October 17-23, 2021 in Darker: Performance Optimizations and Git Integration Improvements

[akaihola]

This week, we made significant progress in performance optimization and Git integration. We merged a pull request (#214) introducing an ASTVerifier, which caches intermediate data during bisect operations. This change addresses performance issues raised in #211 and optimizes the verification of abstract syntax trees during the bisection process.

We also improved our Git integration test coverage by merging a pull request (#167) that extended unit tests for the git_get_content_at_revision() function. This enhancement ensures better compatibility with Windows environments in Git-related tests. Additionally, we addressed an issue (#228) where Darker was encountering errors when using the --stdout option with certain file paths. The community identified the root cause and proposed a solution, which is being reviewed.

On the project management front, we closed several long-standing issues, including a Visual Studio Code integration issue (#104) related to format-on-save functionality. We also addressed concerns about Darker's behavior as a pre-commit hook, particularly regarding its handling of linter output and exit codes (#223).
