Timeline
Week 1 and Week 2
In my first week, I researched how I would run Tokodon without network connectivity. I tried to reverse engineer the existing unit-tests, and created a new start file offline-main.cpp, and by the end of the second week, I could start Tokodon without network connectivity with some broken UI.
Week 3 and Week 4
The next two weeks were spent writing appium test for the search functionality. For this, I first had to fix the broken search UI by reversing the already written unit-test for search after that I wrote my first test for testing the GUI of search.
Week 5 and Week 6
In these weeks I, with the help of the maintainers of Tokodon, fixed the breaking pipelines of tokodon-offline and wrote another appium test for testing different types of timeline statuses and also published my 1st blog post.
Plans ahead
In the upcoming weeks, I plan to add more appium tests and fix broken UI elements in tokodon-offline.
