Bug Squashing Week Starts Today!
by Terran McCanna 11 Jul '25

11 Jul '25

Hi everyone! Welcome to Bug Squashing Week! We have several test servers up and running with proposed fixes and features applied and ready to test. Here is the testing spreadsheet that shows the test server URLs. Please note that there are multiple tabs - the "General" tab has some handy links and test user account info. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vx8-4rIfhY8zPQ0nMlljh1jU6aFVg56e4yg… Some of the ways you can participate in Bug Squashing Week: - Log into the test servers to see if you find any bugs that have not been reported in Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen> yet. - Look at the list of proposed bug fixes and features that have been applied to the test servers - read through the Launchpad ticket to understand the bug and then test out the proposed change. Add comments to the Launchpad ticket or, if the fix works great, you can sign off on it. <https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:bug_squashing#testing_bug_fi…> - Go through the list of tickets that have the "New" status <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.searchtext=&search=Search&…> - if you can confirm one of them, change the status to Confirmed. - Add "heat" to bug tickets by clicking the "Does this bug affect you?" link just under the bug title. This helps developers to prioritize work. - If you see a ticket that does not have any tags yet, add tags from the authorized tag list <https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:lp_tags>. - Provide additional feedback on existing bugs by adding comments to Launchpad tickets. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly!

Possible topic for a future meeting: new Angular features
by Jane Sandberg 03 Jul '25

03 Jul '25

Hi newdevs, I've been experimenting with a few different features available in newer versions of Angular (huge thank you to Stephanie and Bill for getting us upgraded to a recent Angular version and making this exploration possible!) Specifically, I've been working with: * Standalone components <https://v17.angular.io/guide/standalone-components> * Signals <https://angular.dev/essentials/signals#> * Using protected attributes in templates <https://blog.angular.dev/angular-v14-is-now-available-391a6db736af#6579> (rather than needing to make them public) * The new @-style control flow <https://angular.dev/guide/templates/control-flow> (for example, @if instead of *ngIf) I think that the first three are really great improvements to Angular; they've allowed me to write simpler, more reliable code. The @ stuff is fine too, I guess we'll need to get on board eventually 😂 Would there be interest in an intro session to these topics, with some interactive examples? I'd be happy to throw something together, or collaborate with others who might also be interested in presenting. -Jane

Bug Squashing Week: July 7-11!!!
by Terran McCanna 01 Jul '25

01 Jul '25

Woooo, it's almost time for the next Bug Squashing Week! As usual, we'll have some test servers up and running with some proposed patches and work-in-progress interfaces ready to test. The Reports Interest Group will also be leading a charge to build some report templates on one of the test servers that will be harvested to add to the basic Concerto data which will make it easier to do future report testing (yay!) I'll send out the testing spreadsheet either late Friday or early Monday with more information about ways you can participate. You may also review the Bug Squashing Week overview at: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:bug_squashing See y'all then!
