[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Failing build when deprecated APIs are used in scripts?
by Vincent Massol 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hi devs, I'd like to discuss about introducing a checker in the tests to fail the test if there's a warning message about a deprecated APIs being used in scripts. For example: ``` 23:59:28.308 [main] INFO org.xwiki.test.ui.TestDebugger - GroupIT-addUserAndSubgroupToGroup started 23:59:32.593 [Exec Stream Pumper] ERROR o.x.t.i.XWikiLogOutputStream - 2019-03-28 23:59:32,593 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?xpage=getgroups…] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.rightsmanager.RightsManagerPluginApi.countAllMembersNamesForGroup] in 21:/templates/getgroups.vm@62,37 23:59:35.824 [Exec Stream Pumper] ERROR o.x.t.i.XWikiLogOutputStream - 2019-03-28 23:59:35,824 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?xpage=getgroups…] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.rightsmanager.RightsManagerPluginApi.countAllMembersNamesForGroup] in 18:/templates/getgroups.vm@62,37 23:59:41.349 [Exec Stream Pumper] ERROR o.x.t.i.XWikiLogOutputStream - 2019-03-28 23:59:41,348 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?xpage=getgroups…] WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.rightsmanager.RightsManagerPluginApi.countAllMembersNamesForGroup] in 21:/templates/getgroups.vm@62,37 23:59:58.503 [main] INFO org.xwiki.test.ui.TestDebugger - GroupIT-addUserAndSubgroupToGroup passed ``` Rationale: * This adds warnings in the xwiki logs when users navigate to those pages which isn’t nice. * It also helps reducing the number of deprecated methods we use (I have the feeling this is not reducing) and helps us move towards being able to move the deprecated code to legacy. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improve our Test Coverage strategy (TAKE 3)
by Vincent Massol 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hi devs, I remember that we talked about this new global test coverage strategy but I don’t recall where and I couldn’t find an email about it. So I’m reposting the strategy that I’ve just finished implementing. * Every day the Clover job runs: https://ci.xwiki.org/view/Tools/job/Clover/ * It generates a global coverage report and compares it automatically with the first report generated for the current version * If the global coverage is reduced, then: ** an email is sent to notifications(a)xwiki.org containing the report ** the job is marked as FAILING ** A failing badge is added to the job history ** A red large text is added to the job page and a link to the report is sent * Developers MUST fix the global coverage before we can release a version, so the it means the global coverage must not be reduced during a version. * The RM should check the CI (already part of his chores) and the “Recommended Failing” view on ci.xwiki.org must not have errors or failures (so that includes pitest job and clover job). Any comments? Does that seem ok to you? If you confirm it’s ok, I’ll document it on https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Testing/TestCoverage/ Note: A few minutes ago an email has been sent since the global coverage has been reduced compared to yesterday. See http://maven.xwiki.org/site/clover/20190321/XWikiReport-20190320-0128-20190… So we need to fix it now. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [WCAG] Reference validator
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

Hi devs, I've started to analyze the 971 tests failing on webstandards related to the WCAG validation. I plan to create issues in order for us to fix the errors. The problem I have is that we were validating against the Dutch Guidelines validation tool (previously http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/testing) but this tool has been discontinued by the Dutch Ministry in July 2017, see https://www.digitoegankelijk.nl/onderwerpen/testen/nieuws/2017/04/25/gewoon… The difference between the W3C WCAG rules (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/) and the Dutch Guidelines was that the latest were more strict. Also WCAG specification advanced to version 2.1 in Jun 2018. Since I don't have much experience in the way we've implemented the validator, I'm asking if anyone has any idea of another validator we could replace this one with (in case we want this). Else, I will try to investigate and find a replacement for a new reference validator. Currently the plan is to fix our code to match the current definitions and in cases that are not covered by W3C WCAG and where we want to add "exceptions" I test also online on: * https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/accessibility-checker/ and * http://wave.webaim.org/ Let me know if you have any objections to the 2 tools mentioned above. I've started the investigation at: https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/WCAG10x we can discuss each error and "exception" on the individual issues. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [Feedback] Installation choices
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hi Devs, I'm curious what you think about this direction for the Download / Install page on xwiki.org: Iteration 1 https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Install/LDJEasierInstallationFl… Changes: * Download renamed to Install * Form at the beginning to select the version, OS, type and package * Depending on the user selection, there is an option to Download the package, or you just get Installation steps (personalized for each option selected). I've iterated currently just for the ZIP package (for Demo+Mac), but imagine something similar for all the other packages. What do you think? Should I continue in this direction? Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] asking for help, issues for a team
by Jeremi Kádár 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Dear XWiki developers, I and my friends learn Computer Science at the University Of Szeged. One of our obligatory task in this semester to participate in an open source project. We decide to choose a project so our team wouldn't be randomized and we don't have to risk that we'll be put together with students who too lazy to work. I've found XWiki and seen that this would be an excellent choice since it's well known and has some history behind itself and the project itself is really interesting too. We've read the different guides about how to participate, registrated to jira, github, devmails... Our problem is that we couldn't find an issue / work item with the following criterias: - no one's working on it || not assigned ( - it's beginner friendly, not have to know *everything *from A to B about the project code ) Each of us have to take an issued or if there is 2-3 issue big enough, then on each of the issues 2-3 members of our team would work on. We have to showcase the first milestone next week, until then we should get to known to the project and get issues / task. We would be grateful if you could help us! Thanking you in advance... Sorry for the language mistakes. I'm writing this letter down in Hungarian as well, just in case: Kedves XWiki fejlesztők, Én és a barátaim Programtervező Informatikára járunk a Szegedi Tudományegyetemen. Ebben a félévben az egyik kötelező feladatunk részt venni egy nyílt forráskódú projekt fejlesztésében. Úgy döntöttünk, hogy mi választjuk a projektet, mivel így a csapatunk nem véletlenszerű lesz kiválasztva és nem fogunk olyanokkal összekerülni, akik nem akarnak dolgozni. Rátaláltam az XWiki-re és tökéletes választásnak találtam, mivel ismert, van háttere és maga a projekt is nagyon érdekes. Elolvastuk a különböző leírásokat és regisztráltunk githubra, jirara, fejlesztői e-mailekre. Az a problémánk, hogy nem találtunk issuet / feladatot az alábbi feltételek mellett: - senki sem dolgozik rajta || senkin sincs még rajta ( - kezdőknek is jó, nem kell *mindent* tudni hozzá a projekt forráskódjáról ) Mindannyiunknak kell felvennie egy issuet vagy ha van 2-3 nagyobb issue, akkor mindegyiken a csapatból 2-3 ember is dolgozhatna. Az első mérföldkövet jövő héten kell bemutatnunk, addig meg kell ismernünk a projektet és szereznünk kell feladatot is. Hálásak lennénk, ha tudnátok segíteni! Előre is köszönöm...
