Fourier series for $f(x) = 1+x$ for $-1<x<0$, $f(x) = 1$ for $0<x<1$

Fourier series for $$ f(x) = \begin{cases} 1 + x \quad&\text{ for }\quad {-1}<x<0\\ 1 \quad&\text{ for }\quad 0<x<1 \end{cases} $$

Have tried working this through and seem to get a different solution each time. Found an online calculator to aid, but resolves for different $a_n$, $b_n$ values than I get.

Totally lost and not sure where I'm going wrong :(

$a_n = \frac{2}{P}\int_{P} s(x)\cdot \cos\left(2\pi x \tfrac{n}{P}\right)\, dx$

$b_n = \frac{2}{P}\int_{P} s(x)\cdot \sin\left(2\pi x \tfrac{n}{P}\right)\, dx$.

$a_n= \int_{-1}^{0}((1+x).cos(\pi x n))dx + \int_{0}^{1}cos(\pi x n)dx$

$= 1+(\frac{1}{\pi n})^2 + \frac{2}{\pi n}sin(n \pi)+ (\frac{1}{\pi n})^2 cos(n \pi)= \frac{1+(-1)^n}{(n \pi)^2}+\frac{\pi n+2sin(\pi n)}{(n \pi)}$

Use $b_n$ expression to find it similarly.
