Devlog

Writing documentation is a good way to check whether the code you wrote actually works. I already found four bugs while documenting the project.

For example, I forgot to pass the redirect URI in a function in main.py, even though it was already implemented in internal.py.

I also fixed a bug where notifications could sometimes contain an older value.

The dashboard has been moved into a separate file.

Snapshots currently have a problem. They are very similar to the Car class, so I’ll debug it and explain what the issue was in the next devlog.

Companion app

The companion app is meant to showcase the differences between my implementation and the official Volvo Demo Car Sandbox. It also makes testing easier, since you don’t have to write your own application just to try the API.

I had a problem with the built-in LibreSSL because one of the dependencies didn’t support it. I had to reinstall Python so that uv would detect the new OpenSSL installation.

After that, I was finally able to start the app and get it working.

Auto-login and automatic creation of a test car are now working.

There’s is no css but I will do it after logic works

One more thing: the reason the devlogs have been quieter recently is that I’ve been dealing with some administrative paperwork. I’ll get back to posting them more regularly once that’s sorted out.
