Social Networking Kata

Implement a console-based social networking application (similar to Twitter) satisfying the scenarios below.

It's a classical Kata created by Sandro Mancuso.

I've tweaked it to my liking.

Scenarios

Note: => is the command prompt. Whatever is on the right it typed by the user.

Posting: Users can publish messages to a personal timeline

=> Alice -> I love the weather today
=> Bob -> Damn! We lost!
=> Bob -> Good game though.

Reading: Users can see others' timelines

=> Alice
Alice - I love the weather today
=> Bob
Bob - Good game though.
Bob - Damn! We lost!

Following: Users can subscribe to others' timelines, and view an aggregated list of all subscriptions

=> Charlie -> I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee?
=> Charlie follows Alice
=> Charlie wall
Charlie - I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee?
Alice - I love the weather today
=> Charlie follows Bob
=> Charlie wall
Charlie - I'm in New York today! Anyone wants to have a coffee?
Bob - Good game though.
Bob - Damn! We lost!
Alice - I love the weather today

General requirements

Application must use the console for input and output
User submits commands to the application:
- posting: <user name> -> <message>
- reading: <user name>
- following: <user name> follows <another user>
- wall: <user name> wall
- exit: exit
Don't worry about handling any exceptions or invalid commands.
Assume that the user will always type the correct commands.
Just focus on the sunny day scenarios.

NOTE: All commands start with the username except exit that exits the application.

Acceptance tests

Your will find acceptance tests with Cucumber in src/test/resources. When these tests pass, your job is done. You should not modify them. They also represent a more detailed specification compared to what's described above. Please read and run them to correctly understand the requirements.

Configuration

You need Java 11 to run test and application.
