This commit refactors existing text utility functions into the
application layer for broad reuse and integrates them across
the codebase. Initially, these utilities were confined to test
code, which limited their application.
Changes:
- Move text utilities to the application layer.
- Centralize text utilities into dedicated files for better
maintainability.
- Improve robustness of utility functions with added type checks.
- Replace duplicated logic with centralized utility functions
throughout the codebase.
- Expand unit tests to cover refactored code parts.
This commit introduces type validation for parameter values within the
parser/compiler, aligning with the YAML schema. It aims to eliminate
dependencies on side effects in the collection files.
This update changes the treatment of data types in the Windows
collection, moving away from unintended type casting by the compiler.
Previously, numeric and boolean values were used even though only
string types were supported. This behavior was unstable and untested,
and has now been adjusted to use strings exclusively.
Changes ensure that parameter values are correctly validated
as strings, enhancing stability and maintainability.
This commit introduces stricter type validation across the application
to reject objects with unexpected properties, enhancing the robustness
and predictability of data handling.
Changes include:
- Implement a common utility to validate object types.
- Refactor across various parsers and data handlers to utilize the new
validations.
- Update error messages for better clarity and troubleshooting.
