rockstarUI reviews do have a reputation for being a PITA, usually because they are done too late in the review process.23:12
rockstarBut that shouldn't excuse us from not doing UI reviews.23:12
thumperagreed23:12
rockstarOr even doing ui=rs23:12
bacrockstar: i'll admit we've gotten a little lax.  i did a review for mrevell yesterday and could've insisted on a UI review but didn't.  (it *was* pretty simple)23:12
rockstar(which I used recently with thumper, and felt okay about it since it's not available UI anywhere but dev)23:12
rockstarbac, there's no reason why he couldn't have done ui=rs then.23:13
bacrockstar: are y'all still doing ui reviewers meetings?23:13
bacrockstar: ec2 land definitely doesn't support that...23:13
rockstarbac, well, we just had our last call for now.  Our group is taking things to the launchpad-dev list now.23:13
rockstar(for transparency as well)23:14
thumperbac: with lp-land you can edit the string :)23:14
rockstarbac, if the tools don't work, we should fix them.23:14
bacthumper: true.  rockstar: agreed23:14
baci think the larger issue is getting a UI review if you really need one.23:15
rockstarYeah, reviewers should either say "put my name down as ui reviewer" or "go get a ui review"23:15
bacperhaps just a gentle reminder will work.23:15
rockstarbac, ack.23:15
* rockstar was poet and didn't realize it.23:15
bacrockstar: would you like to send out such an email or do you want me too?23:15
rockstarbac, I'd be happy to.23:16
bacnice, thanks23:16
bac[action] rockstar to kick some butt re: ui reviews23:16
MootBotACTION received:  rockstar to kick some butt re: ui reviews23:16
bacy'all have anything else to chat about?23:17
thumperyep23:17
thumperjust landed in r10800 of devel we have two new testing bits23:17
thumpertest_traverse in lp.testing.publication23:17
thumperwhich given an url, will return a tuple of (object, view, request)23:17
thumperit hooks into the zope publication method23:17
thumperto do exactly what normal browser traversal would do23:18
thumperthis is then used in the update BaseBreadcrumbTestCase23:18
thumperso you can get breadcrumbs for an object23:18
bacneat23:18
thumperwithout having to fake the traversed objects23:18
thumperalso I'd like an action point to remind people23:18
thumpernot to put new code in canonical.launchpad23:18
thumperI moved the test case to lp.testing.breadcrumbs23:19
thumperfrom canonical.launchpad.webapp.tests23:19
rockstarYay thumper23:19
bacthumper you'll be happy i followed rockstar's example today and moved the registry javascript out of there23:19
thumper\o/23:19
baci think we're the only two apps to do so23:19
thumperit's a start23:20
rockstarbac, awesome.23:20
thumpermy change to the breadcrumb tests required quite a lot of fixing23:20
bacyeah, it's hard to believe the big migration was last march and we still have so much cruft23:20
rockstarbac, did you have any problems with that?23:20
thumperas I had to fix all the existing test_breadcrumbs23:20
bacrockstar: no, just hunting down all of the relative paths to change23:20
thumpereven found one real bug23:20
thumperthat was not being tested as it should have been23:21
bacthumper i did too.23:21
thumperI wish we had a unittest school to help people learn how to write better unittests23:21
bacthumper: perhaps you can lead us at the epic23:21
thumperhah23:21
thumperI'd defer to mwhudson or jml23:21
thumperI've learnt a huge amount from them23:22
bacseriously it would be a good topic23:22
thumperit would23:22
thumperwe should do something like that23:22
bacif only jml weren't so shy about public speaking23:22
thumperhahaha23:22
bacanything else?23:22
thumperI don't think so23:22
baci'd like to apologize for missing the meeting lately.  last week i got super frustrated and left to go biking, completely forgetting about this meeting23:23
baci'll try not to do it again23:23
bacplease ping me if you remember23:23
mwhudsoni guess i won't be attendng after this one23:23
bacmwhudson: you're always welcome to drop by...23:24
bacmwhudson: hope the new assignment is fun23:24
mwhudsonbac: so do i!23:25
bacrockstar and thumper thanks for bringing up those points.  i'll take them back for discussion in the bigger group.23:25
thumpermwhudson: I guess it depends on how much LP work you acdtually do23:25
baci need to run.  ttyl.23:25
mwhudsonyeah23:25
