Review of actions from last meeting.
Dan remains not in a position to work on Subplot issue 22 which is fine, it can wait until he is able to help. We’re carrying this action
Daniel to file an issue to create issue templates based on https://third-bit.com/2021/01/18/how-to-write-a-memo/. We’re carying this action.
Review of the iteration that has ended
We’ve been busy with life and work and other projects this iteration, so we didn’t get everything done for Subplot milestone 23. There’s lib/files work, and command line interface refactoring that may be carried over.
We did achieve:
- Subplot issue 153 - Subplot’s source tree has a lot of subplots now - should that be cleaned up?
- Subplot issue 157 - Implement directory handling in lib/files for Python
- Subplot issue 159 - Implement directory handling in lib/files for Bash
- there doesn’t seem to be a lib/files for Bash; issue open to be discussed in this meeting
- closing since there are no Bash libraries yet
- Subplot issue 108 - tried again to test an older Subplot with the current Subplot, and found a new blocker
- issue still open; we’ll discuss it in this meeting
- we’ll wait until we have a single subplot binary, issue 164, which will have the resources built in
- Subplot issue 167 - Rust lib/files “directory exists” step functions don’t check the path is a directory
Review of the repositories
There were no pending merge requests for subplot-web. There is a WIP MR for some work Daniel is doing in subplot.
There were no extra branches in subplot-web.
Issue review
We created the current-goal issue label to mark issues relevant to the current goal.
We reviewed all issues and updated them based on discussion.
Current goal
Our current goal is to get Subplot the software and project into such a shape that we feel confident that we can ask a few people to give it a proper try. This requires for Subplot to have releases that are easy to install, tolerably easy to use, and to have at least some rudimentary documentation aimed at beginners.
Plan for next iteration
We created Subplot milestone 24 for the iteration starting now and ending in two weeks on 2021-03-13.
We picked the following issues to work on for Lars:
- Subplot issue 166 - daemon.py busy-waits for port to be open
- Subplot issue 162 - Change ./check to treat Rust warnings as errors, with an option to override that
For Daniel:
- Subplot issue 168 - Running ./check modifies subplotlib/tests/files.rs
- Subplot issue 164 - Refactor CLI into single subcommand binary
- Subplot issue 161 - Use git-testament for versioning
- Subplot issue 116 - Subplot documentation needs to explain scenario language more effectively
Up for grabs if anyone has time:
- Subplot issue 22 - PlantUML jar and java locations should be configurable
- depends on Dan’s availability.
What do we need to persuade others?
Nothing new came up.
