International ES sign-off testing day (next Tuesday/Wednesday)
by Brendan Gallagher 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Hello All - I am hoping that we could have a day next week where we are in irc channel #koha and do some testing of Elastic. Ideally target that to be Wednesday for NZ UTC +12 (iirc) and Tuesday morning for me. The idea is that we'll have Chris (rangi) in channel to look at problems and fix problems that day as we bring them up to him. Nick (kidclamp) from ByWater will also be present as he has done the most testing on our side. Ideally we'll have some ES installs setup - hopefully (we bywater will have 2 identical datasets - 1 running ES and 1 running zebra (but with the ES code installed))... More setups are welcome. We could hopefully get everything set well so that we could get a sign-off that day and get this into QA. Also another thought is that we edit a wiki-page so that we can list things that ES is doing already - what system preferences effect it etc. Thanks, Brendan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brendan A.

Failing tests
by Mark Tompsett 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

Greetings, I’m not understanding why http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_Master_D7/695/#showFailuresLink is so large. Granted, I’m on Debian 8, but only my TestBuilder failed last time I checked. I’ve been drop’ing my DB and creating a basic every sample installed DB for several tests lately. Any thoughts as to the cause? GPML, Mark Tompsett

The minified jquery-migrate-1.3.0.min.js is less than 10kb, so the download (here) is only 20ms (nothing cached), and wait time / latency would (most probably) be concurrent with the 13 other .js files (opac search.) I have no feeling one way or the other whether that trades off equitably with the ease of backwards compatibility... Best -- Paul

I think all your points are good ones. I do want to clarify one thing: > You are actually talking about adding another dependency. > Koha will depend on jQuery 1.7 and 1.12, and later 2.2 and 3.0. In this case when I talk about a dependency I mean for the end user, not for those of us managing files. I would prefer that there not be another file download slowing down the page. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
