Description

Regular JCasC project meeting in Jenkins. News, ongoing development, project sync-up. Meeting notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hm07Q1egWL6VVAqNgu27bcMnqNZhYJmXKRvknVw4Y84/edit#heading=h.5qrop7d6u7sz

A

Okay, it's being recorded cope.

B

Alright, so welcome to the office hours for the 11th of September 2019 on the call we have myself Tim taken earlier John and Joseph today, we'll start off with any last meeting. I think we've had 16 days ago, so we've had one release which not very exciting.

B

The logs were adding an extra space than what I needed, but when people were testing against configuration as code, they were having to add that space in and we wanted to fix that before it got to Y. So we don't have to update too many places. That's because we're working on adding configuration is code to the Jenkins bomb and we had some compatibility problems with the playing plugin comparability. Tester was highlighting issues with tests, not passing on new versions of configuration as card here we go so I. Think all of the yeah.

B

So here I think all the progress has been merged. We're just waiting on releases just waiting on released of SSH snow, which one I think is eastern age credentials. Plugin. Is that right, Joseph I.

C

Know I think it's a sacred insult was done by Matt.

B

Maybe I think it's easy to say: slaves, then yeah.

C

Kurtz, who has to do yeah.

B

Yeah, ok, so once once that's done, we should be unblocked on adding it to the bomb should be quite nice means that people are doing the bomb will be, will keep keep up to date and we'll get some good plugin compatibility testing for inform as well polling site updates, so the work to call documentation and from github instead of the wiki, is being deployed.

B

There are a couple issues with the.

B

A

A

D

A

A

Languages but oh.

A

And as a source of information, and he in addition to common metadata, there are also a few files being generated and one file is plug-in documentation in URLs the JSON file, which exists specifically for the update side and here well yeah. There is no prettify option so.

A

So we you can see that now there are 50 here it lists on the resistance. So we have many plugins, which we were migrated to github but haven't been increased yet so yeah. These changes are pending, but yeah here you can discover 50 plugins. The most of them are real work. So basically, if you and is just if you just put your visitorial, it will work if you put something else. So there are some examples where custom links are being used.

A

So, for example, here I've tried my references to whatever pool I had no idea what this or there is, for example, chapter again, which uses MIDI HF plug-in, so it will build ignore because it uses another github organization. It's on support right now, but yeah the most of plugins here, which at least that actually I'm getting deployed and visualized by the plug-in side. So that's how you discover that and if you look for configuration as code.

A

It references configuration is configuration execute. This is Sam and configuration support, basically reference, nothing. So we just you know like you just see we can. We can try. Oh nothing.

B

A

I think well, it depends on the weather.

A

So probably it's one of the promote opportunities for us, because I wouldn't say that this documentation is extensive, but it is, did some documentation. Yeah.

B

What's enough, yeah.

A

So yeah it's something which anybody could contribute to the G cascade system, just by defining things. So these pages start for him.

A

Okay, any other questions about the plug inside.

A

Okay, yeah configuration is called support, is maybe separate story because yeah that guess it depends on Joseph Kings for duplicating plugins, because once we have an engine for duplicating plugins, I can also deflect it on the plug-in side. Thankfully, if you go.

A

Basically, there is nothing, oh that is duplicate fable here, but yeah. That's it yeah. We could improve it. A bit later published.

B

Documentation insisting on useless that's.

A

One option is to just check its label and really big warning here.

C

Yeah or have the duplication in can support that yeah.

B

C

Site knows that it should display it does for security. Well,.

A

If it's indicated label, so even without any additional logic, I can just working here. I will actually create a full optics for that, because it seems to be able to improvement for the plugins I. Definitely yes, fix, updates under, but plug-in site would be nice anyway, it's going down so it's 300 installations list. Then it wasn't me so good progress. There.

C

Hopefully, with the deprecation engine I would like to support like also I, think uninstall, when the source and matrix is correct, like I hope you can have some version matrix, then just also install, if detects all the right versions and I installed and gets rid of, like just support tracking, for instance,.

A

Make sense: okay, so they'll probably stop change the screen so that we return to.

B

Qu and we have one pending change, which is an enhancement for allowing check for null to override parameters and non null by default, and suppose it was done for the Scion iQ plug-in, which has a compatibility issue right now and to allow the to allow that plug-in to be fixed in a easier way. Depending release at the moments may release it today, but just catch up that later on.

B

Also updates recent compatibility fixes, so mailer plug-in has just had a new version out which fixed all of the issues with it believe.

B

Security whitelist filter.

B

Security or something else.

E

B

Very wrong with you, my colleague, if you're not aware.

A

B

Something very wrong if you Mike yep.

A

No that's what they had I apologize for. The did something wrong. Ok,.

A

B

Scripture security looks very close to being marriage. It's been painting for very long time.

A

Okay, any other plugins yeah I'm subscribed, but.

A

B

I've got a poor grace for the build, monitor plug-in, but it seems abandoned it's also, not in the Jenkins Ginga CI or as well, which makes it more difficult.

B

Yeah I think that's a one-way of anyway ongoing development, so we've already discussed J guest to bomb. We just need their release on SSH slaves, which he said he would do this week.

B

Github documentation, we've already discussed JSON schema system has got a poor grist for that which is working and in the current approach it works to at least validate types that and it's the schema, that's not broken, which is lovely than what we currently have. Doesn't. Oh yeah, that's the right poor quest, search pending review, I've, I've reviewed it and I'm happy enough with it.

B

If we can get it merge soon, there's more work to be done, but we just need to decide whether we're going to link to the schema in this version or whether we add that later, currently, it's not letting to anywhere, you have to know the URL well. This is not that large, but we're good so that we can merge its own and iterate on it.

A

As soon as possible, because yeah basically- and there is a pair with the quest which marks JSON schema- is a better feature yeah, it means that gives us enough freedom basically to proceed as we wish, but in the current state it is unusable anyway. So um the finalists have made feature if this works better than the current state yeah.

B

Only works better than the American one and yeah the only communist. Do we want to change the link to point to this one now or do we want to just leave and LinkedIn? As for requests.

A

So if you feel the current schema is better than well that new schema is, but the current schema yeah just replace it. Yeah.

B

I think so I think.

C

So yeah just replace it. Okay.

B

Okay, well, we can't you. I was late enough to listen. He can watch this recording as well. Now, hopefully we can get this merge this week. Okay,.

A

B

So we've got the system. Repurposed Shazam hasn't hasn't really had any changes, since ain't Daniel picks the only one who's reviewed it slightly, not sure what we can do to get that moving along yeah.

A

I can take cool to get it over the line. So basically he heads down in with the new LCS cutoff, because he will good well two or three regulations to Francis yeah I. Think that request also can move ahead. So we definitely improve service situation. We need to become bility pensions, but yeah. The rest is amol is fine.

A

Yeah I also linked to the Dom. The system configuration plug-in, which was created by a while ago, yeah.

B

I have looked that yeah. It passes the jelly and rewrites the jelly before passing it to the user mm-hm and no bear Teague's to said that hey English, that means when they were doing something, comparability work. It figured that plug-in in when he tried to use their plugin. He couldn't get it working in certain situations, so I'm not sure how completed errs I'm sure have how many installs it has memory.

B

You know in my Jenkins.

B

Not that one, you know the name of the plug-in is.

A

B

It's this one I had to say that before I looked at that before I started on for Chris.

A

B

Got thousand installs and last release don't.

C

B

Yeah I yeah I haven't tasted it myself, but I'd suspect it doesn't work. What doesn't work completely.

A

Use a central core so yeah why I brought it just to understand whether it makes sense to use it as a base? For example, repeat, mission plug-in I mean that there is no plug-in videos to update a faction magic and offer a place for all the dependencies so yeah. If, if this plug-in is not suitable, we can just move on and yeah once this story is done. Hopefully this plug-in can be considered, is deprecated yeah.

B

Yeah definitely would be typical is the only API in this plugin.

B

It just tries to look up the permission.

B

So just yeah just links to a system reading permission it tries to look it up and if it doesn't exist it falls back to administer.

A

Consumers, so this yeah such micro blogging, is perfectly fine.

B

Yeah yeah, it's very simple: yeah.

A

Having to the part of something would be nice, but.

B

A

Try to take a look at the Jenkins pull request this week.

B

There was a coin here: I think this was just copy, that from last time about devilís 3, not sure exactly what was going to be on there.

A

Nothing happened so basically the intention all these discussion was discuss features we would like to have imaging to score by the next deltas baseline and some. This is the developer community, so maybe we could facilitate some contributions to them right. This is the list we discussed at the last meeting and we basically, if somebody wants put something to this list.

A

Yeah just do that Co.

B

Sure they all look very useful and we're skipping. The community bridge update it's because Slayton wasn't able to make it today, mm-hmm cool. Does anyone do anything else? Oh.

A

Nothing from me community bridge, please vote for the meeting times because he stole we do not have regular meetings for Jake ask developers tools, I mean for me. It's really hard to find time. Every week, yeah.

B

If we can I, don't think I have the thing to vote on that the moai I voted initially I, don't know if it's I don't know. If there's been a new one sent out he's sent a meeting invite tomorrow that I can't make start to kinda.

A

Topics to discuss to be anything from.

D

D

Just to try to speak with them.

D

A

So welcome back, thank you. So maybe one additional topic to discuss while we are there so on October, shows the we will have Oktoberfest.

A

Yes, so there is well, if you don't mind, I'll share the screen for a second.

A

A

So from October.

A

Thirties yeah one would.

B

A

Breakfast, so it will be an online hackathon where everybody is able to contribute. We also try to organize some on-site events, so, for example, they will be one event in Switzerland when I went in mimic one event in China and hopefully one event in st. Petersburg, and you know that I need help organizers. We also invite you to do so.

A

What is specific to Jenkins collaboration, a squad project that last year we had configuration, is called plug-in here on the list.

A

At that point we had only few newbie friendly tickets, but I think that this year we could have some more mutation, aggressions whatever smaller features or whatever integration test, or if somebody you would be interested to just create a bunch of new befriended tickets, it would nice so that you could facilitate some contributions for the plugin, so yeah. That's why I wanted to bring it up. So if you have, any ideas would be done.

A

Let's do it. I.

B

Struggle to have fun I find that jackass isn't the most newbie friendly plug-in. It's very reflection here: Bay and Jenkins internals heavy.

A

But, for example, integration tests, something like that: yeah yeah, how to see some bits could be done so yeah. If you have any ideas or maybe just creating demos, I'm sure this folder seems to be pretty useful according to traffic start. So maybe you could just suggest creating new demos for plugins.

A

You have issues of fun, so you did.

C

It there is a nice work in progress, pull request that actually tries to consume these demos from the integration click it now. Yes,.

B

Right then, configured with demo, which pulls the integration test contract from the demos folder rather than the class path. Yes,.

A

The pull request from MIT Martinez this one yeah.

B

But it's the new one at the top.

A

A

Yeah that one is cool, so you need to take a look at that, but the original it's off, there's a hot topic fest last year when wish we had in news. So maybe this Oktoberfest, you could repeat it over the line.

E

A

Necessarily have to be a newbie friendly, so newbie friendly think it's a kind of ignition, but there is the chance to make you know.

A

It'll still well,.

B

Yeah, there's probably a few we can stack Hector we face. Is that Hector we faced labels, don't you be friendly or both.

A

So lost you just drank on this list, so we did publishes a jitter query. So, let's see what you have in the list now.

A

Description who Jenkins made the video ok, but you definitely could be more, and that mean they could be mode here so yeah. So the filter and in theory is jake, has compatibility, dev tools, compatibility or anything in components. So, for example, when I create tickets to mob documentation to github, for this plug-in, so they'll be like a here and they will be definitely in the from there are you haven't militias who would make sense.

A

So yeah, if you have something to bind this, you don't you just create them.

A

So yeah thanks for your time.

A

Thank you, okay, thank you, and we see in two weeks.
