import os

Instant goblin behavior.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago

Terrible code.

os.remove does not remove folders, for that you want shutil.rmtree().

Best to just do the user data folder since that’s where you have permission anyway.

Is that the test driven programming everyone talks about?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Exactly. You write the tests first so you know exactly when not to remove Windows.

[–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

That would be true if there were tests. If you work in banking or any other field with very specific specs and regulations, the program is almost perfect and answers the demands of the client.

The undefined behavior is too much though, he should throw an exception instead.

I got once disqualified from a programming competition for including cases like that - and I was even nice enough to not include the os.remove thing!

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago
