Notes

Testathon

  • Testathon is taking place this week and next week
  • Please feel free to take part in it; there is a test plan; please create bug tickets for anything that isn't working
  • Testathon test plan is heavily front-end centered, developers can assist with testing things that are back-end
  • This two week period is also a good time to start the translation process for 9.0, as we are feature complete
    • Question: Is there a list of what is newly created parameters in the English file in DSpace 9?
      • There is a script that marks new keys that need to be updated; Art will create PR for this script: npm run sync-i18n; can be included in release candidate run for next release
  • There a number of test cases that are hard to test (T157, T158, T162, etc.)
    • If anyone has instructions on how to test these, please write them down and share them 

DSpace-CRIS & DSpace Potential Merger

  • There is a new wiki page documenting the differences between DSpace-CRIS and DSpace (both architectural differences and feature differences)
  • Please enhance this page if you know of any other differences that are currently not listed

Testathon Check-in

  • Reminder about Feature Documentation; we have a good number of features in our release notes that are not documented yet
  • Please link to documentation in PR that's created
  • Anything that's not been documented does not get tested in Testathon 
  • Some bugs have already been fixed (e.g. SSR stuff)
  • Look for the testathon label in GitHub to find Testathon-created bugs
  • Bug fix PR creation deadline is May 2; Due date for merging bug fixes is May 16
  • Went through a number of bug tickets
    • #4141: Long bitstreams get cut off at the end of the page; Art volunteered
    • #4140: Already has a fix PR created
    • #4139: Quality assurance notifications not working properly on Sandbox; Giuseppe volunteered
    • #4137: Trying to change file format in bitstream does not work; Giuseppe and team volunteered
    • #4133: Language selection not retained after page refresh (only occurs on Sandbox, not on demo site); marked high-priority; Art volunteered
    • #4132: Not specific to testathon but came up during testathon; having issues with status code on error messages; Assigned to Giuseppe and team
    • #4097: Facets disappear on workflow page; there are two people working on this; Francesco's PR will be closed out
    • #10584: Metadata invisible of withdrawn items
    • #10581: If any of email parameters turn out to be null, the value of null turns up in email; Mark volunteered
  • Art noticed something this morning: on community or collection page, JavaScript is disabled
  • There have been bug fixes applied to the main branch, they have not been pushed out to the Sandbox
    • Tim will push these out tonight or by end of this week, when the least number of people are testing
  • Reminder: Alongside testathon, we still have a lot of PRs that are open on our board
    • If you have time, please review things on the board to be sure we get it into the 9.0 release
    • If you see a PR in the "Needs Reviewers" or "Under Review" column that's of high importance to you, please test it, add a comment, etc.
