lib_dev/ was both compiled (elixirc_paths for :dev and :test) and source-loaded
by credo through `requires:` in .credo.exs. Two load paths for one module means
that whenever _build/dev already holds the beam, `mix credo` warned:
warning: redefining module Firehose.Checks.NoConnShadowing
(current version loaded from _build/dev/.../Elixir.Firehose.Checks.NoConnShadowing.beam)
Keep the explicit contract and drop the accidental one: `requires:` is the
documented way for credo to load project checks, so lib_dev/ now leaves
elixirc_paths in every environment. Nothing under test/ referenced the check, so
the :test entry was dead as well, and credo compiles the file on every run
anyway, so the check still gets compiled — just once.
One-time migration for checkouts that already built it:
`mix clean` (or delete _build/dev) to drop the stale beam; until then the old
warning persists. Fresh clones are unaffected.
Measured before choosing: 86.17%, identical via `mix test --cover` and via the
exported sample + `mix test.coverage`, stable across seeds. Floor is the integer
below that, with the rule written next to it: a FLOOR, ratcheted up as
behavior-test yaks land, never lowered (a drop means the change or an exclusion
is wrong).
Exclusions are the modules the suite cannot or should not exercise, each
justified in the config comment: `use`-generated glue (Repo, Mailer, Telemetry,
ErrorHTML/ErrorJSON), the `use FirehoseWeb` macro, production release tasks
(Release), the lib_dev credo check (NoConnShadowing), and test scaffolding
(DataCase, ConnCase, AccountsFixtures, Test.FakeBlog). Everything else counts,
CoreComponents/controllers/LiveViews included.
Wiring matches blogex and the fast/push split: `test.coverage` runs the suite
once with `--cover --export-coverage default` (deleting stale exports first,
since `mix test.coverage` imports every .coverdata it finds and would pool
them), then the `coverage` sensor enforces the floor from that export. The
sensor guards on the export existing because `mix test.coverage` exits 0 when it
finds nothing — a floor check that did not run must not pass.
The microprints git dep now allows phoenix_live_view ~> 1.2, so the
app can take the CVE-2026-64941 fix (open redirect in
validate_local_url!/2, fixed in 1.2.9). No 1.1.x backport existed.
blogex test lock follows to 1.2.12 so the library is tested against
the version the app ships with. mix deps.get now reports zero
security advisories.
also added go to install showboat and rodney for the next steps.
microprints work in qwan tracker, but not in firehose. some of the
rendering is in the project, maybe the library should provide sample
webpages.
- LiveView-based email/password auth via mix phx.gen.auth
- Auth links removed from public navigation (direct URL access only)
- Accounts context with User schema and token management
Production build broke because our custom lint rule was compiled. The
credo linter is not available and not necessary in production.
Solution: create separate directory for dev tools.
Goal: have a personal blog, and try out another point in the 'modular
app design with elixir' space.
Designing OTP systems with elixir had some interesting ideas.
