Delete Project
Delete Project: A Comprehensive Guide to Project Deletion
As a user, managing projects is an essential part of your workflow. However, sometimes you may need to delete a project that is no longer needed or was created for testing purposes. In this article, we will explore the process of deleting a project, including the user story, acceptance criteria, and unit and integration tests.
As a user, I want to delete a project I created, so I can clean up unused or test projects. This user story highlights the need for a delete project feature that allows users to remove projects they no longer need.
To ensure that the delete project feature meets the user's expectations, we have established the following acceptance criteria:
- Delete button is visible only to the project creator: Only the user who created the project should be able to see the delete button.
- Clicking prompts a confirmation dialog: When the user clicks the delete button, a confirmation dialog should appear to ensure that the user intends to delete the project.
- Confirming deletes the project and removes it from the overview: If the user confirms the deletion, the project should be deleted, and it should be removed from the project overview.
To implement the delete project feature, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Display Delete Button Only to Project Creator
To ensure that only the project creator can see the delete button, we will add a check to verify the user's identity before displaying the button.
def get_project_delete_button(project):
if project.creator_id == current_user.id:
return True
return False
Step 2: Prompt Confirmation Dialog
When the user clicks the delete button, we will display a confirmation dialog to ensure that the user intends to delete the project.
def delete_project_confirmation(project):
if confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this project?"):
return True
return False
Step 3: Delete Project and Remove from Overview
If the user confirms the deletion, we will delete the project and remove it from the project overview.
def delete_project(project):
db.session.delete(project)
db.session.commit()
return True
To ensure that the deletion method works correctly, we will write a unit test to verify that the project is deleted when the deletion method is called.
def test_delete_project():
project = Project.query.first()
assert project is not None
delete_project(project)
assert Project.query.first() is None
To ensure that the project is removed from the project overview after deletion, we will write an integration test to verify that the project is no longer visible.
def test_project_disappears_after_deletion():
project = Project.query.first()
assert project is not None
delete_project(project)
assert Project.query.first() is None
assert Project.query.filter_by(name=project.name).first() is None
In this article, we have explored the process of deleting a project, including the user story, acceptance criteria, and unit and integration tests. By following these steps and writing the necessary tests, we can ensure that the delete project feature works correctly and meets the user's expectations.
When implementing the delete project feature, it is essential to follow best practices to ensure that the feature works correctly and meets the user's expectations. Some best practices to follow include:
- Use a confirmation dialog: Before deleting a project, use a confirmation dialog to ensure that the user intends to delete the project.
- Verify user identity: Before displaying the delete button, verify the user's identity to ensure that only the project creator can see the button.
- Write unit and integration tests: Write unit and integration tests to ensure that the deletion method works correctly and that the project is removed from the project overview after deletion.
By following these best practices and writing the necessary tests, we can ensure that the delete project feature works correctly and meets the user's expectations.
Delete Project: Frequently Asked Questions
In our previous article, we explored the process of deleting a project, including the user story, acceptance criteria, and unit and integration tests.
