OK that took the whole morning, mostly getting the ingress controller to correctly serve #tls (I didn't realise that in addition to setting the host names and cert secret, I also needed to ensure that each named server has an explicit rules block otherwise nginx uses the catch-all rules and doesn't apply TLS).

So now, when I push my #gnustepweb app to main, #woodpeckerCI builds and pushes to #quayio and #argoCD pulls and deploys the app in my prod cluster.

this all now works*! After about an hour of messing with YAML files I have a #gnustep webobjects app deployed to #k8s with an end-to-end pipeline. Using nginx ingress controller to load-balance instead of apache2 mod_gsw.

*still needs a domain name and TLS. I'm using the app's default action as the health endpoint, so I'll add a direct action that returns 204 to make life easier on the app.

Byrhtnoth's response was, and I'm paraphrasing #jrrtolkien's translation here, "bite me".

Adopting #xcodecloud for AppScript appears to require that I create an App Store record for my test harness app. That's…bizarre. Is that what folks are doing?

It’s a category error to think of Spec-Driven Development as an anti-agile “Big Design Up Front” approach. It’s using all your knowledge of what you need from your code, at the moment where you type in the code. Just you don’t actually type in the code. #sdd #agile #bduf
