Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  -- I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  -- Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  -- @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  -- @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  -- @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  -- @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  -- @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  -- @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

58-58: Use .strip() to Clean Up the Time String

Instead of splitting the time string by newline and taking the first element, you can use .strip() to remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the time string. This approach is more robust and accounts for any unexpected whitespace.

Apply this diff:

-            time = item.css(".clock-time time::text").get().split("\n")[0]
+            time = item.css(".clock-time time::text").get().strip()

1-139: Good Test Coverage and Usage of Fixtures

The tests provide thorough coverage of the LoscaBoardOfSupervisorsSpider, validating all key attributes of the parsed items. The use of freezegun to freeze time ensures consistent test results regardless of the current date. Great job on setting up comprehensive tests!

1-192: Inclusion of Test HTML File Is Appropriate

Including the HTML file for testing purposes is acceptable. It ensures that tests can run reliably without relying on live website data, which may change over time. This approach contributes to consistent and repeatable test results.

[cruznunez]

The CI check is having trouble running the pipenv sync --dev command. It raises an error of

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/runner/work/city-scrapers-losca/city-scrapers-losca/.venv/bin/python'

This happened on my last commit, too. It passed after I reran the job. However, this time time I've rerun it like 3 times and it's still failing. Didn't want to keep retrying after that. Please advise.
