[SailfishDevel] CalDAV/CardDAV Contributor Meeting

Tue Nov 8 01:45:09 UTC 2016

Hi everyone,

A quick summary of the meeting:

Follow up from last meeting:
1) unit tests for CalDAV and CardDAV plugins have been written
2) test server instances are now running and available for testing
3) all bugreports from last meeting have been investigated and progressed or resolved

Action points from this meeting:
i) chriadam will add documentation to the wiki describing how to perform manual tests with the test server instances.  Done - see https://sailfishos.org/wiki/CalDAV_and_CardDAV_Community_Contributions#Performing_Manual_Tests_With_The_Test_Services
ii) chriadam will investigate creating a curl PROPFIND+DELETE script to cleanup all data from the test service instances, to simplify manual testing from clean-state.
iii) dcaliste will investigate adding similar functionality to the plugin (turned on via env var) to simplify testing.
iv) dcaliste will investigate MER#1569
v) chriadam to investigate MER#1568
vi) William_ to create Merge Request for MER#1647 including unit test

Outstanding tasks:
a) we want volunteers to add more services to the test server.  Please see https://sailfishos.org/wiki/CalDAV_and_CardDAV_Community_Contributions#Adding_A_New_Service for more information.
b) Captive-portal handling - MER#1689 - no volunteers for this one, will revisit during next meeting
c) WebCal subscriptions - will revisit during next meeting

Full meeting log can be found at http://merproject.org/meetings/mer-meeting/2016/mer-meeting.2016-11-07-09.01.log.html

As always, feel free to begin investigating any task from the backlogs:
https://bugs.merproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=caldav
https://bugs.merproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=carddav
Just comment in the bug that you're starting to investigate, and periodically update it with your progress.

Thanks!
Chris.

Hi everyone,

Just reminder that the next Sailfish OS CalDAV/CardDAV Contributors meeting will
be held this coming Monday the 7th of November at 0900 UTC in #mer-meeting on
the freenode IRC network.

The agenda can be found at:
https://sailfishos.org/wiki/CalDAV_and_CardDAV_Community_Contributions#07.2F11.2F2016_Meeting

A quick summary of the activity and progress since the last meeting a month ago:

1) dcaliste has written unit test framework for CalDAV.
   We need more test cases so please contribute these!
2) dr_gogeta86 has created docker env for test servers:
   https://git.merproject.org/dr_gogeta86/caldav-test-farm
3) lbt, larstiq, and dr_gogeta86 have gotten the first test server working!
   http://8.1.tst.merproject.org/

This is a huge step - we now have working test services in the Mer infra which
can be used for automated testing.  Massive thanks to lbt, larstiq and
dr_gogeta86, for doing the hard work to make this happen.  Now we can start
using those services to run manual tests (requires volunteers!) and scripted
system tests (e.g. elfio's work).

Also, huge thanks to dcaliste for writing the unit test framework for the
CalDAV sync plugin, as now we can start adding tests to really get good
visibility into what needs improvement, and be able to change code without
fear of unknowingly breaking things.

A quick summary of tasks which we need volunteers for:

a) script to clean all data from the test services via curl PROPFIND+DELETE
b) MER#1689 - captive portal handling
c) MER#1625 - gracefully handle PUT failures due to read-only target
d) MER#1569 - handle shared occurrences

There are a couple of tasks which I believe are symptoms of the same root cause:
MER#1568, MER#1623 both relate to VERSION handling.  If someone is willing to
look into MER#1568 that would be appreciated, dcaliste has already done
some investigation into MER#1623.

Also MER#1647 hasn't had much progress - if someone wants to take that one,
that would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Chris.

Hi everyone,

Log of meeting on 10th October 2016:
http://merproject.org/meetings/mer-meeting/2016/mer-meeting.2016-10-10-09.01.log.html

Summary:
- following up from last meeting:
  * test server still not quite ready.  authentication enablers are done, and the VM exists, but firewall/isolation still TODO.
  * CardDAV unit test framework was completed since last meeting.  CalDAV unit test framework in progress.
  * dcaliste investigated MER#1623 and MER#1646, he has a potential fix for MER#1623, but MER#1646 is proving tricky.
  * William___ took MER#1647 last meeting, but he was unable to attend this meeting, so not sure of current status.  Will check again next meeting, if no progress can make this task available.
- new action points from this meeting:
  * lbt to work on firewall/isolation for Mer infra test server
  * ljo_ and dcaliste to help with TJC triaging, converting to MER# bug reports
  * chriadam to take MER#1606
  * dcaliste to investigate MER#1625
- postponed action points:
  * manual testing - can't ask for volunteers here until we have a test server set up properly.
  * system test scripts - elfio committed to this one during last meeting, but until we have a test server set up he can't proceed here.

Please see https://sailfishos.org/wiki/CalDAV_and_CardDAV_Community_Contributions for more information.

The next meeting is scheduled for 7th November 2016 at 0900 UTC.
Huge thanks to everyone for getting involved :-)

Best regards,
Chris Adams.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for top-posting, but I'm on an Outlook Web Access client, and it doesn't do quoting.

This is just a reminder that this coming Monday the 10th of October we have another CalDAV/CardDAV Contributor Meeting at 0900 UTC.  The agenda can be found: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/CalDAV_and_CardDAV_Community_Contributions#10.2F10.2F2016_Meeting

Everyone is welcome to attend, even if you are unable to actively contribute at this time.

Some highlights from the last month of collaboration:
 - we have a test VM set up in the Mer infra, plan is to install CalDAV/CardDAV services on it ASAP but first we need to sort out authentication / logins.
 - I've written a unit test framework for CardDAV to easily allow adding unit tests for parsing server responses
 - Damien Caliste has started writing a unit test framework for CalDAV, and he has also investigated a variety of CalDAV bugs which are proving to be quite tricky.

See you at the meeting on Monday :-)

Best regards,
Chris.

Hi everyone,

During the recent Sailfish OS Community Meeting, I raised the topic of CalDAV/CardDAV sync plugins for discussion.  These plugins provide vital functionality, but due to the complexity of the space (e.g., dozens of different server implementations, each with slightly different behaviour) coupled with resource limitations in Jolla, there have always been issues with them.  I asked the community if there would be anyone interested in contributing in some way, and the response was fantastic!

As a result, I have created the following wiki page: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/CalDAV_and_CardDAV_Community_Contributions.  Please note that currently that SFOS wiki is not able to be edited by community members (we're still trying to figure out how to create a proper review process for edits, and also whether or not it makes sense to provide single-sign-on between Mer and SFOS wiki, etc) but if you have any changes you'd like to make, please send them to me and I can publish them there.

Also, I would like to organise a kick-off meeting in #mer-meeting on Freenode IRC this coming Monday the 12th of September at 0900 UTC (which is 7 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, if that helps anyone else ;-)

The agenda can be found in the wiki page.

Everyone is welcome and invited to attend, even if you cannot volunteer to help at this point in time.

If you cannot make it, don't worry, I will attach minutes from the meeting to the wiki page :-)

Best regards,
Chris Adams.
