Super interested in how to prompt copilot for testing. I pay for it myself as high paid developer and love the boilerplate autocomplete. Just joined a new team and my lead is a good person, but rookie TS dev (as is the whole team). They are forcing me to adapt their coding style and copilot seems to see the code in the repo and emulate it. Saves me so much time and just got a 30% pay raise to join this team so if they want it wrong copilot helps me code it wrong. Also does it correctly when in my own repos so best of both worlds. If someone writes up a blog about copilot and testing would be super appreciated. Long story short I joined the team at the end of the release and NO unit tests and no linting. I turned on the linter with a git hook to only lint the files staged for checkin. Got some pushback but eventually made it though code review. After the release they want me to write all the unit/integration tests and I am already planning to automate most of it, but any advice / suggestions are welcomed. Before anyone says leave the company not an option! Just signed 2 year commitment and I am a person of my word. Plus I like my team just not the code base. If anyone is in a similar boat and wants to collaborate on a solution please leave a comment here. I will update my HN profile with a burner email that you can contact me for my real email. Or I can contact you though your profile. Once it’s done might have a product who knows…. Hopefully no one from my team sees this post cause I am going to tell them they are all hand coded and working my ass off.
