Getting Started with Median of a List of Lists (with no concatenation) kata in Java

Prerequisites

  • macOS, Linux or Windows

  • git client

  • curl command line utility

  • Java JDK-17

    Details

    The source code of this project is compatible with Java 17 and above. Remember to update the java version in the kata's pom.xml and/or build.gradle if you're planning to use a different version.

Getting ready

1 - Clone the kata repository

git clone https://github.com/murex/Kata-MedianListOfLists.git

2 - Go to the kata's java directory

cd Kata-MedianListOfLists/java

Running the kata

You can run the kata from the command line or from your IDE of choice.

You may also run it using TCR if you want to add a bit of spice.

Running the kata from a terminal with Gradle

Reminder: the command below should be run from Kata-MedianListOfLists/java directory

The kata comes with Gradle wrapper pre-installed. Just type the following to run it.

./gradlew clean test

Running the kata from a terminal with Maven

Running the kata from a terminal with TCR

Note to Windows users

Use a git bash terminal for running the command below. Windows CMD and PowerShell are not supported

./tcrw

Refer to Using TCR section for additional details about TCR and available options.

Running the kata from IntelliJ IDEA

Open Intellij IDEA and select:

File > Open > Kata-MedianListOfLists > java

After loading the project into IntelliJ, you can build the project using either the Maven or Gradle built-in build tools.

Run all the tests in the MedianListOfListsTest class.

The "Run" tool window should display all the executed tests.

Running the kata from IntelliJ IDEA with TCR

TCR is provided as a command line utility running in a terminal. You can run it from IntelliJ IDEA directly, through leveraging on its built-in terminal.

1. Open the kata

Open Intellij IDEA and select:

File > Open > Kata-MedianListOfLists > java

2. Turn off auto-save

TCR is constantly watching the filesystem for changes. For this reason you need to turn off Intellij IDEA's auto-save in order for it to behave as expected.

File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings

Under Autosave section, uncheck the 2 following options:

  • Save files if the IDE is idle for ___ seconds
  • Save files when switching to a different application or a built-in terminal

3. Configure the built-in terminal to run git bash

Windows Only

Skip this step if you're on macOS or Linux

Intellij IDEA for Windows is usually set up to run PowerShell by default in its built-in terminal. TCR does not run in PowerShell.

File > Settings > Tools > Terminal

Under Application Settings section, set the Shell path to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe

The above path is for a default git installation location. You may need to adjust it in case you have installed git at a different location.

4. Open a built-in terminal

View > Tool Windows > Terminal

5. Launch TCR

Reminder: the command below should be run from Kata-MedianListOfLists/java directory

From the built-in terminal:

./tcrw

Refer to Using TCR section for additional details about TCR and available options.

Running the kata from Visual Studio Code

Open Visual Studio Code and select:

File > Open Folder > Kata-MedianListOfLists > java

After loading the project into Visual Studio Code, you can build the project using either the Maven or Gradle built-in build tools.

Run all the tests in the MedianListOfListsTest class.

Open the Testing tab to view all the executed tests.

Running the kata from Visual Studio Code with TCR
