Simple Instructions:

Run the command.

Explanations:

1. xgettext will parse a file and look for strings which are wrapped in _(). It will output those strings to a .po file for translations (default filename = messages.po).
   • What it looks for varies based on language - see 5.1.6.
2. The find command will cause xgettext to parse all of the files which find returns rather than just parsing a single file.
3. --join-existing will merge the results to an existing message.po file in the same output directory.

// Add this to your browser with your favourite script addon/plugin and jQuery.

// They just did this annoying thing where they hide all the doc headings.
// How the hell am I supposed to CTRL+F on them now?
// May as well remove ads while we're at it.

// Auto-expand all doc listings. Haven't tested for negative side-effects.

Preface

These are notes from my initial research into what Behat and Mink are as well as how they interact with one another.

The short of it is that these two tools should not go together. They are two different tools for two different purposes.

Behat is for writing BDD and moving that BDD over to testing the domain (via PHPUnit or a similar tool).

Mink is for testing the front-end user interface of web pages. The logic involved here is typically not domain logic; but rather UI logic.

While it is possible to make these two tools work together, it is not a good idea.

Preface

This is a summary of the knowledge I have gained after some research and first tests.

Behat is a tool for writing feature requirement criteria in Gherkin syntax, and integrating this criteria with PHP. In order to work with Behat (a tool) and Gherkin (a syntax or way of writing feature requirements), you will need to understand how to get Behat setup, the role it plays, and how to write using Gherkin.

Behat Setup

The following readme should work: https://github.com/Behat/Behat/blob/master/README.md For Laravel, the following video outlines the process:

Looks like someone has spent too much time adding annoying crap to dictionary.com and thesaurus.com.

Remove it by doing the following:

1. In Chrome install the Custom Javascript (cjs) extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/custom-javascript-for-web/poakhlngfciodnhlhhgnaaelnpjljija/related?hl=en
2. When on dictionary.com or thesaurus.com, click on the extension's icon in the top right of your browser. The icon reads: "cjs"
3. Make sure the checkbox to enable cjs for this host is enabled.
4. From the external scripts dropdown, select the newest version of jQuery.
5. Paste the code in script.js (found on this page) into the textbox hit "save", and reload the page if necessary.
6. All of that annoying shit should be gone now.
