Scrum of Scrums

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/64/

Vagrant

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/627/

• Triage existing tasks
  • Create workboard?
• Bigger goal of establishing unit-test coverage

Browser tests

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/630/

• Finalizing environment abstraction layer
  • Further testing by refactoring some advanced scenarios (in Flow, CentralAuth, Echo)
  • Team review tomorrow
  • Merging later this week
• all VE tests are broken. I'll walk Rummana through fixing them later today.
• Writing a new test for vFlow since they marked the ticket High and haven't done it themselves. It'll be fast. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75239
• Refactoring MMV and UW tests as their UIs get the OOJS treatment, working mostly with Gilles and a little with Mark. Trying to get rid of the sleeps and I'm finding some issues with how Chrome treats the z-axis in our UIs. I want to pair with Zeljko on this later.

Deployment tooling

  • [scap] Syncing wmf-config/PrivateSettings.php syncs symlink and not file contents

Continuous Integration

• Antoine getting HHVM job
  • manual run of them all, assess status of the builds, if only a few broken, enable it everywhere
• Gearman/Zuul/Jenkins still deadlocking from time to time for random reasons :-\

Beta cluster

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/497/?order=priority We have new labs servers! If you collect a rough count of how many new instances you need, I'll lift the quotas.
