Refactored and Debugged Python Codebase

📅 2025-07-10 — Session: Refactored and Debugged Python Codebase

🕒 22:10–23:10
🏷️ Labels: Python, Refactoring, Error Handling, Job Matching, Prototype
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to address multiple errors and improve the codebase’s structure and functionality in Python.

Key Activities

• Error Handling: Fixed AttributeError in datetime usage and IsADirectoryError in file handling, providing solutions and code snippets for proper usage.
• Code Refactoring: Refactored the save_metadata method in RunManager and updated the pipeline for directory-based outputs. This included separating metadata directories and file paths, and ensuring consistent directory returns from make_run_dir().
• Bug Fixes: Resolved a path type mismatch in the file_download_link function and improved file download logic by modifying the function to handle directories correctly.
• Job Matching Automation: Organized job match results by run using Streamlit, scanning directories, and constructing paths.
• Prototype Assessment: Conducted a mid-prototype assessment for a job search pipeline, identifying gaps and planning enhancements.
• Text Correction: Performed grammatical corrections and phrase reformulations in content writing.

Achievements

• Successfully fixed multiple errors and improved the robustness of the codebase.
• Enhanced the modularity and usability of the job search pipeline prototype.
• Provided a roadmap for further development and productization.

Pending Tasks

• Further refinement of config_tab.py for modularity and input validation is needed, with a detailed plan already outlined.
