Ralph: Need at least one reviewer for each task. By next Monday, we should complete the reviewing.
Jim: Asim’s Jira ticket has 26 changed files and it is a substantial change. Need two reviews.
Asim: Second reviewer is Kitio.
Ralph: Repurposing of Sprint - 2 tasks : Testing and Evaluation of Release Candidate.
Go through the documentation and find the gaps.
Documentation tasks are in review.
Mike: what is the process for reviewing the documentation tasks.
Ralph/Javed: Use comment section of Jira Ticket to request changes or approve.
Mike: Sounds good to me.
Mike: New JIRA for data distributor documentation https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/VIVO-1495
Ralph: We should use Selenium to test. Who was working on it.
Jim: I am working on it.
Christian: There is a Selenium IDE for Chrome as well.
Jim: Tests are brittle. Every test currently fails as login page is changed.
No one is maintaining the tests. Other example is Photo file paths.
Currently they are window-specific.
There will be issues that will come up.
Ralph: Suggestion to make sure Selenium task is a high priority in forthcoming Sprint.
Mike: I am eager to run Selenium test by myself. I need steps to follow to run Selenium tests.
Jim: Most of the issues may be resolved in minutes.
Ralph: Suggested a wiki page “how to run selenium tests”.
Jim: I can write some things.
Ralph: VIVO - slack is reaching to the limit. Content will be trashed unless you preserved. If you had something in Slack you refer back to, archive it, perhaps in wiki.
Ralph: Java-8 - start pushing people toward OpenJDK. Has anyone done testing? No.
Jim: Java 9 and Java 10 are short term releases and their life may end before Java 8.
Next long term release is Java-11. I am not sure if we encourage people to move away from Java-8.
Jim: Developers cannot reply on Java-9 JDK Constructs.
October 2020: End of life for JDK 8.
Jim: Developers cannot do anything that is incompatible with Java 8. We need to mention how and on what Java versions VIVO was tested while having a release. Instead of saying OpenJDK vs Oracle.
Ralph: Should we target Java 8 for now and do not target 9 or 10.
Asim: Yes. , Don: I like the idea.
Ralph: We might want to have a documentation page.
Kitio: Have some concern about the reviews.
Ralph: I am going to work on it. May assign tasks to few people.
Kitio: Questions about Sample Data.
Mike: Sample data is available on wiki. But, we may want to have another Sample data that is large. Data can be downloaded from OpenVIVO. ~5M triples. UFL data should be available somewhere as well. Mike will get both data sets available.
