The Log Parser takes a log file as input and returns a list of webpages, ordered by visits and by unique views.

Clone the repository and run the following command to install all the dependencies:

$ bundle install  

You may need to change the permissions on parser.rb as follows:

chmod +x parser.rb

To run RSpec (with coverage) followed by Rubocop run script:

$ ./scripts/tdd.test

As the exact output of the supplied webserver.log file is not known, the feature test runs using a smaller known set of data provided in ./data/feature_test.log.

(All input data is stored in the ./data directory.)

The feature test can be run using:

rspec spec/features/parser_spec.rb

Based on the test data:

/about 061.945.150.735
/about/2 184.123.665.067
/about/2 184.123.665.067

The feature test expects the following output:

./parser.rb ./data/feature_test.log
/home 9 visits
/about/2 5 visits
/contact 5 visits
/about 1 visit

/home 6 unique views
/contact 5 unique views
/about/2 2 unique views
/about 1 unique view

• The script prints visits followed by unique views
• Sub-directories are considered separate entries
• If two entries have the same count, they're listed in alphabetical order
• IP addresses have leading zeros

• Validate log entries are correct
• Provide option to specify path depth to be counted
• Allow for IP addresses without leading zeros
• Allow user to specify visits or unique views
• Allow multiple log files as input
