With the blog parsing tool pretty stable, I’d like a break and to start working on my Stardew Valley Mod!
Asking for testing assistance
Prompt:
The test ShouldDrawRow is a little confusing on why it is failing on the test that has two expected rows. The assertion is failing is the number of horizontal dividers. Can you inspect both the test and the implementation and suggest a couple different ideas on what the issue might be and how to fix it.
Details
Looking at the failing test ShouldDrawRow with two expected rows, I can see there’s an issue with the number of horizontal dividers being drawn. Let me analyze both the implementation and the test to identify potential problems:
The Issue
In the test, when expectedRows > 1, the assertion expects:
This means for 2 expected rows, it’s expecting 4 horizontal partition calls. However, it seems the actual implementation is drawing a different number.
Potential Issues and Solutions
Issue 1: Misunderstanding of how horizontal partitions are drawn in the implementation
In the ForecastMenu.DrawRow method, there’s this code:
if (rowNumber != _maxNumberOfRows - 1)
{
drawHorizontalPartition(batch, y + rowHeight - 5, true);
}
This means a horizontal partition is only drawn if the current row is not the last row. For 2 rows, only 1 horizontal partition would be drawn between the rows, not 2 partitions per row.
Solution 1: Update the test expectation to match the actual implementation. If the implementation draws one partition between rows, then for 2 rows, we should expect 1 partition, not 4.
Issue 2: The test is not accounting for other horizontal partitions drawn elsewhere
Looking at the draw method in ForecastMenu, there are other horizontal partitions being drawn:
These are drawn in the DrawPartitions method, which is called before drawing rows. The test might be clearing the partition calls before drawing rows, but not accounting for these additional partitions.
Solution 2: Update the test to account for all horizontal partitions drawn, including those in DrawPartitions. The test should either:
Clear the partition calls right before drawing rows, not after drawing the menu
Adjust the expected count to include partitions from DrawPartitions
Issue 3: The test setup might be creating a different screen size than expected
But it might not be accounting for all the draws that happen during the full draw cycle.
Solution 4: Add more detailed logging or breakpoints to track exactly when and how many horizontal partitions are being drawn during the test execution.
Recommended Approach
Add a debug statement or breakpoint to count exactly how many horizontal partitions are being drawn and where
Check if the _maxNumberOfRows value matches your expectations for the test screen size
Update the test assertion to match the actual implementation behavior, which likely draws fewer partitions than expected
The most likely issue is that the test expectation doesn’t match how the implementation actually draws partitions between rows (only between, not for each row).
This means it should be capturing all partitions drawn during the second draw, which includes both the partitions from DrawPartitions and from DrawRow.
So for 2 rows, we should expect:
2 partitions from DrawPartitions
1 partition from the first row in DrawRow
Total: 3 partitions
The assertion expecting 4 partitions (2 * 2) doesn’t align with how the implementation actually draws partitions.
The correct assertion should probably be:
// 2 from DrawPartitions + (expectedRows - 1) from DrawRowAssert.That(HarmonyIClickableMenu.DrawHoriztonalPartitionCalls[_batch], Has.Count.EqualTo(2 + (expectedRows - 1)));
This change updates just the assertion in the ShouldDrawRow test to correctly account for:
2 horizontal partitions from the DrawPartitions method
(expectedRows - 1) partitions from the DrawRow method (one between each row, except after the last row)

Based on the chat history, I need to implement a fix for the ShouldDrawRow test in the ForecastMenuTests.cs file. The issue is with the assertion for the number of horizontal partitions.
To make this change, I’ll need to see the actual content of the Tests/menu/ForecastMenuTests.cs file. Could you please add this file to the chat?

Conclusion
Today was fairy disappointing. Although at the end of it I think the issue might have been the line endings being in windows format perhaps? I’ll try reformatting it and trying again tomorrow. Thankfully the tool did a good job of using the chat history as a memory bank of sorts!
