Notes

Information Gathering and Feature Specs

Robinson

• Working with collection sprints
• Document (rather than refactor) for feature specs
  • Pull them out into a separate route
  • Linked to Documentation WG
  • Created an issue in response to these needs
  • Easier to publish a page outlining the feature spec. refactoring proposal
  • Collaborated with Giarlo and Rayle

Rayle

• Basic proposal is that the feature tests woiuld be extracted out of main test suite
• Own run in CI, run weekly or monthly
  • Wouldn't block builds for each Pull Request
• The proposal details this approach
  

Hyrax 2.1 Release Update

Van Tuyl

• First round of QA testing will finish this week

Diaz

• Tests in script have been executed on at least one browser and on O/S
• Continuing to work through this process later today
• Aim for a beta release by next week
  

Van Tuyl

• 14 blocking issues to the release exist
• Call for collaboration on resolving these issues
  

Rayle

• 8 are being actively resolved

Van Tuyl

• If you've done work on an issue related to this project, you might be contacted
• Any questions?

Robinson

• Files that a Work contains when Work is public but the Files are private
  • Blocks the file name (changed to "File"), but still renders that the file is there
  • Thumbnail is also hidden, but is rendered in IIIF Viewer
  • Clicking on the link directs to an "Unauthorized" page
  • Is that the desired behavior?
  • Not a bug from the Collections Extensions Sprint

Rayle

• Was it intentional to render those private Files to unauthenticated users?

Robinson

• Can extend a SearchBuilder to filter by access controls
• Should this be undertaken?

Van Tuyl

• Interested in contacting the Repository Managers IG

Rayle

• Should also contact the Tech. List (samvera-tech)
• Two use cases
  • Shouldn't render the files at all
• Perhaps permit configuration to render or hide these Files?

Hyrax 2.0 Stable Support

• Johnson
