Hi all, I'm really glad Snowdrift got mentioned on the reditwittersphere recently - lots of new people around! Having people around, doing work and asking questions, has helped me get focused and energized.
I got two solid days of programming in this weekend. I've merged the ability to process payments, which completes all the mechanism code for "alpha". I also opened an MR for moving to lts-8.21 (ghc 8.0.2): https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/merge_requests/48/commits I went ahead and implemented this MR myself, duplicating the work of mtncoder and I think others as well. Doing it this way was the fastest way for me to understand all the little gotchas. There were actually more than a few. I'll merge that tomorrow, so please look at it and provide feedback (before the merge would be best, but commenting after merge is also very valuable). Thanks! Next steps: 1. MORE TESTS I don't trust the mechanism code yet. A. There are zero tests integrating with Stripe's API. B. There are zero web browser integration tests (using selenium) C. Writing unit tests takes creativity, and more brains are better than one. D. Test implementation is kind of ugly. i. Tasty is now the top-level runner, but mostly it just calls to high-level HSpec suites. That's an annoying level of indirection. ii. In some cases, the preconditions for a test may be implemented with library methods, which means the test is not isolated enough. For example, anything setting up the database should be using raw Persistent functions (like "insert"), not library methods. (By "library" I mean the library under test.) E. Stripe error handling isn't tested. Getting them tested will probably improve the API, purifying some functions. 2. alpha-ui merge This branch probably has lots of conflicts now. Let's work with the designers to break the work apart, and redo individual pages one at a time. Other steps and potential work are here: https://git.snowdrift.coop/groups/sd/issues&sort=label_priority and here: https://tree.taiga.io/project/snowdrift-dev/kanban (look for the "Dev Ready" column, and talk to designers if you have questions). Peace, -Bryan
