Quarterly Goals
editProgram 1: Outcome 5: Milestone 1: Develop and migrate to a JavaScript-based browser testing stack
edit- Due: End of this quarter
- What: Specific improvements to the now canonical framework, see: task T182421, notably:
- Upgrade webdriverIO to version 4.9
- Investigate replacing nodemw with mwbot
- Video recording for Selenium tests in Node.js
- Task: task T182421
Done:
- T188553 Vector browser test blocking merge in Minerva - Jon R reverted my commit to move a test from core to Vector
- T187862 Update README file for Selenium tests - James F merged most of my commits
- T185315 selenium-EXTENSION-jessie Jenkins job should have e-mail notification - self merged after 3 +1s
- T180777 Move portal deployment artifacts into their own repo: wikimedia/portals/deploy now has Selenium tests
- T188606 Selenium pageObjects export constructor vs. new instance: recommended contacting upstream since we are closely following their recommendations
- T99955 Write browser tests for DonationInterface - Selenium test sample created, but there is a problem with running it in CI
Waiting:
- T188744 Find a few people interested in reviewing Selenium patches - 3 (out of 9 contacted) people replied, that should be enough but will wait a few more days, just in case
- T188740 Post mortem for T139740 Port Selenium tests from Ruby to Node.js - waiting for JR to set up the meeting (he is in charge of post mortems, as far as I know), but I can do that too
In progress:
- T187859 Move one Selenium tests from mediawiki/core to mediawiki/skins/Vector - Jenkins job has to be refactored slightly
- T185011 Create selenium-MediaWiki-jessie daily Jenkins job - both Jenkins job and Selenium tests have to be refactored
- T185094 Update page object pattern in Selenium tests - stuck with `UserLoginPage.open is not a function`, asked for help from newly formed Selenium support group
- T181284 Investigate replacing nodemw with mwbot - upstream does not have license file, but has license in package.json, will send pull request
Program 1: Outcome 5: Objective 1: Maintain existing shared Continuous Integration infrastructure
edit- Goals
- Draft requirements for a Kubernetes based solution for CI - task T183513
- Migrate MediaWiki PHPUnit tests to Shipyard (docker-based CI) (~40% of Nodepool usage) - task T183512
- Will be worked on after the long tail task T187797
- Unify production and CI docker image build process - task T177276
- Done 01/15
Program 3: Outcome 1: Objective 2: Identify and find stewards for high-priority/high use code segment orphans
edit- Due: End of quarter
- task T174091
In progess - stewardship reviews
Program 3: Outcome 2: Objective 2: Define and implement a process to regularly address technical debt across the Foundation
edit- Due: End of quarter
- task T174095
No progress
Program 3: Outcome 2: Objective 3: Promote and surface important technical debt topics at large gatherings of Wikimedia developers (e.g., DevSummit and Hackathon(s))
edit- Due: End of next quarter
- task T174096
No progress
Program 6: Outcome 2: Objective 2: Set up a continuous integration and deployment pipeline
edit- Due: End of this quarter

- Goal:
- Verify basic functionality of 'production' deployment and image (initially targeting mathoid):
- Functional PoC within integration in the deployment-pipeline
- Deploy to isolated k8s
- Verify basic functionality of 'production' deployment and image (initially targeting mathoid):
- Can Tyler/Dan review https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170453 and it's dependencies in prep for Q4/end of fiscal year plan, plzkthxbai
- New docker packaged \o/
- Still need to review Dan's updates for python and some refactoring, but lives package is reviewed
