Publishing the Spotify Playlist Maker, Creating a Developer Toolkit, and Initiating NanoVault

Overview

Today was focused on finalizing the Spotify Playlist Maker, building out a custom Developer Toolkit, and laying the foundation for NanoVault, a blockchain-integrated security toolkit.

While making progress, I also encountered a test failure after pushing the final files, which needs troubleshooting. The Bash installation scripts were also implemented for quick environment setup, making it easier to configure software dependencies.
these scripts can be found in notes/terminal —

1. Publishing the Spotify Playlist Maker Package

Goal: Make the project easily installable and maintainable.

• Successfully published the package on crates.io.
  

• Verified installation with:

  cargo install spotify_playlist_maker  

• Updated README.md with:

  • Installation instructions.
    
  • Improved formatting for better readability.

Current Issue:

• A test failed after the last push.
  
• Investigating whether it’s related to dependency changes, API updates, or CI/CD misconfiguration.
  
• Running cargo test locally to reproduce the issue.

2. Refining Documentation & CI/CD Workflow

Goal: Improve clarity and automation.

• Ensured GitHub Actions CI workflow correctly targets the spotify_playlist_maker directory.
  
• Committed and pushed all changes to GitHub, ensuring the latest version is up-to-date.
  
• Started researching GitHub Actions for automating version bumps and releases.

3. Creating the Developer Toolkit

Goal: Build an environment setup script to streamline software installations.

• Developed a Bash-based Developer Toolkit to automate system setup for development projects.
  
• Toolkit includes:
  • Rust and Cargo installation prompts.
    
  • Git and CLI tool installation.
    
  • Custom environment variable setup.
    
  • Project directory structuring.
    
• Scripts are designed for quick deployment on Linux/macOS environments.

Example of the Bash installation prompt:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Installing Rust Developer Toolkit..."

# Install Rust
if ! command -v rustc &> /dev/null
then
    echo "Rust not found, installing..."
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
else
    echo "Rust is already installed."
fi

# Install Git
if ! command -v git &> /dev/null
then
    echo "Git not found, installing..."
    sudo apt-get install git -y
else
    echo "Git is already installed."
fi

4. NanoVault: Blockchain Security & DevSecOps Project

Goal: Establish project structure and plan blockchain integration.

Project Setup

• Created NanoVault project structure:

  main/rust_projects/nanovault/
  ├── src/
  ├── tests/
  ├── docs/
  ├── scripts/
  ├── Cargo.toml
  ├── .gitignore
  ├── .env.example

• Added initial Rust files (main.rs, Cargo.toml).
  

• Configured .gitignore and .env.example for secure environment management.

Git Repository Initialization

• Ran git init inside nanovault/.
  
• Created first commit with initial project setup.
  
• Prepared repository for remote push.

Project Documentation

• Created SETUP.md with installation and customization guide.
  
• Documented API endpoints, configuration, testing, and deployment steps.

Installing NanoVault Setup, Cleaning Up Files, and Debugging New Release

Quick Update

• Installed nanovault-setup.sh, the setup script built earlier in the day.
  
• Cleaning up files and making final adjustments to the project structure.
  
• While finalizing the Spotify Playlist Maker package, I noticed a failure in docs.rs.
  • The issue required updating the lib code on main and adding a lib.rs file.
    
• Ended the night debugging issues in the new release, most likely syntax errors in the latest push.

Will pick up where I left off tomorrow and continue troubleshooting the release.

5. Next Steps

Spotify Playlist Maker

• Debug and resolve failing test case in CI/CD pipeline.
  
• Expand documentation with more usage examples and troubleshooting tips.
  
• Automate versioning and releases with GitHub Actions.

Developer Toolkit

• Add support for Windows installation scripts.
  
• Integrate automatic dependency checks before installation.

NanoVault

• Expand src/api/ with:
  • file_scan.rs (Security scanning implementation).
    
  • storage.rs (Blockchain file storage integration).
    
• Implement blockchain file storage using IPFS or Arweave.
  
• Set up CI/CD automation for security scanning.

Final Thoughts

Publishing the Spotify Playlist Maker was a key milestone, but now I need to debug a test failure after the last push. Creating the Developer Toolkit is a step toward automating my workflow, making it easier to set up and manage software environments.

At the same time, NanoVault is now structured and ready for blockchain integration, marking the next phase in building a security-first development toolkit.

The focus now shifts to fixing test issues, improving automation, and integrating security features across projects.
