Description

Session Goal:

The session aimed to refactor the Makefile used in the accounting pipeline to improve its efficiency and maintainability.

Key Activities:

• Reading Python Script from File: Utilized the pathlib library to read a Python script, focusing on file handling techniques.
• Extracting Functions: Employed regular expressions to extract the ‘main’ function and ‘load_reports_folder’ function definitions from code snippets, enhancing code analysis skills.
• Makefile Refactoring: Focused on removing the dependency on the accounting.reports step in the pipeline. The refactoring aligned the stages to focus on ingestion, materialization, and views while maintaining backward compatibility.
• Makefile Configuration and Error Fixing: Configured Makefile targets, addressed issues with the OUT_DIR variable, and resolved here-document errors by replacing them with Python one-liners for sanity checks.

Achievements:

• Successfully refactored the Makefile, improving automation and pipeline efficiency.
• Enhanced understanding of file operations and regular expressions in Python.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing of the refactored Makefile to ensure all dependencies are correctly managed and backward compatibility is maintained.
