    • Clarifying Class names in the application

    • Serious bug discovered for PostgreSQL

  • Bootstrap Upgrade

    • collection_spec failures are fully resolved!

  • QA/Testing Updates

    • Feature testing directly translated into CSS bugs

    • There were some which were resolved immediately

    • Labeled priority issues are still outlying

      • https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/5654

    • Entire feature test on a local build is a lot more intensive than a deployed instance like nurax-dev

      • However, it was successfully achieved!

• Next Steps

  • Hyrax Maintenance WG is continuing the labor next week

    • This will incorporate the progress in the Rails 6 upgrade achievements

    • There may also be some additional UI labor which is available for further assistance with UI cleanup and styling

  • Release Management

    • Integrating the Rails 6 upgrade next week would then lead to release candidates or beta releases

Hyrax CircleCI Upgrade Updates

• Participants

  • Daniel Pierce

• Notes

  • Hyrax needed base images updated to the new CircleCI Docker Images (cimg)

  • This involved dropping support for EOL Ruby releases

    • Realistically, Hyrax should require 2.7 or later

• Next Steps

  • Supporting CircleCI and JavaScript tests are still outstanding

    • Docker Container for Karma can load the Jasmine JavaScript tests

    • The fixture files still need to be accessed

  • This will continue to be advanced next week

  • Julie Hardesty and Rebekah Kati

  • Wireframing work has been undertaken in the past, but this is far more advanced for this Congress

Retrospective

Proposal: Perhaps have this completed following the wrap-up meeting?

• Plus (Beneficial)

  • (To be completed following the Zoom Meeting)

  • James runs a smooth Dev Congress!

  • A lot of effort going into testing and addressing issues for BL7/Bootstrap4/Rails6 upgrade

  • Great event "templating" that lets everyone plug into different things while staying connected throughout the week

  • The ability to focus on a critical need was very useful (Blacklight/Bootstrap/Rails 6)

  • Good mix of participants with different skill sets

  • New docker-based/dassie local environment setup is really easy

• Delta (Detrimental)

  • For one week, we had too many topics to really dig into

  • Working through all the feature tests locally is very time consuming because there are many pre-requisite assets that need to be manually created. It would be great if we could "seed" those critical assets into dassie. 

  • Nurax-dev was having issues this week (important for comparison testing), and roles and responsibilities there are unclear
