Agenda: Wrap-up for Developer Congress May 22-26, 2023

DATE AND TIME

Required roles: Host, note-taker 

• Host will use the list of topics in the wiki to call on each facilitator. Facilitators should summarize:

  • The focus of the group

  • What the group accomplished

  • Whether there are next steps or follow-up steps and how those have been captured

• Host will lead a retrospective

  • proposed format: plus/delta

  • Give 3 minutes at the beginning to allow people to take notes on what they want to say

  • Host invites people to "raise hand" to contribute to the retro

  • Participants can speak to both categories at once to reduce the time spent calling on people.

  • Ensure the notes are open so people can add things later

Host: @Daniel Pierce, Note-taker: @Adam Ploshay

Topics Review:

• Google Analytics 4 Support:

  • @Daniel Pierce

  • Basic PR is up that probably needs some more work: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/6074

  • This topic might benefit from oversight, review by someone more familiar with Google Analytics

  • A later Hyrax 4 release should have a fixed analytics setup

• Rails 7 Support in Hyrax

  • @Chris Colvard

  • Rspec is running in a WIP PR https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5962

  • Failing tests should be split up into smaller issues

  • HydraAccessControls change: CamelCased class name change was needed

  • Lots of zeitwerk related code loading issues

    • Zeitwerk seems to be running okay in Rails 6 dassie. Are these Rails 7 related? Classic mode for zeitwerk is gone?

• Hyrax Valkyrie Support

  • @Chris Colvard @Daniel Pierce

  • Work ongoing to create postgres-only CI tests in https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/tree/gen_10_valk

    • Many specs expect to have access to the GenericWork model. This will need to be consolidated with Monograph

    • Wings is still being loaded by some tests. Need to ensure it is fully disabled.

  • Also looking to resolve spec failure in https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5987

• Hyrax Issue Template Update

  • @Juliet Hardesty Created and merged new issue template and pull request template.

    • Testing steps are moved higher in the template to be more visible

    • PR template includes type list to make categorizing PRs easier

• Resolve Hyrax Flaky Tests

  • @Adam Ploshay

  • Class attribute value is being changed as part of spec, but not reset afterwards.

  • Draft PR is up: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/6075

Retrospective:

Plus:

• In person meetup in Bloomington was beneficial. Might be worth formalizing for future virtual events when several participants are local to each other?

• Dev con attached to Connect 2023 in Philly?

Delta:

• Analytics effort needed someone more familiar with the current state of analytics.

• Low attendance (6 people, 3 devs)

• Would have been nice to more directly help SoftServ valkyrie effort that started this week.
