All of it in table form: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/Goals/201718Q3

Quarterly Goals edit

Program 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

Program 6: Outcome 2: Objective 2: Set up a continuous integration and deployment pipeline edit

Due: End of this quarter
Keyword: SSD
phab project: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/2453/

Verify basic functionality of 'production' deployment and image (initially targeting mathoid):
Functional PoC within integration in the deployment-pipeline
Deploy to isolated k8s
  • Can Tyler/Dan review https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170453 and it's dependencies in prep for Q4/end of fiscal year plan, plzkthxbai
