Simple, twitter-like, console-based social networking experiment

Building the project

You can create a new executable via the gradlew clean build jacocoTestReport command (or via the provided Idea run config).

This will compile the code, run all the tests, and deploy the executables in the build/distributions/SocialGraph-1.0.0.zip file, containing all the dependencies — with Windows/Linux launchers in the bin folder.

You can view the test results in build/reports/tests/index.html with the coverage statistics in build/reports/jacoco/test/html/index.html (or in the above Coveralls link).
