Hello everyone, here’s my eighth report for the OL3-Google-Maps project.
Link to the library: https://github.com/mapgears/ol3-google-maps

What did you get done this week?
-
I integrated the project with Travis CI. Now, every new commit and new
pull request will be automatically linted and built to look for errors.
-
I added support for writing and running tests. They are ran
automatically with Travis CI as well. I used Mocha and Chai for this.
-
I wrote a few tests. This took longer than expected, as I had never
touched unit tests before. A lot of the work I’ve done today turned out to
be wrong, as I learned testing private methods and variables was bad
practice after I had written the tests. However, I understand better now
what the tests are actually for. This will be very useful in the future.
What do you plan on doing next week?
-
I will work on an issue with the library: to synchronize OpenLayers
layers with GoogleMaps layers, we make the OpenLayers layers invisible, but
requests are still sent to the server for new tiles. This is by design in
OL3, so that when the layer is made visible again, the map is already
loaded. However, we want to disable that for the library. I sent a message
on the mailing list asking for potential solutions, but no-one was able to
bring one. I will work on finding one next week.
Are you blocked on anything?
-
Nope.
Have a nice week-end!
