[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Is the Refactoring module a core module?

Hi, Right now almost all func tests fail to delete pages when they do getUtil().deletePage(…). They fail with: Caused by: org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Can't find descriptor for the component [role = [interface org.xwiki.job.Job] hint = [delete]] The reason is that since XWIKI-12268 the Delete action cannot work if the Refactoring module isn't bundled, which makes the Refactoring module a core module. And this module is not part of the core modules ATM. I’ve added it to the PackageMojo for now but we need to decide what to do. Personally I’ve always viewed Refactoring as optional and advanced features. I don’t consider basic delete, basic copy and basic rename/move as refactoring options. However there are some parts of them that are refactorings. For example when Renaming, also check for wiki pages having the renamed page as parent and updating them or updating wiki links in pages. So we need to decide if: * We consider the Refactoring module as core. * Introduce a new module and move some of the core actions such as delete, move, etc to it and keep the refactoring module for non-core refactoring * Split the refactoring into basic refactorings and advanced ones. Have basic delete, copy, rename + advanced options for them separately * Others? WDYT? Still hesitating on my side. Thanks -Vincent
