Development Log

2021/01/02

• codebase can be upload only after the end of judgement.
• unit tests --> total: 16, passed: 10, failed: 6

• most of the tests that failed were because of the newline UTF encoding issues.
• couldn't achieve argument parsing without dashes as shown above in the requirements video. ie. had to do todo --add "task1" instead of todo add "task1"
• optionally requires installation of WSL for proper testing; due to limitations of time this step was skipped
• finished remaining features : '--done' and '--report'
• implemented yesterday's 3 features in a different logic with better error handling and reusability
• removed yesterday's full code
