Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-notifications] About the GSOC mentors email address

You should not try to directly send mails to the mentors and instead communicate using general communication channels in which mentors will answer you. The best to to start start by reading https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines.

[xwiki-devs] Status on Docker + CI + Clover - Outstanding tasks
by Vincent Massol 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Hi devs, I wanted to keep up to date on the list of stuff that we still need to do in the domain of Docker, CI & Clover, specifically on the domains I’ve been working on. All the items below are items I need to work on (but any help is welcome of course). 1) Clover pipeline job to modify to add docker-based functional tests: right now the global TPC is going to decrease because of MenuIT and MailIT. This needs to be fixed ASAP before we convert too many tests. 2) Also fix Clover pipeline job in general which hasn’t passed since the 22nd of October 3) Execute Docker-based tests in main pipeline job for the default config as otherwise we might have the platform job succeeding but it’ll miss several functional tests! Option 1: execute Browser outside of docker as option, Option 2: add more docker-based agents. For the moment, we might be able to run the docker tests on agent4. 4) Screenshot attachment on UI test failures to fix in pipeline job 5) Flicker recognition on tests to fix in pipeline job 6) Fix the ClosedChannelExcption/InterruptedException in our CI 7) Research running Jenkins agents in docker images and make our Docker test work (docker on docker). Once this works, set up 2 or 2 agents on a4. And then move all other agents to this. 8) Still need to apply the Clover strategy we agreed on (global TPC needs to not go down during releases). 9) Find strategy to move Docker image creation in platform build Let me know if you have questions. Thanks -Vincent PS: I didn’t list fixing tests (such and flicker fixing or WCAG test fixing) since this not infra and I wanted to limit this list to infra.

Hi devs, I believe one very important action to improve active installs is to improve installation of XWiki. I’ve started listing ideas at https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/InstallationImprovementIde… Let me know what you think. I think I’d like to propose to work on this aspect after 11.2 is out. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Introduce a new table BackLinks for solving issues on wiki farms
by Simon Urli 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hi everyone, we currently have some issues when performing refactoring operations on pages that are linked from another wiki page. See: https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8346 The current implementation of the links is to keep the local name of the current document and to create a reference containing the name of the wiki for the target document, only if it's a document from another wiki. So basically if I have a wiki:A pointing to subwiki:B, I will get a link stored in DB of "wiki", containing: - fullName: A - link: subwiki:B This forces us to currently iterate over all wikis, when we refactor a page to edit all the links on the farm. That's why we currently have an option which is disabled by default: i.e. we don't update backlinks on a farm by default. In order to allow such operation with less performance issues, I propose to add a new table dedicated to store the backlinks: basically this table would store the reversed information as Links, in the target DB. If I take back my example, the table backlinks of "wiki" would be empty, and I get in the table backlinks of "subwiki", the following information: - fullName: B - backlink: wiki:A Then we could load all backlinks of a document just by looking in one table. The impact on performance would be the necessity to update links in two tables when performing a save, but we can mitigate this by first loading the links so we only update what needs to be (currently we delete and recreate all links, each time...). IMO it would really ease the understanding of links and backlinks, solve the issues on farm and help us to maintain this code. + it doesn't break any legacy since we keep the existing Link table. WDYT? Simon -- Simon Urli Software Engineer at XWiki SAS simon.urli(a)xwiki.com More about us at http://www.xwiki.com

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Changes to remove Dashboard, Crypto, Macros, Rendering entries in the Navigation Panels
by Vincent Massol 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hi devs, On a standard XS, if you show hidden document you see some entries that you shouldn’t see and that should be hidden. See screenshot. Another problem is that clicking on the Dashboard, Crypto, Macros, Rendering links lead to non-existing pages. I’m this proposing to: 1) Introduce a xwiki-platform-crypto-ui modules with a single Crypto.Webhome page and some one liner explaining what this space is about. 2) Introduce a xwiki-platform-rendering-wikimacro-ui module with a single Macros.WebHome page and some one liner explaining what this space is about. It makes sense to have it under xwiki-platform-rendering-wikimacro since it’s about providing a location for wiki macros. 3) Add a Rendering.WebHome page inside xwiki-platform-rendering-ui to explain what this space is about. The module is there and it’s just missing this page. BTW an alternative is to modify the Navigation panel algorithm to exclude spaces not having a top level WebHome page too. @Marius: any reason we’re not doing this already? By default the Navigation panel hides top level pages that are not meant to be modified so this will remove Crypto, Macros & Rendering. 4) For Dashboard it’s a bit more complex. Ideally we would refactor Dashboard.WebHome to include a new Dashboard.WikiDashboard page that would contain the current content of Dashboard.WebHome. Thus the home page would appear as not modifiable and not appear in the Navigation panel. However, since users can have modified Dashboard.WebHome, this would cause an upgrade merge conflict. Thus, instead, I propose to do what we do for the Sandbox page and instead add Dashboard to the Exclude list of the Navigation panel. WDYT? Note: I’m going to do 4) right now since it’s a no-brainer. Longer term ========= This is *not* part of the proposal but we need to start a thread again about this and start doing something about it: Right now we have apps/extensions creating pages under the top level root. I don’t think this is good at all and we should reserve the top level root for user content. It would be much better to have a place under “XWiki”, such as “XWiki.Extensions.<extension name>.<sub spaces>.<pages>” where each extension could put its content. We already started discussing this. The past thread(s) needs to be unearthed and the discussion resumed. Thanks -Vincent
