NervHome: Initial project setup

As usual, we start with creating an empty project on gitlab, which we will call “nervhome” (even if I believe I probably already have that name used somewhere in my archives 🤔, but never mind): Done

Now I add that project into the nervproj config file:

"projects": [
    // ... more stuff here ...
    {
      "names": ["NervHome", "nvh"],
      "repository_url": "ssh://git@gitlab.nervtech.org:22002/nerv/nervhome.git"
    }
  ]

And now checking out the project locally:

$ nvp -p nvh git clone D:/Projects/NervHome

And initializing that project:

$ nvp -p nvh admin init

Cool! This actually worked just fine!

The init command above will also create a template for the nvp_plug.py file where we should define the entrypoint for our project.

First utility that I need to incorporate in this project is the navision time generator tool: I use this to generate default “navision” (a custom time monitoring tool used in my current job) .csv file.

So I will take the existing project from my giant “NervSeed” repository and convert it into a “component” here, and then I expect to be able to call it with a simple command line such as:

$ nvp navi gen [idx]

Note: in the command above idx should be a relative month index compared to the current month

Hmmm… 🤔 actually… thinking about it maybe it's time for an upgrade here too: since I need to provide full weeks when reporting work time now: this tool should thus rather append weeks to a target csv file… let's see…

⇒ OK so just using the command above but without a month index now. instead we can generate a “number of weeks” and by defautl going to the end of the year.

And a new full year entry file can be created with the command nvp navi gen --year 2023 for instance.
