closes issue #23

[quozl]

Thanks. Can you tell me why Gruntfile.js and README.md differ between 4f905c7 and the sugar-web repository? Is a change needed to sugar-web repository?

@quozl this changes were made in updated package of suger-web itself

[quozl]

That's not what I see when I look at sugar-web.

• https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-web
• https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-web/blob/master/Gruntfile.js (updated ten years ago)

@quozl i have checked this Gruntfile.js in this repo was 11 years old that means these file was changed in sugar web as they are updated 10 year ago and content of these file are same with that on sugar-web repo (Readme.md and Gruntfile.js)

[quozl]

Interesting, but my method was different.

cd /tmp
git clone [email protected]:sugarlabs/connect-the-dots-activity.git
cd connect-the-dots-activity
git fetch origin pull/24/head
git checkout -b pr24-review 4f905c7

cd /tmp
git clone [email protected]:sugarlabs/sugar-web.git

diff -u sugar-web/Gruntfile.js \
    connect-the-dots-activity/lib/sugar-web/Gruntfile.js

Result is different files; that's what I'm expecting you to explain; which file is right, and if it is the file in this repository, can you please ensure that the file in the other repository is updated? Repeat the analysis for README.md.

@quozl i used volo to update sugar-web
volo add -f sugarlabs/sugar-web lib/sugar-web
Sir readme is the same but for gruntfile.js the only difference is with define(function (require, exports, module) {};
This line wraps the entire Gruntfile.js in a define function, suggesting the file has been modularized to be compatible with an AMD loader like RequireJS. I think addition using volo automatically made it compatible for integration with AMD/RequireJS, which might be necessary for this activity's structure. I think this version is better suitable for this activity

[quozl]

Is the file necessary for run-time?

[ravjot07]

No, the Gruntfile.js file is not necessary for runtime. It is a build and development tool configuration file, and its primary purpose is to automate tasks during development.

[quozl]

Thanks. Is the file necessary for development or is it automatically regenerated?

[ravjot07]

Is the file necessary for development or is it automatically regenerated?

Its necessary for development in most cases unless explicitly replaced by another build tool or process. However, it is not automatically regenerated unless there is a script or tool in place to recreate it.

[quozl]

Thanks. I've read Grunt on Wikipedia. Gruntfile.js is a configuration file for software tools that are external to this repository. It doesn't seem necessary for development unless those tools are used. I don't think we should retain such files unless there is a reason to do so. Should the Gruntfile.js in sugar-web repository be changed or removed? It is different, as mentioned. I've looked at other Gruntfile.js in sugarlabs and the function header is not present. There are so few such files. So why do you want the file and header present? I'm asking you because you added them to commit.

i thought it might be better it might be better to have this file with function header. Should i remove it in next commit ?

[quozl]

Why might it be better?

[ravjot07]

Why might it be better?

generally its better to have this file because it saves time, provides consistency, and ensures that tasks crucial to the project (e.g., building, testing, linting) are performed correctly and efficiently. But in this activity with current scope of this project we can remove this also

@quozl whats your take on this file should we remove this file or keep this sir? i will add a other commit accordingly

[quozl]

Sorry, I don't know. I'm not convinced the file should be included, because

• it is new and we have not needed it before,
• it is not required at run-time, and we usually want to bundle as little as possible in the .xo file that is downloaded,
• it can be regenerated,
• other Sugar activities do not have the file,
• Sugarizer has only one such file, not per activity.
