[API] New Api.getContext() method?
by Vincent Massol 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, I'd like to propose adding a new Api.getContext() method. Plugins are currently using this.context to get access to it. I'd like to add this method and make the context instance variable private. This is pretty minor and I don't see any negative point of doing it as it's already there, just not explicit. Let me know.

[API] Deprecate Api.checkProgrammingRights?
by Vincent Massol 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, I'd like to deprecate Api.checkProgrammingRights() in favor of Api.hasProgrammingRights(). It's not normal that we have 2 APIs for doing the same thing and none of them being deprecated. Is that ok for everyone? Thanks -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail r�invente le mail ! D�couvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

Xwiki is no longer running after my Api.getContext() change...
by Vincent Massol 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, Just sending an early warning that on trunk and 1.0 branch xwiki is failing to run. I'm investigating. The error I get is: 17:53:13,215 ERROR P1-18 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ SimpleLog4JLogSystem:logVelocityMessage:143 - Method getMode threw exception for reference $context in template at [1,5] org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'getMode' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.Context threw exception class java.lang.StackOverflowError : null Thanks and sorry... -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

This is the wrong log message. The correct one should have been: XWIKI-808: Add Api.getContext() method Note: I haven't moved context variable from protected to private just yet as we need to take a call on that. -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

[VOTE] Branching policy for 1.0
by Vincent Massol 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, Sergiu said in an email he wanted to modify the branching policy for 1.0. So I'm proposing 2 choices and let you vote about them: Option 1 (current policy): ==================== * Work on trunk till we cut the RC. At that point in time create a branch Pros: * Simple. Minimal merging from branch to trunk to do. * No risk of forgetting something (like something is on trunk but not in branch where it should be, and no risk of forgetting to merge back on trunk something from the branch) Cons: * If someone introduces a big instability, we'll need to revert it * Committers cannot commit something not working on trunk (in any case nobody should ever do that) * If a new feature is committed that impacts other features, it's possible that it won't be stable enough. This is especially true as we don't have lots of automated tests to discover regression. Note: If we had strong automated tests we would never need to create a branch (this is how I do it on the Cargo project and I've never had any issue). Option 2: ======== * Create a 1.0 branch right now. All work leading to 1.0 must go to that branch. Trunk is for work for 1.1. Pros: * People working on 1.1 can do so on trunk * Less stabilization risk issues Cons: * Requires more discipline. People must be careful to commit on the right branch/trunk. * We absolutely need to merge to trunk whenever someone commits to the 1.0 branch as otherwise merging is a big pain later on. Please cast your votes. I'm +1 for Option 2 but provided all committers agree as it's a little bit more work and more importantly requires discipline.

[Lucene] Fixing the rebuildIndex API?
by Vincent Massol 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi everyone, I can see the following API in LucenePluginAPI: public int rebuildIndex(XWiki wiki, Context context) I can see 2 problems with that: 1) I don't see the need for exposing the context, especially as it's known internally by the plugin. 2) Passing both the context and the wiki object seems redundant as it's possible to call context.getXWiki() I'm thus proposing to deprecate this method and instead replace it with: public int rebuildIndex() Ok for everyone?

[JIRA] New issue creation screen scheme
by Vincent Massol 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, In order to prevent users from assigning developers, assigning fix for dates or due dates, I've created a custom issue creation screen scheme in JIRA which only lists "non-developers" fields. This means that when you create an issue you'll only see some fields. Of course, it's then possible to edit issues to set the other fields. Note: This is the solution applied on jira.codehaus.org and I've copied it. I hope this is fine for everyone.

Cannot register new user.
by stephendturner＠gmail.com 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

I am a New user. I have some previous experience with 0.9.840. Just installed Xwiki 1.0 beta3 (requiring upgraded to java5) The sql database is xwiki, user xwiki, pasword xwiki as before Everything seems to work OK and I can edit content. I have imported Panels, nothing else. I have "Log-in", "Register", "Administration", "En" in the top right BUT ... I cannot login as Admin - password "admin" I cannot register a new user When I try to register I just get a login screen. Under Administration I can get to the "Users and groups" where it says ... You can currently edit users using the wiki on the users page. (I can't) You can currently edit groups using the wiki on the groups page. (I can't) But if I go to those pages I can see nothing and do not see how to add users. What am I missing?

Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki 1.0 Beta 3 Released

Hi, There doesn't seem to be a tag in xwiki corrisponding to the beta 3 release... should there be (I like to have the source so I can poke around when things go wrong & the trunk will obviously, soon if not already, be out of sync).
