Plan to remove installation-tests from the jbosstools-base repo
by Mickael Istria
Hi all,
As tracked in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12905 , we are
trying to move installation tests out of jbosstools-base/tests since it
is something that comes on top of JBT/JBDS, and which is not part of the
base. We decided it would make its own git repo, since it's not exactly
integration tests neither, and also because we can anticipate the fact
that some other "Stacks" (SOA, Fuse...) would like to use it to test
their update-sites.
So the repo is here:
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-install-grinder . Most stuff
was updated to work well with this change.
We're just waiting for some QA jobs will be adapted. Pavol is leading
this stuff for QA side. When he migrates to the new repo/job/URLs and
everything is working well, we'll remove this stuff from jbosstools-base.
The plan is to do it ASAP, but we are not in a hurry for that. So if
Pavol has some more important tasks to do, we'll wait after GA.
Does anyone have any objection, concern or question on this topic?

INFO: jbosstools-build-sites push forced
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hi,
We had some non-public/non-reviewed code from JBDS go into jbosstools-build-sites repo a few hours ago by accident.
Since it was discovered quickly I went and push forced the latest clean version of jbosstools-build-sites.
Thus if you have jbosstools-build-sites checked out or updated within the last 2 hrs you will need to refetch and rebase your custom branches.
If not then this should not affect you :)
Ping me if any problems.
Thanks,

Could not resolve target platform
by Andrej Podhradsky
Hi folks,
I'm not able to resolve the new TP org.jboss.tools.target-platforms.jbosstools:unified:target:unified:4.2.0.c-SNAPSHOT
See my log in the attachment.
It seems that it isn't in the nexus repository, right?

new repo on github: jbosstools-install-grinder
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hey,
FYI, I've just created jbosstools-install-grinder which Mickael Istria shortly will start filling up.
This repo will be the new place for the p2 and jboss central swtbot based tests Micakel and Pavol have
currently buried inside jbosstools-base where they had some funky circular dependencies and heavy build impacts.
By moving it out these can be more easily run by others and reused to for example testing more complex stacks and more combinations.
Mickael will send out the PR to cut out the old installscripts repo.

On the topic of useful PR title/descriptions and git commit messages
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hey,
I'm seeing a tendency to just put the JIRA number + possible merge info in the topic of the pullrequest and git commit messages are long lines of text instead of properly formatted.
This makes it rather hard to look at the list of PR and git history and figure out what they are about plus they duplicate the merge info Github already knows about.
You might not be aware that git actually uses some rules/conventions on the git messages to make things like git log be readable and informative, git rebase and squash etc. can use the titles better and finally github uses the same conventions for their pull requests.
Thus if you treat the github pullrequest similar to how a good git commit comment is done (you can even copy/paste them if there is a 1-to-1 match) then we should be good.
Thus the basic conventions are:
1 line for title, max 50 characters and don't end with a '.'
Two new lines
paragraph of text, max 72 characters wide containing the necessary info/details.
And that 1 line title for our workflow is best started with the jira ID.
Thus a good minimal commit message would look like this:
JBIDE-1234 - hibernate tools 4 classloading is broken.
Because of changes in Hibernate 4 classloader we can no longer
do XYZ. Thus I've made it do ZXY instead.
For a PR you can either just copy verbatim the above or maybe add some refs/details:
JBIDE-1234 - hibernate tools 4 classloading is broken.
This should be applied not only to master but also branch jbosstools-4.0.x
With this github dashboard and git log messages becomes much more informative.

i.e. the code would have to do "if browser=ie do X else do Y" ?
I hope none or only several of them will be affected, like rich:calendar,
which is very complicated and really 'rich'.

I wouldn't like to change the user agent, because client logic may depend
on it. Changing/adding of another request headers won't work in WebKit.
Today we found that the following approach may work.
If we set URL as http://localhost:1234/index.jsp?root=xxxx/project/, then
all linked resources will be requested with the 'Referer' header set to
this URL. This header may be used on the server to return right resources.
What I like in this approach is that it will also work for any browser, a
SWT embedded browser or a stand alone browser.
Redirects/clicks from one page to another should be handled separately, but
it is possible in SWT to do URL rewrite before the page requests are sent.
Another drawback we found is that html frames won't work this way.
