I am close to finishing the book. I really enjoyed seeing different thoughts on what to test and how and why. Especially some of the iterative test creation tactics. I have already used some of what I learned in the book to write better tests at work.
I just ran into a disappointing situation where I was starting to write some code on a side project and wanted to take a look at the book code to see how some test setup was done in the book. So I downloaded the code bundle, installed the dependencies, and it doesn’t compile. Specifically the testing_phoenix tests. I saw MyApp used in several places instead of the actual app name, I fixed a bunch of those but then find other things that don’t compile, then I commented out some of those, and now more things won’t compile.
If there is a GitHub repo I’m happy to create a PR to fix a few of the errors, some are obvious, but I suspect that if there is a GitHub repo, it is already updated and working, but the code bundle on the PragProg book page is just out of date.
I still really like the book and think it is worth every penny even if it had no code bundle, but I would like it even more if the code bundle worked and I could use it for reference.
