[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Yet another new platform flavor proposal or how to get rid of XWiki Enterprise
by Thomas Mortagne 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Here is a new proposal on this subject. This supersets the following threads: * http://markmail.org/message/mhhurc7lbyfanph7 * http://markmail.org/message/nav5a77hzmhq4gq6 * http://markmail.org/message/fd5ijxdquzdhtykw We discussed with other committers (Vincent and Ludovic) and came to the conclusion that it was not core dev team job to provide a specific flavor like Knowledge Base and that we should focus only on a very generic one (pretty much XE without the Blog). Here are the details: = One flavor We develop only 1 flavor located in xwiki-platform repository. It's a generic flavor not targeting any specific use case (the first version with be XE without the Blog). We will discuss the name in another thread later, let's call it "Wiki Flavor" for now. Of course everyone is free and welcomed to build lots of contrib flavors which will be proposed when you install XWiki ("Development Flavor", "Demo Flavor", "Blog Flavor", etc.). = No "Base flavor" But platform will provide an extension that can be used as dependency by various flavors to get "core" UI extensions that we think make sense in any kind of flavor. = Demo package We currently have a jetty/hsqldb based package in platform which let you choose which flavor you want. We will show it in the download page. We will add another one with the Wiki Flavor already installed in it (pretty much like the XE jetty/hsqldb package). Listed on the download page too. We don't maintain exe/jar installers anymore in platform, they die with XWiki Enterprise. They are a real pain to maintain and we are actually failing since they don't really work properly everywhere they are supposed to work. It does not worth the trouble for what is not a production ready package and it's better anyway to make more clear XWiki is a server thing. WDYT ? Thanks, -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improve the Notifications Module to replace the Watchlist
by Guillaume Delhumeau 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hello developers! The new roadmap has been voted and I continue my work on the notifications module. You might have played with it since the 9.2 release and I hope you like it. Now I need to implement the email part of the notifications module. It means that users could decide either the notifications are displayed on the top menu or sent by emails periodically. Having this in mind, it is clear that it conflicts with the Watchlist. The plan is to move to contrib the Watchlist application (when possible) and to implement the same features inside the notifications module. Any objection before I start the work? Thanks, -- Guillaume Delhumeau (guillaume.delhumeau(a)xwiki.com) Research & Development Engineer at XWiki SAS Committer on the XWiki.org project

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Start exploring JUnit5
by Vincent Massol 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Hi devs, JUnit5 is getting closer to a final release (planned for July 2017) and it would be nice to be able to start familiarizing ourselves with JUnit5 and start migrating some tests and prepare the conversion of our custom JUnit4 Rules to JUnit5 Extensions. A nice video about using JUnit5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qI6_NKFQsY&feature=youtu.be User guide: http://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#overview` I’ve created and implemented https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1189. Please let me know if this causes any issue. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] request for 2 project repositories
by Ludovic Dubost 14 Apr '17

Hi, I would like to request two projects repositories for: 1/ Search Extension Spellchecker application-search-spellcheck This extension uses jazzy (https://github.com/tupilabs/jazzy) to provide spell checking of search queries (in english for now) 2/ Office365 integration application-office365 This extension provides a macro allowing to display office365 documents inside XWiki, as well as display search results on office365 as a widget in the solr search screen (it needs a UI extension for this which I will propose in a jira issue) Thanks Ludovic -- *Ludovic Dubost* *Founder and CEO* ludovic(a)xwiki.com skype: ldubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org <https://r.clb.pt/r/9948f250f66b8701fa3e61729c63b99e?d=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.lud…>Try XWiki on the cloud <https://r.clb.pt/r/9948f250f66b8701fa3e61729c63b99e?d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xwik…> - Try Cryptpad: Secure realtime Wysiwyg Editing <https://r.clb.pt/r/9948f250f66b8701fa3e61729c63b99e?d=https%3A%2F%2Fcryptpa…>

[xwiki-devs] Bug in XObjects, or am I using them incorrectly?
by ktc 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I'm running into what appears to be a bug in how XObjects are removed and added, and wanted to ask if I am perhaps using them incorrectly. Basically I am performing the following sequence of steps: 1. Insert some XObjects to an XWikiDocument using document.newXObject(). Save the document and reload. 2. Delete one of the XObjects in the middle of the list of XObjects, using document.removeXObject(). Save the document and reload. 3. Add another XObject using document.newXObject(). Save. Here is that the document's xObjects data looks like after each step (simplified for demonstration purposes): AFTER STEP 1: index=0 object="<?xml...>...<number>0</number>...</xml>" index=1 object="<?xml...>...<number>1</number>...</xml>" index=2 object="<?xml...>...<number>2</number>...</xml>" AFTER STEP 2 (assume I delete the xObject with index=1): index=0 object="<?xml...>...<number>0</number>...</xml>" index=1 object=null index=2 object="<?xml...>...<number>2</number>...</xml>" AFTER STEP 3: index=0 object="<?xml...>...<number>0</number>...</xml>" index=1 object=null index=2 object="<?xml...>...<number>2</number>...</xml>" index=3 object="<?xml...>...<number>2</number>...</xml>" As you can see there are two related problems here: 1. A null object is being preserved in the list of XObjects, even after being rehydrated from Hibernate following a server restart. 2. The index=3 object has been given a 'number' of '2' -- but that number is already in use by index=2 object. Because of this, saving the document actually fails: I am receiving a NonUniqueObjectException as follows: org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session: [com.xpn.xwiki.objects.BaseObject#-1957000305211198111] Looking in the XWiki code it looks like this is essentially happening because the value of 'number' is computed as 'list size - 1'. So that 'null' that gets preserved in the list seems to be throwing off the logic. Am I using newXObject()/removeXObject() improperly? Please advise. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Bug-in-XObjects-or-am-I-using-them-incorr… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Gradle exploration?
by Vincent Massol 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

BTW I think we’ll need to think about exploring gradle in not too long. Maven continues to stagnate while gradle is moving fast ahead. One important feature of gradle is performance (see also https://blog.gradle.org/introducing-gradle-build-cache and https://blog.gradle.org/incremental-compiler-avoidance) Apparently it beats maven easily and that coud make things much nicer for us. The worrying point for me is the ability to find existing gradle plugins to replace the maven ones that we use. What we could do is to commit the start of a gradle build in our SCM (starting with xwiki-commons) as a way to explore Gradle and see what’s missing compared to our current maven build. In other words, it would be a way to slowly start to learn Gradle. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent PS1: FTR I did my first gradle build at https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/docker-xwiki/blob/master/build.gradle PS2: I’m worried about the smaller reliance on conventions in gradle than in Maven (as you can see from https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/docker-xwiki/blob/master/build.gradle, it doesn’t use any fixed structure and we’ll need plenty of best practices, it really reminds me of Ant…).
