[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Rerun flaky tests several times?
by Vincent Massol 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi devs, I was looking for a rerun optin in JUnit5 or Surefire but it seems it doesn’t exist for Junit5: * https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/issues/1558 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1584 However, there’s an extension to do that: * https://github.com/artsok/rerunner-jupiter Also WIP for JUnit Pioneer: * https://github.com/junit-pioneer/junit-pioneer/pull/110 So my proposal FTM is to try https://github.com/artsok/rerunner-jupiter and to start putting a repeat of 3 for JUnit5 tests that we know are flaky. For JUnit4 tests we could simply use: * https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/rerun-fail… Note that this would also allow us to correct flaky tests that don’t set up the initial conditions (fixture) correctly. Second note: This is not an endorsement that we should accept flaky tests. They’re a plague and we need to work on them and fix them. This is just a momentary workaround to identify how flaky a test is and to try to have a better solution towards moving to a Continuous Delivery solution. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] API breakage - Extension point org.xwiki.platform.html.head
by Stéphane Laurière 06 Jun '19

06 Jun '19

Hi devs, I'm opening this vote in order to propose an API breakage consisting in renaming the extension point "org.xwiki.platform.head" to "org.xwiki.platform.html.head". The former identifier was introduced too early by mistake in 11.1RC1 due to an omission by me, apologies, but it does not fit well because it does not self-explain that it targets the html head. Here is the extension point documentation page: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/ExtensionPoint/… As far as I know, there's just one public extension using this extension point for now, it's the OpenGraph Application, which already uses the new identifier: https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/OpenGraph%20Applicati… Further information about the change is available in the following pull request, which requires among other things that this vote passes: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/1115 Thanks to Caty for spotting the issue and the guidance on how to fix it, and to Simon and Vincent. Kind regards Stéphane -- Stéphane Laurière XWiki – https://xwiki.com

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Update database support strategy
by Vincent Massol 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Hi devs, We currently have https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DatabaseSupportStrategy However, it doesn’t say explicitly which versions we officially support: * For HSQLDB it says 2.3.3 which is wrong since the latest version is 2.4.1 * For MySQL it says 5.x but doesn’t specify which specific version(s) * Same for other DBs We cannot really support every versions since supporting means testing too. So what I propose: Question 1: definition * We say we support the latest stable version of the databases for a given version cycle ** For MySQL, it’s the latest of the 5.x cycle, which is 5.7.24 as of today (see https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/) ** For PostgreSQL, it’s the latest of the 9.x cycle, which is 9.6.10 as of today (see https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/) ** For Oracle, it’s the latest of the 11.x cycle, which is 11.2.0.4.0 as of today (see https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/in…) Question 2: review what we support * For MySQL I think we could also start supporting MySQL 8.x (ie the latest version of that cycle). We have an issue open for it currently: https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15215 * For PostgreSQL we could also start supporting versions 11.x (ie the latest version of that cycle) * For Oracle, we could also start supporting versions 12.x (ie the latest version of that cycle) Question 3: decide if we drop some support * Is there any cycle that we should support for? Right now I think that MySQL 5.x is still heavily used, same for postgreSQL 9.x I guess. Don’t know for Oracle. * Any idea? So WDYT about the 3 questions? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Remove not supported HBM files
by Vincent Massol 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Hi devs, Right now we bundle 3 HBM files for DBs we don’t support: derby, mssql and db2. So we can’t guarantee that they work and it’s possible they don’t anymore after the Hibernate upgrade. I propose to do the following: * Create a single repo in contrib to host them. hibernate-mappings-extra or something like that * Document how to install these mappings in the page for each of these DBs. For ex for DB2 it would be documented on https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Installation/…, etc. The only downside is that when we make chages to the HBM files we support we won’t make the same adjustements for these non supported DBs… OTOH we don’t support them... WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
