Notes

Week 1, Day 2 (08/18)

• Attendees: Bill, Nick, Danny, Courtney (briefly)
• Danny: Started working on DURACLOUD-1264 (DurAdmin Accessibility)
  • Starting to look at the Wave accessibility tool
  • Looking at the login page and main page of DurAdmin
  • Today starting to iterate on elements, try to fix some of the low hanging fruit
  • There are different classes of errors
  • There are some things that are just notices, about structural elements (not necessarily errors). Not everything called out is actually a problem.
  • There are certain javascript elements that can help to resolve problems in a variety of places
  • Approach: Iterate on individual elements and push PRs for each fix
  • WAVE provides a browser plugin to help get issues fixed
  • Will require some effort to get local environment for DuraCloud back up
    • Docs for this: https://github.com/duracloud/deployment-docs/blob/master/dev-guide-getting-started.md
• Nick:
  • WAVE tool useful
  • Able to get rid of most of the errors on the SyncTool
  • Current work: https://github.com/TexasDigitalLibrary/duracloud/commits/duracloud-1265
  • A few alerts that don't appear to be errors. Like not having header tags or page regions.
  • Some of the errors are old JQuery dialog boxes (like the close link)
  • Having to rebuild and relaunch the SyncTool; started stalling at 12% usage
    • Updated Jetty to the latest minor version, and this seems to have resolved the issue
    • Nick to create a ticket to pull this in
• It is some amount of effort to get a development environment set up. Could be done in Terraform or Docker
  • Would be nice to replace the mill-deploy with Terraform
• Bill:
  • Starting to look at all the things needed to update to Java 11
• WAVE tools
  • Should coordinate on things like color changes
    • Nick looking at an update to the background color (https://github.com/TexasDigitalLibrary/duracloud/commit/b6673705ebef8f6601679f2641f85aff69928196)
  • Testing on Chrome and Firefox
    • Safari has a feature to read the page, which is helpful for understanding

Actions

• Bill Brananto create a ticket to replace mill-deploy with Terraform
