Turns out there's an angular cache folder just silently lurking in the dark making my life miserable.

@jestdotty unfortunately only allowed in a very restricted kind of usage, no in-editor AI for now, whole codebase not allowed as context.

@cafecortado yup, worked a lot with regex, just used the caveman version of that tool, when in fact a way more advanced version existed I didn't know about.

@Lensflare was not a traditional refactoring job, just a whole bunch of css to edit.

@BordedDev not necessarily. It might connect to a db, it might also connect to a NAS. Then again it might use a windows directory, that is then again mounted onto a linux server. It's all over the place.

@BordedDev let me correct this after better understanding: people know what it does since the code is available. But nobody knows which other systems are dependent on this. Its purpose is apparently just about moving files from a to b.

@BordedDev it seems like the way it was setup with schemas was somehow wrong. Even as an mvp setup it didn't work, so I had to tinker around a lot. Many possibilities to set up, only a few actually working, despite the suggestions. But it's solved.

@Hazarth i was actually paranoid for a second that all the drop commands would be executed for real. 😅

@retoor it's an h2 that only exists while testing.

@BordedDev what do you mean by namespace?

@Lensflare a good testing strategy still needs to be found, as it's very often about simple data retrieval and working with said data.

@retoor that happened often enough, which disrupted the flow of the showcase.

Reminds me of the time I debugged a program across 8 different editor tabs with their code visible on 2 different screens to follow the logic. Not as impressive as your breakpoints. Let me guess, you forgot some of them later and they paused the program when you didn't expect anymore while debugging smth else?

@djsumdog never thought about that problem, understandable. In this case it's a dev's annoyance but competition's blessing.

@TrayKnots maybe it's lost?
Padding was part of the problem, and my SQL skills. Thought I could save time with the help of AI. Doing it "quick and easy" using the db itself. "How hard can this be?" Was one way to achieve it. Bad assumption when SQL is not the tool you use regularly.

@electrineer what do you mean?

@magicMirror rookie numbers

@lungdart I couldn't get it to work regardless of the syntax. Fuck it, I've used a workaround. But thanks to the inventor for apologizing.

@Lensflare I know it looks stupid, but /// worked, at least when it was local file system. Java supposedly handles \\ internally?
Oh yeah, backslashes of course are special, so they should be escaped. Yeah, that didn't work out...

Or when they lay between your feet 😅

The auth provider had a bug. Had to change the version to one with the least amount of impact on the codebase.

Apparently I'm too dumb to use the library. Haven't found an explanation how to access a route's custom data in the router, when using the code provided for the auth guard. It keeps trying to read the data property from the current route "a", before switching to the desired one "b", even if none provided for a. 😪

@kobenz wow?

@netikras the reset was their solution

@netikras I don't know. An updated faulty config of smth? Could be anything 🤷
Not that old. Second last gen of the router provided by my ISP.

@kobenz angular-auth-oidc-client

Ok so it works again after a reset. Smth interesting: the router saved its settings and restored them. The SSID was supposed to be restored too. The devices connected to it told a different story, the SSID was a different one. But it worked, LAN, wifi, VPN. Another restart and the name also changed ... and the problem returned ... ??
Another reset, this time no settings restored, default SSID. Now it's all ok.
I don't know wtf happened but it's solved. 😪

@netikras yup, mobile network turned off.
I can't figure out a pattern. My phone doesn't seem to have problems.
Then again, work laptop suddenly showed a confirmation dialog for a vpn connection with an unknown fingerprint(?). This only appeared before when I used the hotspot.

@Nanos I used macrium free. I guess it was just really bad luck.

@spongessuck static methods don't exist. The codebase wasn't built with testing in mind.
I often don't know whether to mock some code I cannot control or to parameterize it.
