Spotify Playlist Maker – CI/CD Success & Portfolio Restructuring

Overview

After a long day of folder restructuring, debugging, and refining tests, the Spotify Playlist Maker project has officially passed all CI/CD checks. The GitHub Actions pipeline is now stable, and the project has received its green passing badge, confirming all tests are working correctly.

At the same time, progress was made in organizing the overall portfolio, ensuring that software development and graphic arts projects are structured properly for future deployment.

1. Finalizing Folder Restructuring

Goal: Ensure a clean and scalable project directory.

• Organized project files under main/rust_projects/spotify_playlist_maker.
  
• Verified that .gitignore properly excludes environment variables and build artifacts.
  
• Checked that Cargo dependencies remained intact after moving files.

2. Debugging & Achieving CI/CD Success

Goal: Resolve all test failures and ensure GitHub Actions pipeline passes.

• Ran full test suite:

  cargo test  

• Fixed issues related to environment variable loading and API request handling.
  

• Pushed latest working changes and verified GitHub Actions:

  git add .  
  git commit -m "Fix CI tests and finalize project structure"  
  git push origin main  

• Checked GitHub Actions workflow under Repository → Actions.
  

• Result: ✅ CI/CD pipeline is fully passing with a green badge.

3. Next Steps for Portfolio Integration

Goal: Plan the next phase of portfolio development.

• Evaluate Zola as a static site generator for showcasing projects.
  
• Consider hosting options (GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, AWS Free Tier).
  
• Begin drafting content for the portfolio, integrating both software and design work.

Final Status: CI/CD Success & Next Focus on Portfolio

✅ Spotify Playlist Maker now has a stable CI/CD pipeline with all tests passing.
✅ Project structure is clean and ready for future updates.
✅ Portfolio planning is underway, with a focus on integrating software and design work.

Next Steps:

• Begin building the portfolio site and structuring content.
  
• Decide on the best hosting and deployment strategy.
  
• Expand test coverage to further improve Spotify Playlist Maker reliability.

Today’s focus was on stability and structure, and with a fully passing pipeline, the foundation is set for moving forward.
