Notes

  • Hyrax @Randall Floyd

  • Bulkrax CSV Importer Spec (@Daniel Pierce )

    • bulkrax/spec/features/csv_importer_spec.rb at main · samvera/bulkrax

    • Has no expectations

    • Writing a feature spec seems difficult due to job timing issues, specifically ScheduleRelationshipsJob

      • Active job test adapter gets itself in a loop when running a job that reschedules itself.

      • Working on a special ActiveJob queue test adapter that will run scheduled jobs separately from immediate jobs to simulate them running later.

  • Daniel asking for input consensus on when to switch to Debian base image

    • Everyone was okay with introducing it as part of v5.1 without rebooting QA

      • Nurax’s already actually using it, so in that sense it is already being tested

  • Daniel/Rob to be next moderator/notetaker

  • Samvera help in channels

    • Russell Koonts question in #hyrax:

      • “We've recently updated from 3.6 to 5.0.1…we have 2 User collections that are public and have Registered Users as depositors.  However, when a user goes to add their work to the collection, they cannot find the collection via the add to collection function.  Users can find the collections if I add their UID to the depositor role.

      • @Randall Floyd will request more, trying to get at whether it’s an indexing issue:
        create new user collection post 5.0.1, see if it has the same behavior
        names of the collections are indexed using the strings of the titles, which could be a problem

    • Conversation resolved for Trey asking about ordered attributes on Valkyrie/F6

  • Samvera PR’s

    • Rob would like to do some housekeeping on open Hyrax PR’s, will ask his team about some recent things still in draft status

    • Closing some previous work now obsolete, like an older 2023 draft to upgrade to Rails 7

    • Closing the WIP to fix app loading due to zeitwerk changes

      • Still a good starting point for that work, but still easy to find on project boards from Issue 7020
