[tool labs] central logging service
by Petr Bena 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi, per https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48846 we are setting up a logging service for tools and bots, so that every tool or bot can easily log to a central logging base which in future should support some nice web-based gui with log filtering (eventually some 3rd notifications, like e-mails (sms) / irc pings) and so on. The website of this project is here: http://tools.wmflabs.org/logs/ I haven't got much feedback so far so I would appreciate some, in this moment we are in phase where we are discussing the best options how to design this feature. Some people believe that it would be best to use some already existing logging service such as facebook's scribe, I /think/ that despite the already made and working solution might be a good idea, on other hand these usually were designed for another purpose than what we need and thus it's quite complicated to set them up for our needs. Having said that I started working on simple, but powerful logging daemon which should do precisely what we need (and which can be infinitely extended for our purposes) - but of course we can set up multiple solutions and let tool operators pick what they prefer most. If it's simpler for a tool / bot operator to intergrate with syslog, then why we shouldn't have it as well? But I must admit I found it quite complicated to make rsyslog behave as we need (I believe it's not even possible for it to match all out potential needs)

[RFC] Update our code to use RDFa 1.1 instead of RDFa 1.0
by Daniel Friesen 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

I was going through our code contemplating dropping XHTML 1.1 support and ran into the RDFa support stuff and realized how out of date and limited it is. I've put together an RFC for replacing our code that appears to be based on the RDFa 1.0 from 2008 with RDFa 1.1 and expanding support for RDFa. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Update_our_code_to_use_… -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/]

WMF Engineering Roadmap update - 2013-06-07
by Greg Grossmeier 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello all, == Preamble == Thanks to Robla, We now have a reliable way of creating a wikipage from the Google Spreadsheet we actually edit. Because of that, you can now see diffs! Eg: this is the one from today's meeting: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Roadmap&diff=706771&oldid=703648 == Updates == === iOS and Android apps in June === * Finish POTD login screen. * Finish oboarding tutorial. * Finish category work === Ops === * SFO Caching center will be doing a limited test rollout in June, with the plan to do the full rollout in July. * Ceph to be rolled out in July (rolled back in June due to interferring bugs, reported upstream and fixes in progress) * HTCP (Hypertext Caching Protocol) will be rolled out in June. === Platform === * VipsScaler is now out (in June) * Moving primary media storage to Ceph in July (pending the above Ops work) * RFP for Release Management completion and kickoff in July. === Engineering Community === * Bugzilla improvements (see recent wikitech-l thread on patch in Gerrit status) * Improve capacity of tech-related news/journalism with especially TechNews. * Investigating potential partnerships with related upstreams (especially Free/Open Source projects that we use internally). /end Let me know if you have any questions or clarifications to this! Best, Greg -- | Greg Grossmeier GPG: B2FA 27B1 F7EB D327 6B8E | | identi.ca: @greg A18D 1138 8E47 FAC8 1C7D |

Architecture Guidelines: Writing Testable Code
by Daniel Kinzler 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

When looking for resources to answer Tim's question at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_guidelines#Clear_separation_of_…>, I found a very nice and concise overview of principles to follow for writing testable (and extendable, and maintainable) code: "Writing Testable Code" by Miško Hevery <http://googletesting.blogspot.de/2008/08/by-miko-hevery-so-you-decided-to.h…>. It's just 10 short and easy points, not some rambling discussion of code philosophy. As far as I am concerned, these points can be our architecture guidelines. Beyond that, all we need is some best practices for dealing with legacy code. MediaWiki violates at least half of these principles in pretty much every class. I'm not saying we should rewrite MediaWiki to conform. But I'd wish that it was recommended for all new code to follow these principles, and that (local) "just in time" refactoring of old code in accordance with these guidelines was encouraged. -- daniel

Strange PHPUnit behaviour
by Paul Selitskas 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hola! I noticed something very strange in unit tests for /languages/Language.php (/tests/phpunit/languages/LanguageTest.php): Language::sprintfDate() is tested to conform with expected formatted date strings. In the test file method 'provideSprintfDateSamples' provides a test case for the format bit 'W' which means "ISO 8601 week number, zero-padded". Language::sprintfDate() outputs the result for W as documented. However, one of the test cases for this format contains expected value "1" (instead of "01"). As I said above, sprintfDate() adds a zero (printing "01"), but when I run the tests, they just pass! What is wrong here? Wrong test case + issue in PHPUnit or what? -- З павагай, Павел Селіцкас/Pavel Selitskas Wizardist @ Wikimedia projects
