🏷️ Labels: Emailbot, Rss Bot, Python, Testing, Error Handling
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to develop and test components for an EmailBot and RSS Bot system, focusing on email automation, data ingestion, and error handling improvements.

Key Activities:

• Defined project specifications for a Smart Monitoring System to replace Google Pub/Sub with a custom notification system.
• Conducted unit tests for the EmailBot class, including a ‘Hello World’ test scenario using a mock SQLite database.
• Resolved Python import issues by modifying __init__.py files and adjusting PYTHONPATH.
• Fixed an argument error in the fetch_emails() method and improved email fetching logic with logging and error handling.
• Implemented a Telegram data ingestor bot using the Telethon library to fetch messages and save them to a SQLite database.
• Addressed ArgumentError in Jupyter notebooks when using unittest and provided solutions for testing asynchronous code.
• Developed an RSS Bot framework for parsing job postings and storing data in MongoDB, with a successful test of core logic.

Achievements:

• Successfully tested and improved the EmailBot class functionality.
• Implemented a Telegram data ingestor bot for message fetching.
• Developed a robust RSS Bot framework with successful data parsing and storage in NoSQL databases.

Pending Tasks:

• Further refine error handling and logging for both EmailBot and RSS Bot systems.
• Explore additional data sources and extend functionality for the RSS Bot framework.
