Fix: How to build a Ballerina project with tests

 To build a Ballerina project with tests, you can use the `ballerina build` command, which will compile your Ballerina code and produce executables. Here are the steps to build a Ballerina project with tests:


1. **Create a Ballerina Project:**


   If you haven't already, create a new Ballerina project using the following command:


   ```

   ballerina new <project-name>

   ```


   Replace `<project-name>` with your desired project name.


2. **Write Ballerina Code:**


   Develop your Ballerina services and modules within the project. Ensure that you include tests in your project. Tests in Ballerina are written using the `@test` annotation.


3. **Build the Project:**


   Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to your project directory, and use the `ballerina build` command to build the project:


   ```

   ballerina build

   ```


   This command compiles your Ballerina code, including the tests, and generates executable binaries.


4. **Execute the Tests:**


   To execute the tests, you can use the `ballerina test` command:


   ```

   ballerina test

   ```


   This command runs all the tests in your project and provides the test results, including the pass/fail status and any error messages.


5. **Generate and Run Executable Files (Optional):**


   Once the project is built, you can run the executable files, typically located in the `target/bin` directory. These are the binary versions of your Ballerina services. For example:


   ```

   ./target/bin/<project-name>.jar

   ```


6. **View Test Results:**


   After running tests, you can view the test results in the console. Ballerina will provide information on test cases and whether they passed or failed.


Please ensure that your Ballerina code includes proper tests using the `@test` annotation and that you follow Ballerina's conventions for structuring tests. Additionally, make sure that you have Ballerina installed and configured in your development environment.


Remember that Ballerina is designed for cloud-native application development, and writing tests for your Ballerina code is an essential part of ensuring code quality and reliability.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
