BlogWatcher CLI

Quick Orientation

  • Use the Cobra entry point in `cmd/blogwatcher/main.go` and `internal/cli/`.
  • Route business logic through `internal/controller` and persistence through `internal/storage`.
  • Use scanning pipeline packages in `internal/scanner`, `internal/rss`, and `internal/scraper`.
  • Remember the default SQLite path is `~/.blogwatcher/blogwatcher.db` (override with `BLOGWATCHER_DB`) and is created on demand.

Run Commands

  • Run locally with `go run ./cmd/blogwatcher ...`.
  • Build with `go build ./cmd/blogwatcher`.

Change Workflow

1. Add or adjust CLI commands in `internal/cli/commands.go` (Cobra options, arguments, output formatting). 2. Put non-trivial logic in `internal/controller` so the CLI stays thin and testable. 3. Update storage or schema in `internal/storage/database.go` and adjust model conversion in `internal/model` if needed. 4. Modify scanning behavior in `internal/scanner` and its helpers (`internal/rss`, `internal/scraper`). 5. Update or add tests under `internal/` or `cmd/` for every feature change or addition.

Test Guidance

  • Run tests with `go test ./...`.
  • If you add a feature, add tests and any necessary dummy data.
  • Keep tests focused on CLI behavior, controller logic, and scraper/RSS parsing outcomes.

Output Conventions

  • Preserve user-friendly CLI output with colors and clear errors.
  • When listing posts available for reading, always include the link to each post in the output.
  • Keep error handling consistent with existing exceptions (`BlogNotFoundError`, `BlogAlreadyExistsError`, `ArticleNotFoundError`).
