Is this useful so far? I can easily add some sorting.

acln0

Looks nice. I'd like to request a few minor adjustments before we merge, though.

Besides the comments in the review, please squash the PR to one commit too.

Thanks.

main.go

+	if err != nil {
+		return -1, fmt.Errorf("problem loading %s: %v", req.URL, err)
+	}
+	if resp.Body != nil {


The net/http documentation says "The http Client and Transport guarantee that Body is always non-nil, even on responses without a body or responses with a zero-length body."

I don't think we need this if statement.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T18:54:39Z

main.go

+
+	doc, err := html.Parse(resp.Body)
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)


Let's just return the error here. No need to panic.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T18:55:04Z

main.go

+func scrapeGodocImports(importPath string) (int, error) {
+	req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://godoc.org/"+importPath, nil)
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)


Return -1, err please, instead of panicking.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T18:56:26Z

main.go

+		},
+	})
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)


Let's log err to standard error and bail out more gracefully than this. Avoid panic please.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T18:58:44Z

main.go

+	}
+}
+
+func createGithubClient(ctx context.Context) *github.Client {


I think this function should return an error. Currently, it prints a message to standard error if the github token isn't available, but then it continues creating the client regardless.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T18:59:33Z

main.go

+var (
+	ctx = context.Background()
+
+	ghClient = createGithubClient(ctx)


Move this inside of main, please, and let's handle the error it will return more gracefully, by bailing out, instead of continuing.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T19:00:48Z

main.go

+)
+
+var (
+	ctx = context.Background()


I think we should avoid this. For now, let's pass context.Background() to all things that need it, explicitly.

If the context we use changes in the future, it'll be easier to spot at a glance and adjust.

acln0 · 2018-09-12T19:04:19Z

Oh, something else too. I only just now noticed that this vendors dependencies, but it is using modules as well. Isn't that strange? I thought modules and vendoring were incompatible.

adamdecaf · 2018-09-12T21:19:07Z

@acln0 Thanks for the review. I dropped vendor/, but it's still used by go build. This script requires the internet already.

adamdecaf · 2018-09-12T21:47:59Z

There are a lot of -1's returned still, so I should probably look into that. I hope we can just make that refresh call and retry.

acln0 · 2018-09-13T08:45:18Z

Thanks. This looks pretty good now.

I guess the next question is if we want to have a main.go in the repository root, or if we should move it to cmd/something.

Ping @theckman for review and further thoughts.

theckman

If the option is between using modules and vendoring, I'd prefer we do what we need to have a functioning vendor directory. I'd like to make sure the binary is buildable no matter the state of any of its dependencies.

Can you please update this PR to add a vendor directory that ensures the script will build?

theckman · 2018-09-15T21:50:00Z

+package main


Let's make this cmd/finder/main.go or something similar.

Maybe add a // import "github.com/gofrs/help-requests/cmd/finder" comment here too?

Perhaps a package-level comment would be nice too, like here https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/cmd/stringer/stringer.go

Issue: gofrs#14

adamdecaf · 2018-09-17T15:43:29Z

Added vendor/ back. Updated the script a bit. There are still a lot of -1 godoc counts coming back. I think we should try a manual refresh on godoc.org to grab their count. Thoughts?

Edit: I updated the example: #29 (comment)

Are you sure you want to change the base?
