I’ve bulk created PRs to convert the average_run_time
field in the track config.json
file from a float
to an int
.
There are two reasons for this change:
- Having the average run time as a float gives the impression of being exact, whereas the actual run time wildly varies due to a wide variety of reasons (e.g. how busy it is on the server). That fractional component will almost never actually conform the real situation.
- jq is often used to work with track config.json config files (e.g. to add elements to it), and it will remove any trailing .0 fractional part from a number, which caused configlet lint to fail. Those JQ scripts then have to work around this by manually adding .0 to it.
These PR have been created as a draft and we will automatically merge them next week once the new configlet
release is out.
