gatsby-source-lastfm

npm package npm package

This is a source plugin for GatsbyJS to pull information from Last.FM. It will pull in playbacks and associated information for a user into GraphQL, preserving all links as expected. The plugin will grab up until the limit set in its configuration; if no limit is set, it will grab all a user’s scrobbles. Note that this could take a LONG time — for 100,000 scrobbles, this equates to about 9 hours to build my site. In short, including everything could make your build take all day.

Notes on Testing/TravisCI

This plugin originally had its own .travis.yml file. Originally, this did the babel traspilation step and verified that no errors took place; it never was capable of testing the actually funcationality of the plugin without a GatsbyJS build process to test in.

To improve this, I’ve moved testing for all my GatsbyJS source plugins to test suites in the repository for www-jamesdanylik-com. Here, TravisCI handles building my Gatsby site, running all my source plugins; after a build is created successfully, I run test suites in Jest with Pupeteer on each of my plugins and the entire created site — testing in this manner enables access to the complete plugin run, and allows me to ensure each of the plugins are running as expected.

TravisCI is configured to rebuild my site daily, regardless of activity, so I should detect outages fairly quickly.
