Simple, disposable alarms and timers for macOS.
- Clone this repository.
cd /path/to/Pester
git submodule update --init --force
- Open Pester’s project file (in the
Source
folder) in Xcode and build.
The Xcode and macOS versions I use to build Pester are mentioned at the bottom of the version history in the Read Me — or Xcode builds them into Pester’s Info.plist
— though there should be a reasonable amount of slop. The most common thing to break is Perl dependencies, as macOS tends to include at most 2 versions of Perl. This is one reason why recent versions of Pester no longer support as many macOS versions as they once did (Apple’s free yearly updates, more aggressive deprecation policy, and my vanishing free time don’t help).
Pester’s tests cover some trickier bits such as the exception-y deserialization process and interaction of Date::Manip
with macOS date formats.
- Select Product → Test in Xcode.
Note that testDateCompletionSupportedLocales
is expected to fail for some Spanish and Italian relative dates — these appear to be Date::Manip
issues (patches welcome!)
Open Pester to do.ooutline
in OmniOutliner — it contains many ideas I haven’t had time to implement. If you don't have OmniOutliner, use this HTML version instead.
