Time to get organized! I spent the last couple of weeks reviewing the technologies and tools used for writing tests for mediawiki, organizing all my notes/resources/links and updating my development environment.
I spent my time taking some linkedin learning courses: Node.js: Test-Driven Development, Learning Selenium, Node.js Essential Training, and part of API Testing and Validation. Some of the things I learned about was Gherkin syntax, what Grunt is and what it can do for you when developing with Node.js. I also spent time reading Incident Documentation: An Unexpected Journey which attempted to figure out which repositories would benefit from testing. I also learned about and played with the beta site for mediawiki as well as their API tool.
I also spent time documenting my everyday activities and meeting notes and resources all in one spot so I can easily access important information for this project all in one spot.
In terms of my development environment I was getting a bunch of errors during my vagrant git-update
so I decided to do a vagrant destroy
and it looks like it reinstalled and updated successfully without errors though this process did take a long while.
