# Check Postgres Version Running In Docker Container
|
||||
|
||||
I have a docker container that I'm using to run a PostgreSQL development
|
||||
database on my local machine. It was a while ago when I set it up, so I can't
|
||||
remember specifically which major version of PostgreSQL I am using.
|
||||
|
||||
I use `docker ps` to list the names of each container.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ docker ps --format "{{.Names}}"
|
||||
still-postgres-1
|
||||
better_reads-postgres-1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I grab the one I am interested in. In this case, that is `still-postgres-1`.
|
||||
|
||||
Then I can execute a `select version()` statement with `psql` against the
|
||||
container with that name like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ docker exec still-postgres-1 psql -U postgres -c "select version()";
|
||||
version
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
||||
(1 row)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

And there I have it. I'm running Postgres v16 in this container.

# Download A Google Doc As Specific Format
|
||||
|
||||
I was recently given a public Google Doc URL and I was curious if I could
|
||||
download it from the command line. I didn't want to have to install special CLI
|
||||
though. I was hoping to use something like `curl`.
|
||||
|
||||
A brief chat with Claude and I learned that not only can I use `curl`, but I
|
||||
can specify the format in the _export_ URL.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ export GOOGLE_DOC_URL="https://docs.google.com/document/d/157rMgHeBf76T9TZnUjtrUyyS2XPwG0tObr-OjYNfMaI"
|

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
$ ls doc.pdf
|
||||
doc.pdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I append `/export` and then include the `?format=pdf` query param to specify
|
||||
that I want the document to be exported in PDF format. With the `-o` flag I can
|
||||
specify the name and extension of the output file.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a handy on its own, but noticing that Google Docs supports other export
|
||||
formats, I thought it would be useful to go back-and-forth with Claude to
|
||||
sketch out a script that can do this and prompt me (with `fzf`) for the file
|
||||
type -- [here is the gist for
|
||||
`gdoc-download`](https://gist.github.com/jbranchaud/cf3d2028107a1bd8484eed7cca0fcdab).

# Create Umbrella Task For All Test Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
When I was first sketching out the [`mise`
|
||||
tasks](https://mise.jdx.dev/tasks/running-tasks.html) for a Rails app, I added
|
||||
the following two tasks. One is for running all the `rspec` tests. The Other is
|
||||
for running all the `vitest` (JavaScript) tests.
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tasks."test:rspec"]
|
||||
run = "unbuffer bundle exec rspec"
|
||||
description = "Run RSpec tests"
|
||||
depends = ["bundle-install"]
|
||||
|
||||
[tasks."test:vitest"]
|
||||
run = "unbuffer yarn test run"
|
||||
description = "Run Vitest tests"
|
||||
depends = ["node-install"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I didn't want to have to invoked both of this individually every time I wanted
|
||||
to run the full suite. So I added a `test:all` task to do it all.
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tasks."test:all"]
|
||||
description = "Run all tests (RSpec and Vitest)"
|
||||
run = [
|
||||
"unbuffer bundle exec rspec",
|
||||
"unbuffer yarn test run",
|
||||
]
|
||||
description = "Run RSpec tests"
|
||||
depends = ["bundle-install", "node-install"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This worked (for now). But it ate at me, for a couple reasons. I had to
|
||||
duplicate everything about the existing `test:rspec` and `test:vitest` tasks.
|
||||
And this didn't account for a new kind of test task being added (e.g.
|
||||
`test:e2e`).
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, I can rely on `depends` and wildcards to achieve this without the
|
||||
duplication which makes it more future-proof.
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tasks."test:all"]
|
||||
description = "Run all tests (RSpec and Vitest)"
|
||||
depends = ["test:*"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Running `mise run test:all` won't execute its own command, but because it
|
||||
depends on all other `test:*` tasks, the tests will get run through those
|
||||
dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
This task naming pattern also allows for calling all tests with `mise run
|
||||
"test:**"`.

# Run A Command With Specific Tool Version
|
||||
|
||||
Because I'm using `mise` to manage the versions of tools like Node, I can
|
||||
execute commands in the context of specific versions. Behind the scenes `mise`
|
||||
makes sure I have the necessary tool(s) installed at the desired version(s).
|
||||
|
||||
So, [`mise exec` command](https://mise.jdx.dev/cli/exec.html) will default to
|
||||
using the latest version of a tool if I haven't been more specific. At the time
|
||||
of this writing, for Node, that is v23.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ mise exec node -- node --version
|
||||
v23.9.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To be specific I could specify the major version with `node@23` like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mise exec node@23 -- npx repomix
|
||||
Need to install the following packages:
|
||||
repomix@0.2.39
|
||||
Ok to proceed? (y) y
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or if I wanted to use a different, older version of Node, I could specify that
|
||||
as well. We can see it will first install that and then execute the command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ mise exec node@22 -- npx repomix

# Fetch Data From An Endpoint In SQL
|
||||
|
||||
The [`pgsql-http` extension](https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-http) provides a
|
||||
variety of functions for allowing PostgreSQL to act as an HTTP client. This is
|
||||
a bit unorthodox and may not be a good idea in production systems. That said,
|
||||
it is cool that it is possible. Let's look at an example of it.
|
||||
|
||||
First, I've installed the extension on the Docker container running my local
|
||||
Postgres server.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ docker exec -it still-postgres-1 bash
|
||||
|
||||
$ apt-get update
|
||||
|
||||
$ apt-get install postgres-16-http # I'm running Postgres v16
|
||||
|
||||
$ exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then I'll connect to a `psql` session in that container for the `postgres` database.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ docker exec still-postgres-1 psql -U postgres -d postgres
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then I enable the extension.
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
> create extension if not exists http;
|
||||
CREATE EXTENSION
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now I can point a PostgreSQL statement at a live endpoint like
|
||||
[https://httpbun.com/ip](https://httpbun.com/ip) which will respond with a
|
||||
chunk of JSON including the IP address for that project's server. I do this
|
||||
using `http_get` which makes a `GET` request to the given endpoint. The body is
|
||||
included in the result set.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
> select content from http_get('http://httpbun.com/ip');
|
||||

# Break Debugger On First Line Of Program
|
||||
|
||||
One of the things I appreciate about how
|
||||
[Delve](https://github.com/go-delve/delve) (the debugger for Go) works by
|
||||
default is that when you start it up, it immediately breaks on the first line
|
||||
of the program. This is as good a starting point as any regardless of whether
|
||||
you have other breakpoints set.
|
||||
|
||||
As I was reading through the VS Code Python Debugger configuration docs, I
|
||||
noticed [an option called
|
||||
`stopOnEntry`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging#_stoponentry).
|
||||
It is turned off by default, but if you turn it on, then you get the same
|
||||
behavior as I described for Delve. Nice!
|
||||
|
||||
This can be configured in a `.vscode/launch.json` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"version": "0.2.0",
|
||||
"configurations": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
|
||||
"type": "debugpy",
|
||||
"request": "launch",
|
||||
"program": "${file}",
|
||||
"console": "integratedTerminal",
|
||||
"stopOnEntry": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, when running this debugger configuration profile, you'll break the
|
||||
debugger on the first line of the program. From there add more breakpoints,
|
||||
start stepping through, etc.

# Add Color To The IRB Console Prompt
|
||||
|
||||
IRB has a little-known [`Color`
|
||||
module](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.2/IRB/Color.html) with some helpers for
|
||||
adding a splash of color to the IRB prompt. I like to clearly differentiate the
|
||||
environment I'm in when connecting to the `rails console`, so I have a
|
||||
customize the prompt to display and colorize the current environment.
|
||||
|
||||
I can wrap any string in ANSI escape codes that instruct the terminal to style
|
||||
the text with color. For instance, here is how I can style the word `DEV` to be
|
||||
inverted against a blue background.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
IRB::Color.colorize("DEV", [:BLUE, :BOLD, :REVERSE])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
which will clearly stand out from `PROD` against a red background:
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
IRB::Color.colorize("PROD", [:RED, :BOLD, :REVERSE])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a full example of customizing the prompt from the
|
||||
`config/application.rb` file.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
module MyApp
|
||||
class Application < Rails::Application
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
|
||||
console do
|
||||
# Get the application module name and convert to kebab-case
|
||||
app_name = Rails.application.class.module_parent.name
|
||||
kebab_name = app_name.underscore.dasherize

|
||||
# Environment color coding
|

env_colors = {
|

"production" => IRB::Color.colorize("PROD", [:RED, :BOLD, :REVERSE]),
