Jenkins status
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi everyone, I've just noticed I might have not sent the required information to people polling jenkins, so here it goes. We've moved all jenkins tasks into docker containers, that are built using the different branches in the koha-testing-docker repository [1] The 'images' are built in jenkins itself [2] and then uploaded (by jenkins) into the Docker hub (the Docker official place to share/distribute Docker images). I took over the 'koha' organization name in the Docker hub (this guys are great!) [3]. The jenkins tasks have been renamed into Koha_{{ branch }}_D8, because we plan to start running the test suite against Stretch, so it will be _D9... This means the dashboard green/yellow/red icons informing the projects health are broken for now, but we shoudl fix it very soon. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. It is for a good cause :-D Thanks everyone for the patience PS As soon as I have a spare morning, I will document all this on the wiki.

Best place for test plans
by David Cook 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi all, I've been wondering about the best place to put test plans. I think traditionally we include them in our git commits, but I feel like it would be better to include them as standalone comments in Bugzilla. My reasoning is that finding test plans can be really difficult when you're scrolling back through numerous autogenerated per-commit comments. And if there is lots of rebasing or modifications, you wind up with a million test plans, so you can't even Ctrl + F really. I figure when a patch is ready for testing, the developer should write 1 comment containing all test plan instructions and post it to the bottom of Bugzilla. That way, testers can just Ctrl + F for test plan, find the lowest one, and just consider that in their testing. What do you all think?

REST api enhancement to ease development
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi, we've been involved in a small discussion about a way to generalize query parameters handling (with the focus on making it easier to write new endpoints, and repeat code less). In the process I declared some 'reserved' keywords that are clearly described on each related bug. I put things together from some of those conversations in bug 19410. This probably explains the dependencies: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=18731 Follow the dependencies to better track what's done so far. Here you can see it "in action" on the list_orders controller method: https://github.com/tomascohen/koha/blob/bug_18731_orders_endpoint/Koha/REST… And this is how the OpenAPI path definition looks like with the 'reserved' params: https://github.com/tomascohen/koha/blob/bug_18731_orders_endpoint/api/v1/sw… And the parameters definition [1]: https://github.com/tomascohen/koha/blob/bug_18731_orders_endpoint/api/v1/sw… Thanks in advance for your feedback and testing. [1] Yes, there's room for modularization (parameters/reserved.json?). Help is welcome. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io <http://theke.io/>) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Request for SO: Koha to MARC mappings
by Marcel de Rooy 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi all, I wrote a few reports for extending Koha to MARC mappings to allow for multiple mappings (e.g. map 260c and 264c to copyrightdate). The first part bug 10306 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10306 is waiting for QA. The second part bug 19096 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19096 is still waiting for signoff. Same for a smaller follow-up bug 11046 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11046 which makes it possible to better sort on publication years like 19xx etc. I rebased them yesterday.
