# OSE Developer Test
Programmatic solution to the [OSE Developer Test](https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Developer_Test).
* [Requirements](#requirements)
* [Pre-Requisites](#pre-requisites)
* [Usage](#usage)
* [Dependencies](#dependencies)
* [Limitations](#limitations)
* [Future Development](#future-development)
## Requirements
* Import 8 hole tubing from OSE Part Library and build a cube
* Fasten a bolt through one of the corners with a nut
* Pocket initials into any face of any tube
## Pre-Requisites
Download Tubing Library by running the following shell script:
```sh
./download-tubing-library.sh
```
This should create a `Tubing Library` directory inside the `ose-developer-test` directory.
## Usage
Import `ose-developer-test.FCMacro` into FreeCAD.
## Dependencies
### FreeCAD Version Information
```
OS: Linux
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit

```
### Fasteners Workbench
This macro depends on the [Fasteners Workbench](https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_FastenersWB) and was tested with commit [ab74422](https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_FastenersWB/commit/ab74422090ae7faf17f009d9b736a31de98875d3).
## Limitations
* Fasteners Workbench must be loaded in the FreeCAD GUI before executing the macro; otherwise you'll get the following error:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "path/to/ose-developer-test.FCMacro", line 345, in
main()
File "path/to/ose-developer-test.FCMacro", line 45, in main
create_bolt_and_nut_through_corner_of_cube(last_tube)
File "path/to/ose-developer-test.FCMacro", line 146, in create_bolt_and_nut_through_corner_of_cube
FreeCADGui.runCommand('FSISO4014')
: No such command 'FSISO4014'
```
* Selecting different tubing from the tubing library (e.g. `7 hole tubing.fcstd`) doesn't properly align the bolt and nut through corner of cube
## Future Development
Future development may include:
* Allow users to select which tubing to create the cube with through the FreeCAD GUI (see [Limitations](#limitations))
* Parameterize initials and allow a user to enter their initials in the FreeCAD GUI
* This would likely involve using FreeCAD's Text feature rather than using the Sketcher workbench to manually layout geometries and constraints as suggested by OSE
