Yak Shaving

Talk about shaving a yak. I created a tool to analysis spring bean dependencies. It worked fine on a simple test app I created and produced a nice Directed graph. Ok, so I wanted to try it on a semi real app I created however it wasn’t working. I realised it the actuator /beans endpoints had a different formatted json output which I realise must be a version difference of spring. So I thought I’ll just rewrite the node app that outputs the json in the required format for D3js. Ok, 30 mins later I think instead of this I’ll upgrade my semi real app to spring 2. 3 hrs later after writing the app so its uses the new repo methods getById , the native queries needed changing from using mappers to projections, updating flyway, updating my tests, fixing caching.

I forget what the hell I was trying to do in the first place.
