Action Items

Meeting Minutes

• Don: Merged a change from CI which then had to push to another branch. The ones failing now are the ones that are allowed to fail for Drupal 10.

• Rosie: We have a lot of repos. As TAG, should we have a way to enforce checking version?

• Rosie: If you're about to cut a release, you should go in and check if you're rusing the most recent version of things. And if not, bump them up. Because we're not doing this right now

• Don: Is there a way to accomplish that here? Where apply to ISLE and Playbook?

• Rosie: We're not doing a great job of maintaining composer.json

  • https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/882/files
  • We need a Routine Check
    • ex. I don't know what openseadragon requires, maybe we don't touch it very often, and it might conflict with other things that require a newer version of a dependency.

• Rosie: Modules shouldn't have so many dependencies, makes it harder to manage.

• Don: Thinking of an update feature within the admin UI?

• Rosie: No, we designate a person in the community to be responsible to check if stuff is up-to-date, when they realize a new version is available, they make that possible.

• Don: Dependabot - this is what it's supposed to do. But they're more for PHP modules than Drupal modules?

• Rosie: Nothing includes a composer.lock file as of now, but once we do that's going to be really important.

• It outputs the right composer.lock file but doesn't test anything. Seems like Dependabot assumes your test suite is going to test.

Repo Deployment Options

• Rosie: we are spending more time on deployment than actual Islandora code

  • The work that is going to be spec'd - it might not be possible to have someone deploy it to both deployment mechanisms
  • Not sure how to deploy code to ISLE

• Don: It is a pain to test a module in ISLE

  • Rosie: Can we develop documentation for people who want to play with ISLE?

• Don: install profile stuff hasn't been merged

  • https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-dc/pull/248

• Don: confused by make local not working?

• Rosie: it doesn't install half the services that ISLE spins up. SOLR not installed, can't configure SOLR, etc.

• Don: It's really bare bones Drupal. The only thing there is the home page.

• Rosie: Make local seems to expect you already have a site.

• Don: It assumes you're bringing up a codebase.

• Don: There's a docker compose .yaml file and I assume that's what this is for

• Don: make local is just scaffolding. And you need to provide the files you're going to need if you're going to do this.

• Rosie: So as a new person, setting up a site. What am I expected to do?

• Don: make ? sets up the connections if you've already have a drupal site.

• Don: if you wanted to use seomthing ohter than SOLR, you would see where it is in the file structure.

• Don: make local should have Islandora branding when you land, it's not here. So something's up.

• Willow: is there a different make command?

• Don: make demo is the first time your'e running it,

  • install profile equivalents:
    • make demo_install_profile_demo and make local-install-profile

https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-dc/pull/248

• Fixing initial install options

  • adds an install profile, basically a module that ads htese things in place, centralizes the behaviours

• introducing make demo_install_profile_demo and make local-install-profile

• Rosie: I'm scared of deployment versions that lock us into versions of older modules/

• Don: Can we automate when ISLE is released? or this could be Ansible, not sure -

• Rosie: There's too much automation tools that are breaking.

• Don: Grabbing the database from sandbox. Should we reset it so we have a fresh one?

• Rosie: Does ISLE need a database or codebase?

• Don: Think they may function the same. Not sure if it's an ISLE script or Ansible.

• Don: You're right that we shouldn't be using the current database file that's in there because it's so old.

• Reach out to Nigel: do sandbox reset, and do a database backup or dump?

• Rosie: when we spin up make demo, it has files from Drupal 8.3.

• Rosie: I don't understand why there is make demo in buildkit if it doesn't just create and deploy something like that.
