Justin:
* UIO+ Phase 1
o Antranig is review GPII-2424 and I'm making changes as needed
+ https://github.com/GPII/gpii-chrome-extension/pull/2
o Aim is to have it merged and ready for QA by Nov 27
* UIO+ Phase 2
o Working on FLUID-6209 (
https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-6209 )
+ Needed for GPII-2559 (
https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2559 )
Kavya
o Demo QA
+ Issues identified with elmer screen resolution ,simi and livia
o Resumed work on PSP Test plan
Michelle:
* https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2686: Creating a reusable GPII
themed dialog for showing informational and error messages.
Sandra:
- Interviewing candidates for DevOps and for Installation on Demand.
- Lots of status reporting. We need to determine where we are
against the plan for deployment to schools in the summer. I will get
input from team and review before showing to Gregg.
- I'm out this Friday. Next week is Thanksgiving holiday in US. I'm
out Wednesday through Friday, back on 27-Nov.
Simon:
* Code review
* Working with Sepideh on new Visible Nexus sketches
* Working with Alan and Gregor on fluid-couch-config
o https://github.com/fluid-project/fluid-couch-config/pull/2
Steve GRundell:
User listeners - just about done
Windows 10 S probe: thinking about it
Listener API: also thinking about it
HENS:
* Will definitely fill this out because he is an upstanding dude.
*Tony:*
* Working on scaling my "diff" work by implementing a proper LCS
algorithm:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence_problem
Currently working through "massive" test cases which break the
previous implementation by running the v8 engine out of memory.
* Submitted a follow-up PR to fix problems introduced in my
infusion-docs "Markdown-It" pull (and some others that were not my
fault). Thanks to Simon and Michelle for noticing the problem.
* Followed up on snyk vulnerabilities in various packages, working on
pulls against Kettle and gpii-pouchdb. Although I can get rid of
all the high severity vulnerabilities for this pass, I wanted to
mention that express-pouchdb moved to a monorepo some time after I
forked their work, which will make maintaining that fork much more
difficult.
* In doing so, encountered a regression on the "failure to catch a
global error" bug we were seeing. Antranig is investigating.
* Steve has asked about moving the i18n work in gpii-handlebars
forward: https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2444 I plan to do this
after:
o I update fluid.stringTemplate to support deep paths:
https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-6223
o Before I submit a new pull, I would like to I unstick my current
infusion pull: https://github.com/fluid-project/infusion/pull/822
Tyler:
* Nailing down Prometheus/Grafana
* Interviews
Yuriy (For the Astea team):
* Reviewed Kaspar’s pull request
(https://github.com/GPII/universal/pull/561)
<https://github.com/GPII/universal/pull/561%29> <- thanks
* Some refactoring and renaming (introduced “main” and “renderer”
source subfolders)
* Fixed hanging of electron tests
o An email describing the problem and the solution has been sent
+ -> This email was completely excellent
* GPII-2607: Modify settings from PSP (integration with Kaspar’s work)
* GPII-2678: Display snapset name in PSP menu from API (client-side
changes only)
* GPII-2677: Redesign and UX updates to PSP main window (WIP in a
separate branch)
o Awaiting final design specifications
*_AGENDA:_*
GPII-2538: Adds new requirement on auth database contents - from last week
* "Secure /untrusted-settings endpoint"
* https://github.com/GPII/universal/pull/558
* GPII tokens ("keys") will not be able to retrieve settings from the
Cloud Based Flow Manager unless they are present in the auth database
o Rejected with an unauthorized error
* Auth database initialized from:
https://github.com/cindyli/universal/blob/GPII-2538/testData/security/TestOAuth2DataStore.json
* Are there tokens that we should add?
o My feeling (AB) is that we should simply add tokens
corresponding to snapsets, but I don't know how to validate this
feeling
o Cindy - The database probably should have adifferent data sets
for the development and production environments
+ For the dev in this pull request, does it make sense to
import all tokens at
https://github.com/GPII/universal/tree/master/testData/preferences
into the auth database so they can be used for
/untrusted-settings endpoint
+ When the universal goes live to support pilot, we then worry
about adding tokens corresponding to snapsets
* When is it safe to merge?
* Question on fluid-work regarding tokens to be added:
https://botbot.me/freenode/fluid-work/2017-11-13/?msg=93463996&page=1
* The only mechanism we currently have for laoding data into
production is our preferences dataloader script:
https://github.com/gpii-ops/docker-preferences-dataloader/blob/master/loadPreferences.sh
* We need a new task to create mechanisms/process for loading data
into the production auth database
o Two phases: initial seeding (standing the database up) and
runtime addition of data (new user keys created)
o Initial state
+ Views
o Runtime addition
+ Snapset keys
+ User keys
o The production database should not include test data (keys for
test user preferences)
* a follow up meeting: kasper, colin, antranig, simon, tyler, cindy,
javi, alfredo
NPM 5.5 - The destructor of node modules (see items from last week)
Sadly, 5.x is what you need for the new 2-Factor auth feature, and AFAIK
we still can't use it.
https://issues.gpii.net/browse/GPII-2673
We believe we can get around this issue by switching from having a git
dependency on universal into having a regular npm dependency. This
requires the pull request from Javi (
https://github.com/GPII/universal/pull/548 ) to be merged - which will
be very disruptive for people using universal (i.e. everyone) ...
Therefore we have decided to wait with the merge of Javi's work until we
have delivered the build of PSP to usability testing sometime within the
next couple of weeks. Until then we will only be supporting npm < 5
