[Toaster] Toaster weekly call notes (25th February 2015)

[Barros Pena, Belen]

We were: David, Dave, Scott, Mihail, Michael, Belen and Alex

Weekly status:

* David: submitted patches for 6682 and 7359. Working on 7246 and 6040 at
the moment. Will also look at 6483 (it has been reopened).

* Dave: submitted patches for 6154

* Belen: reviewing implementation work and discussing some changes to
improve the importing layer process

* Alex: back end improvements (breaking sqlite in the process) and bug
fixing 

* Michael: bug fixing. Also working on the error reporting tool

* Mihail: just one bug away from UI automation for analysis mode. Back end
automation is complete for both analysis and build modes. Experiencing
some issues with the database in the latest m3-rc1 build: nothing is
recorded on the database (issues open already).

* Scott: new version of the manual went out on Friday. Needs a good
review: please look at it. Progressing on the video embedding in the
manual. Asked if the videos will change: answer is, probably not, since
they apply to existing functionality, but we might need to add some
additional ones to cover new features.

Opens: 

* About 7246: should users be able to delete from a project any of the
configuration variables set via the admin interface? Ideally, probably no,
but we have bigger issues to deal with, so we can release like that and
change it as part of the feature to customise the Django admin interface
(6897).

* Dave encountered 2 problems while using Toaster. One has a bug already
open: 7301. Dave will take it and Alex can provide some direction on how
to solve it. The second is that the glibc recipe page throws an error when
you build core-image-full-cmdline. Belen will try and reproduce it.

* QA issues in the database with the latest release candidate build: some
changes to speed up MySQL broke sqlite. The problem affects both analysis
and build modes, and QA has filed 7363 and 7365 to track it. Toaster is
just triggering the bug, which might be coming from Django. Alex is
looking into it. QA should continue testing with sqlite. To unblock the
full pass testing for the rc build, QA could either set up their Toaster
instances with MySQL instead of sqlite temporarily (Alex will provide
instructions), or revert the commit causing the issue (Alex will send the
commit id). 

* Automation requests: to help the UI tests automation, Mihail had a
couple of requests.

1. Add a class to every cell in the recipe and recipe version columns in
the recipes table
2. Add a class to every cell in the package and package version columns in
the packages table
3. Add an id to the search, new project, new build and edit columns buttons

Mihail will open bugzilla issues to track those.

* Testing of build and analysis mode: Mihail asked if we need to run full
tests for the common pages between the two modes. The issue is that the
pages are slightly different (the build mode has a different breadcrumb
and loses some table columns). Alex suggested to do full testing in build
mode, and smoke testing in analysis mode to make sure the pages load
without errors. He also suggested to clone the automated tests so we keep
separate test cases for each mode, since we'll probably separate them into
2 different applications during the next release.

* Intel's Yocto Project Summit has accepted a Toaster talk in their
program. David Reyna will probably do the presentation.
