[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Disallow / and \ in page names by default

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Because of tomcat and because tomcat is by far the most used container for xwiki and because we also bundle tomcat in the debian and docker dsitributions, I think we should disallow / and \ in page names by default. It's causing too much trouble for users. We keep having users posting problems and for one user who post a problem there are 100 who don't. The latest one: https://forum.xwiki.org/t/please-help-broken-link-routing-cannot-open-page-… Implementation idea: * Offer an extension point in the create page UI to allow plugging some cleaning algorithm * Provide the \ and / cleaning algorithm by default * Handle backward compat. Find ways to not break existing users who are having / and \ in page names. For example we could imagine a property in xwiki.properties that we would set to point to the hint of the / and \ cleaner component. Thus existing users would need to voluntarily upgrade their xwiki.properties to have it if they want it. We would need to provide some script to convert existing pages with / and \ too probably. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [contrib] Page Preview Popover extension request

by Stéphane Laurière

Hi all, I would like to contribute an extension that will display page preview popovers when hovering wiki links, similarly to what MediaWiki offers: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Previews https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/05/09/page-previews-documentation/ Its name could be 'application-page-preview-popover' - what do you think? As discussed with Caty yesterday, the extension will use the Bootstrap popovers. Should you have any need or suggestion, please let me know. If the name is ok, can I ask you for the creation of a repository and JIRA project? Stéphane -- Stéphane Laurière XWiki www.xwiki.com @slauriere

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XS 10.2 and 10.3 roadmaps - Bug fix releases

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, We have already started defining the roadmap for XS 10.2, see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Roadmaps/#HXWiki11.2 However, it’s come to my realization that we’re having a lot of stability issue on XS these days. I see plenty of users messages on the forum about users failing to use XWiki or to upgrade XWiki and having problems in general. I have the feeling that our quality has regressed. If we check our number of bugs created vs number of bugs closed for 2018, we can clearly see that we’re loosing the battle since Feb/March 2018, see: https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10352#Created-vs-… Since Feb/March we’re at 820 vs 963 which means we have a relative difference of 143 bugs. Note that the BFD sessions are not enough and they don’t close a lot of bugs anymore (this can be seen on https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWiki%20Days). I believe that XWiki’s stability and reducing user frustration for installation/upgrades is a key aspect and it’s one of the biggest possible contributor to Active Installs. Thus I’m proposing to devote 2 releases (i.e. 2 months) to focus on bug fixing and thus on XWiki stability, namely * XS 10.2 * XS 10.3 Note that this is something that I’ve already discussed with committers from XWiki SAS. Please voice your opinion if you disagree (or even if you agree, always good to get confirmation we’re going in the right direction ;)). Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New Functional test best practice for docker-based tests

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Now that JUnit 5.4.0 is out we have test ordering. I propose the following best practices for TC-based docker tests: @UITest @TestMethodOrder(OrderAnnotation.class) public class MenuIT { @Test @Order(1) public void verifyMenuInApplicationsIndex(TestUtils setup) { ... } @Test @Order(2) public void verifyMenuCreationInLeftPanelWithCurrentWikiVisibility(TestUtils setup) { ... } @Test @Order(3) public void verifyMenuIsAvailableInAdministration(TestUtils setup) throws Exception { … } Instead of the current: @Test public void verifyMenu(TestUtils setup) throws Exception { verifyMenuInApplicationsIndex(setup); verifyMenuCreationInLeftPanelWithCurrentWikiVisibility(setup); verifyMenuIsAvailableInAdministration(setup); } Pros: * Easier to run each test * Easier to debug and view recorded video for a specific failing test * More in sync with JUnit’s practices * It’s still a scenario and thus doesn’t incur penalty of extra test setup Cons: * Starts and stop the VNC docker container for each test. It takes between 1 and 2s to start the VNC container and the stop (i.e. video recording save) should be the same as before. So I think it’s worth it. Out of 3mn, 3-6 more seconds for 3 tests is not too much (between 2% and 3% more). WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improve our Test Coverage strategy (TAKE 3)

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, After TAKE 2 (see http://markmail.org/message/owtyhkmrz4tcbymn ), and after analyzing several modules (I analyzed about 4-5 in total), I think we should improve a bit the strategy to make it usable and applicable. Lessons learnt ============ * It takes a lot of time to analyze a single global tpc drop (every time it takes me around 2 hours) * In general the results of the analysis are not that great. There are often “good enough” reasons for the drop. It’s often a lack of unit tests and code that is exercised by functional tests but the path has changed for various reasons. * I find the ratio of time to spend on the analysis vs result to be too low. * In the end what’s important is that our global TPC continues to grow New Strategy =========== * We run the Clover Jenkins pipeline every night (between 11PM-8AM) * The pipeline sends an email whenever the new report has its global TPC going down when compared with the baseline (vs one or more modules had their TPC lowered in TAKE 2) * The baseline report is the report generated just after each XS release. This means that we keep the same baseline during a XS release ** Technically it means that the pipeline will update the latest.txt file (which contains the clover report timestamp) when it notices a version change * We add a step in the Release Plan Template to have the report passing before we can release. * The RM is in charge of a release from day 1 to the release day (already the case), and is also in charge of making sure that the global coverage job failures get addressed before the release day so that we’re ready on the release day. * Implementation detail: don’t send a failure email when there are failing tests in the build, to avoid false positives WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] On Global TPC report and failing tests for 20190202

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, FYI I’ve analyzed the job log for http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190202/XWikiReport-20190101-2330-20190… and found that: * The report only shows 3 failing tests (excluding WCAG+validation) when in practice there are 44 failing tests… * Some of them are being we’re missing the clover jar in some classpath * Others are flickers * Others are failing because of the clover instrumentation The list of failing tests can be seen at http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190202/clover-commons+rendering+platfo… Note that the numbers there are not correct. See also https://massol.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/GlobalLocalCoverage#HAdditio… So there’s work to do before we can have a good global coverage value we can believe in. On short: we should be better than what is indicated. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Analysis of TPC loss on xwiki-commons-job since 2019-01-01

by Vincent Massol

Hi Thomas and all, I’ve just done the analysis of the xwiki-commons-job TPC loss displayed on http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190108/XWikiReport-20190101-2330-20190… (and it’s still the case today on http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190202/XWikiReport-20190101-2330-20190…). xwiki-commons-job 84.3812 84.2416 -0.1395 -0.0002 There were only 2 classes that have had changes in TPC: * DefaultJobProgress - lowered TPC * AbstractRequest - increased TPC But there’s more lowering than increasing globally which is why it’s in red. Specifically the lowering happened in 2 places: * http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190108/clover-commons+rendering+platfo… vs http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190101/clover-commons+rendering+platfo… * http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190108/clover-commons+rendering+platfo… vs http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190101/clover-commons+rendering+platfo… Note that no source code changed in the job module. Conclusions: * It was hard to track and I need to improve the report to show a package level difference too and not just modules, at least for modules going down. Actually, even better would be a class level difference too for modules going down. * In this case, I believe we had some bugs in XWiki somewhere that led to hitting the "Could not find any matching step for source [{}]. Ignoring EndStepProgress.” error. Could someone confirm that, it rings a bell to me? * It also shows there’s no module level tests (ie unit tests) that go on in this IF and it would be good to add one to prove that we get a log when we have an end without a start. It’s interesting because this is a use case where our global TPC went down because we fixed a bug (and thus indirectly we enter into less code). It mostly highlights that we don’t tests this case and we should. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Update objects on class rename

by Marius Dumitru Florea

Hi devs, I'm working on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-1660 (I need it for https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13352) and I'd like to change the page rename job (from refactoring module) to update the existing objects when a class is renamed *if the "Update links" options is checked*. Of course, we could add a new option (e.g. "Update objects") but: * it complicates the rename UI (too many options) * I think most of the users understand the current "Update links" option as "update the places where this page is *used*". I don't think it makes sense to have separate options (at least at the UI level) for things like "Update macro calls" or "Update image includes". * I don't see why you would want to update the back-links but not the objects (or the other way around). If we agree on using a single option ("Update links") then the next questions are: * Is there a better name? I think "Update links" is a good name for simple users so I would keep it. Another option is "Update references" but it has a special meaning for XWiki developers. * Should we update the hint for the "Update links" option? I think we should, but only for advanced users, since they should be aware of the implications of renaming a class. Simple users are not aware of the existence of objects, most probably, so I wouldn't complicate their lives. The final question is whether we should keep the rename job question about classes. I think we should. The reason we added it is because renaming a class is currently dangerous. Updating the objects makes it a bit less dangerous because the data is preserved, but classes are often used in scripts (e.g. a live table) and those scripts are not updated so there's a high chance that something will not work correctly after the class rename. WDYT? Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Get rid of Activity Stream and the Watchlist

by Guillaume Delhumeau

Dear developers, Now that we consider notifications as an achieved replacement for both Activity Stream and the Watchlist, I propose to stop maintaining them and to move them into the "attic" section. You need to know that we had a dependency on the Activity Stream API, as the only implementation of the Event Stream, on which the Notifications are based. So to get rid of this dependency (the code is not using our component system and is not well tested), I have written a new implementation of the Event Stream that I have called "Event Stream Store". It's fully backward compatible with the old implementation, since it is using the same Database schema. In practice, I re-used some pieces of Activity Stream that I have modified to fit into components. For more information, see: https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-16052 So my proposal is this one: - use the new store in 11.1 - stop bundle Watchlist and AS in 11.1 - move Watchlist and AS into "attic" in 11.2 Thanks you, -- Guillaume Delhumeau (guillaume.delhumeau(a)xwiki.com) Research & Development Engineer at XWiki SAS Committer on the XWiki.org project

[xwiki-devs] [contrib] Livetable exporter macro extension request

by Stéphane Laurière

Hi everyone, I'd like to propose an evolution of the livetable Excel export macro [1] so as to support CSV export, and possibly ODS in the future. I'm adding Anca and Guilhaume as original authors (and we discussed the idea with Anca). Since the existing macro name would not match with this new functional perimeter, my proposal would be to create a new macro that we could call "livetable exporter macro". This macro would be at first a copy of the existing one in order to keep the source code history tree, and then it would evolve on its own. Hence my question: would you approve the creation of a "macro-livetable-exporter" repository on github.com/xwiki-contrib, and an LTEXP project in JIRA?

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] XWiki is applying for GSoC 2019. Proposals and mentors needed!

by Eduard Moraru

Hello fellow XWiki community members, This year XWiki is planning to participate once more at Google's Summer of Code [1]. The organization registration period has already started (15th January) and the deadline is on the 6th February [2] (just 1 week left). 1. We need to provide by then a list of proposals and assign mentors for the students that are going to implement them. I would like to ask everybody that wants to participate as a mentor from the XWiki organization to review the proposals [3] list (we have just 5 proposed projects up to now) and add as many interesting proposals as possible. The proposals can be either new, or they can be revived from previous years. Just navigate to the previous years [4], find the proposal you like and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project, update it's description if needed and wait for the student applications to start pouring :) 2. We also need to submit the actual application [5] of the XWiki organization to participate to the GSoC 2019 project so I would also like to ask you to review it so that we have a better chance of being selected into the program. 3. If you feel that you would like to help on improving XWiki's GSoC guides and application forms, please find tips for students [6] on XWiki's GSoC page, the student application form [7] and the lessons learned [8] from previous years participations. Thanks for your help, Eduard ---- [1] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ [2] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline [3] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HProposedProjects28… [4] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/WebHome#HPreviousGSo… [5] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/OrganizationApplicat… <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/OrganizationApplica…> [6] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines> [7] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/student+application+… <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/student%20applicati…> [8] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/LessonsLearned <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/LessonsLearned>
