Last week, I got an email from Microsoft. It told me I’d be paying 46% more for my Office subscription, starting next month.

But when I tried to cancel, it offered me the same price I was already paying — without the generative AI features I never asked for in the first place.

This isn’t just deceptive; it’s an abuse of market power. I’ve had it with Microsoft.

I’ve had it with Microsoft

The company is deceptively raising prices on existing customers to fund its AI spending

Linux Will Finally Be Able To Reboot Apple M1/M2 Macs With The v6.17 Kernel

On a more fundamental level, the upcoming Linux 6.17 kernel is going to cross off another low-level expe…

ZDFheute live - Ukrainische Beamte von Putin gekauft?
Mit Nico Lange

Mit einem neuen Gesetz entzieht die Ukraine zwei Anti-Korruptionsbehörden die Unabhängigkeit. Die Kritik im In- und Ausland ist groß, auch an Präsident Selenskyj.
Faktisch sollen das Nationale Antikorruptionsbüro (NABU) und die Spezialisierte Antikorruptionsstaatsanwaltschaft (SAP) dem Generalstaatsanwalt unterstellt werden. Der wiederum wird von Selenskyj ernannt.

Create Unit Test on Nuxt with vitest

Sample Code for Test - useCommonUtil.ts
export default () => { const isItemInListByType = <T>( list: T[] | undefined, key: keyof T, value: T ): boolean => { if (!list || list.length === 0) { console.error("List is empty or undefined."); return false; } const itemIndex = list.findIndex((item) => item[key] === value[key]); if (itemIndex === -1) { console.error(`Item with ${String(key)}=${value} not found in the list.`); return false; } return true; }; return { isItemInListByType, };};
Here is a step to add unit test in Nuxt Project

• Setup For Test
• Create a Test File
• Run Tests
• Reference

Setup For Test

• Add Required Lib

bun add -d vitest @vitest/ui @vue/test-utils jsdom

• Update your package.json to include a test script for running Vitest with Bun (Line 7)

"scripts": { "build": "nuxt build", "dev": "nuxt dev", "generate": "nuxt generate", "preview": "nuxt preview", "postinstall": "nuxt prepare", "test": "vitest"}

• Configure Vitest - Create a vitest.config.ts file in the root of your project

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';export default defineConfig({ test: { globals: true, environment: 'jsdom', setupFiles: './vitest.setup.ts', // Optional: Add setup file for global configurations },});

If you need to configure global settings (e.g., mocking or extending Jest matchers), create a vitest.setup.ts file

import '@testing-library/jest-dom';

Create a Test File

create a test on the same level as useCommonUtil.ts > useCommonUtil.test.ts
import useCommonUtil from './useCommonUtil';import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'describe('useCommonUtil', () => { const { isItemInListByType } = useCommonUtil(); const sampleList = [ { id: 1, name: 'Item 1' }, { id: 2, name: 'Item 2' }, { id: 3, name: 'Item 3' }, ]; it("should return true if the item exists in the list by key", () => { const result = isItemInListByType(sampleList, "id", { id: 2, name: "Item 2" }); expect(result).toBe(true); }); it("should return false if the item does not exist in the list by key", () => { const result = isItemInListByType(sampleList, "id", { id: 4, name: "Item 4" }); expect(result).toBe(false); }); it("should return false if the list is empty", () => { const result = isItemInListByType([], "id", { id: 1, name: "Item 1" }); expect(result).toBe(false); }); it("should return false if the list is undefined", () => { const result = isItemInListByType(undefined, "id", { id: 1, name: "Item 1" }); expect(result).toBe(false); }); it("should return false if the key does not match any item in the list", () => { const result = isItemInListByType(sampleList, "name", { id: 1, name: "Nonexistent Item" }); expect(result).toBe(false); }); it("should handle objects with additional properties gracefully", () => { const extendedList = [ { id: 1, name: "Item 1", extra: "Extra 1" }, { id: 2, name: "Item 2", extra: "Extra 2" }, ]; const result = isItemInListByType(extendedList, "id", { id: 1, name: "Item 1", extra: "Extra 1" }); expect(result).toBe(true); });});

Run Tests
