Coercing an array with semver, sorting it and then reverting it to its pre-coerce counterpart

Dec 18 '19 Comments: 1 Answers: 1

A problem with semver is that its different functions return different outputs:

const semver = require("semver")


semver.valid("1.0.0")
//=> "1.0.0"

semver.valid(" 1.0.0 ")
//=> null

semver.valid(" v1.0.0 ")
//=> null


semver.clean("1.0.0")
//=> "1.0.0"

semver.clean(" 1.0.0 ")
//=> "1.0.0"

semver.clean(" v1.0.0 ")
//=> null


semver.valid(semver.coerce("1.0.0"))
//=> "1.0.0"

semver.valid(semver.coerce(" 1.0.0 "))
//=> "1.0.0"

Help break Quilt!

I need your help to try to break my programming library, Quilt in order to expose bugs before it is released.

To do so, simply execute any function in the library and try to make it perform something unexpected.

For example, if add(True, True) results in 2, then that is unexpected.

Once you've found anything, simply create a shiny new bug report in the handy-dandy issue tracker found here.

What should I call my Python library?

I've created a Python library that contains many useful functions. At the moment, it's called Quilt but I've realised that such name has already been used in other GNU software. That brings me to the Python thread of dev.to to ask the community for a new name. By the way, the GitHub repository is here and the documentation is here.
