Hi and welcome to team Gilded Rose. As you know, we are a small inn with a prime location in a prominent city ran by a friendly innkeeper named Allison. We also buy and sell only the finest goods. Unfortunately, our goods are constantly degrading in quality as they approach their sell by date. We have a system in place that updates our inventory for us. It was developed by a no-nonsense type named Leeroy, who has moved on to new adventures. Your task is to add the new feature to our system so that we can begin selling a new category of items. First an introduction to our system:
- All items have a SellIn value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the item
- All items have a Quality value which denotes how valuable the item is
- At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item
Pretty simple, right? Well this is where it gets interesting:
- Once the sell by date has passed, Quality degrades twice as fast
- The Quality of an item is never negative
- "Aged Brie" actually increases in Quality the older it gets
- The Quality of an item is never more than 50
- "Sulfuras", being a legendary item, never has to be sold or decreases in Quality
- "Backstage passes", like aged brie, increases in Quality as it's SellIn value approaches; Quality increases by 2 when there are 10 days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but Quality drops to 0 after the concert
We have recently signed a supplier of conjured items. This requires an update to our system:
- "Conjured" items degrade in Quality twice as fast as normal items
Feel free to make any changes to the UpdateQuality method and add any new code as long as everything still works correctly. However, do not alter the Item class or Items property as those belong to the goblin in the corner who will insta-rage and one-shot you as he doesn't believe in shared code ownership (you can make the UpdateQuality method and Items property static if you like, we'll cover for you).
Just for clarification, an item can never have its Quality increase above 50, however "Sulfuras" is a legendary item and as such its Quality is 80 and it never alters.
Fork this repository. Run the configuration "Gilded Rose" to see the
output. The file ThirtyDays.txt contains the expected output. The
run configuration "Acceptance Tests" runs the program and verifies
that the output is the same as that in ThirtyDays.txt. You are now
ready to start refactoring.
Maybe you have done this before. Maybe you know all there is to know about refactoring. Maybe you just like a challenge. Here you go:
- In IntelliJ, go to the plugin preferences and manually install the
provided
run-after-tests.jarplugin; restart IntelliJ - In the settings of the plugin ("Run After Tests"), there are two fields.
If your project is checked out in
<gildedrosedir>, fill in<gildedrosedir>/green.shin the first field, and<gildedrosedir>/red.shin the second one.
What does this do you ask? Simple: every time you run the tests, one of two things happens. If your tests pass, your code is automatically committed. If your tests fail, your working copy is reset, so your changes are lost. Try this and learn from how it influences your behavior!
