Deploying?

VisualEditor rides the platform train

they have milestone for every second monday
assigning bugs to milestones, retargets
operate ignorantly of deployments, kinda
occasionally modifications in core
deployment with news coverage, keep close watch

Parsoid is different story

nodejs
only thing being deployed with git-deploy!
unversioned blobs of data
- external npm modules
- 39 megs
- talk with Ryan about git-annex re this
  - git-annex with bittorrent?
develop on master
James pays attention to deploys, talk with him

Every friday look at master vs every other

Testing?

everyone has the connection between visual editor/local mediawiki setup?
not on beta at all
ask james about going to beta
vague ideas of browser testing
ask Chris M about that
other than manual and Wikipedia :) testing
fairly good unitest coverage
Ed is working on more unittests
much of the UI stuff is now getting unittested through
passed 100 tests
timo and antoine working on qunit to run on Jenkins
- currently tests jslint
- would be good for qunit
Ask Timo and Antoine re that

Pain Points

parsoid is a separate service that is deployed separete
- making parsoid backwards compatible
- not runnable since mid-January
- parsoid is now rewriting the serializer
- hopefully in a couple weeks it should be ready
- code in gerrit ready but not able to be merged because parsoid is old
sometimes upgrade VE on all deployed mediawikis
- messes up sam?
- if every week, then less need to do out of band deploys

The deployments "just run" and it is working well

James and Beta

TODO (Greg)

Ask Timo and Antoine re qunit tests
ask james about going to beta
talk with Ryan about git-annex re git-deploy/git-annex and VE's use-case of 39 megs of npm's in git
