contexts that typically throw errors when executed all at once, but function correctly when run individually. The root cause was the unavoidable sharing of data within a single test file that contained both query and command API tests. Following Mr. Peter’s advice, I decided to separate the tests by query and command to eliminate this issue.
I also continued enhancing the message queue I was working on. I encountered a significant problem: when the RabbitMQ server is down from the start, starting the application caused a collapse. Initially, I thought this behavior was acceptable, but Mr. Peter pointed out that since RabbitMQ is implemented on the backend, it shouldn’t impact the user interface unless an API call triggers it. Upon further investigation, I found that several frontend services also utilized the message queue service, which contributed to the issue.
To address this, I extracted the used services into a new service that integrates the message queue functionality. By the end of the week, I presented my progress to Mr. Peter, and he noted that several aspects of the message queue service still needed enhancements, which I plan to tackle next week.
