Comment on GIT Fatal You Have not Concluded Your Merge MERGE_HEAD Exists by WallTearer

Hey.

Thanks a lot for the article, but I think you have to add another step between 2 and 3: git commit -m “Comment”

Because I was following your steps, and only after applying git commit I became able to push my changes

This was a great example. I really got what information I was looking for especially with sort -k options.

Thanks,

I found a case where even LC_ALL=C does not help…

echo -e “alan\t20\t3\t0\ngeorge\t5\t0\t0\nalice\t3\t5\t0\ndora\t4\t9\t5″ | LC_ALL=C sort -n -k 2 -t \t

alan 20 3 0
alice 3 5 0
dora 4 9 5
george 5 0 0

Great! Thanks! The error message was definitely confusing, but pulling first worked for me too. Thank you.

This will solve your sort problem

sort -t , -k 2n,2 file-to-be-sorted.txt

You need “-k 2,2″ to tell sort to only consider the second column. The “n” in “-k 2n,2″ tells the sort command to sort the column numerically. If you omit the “n” 20 gets sorted before 3.

I did some testing and it seems that when you sort multiple numerical columns the numbers gets combined. When you specify “-k 2″ you tell sort to use all columns from column two until the end of the line. You also specified comma to be the column separator. When you do this then I think sort see the data this way:

dora,4,0.9,5
alice,3,5,0
george,5,0,0
alan,20,3,0

becomes

dora,40.95
alice,350
george,500
alan,2030

Which is in order. I did a test with different numbers and still got the same behavior.

try sorting this by 2nd column:

dora,4,0.9,5
alice,3,5,0
george,5,0,0
alan,20,3,0

with command:

cat | sort -n -k 2 -t ,

the 0.9 seems to confuse sort

Comment on How to automatically provide an answer to Unix commands by chawlee

chawlee — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:05:45 +0000

absolutely useful. i always pipe “yes” the wrong way and never get my files copied. rather annoying.

does the yes command eventually stop when the copy is done? i suppose I could test it out but i’m already leaving the comment. =D

Comment on Mockito an alternative to JMock by michael

michael — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:52:59 +0000

I think it’s fairly easy to migrate tests from JMock to Mockito. Where I work we allow both of these frameworks and programmers are free to pick whichever they want within the same project. For us that prefer Mockito we typically leave the JMock tests in place unless there’s a reason to rewrite them. However if I have to add new tests I typically use Mockito over JMock .

how easy is it to migrate to mockito from Jmock if you have loads of JMock tests ?
