Manual testing is a great way to help out MediaGoblin when we're preparing for a new release. It can also help you get familiar with how MediaGoblin works and what it's all about. That is where this functional test suite comes in. Completing the tests from this suite can help us to know that our existing functionality is intact and the perspective of the new testers can help identify potential issues where ones had not previously been identified.

== Test template ==

All the test cases share the following format. If you come up with a new test case to add please use this format.

==== Test Title ====

'''Prerequisites:''' (''This is what a test needs before it runs.'') Ex - Image plug-in enabled. Activated user account. An image available for upload

'''Regression:''' (''Yes if the functionality existed in the previous release otherwise it is set to no. All test cases should eventually be regression tests. Note: "yes" here means it's a regression test, not that it's a current regression.'') Ex - Yes

'''Steps:''' (''These don't need to be exactly step-by-step but rather more general'') Ex -
# Login to MediaGoblin
# Click on the Add Media button
# Select an image.
# Give it a title, description, and appropriate tags. Select a license.
# Press submit
'''Expected results:''' (''This should be more specific than the steps.'') Ex -
* A message telling you the item was submitted.
* The uploaded item has all of the information from step 4 (title, description, tags, license) and the image from step 3 displayed correctly when clicked on.

== Reporting bugs from this test suite ==
See: [[File Bugs]]

Any bugs you find with this test suite should be reported at http://issues.mediagoblin.org.

In addition to following the existing issues guidelines make sure to include the word "testsuite" as a keyword on your bug report. This also will help with the search process since you can search using the keyword "testsuite" to see if your specific issue has already been reported. If it has and you have additional information to provide, leave a comment on the ticket.

You can copy-and-paste the test steps to include with the bug report to make things easier to debug.

== Where to run this suite ==

See: [[HackingHowto]] or http://docs.mediagoblin.org

You can run these tests on a local development instance or, if one has been made available, a test instance. If a test instance has been made available we will try to include links to them here. Details on how to set up your own development MediaGoblin instance can be found at one of the two links above.

* Where to put Developer docs?
*: Our Documentation for developers is currently a bit split. Some are on the wiki, some in the main docs. There are pros and cons for both. We should consider where to put things. One place? Which? Or decide on an individual basis?
*: Good about main docs: Easy to integrate source code doc strings. That way internal api docs can be kept mostly up to date.
*: Good about wiki: Doesn't feel so "set in stone".
* wiki spam: Do we want to change something?

0.3.2 release

What existing features need to be wrapped up?

Werkzeug switch

What time might we do the release?

Congrats to Deb from the mediagoblin team! Congrats de Deb!

Fundraising campaign

Keeping things going mid-campaign

You have questions? I have answers, kinda :)

Getting new contributors involved

Plugins? New features?

-- http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/Meeting#Next_Meeting
Fundraising stuff
Things are going great mostly when people check it out!
But how to spread the word?

should contact more podcasts, etc

currently working with FSF on this

need community to spread the word!

List of places already spreaded list and contacted

VideoThumbnailerMarkII
New video thumbnailer, rewritten to try to eliminate a bug in the old one where processing would stall.
New bugs introduce (of course ;)
Collections
Merged - Thanks aaronw!
WebOb => Werkzeug switch
Made some things break. Need help with testing + bugfixes
borked stuffs:

Accessing paths without trailing slashes, e.g. /submit (instead of /submit/)

Still a lot of legacy WebOb responses (such as webob.exc.HTTPFound() HTTPForbidden() left)

API
Delivered to mrn.is, tryggvib will test it and get back with feedback.
Working, still a lot of room for improvements.
Mostly done, usable, still room for improvements. Example applications:

Announcements:

* Anyone who wants to edit the wiki needs to be in the goblin army group. Ask Will or Chris to get added.
* Plugin infrastructure landed. If you're interested in writing plugins, talk to Will. Some documentation at http://docs.mediagoblin.org/#part-2-plugin-writer-s-guide

** Will split the docs/ guide into a Site Administrator's Guide and a Plugin Writer's Guide
** Has anyone looked at the Plugin Writer's Guide, yet?
** Will wants to add a "Contributor's Guide" to docs/ which he'd update from the wiki before every release
* Is there a way to improve our unit tests and motivation to write them?
** Simulating a browser by the way of [http://phantomjs.org/ PhantomJS], [http://seleniumhq.org/ Selenium] instead of having code simulating other code against itself might be more natural to write and even more testing the actual application. I have a good feeling about this, please prove me wrong if I'd be. --[[User:Joar|Joar]] 08:53, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

** How did this release process go?
*** We should talk about that conference.
** What's left to clean up?
*** Mongokit->SQL "style" query conversion?
*** Other cruft code?
* What are our next goals?
** Plugins
** Federation
** Favoriting
*** Take that, Pinterest! ;)
** Galleries
** Theming
*** Using sass would be neat
** Access restrictions
*** User management, or having a "secret url" that is not in the photo index that you can share with friends and generate as needed for any media type
** What about traffic? Some of us will host GMG on limited plans.
** Some kind of coding guidelines? Do we have a philosophy like "Keep it Simple, Stupid"
*** This concerns things like: Should plugins land in core eventually, do we want to support ALL THE MEDIA TYPES, ...
** Podcasting support?
** Things that have been hanging???
** Bugtrackers and milestone?
** More??? We should organize things!

=== 2011-12 (held on 2011-12-03) ===

[http://mediagoblin.org/irclogs/irc_meeting_2011-12-03.txt IRC log]

* We plan to create a plugin system. Do we want to create that soon or push it off until things settle a bit more? ([[User:Willkg|Willkg]] 08:54, 10 November 2011 (EST))
* [[Feature Ideas]]: What should we do about the wiki page? Keep it and have it as a monthly topic for "what next"? Convert everything to long waiting bugs?
* Possibility of an [[SQL Database Backend]]?
*: 'executive summary' (well, you should read the long docs): "We could move to sql. It's probably replacing one type of pain by another type of pain, but those are somewhat comparable. Leaving the main question: Do we want to occupy our main devs for some long time with this task and loose momentum?"
* Schendje's [http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/Feature_Ideas/Activities activities proposal]
* "Coming up next" blogpost draft by Deb Nicholson
* Jef's requests:
** Ticket #466 "Use of "Submit" in site copy is sterile and not as friendly and welcoming as it could be". I'd really like to change this soon to something more suitable. How can we improve the wording here? Some alternatives have been mentioned in the bug report, but which one should we pick? Link: http://bugs.foocorp.net/issues/466
** The concept and naming of "favourites". We'll (hopefully) be able to "favourite" media soon, which I *think* means that 1) it'll work like a "I like this" comment, a quick token of appreciation, 2) it'll be added to your list of favourites so you can save and promote it, and 3) we could maybe use the number of favourites as a ranking. What I'd like to know is: is that the intended purpose? If so, should we name them favo(u)rites or something else? "Like", "love", "save", "appreciate", "heart", "high five" and many more could all be contenders. And the name should be consistent with the action and purpose, of course. So I'd like to clear up how and why we will use favourites and what we should call them.

* What happened in the last month, what was good, what could be better next time?
** Release:
*** Good: 0.1.0 released!
*** Bad: postponing vs not postponing
** Sites and deployment documentation:
*** Good: new mediagoblin.org
*** Good: deployment documentation
*** Bad: py-bcrypt’s site was down just after the release, so the virtualenv deployment didn’t work, and it wasn’t clear how to fix it.

This month's meeting was a quickly announced short meeting. The project is getting back on track and next month's meeting will be scheduled more properly. A bunch of people were around.

The most important decisions:
* The project will keep monthly releases. They're the heartbeat of the project.
* Release 0.1.0 this sunday/monday.
* New website will hopefully be deployed in the next few days.
* And the following things are planned to happen during this month: Most importantly federation. The developers have decided to make up their minds on what federation aactually should mean for MediaGoblin. Concerning code, probably "activity streams" are the first goal. If there is no (good) python library for this, a new stand alone library may be created. If so, a name for it has to be found. It should have something about communication in it. And the other thing to happen during this month is an ongoing discussion about "bus factor".

* Where to put Developer docs?
*: Our Documentation for developers is currently a bit split. Some are on the wiki, some in the main docs. There are pros and cons for both. We should consider where to put things. One place? Which? Or decide on an individual basis?
*: Good about main docs: Easy to integrate source code doc strings. That way internal api docs can be kept mostly up to date.
*: Good about wiki: Doesn't feel so "set in stone".
* wiki spam: Do we want to change something?

AGENDA

0.3.2 release

What existing features need to be wrapped up?

Werkzeug switch

What time might we do the release?

Congrats to Deb from the mediagoblin team! Congrats de Deb!

Fundraising campaign

Keeping things going mid-campaign

You have questions? I have answers, kinda :)

Getting new contributors involved

Plugins? New features?

-- http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/Meeting#Next_Meeting
Fundraising stuff
Things are going great mostly when people check it out!
But how to spread the word?

should contact more podcasts, etc

currently working with FSF on this

need community to spread the word!

List of places already spreaded list and contacted

VideoThumbnailerMarkII
New video thumbnailer, rewritten to try to eliminate a bug in the old one where processing would stall.
New bugs introduce (of course ;)
Collections
Merged - Thanks aaronw!
WebOb => Werkzeug switch
Made some things break. Need help with testing + bugfixes
borked stuffs:

Accessing paths without trailing slashes, e.g. /submit (instead of /submit/)

Still a lot of legacy WebOb responses (such as webob.exc.HTTPFound() HTTPForbidden() left)

API
Delivered to mrn.is, tryggvib will test it and get back with feedback.
Working, still a lot of room for improvements.
Mostly done, usable, still room for improvements. Example applications:

* Plugins and themes! Who's working on one? What problems are you having? -- Please write up issues for problems so they can get fixed!
* Should we namespace plugins? If so, how should we namespace plugins?
** Python 3.3 will have support for namespace plugins. [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/#namespace-packages-today]
** In Python >=2.3, <3.3 it's a hack [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0402/#the-problem][http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/#namespace-packages-today]

Announcements:

* Anyone who wants to edit the wiki needs to be in the goblin army group. Ask Will or Chris to get added.
* Plugin infrastructure landed. If you're interested in writing plugins, talk to Will. Some documentation at http://docs.mediagoblin.org/#part-2-plugin-writer-s-guide

Agenda:

* Keyboard shortcuts ([http://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/346 #346])
* Ticket triaging?
* Base plugin stuff!

=== June 2nd, 2012, 9:00 am Pacific Time ===

[http://mediagoblin.org/irclogs/irc_meeting_2012-06-02.txt IRC log]

* docs changes
** Will split the docs/ guide into a Site Administrator's Guide and a Plugin Writer's Guide
** Has anyone looked at the Plugin Writer's Guide, yet?
** Will wants to add a "Contributor's Guide" to docs/ which he'd update from the wiki before every release
* Is there a way to improve our unit tests and motivation to write them?
** Simulating a browser by the way of [http://phantomjs.org/ PhantomJS], [http://seleniumhq.org/ Selenium] instead of having code simulating other code against itself might be more natural to write and even more testing the actual application. I have a good feeling about this, please prove me wrong if I'd be. --[[User:Joar|Joar]] 08:53, 28 May 2012 (EDT)
* Administrative panel/tools and user uploads panel

** Woohoo, release!
** How did this release process go?
*** We should talk about that conference.
** What's left to clean up?
*** Mongokit->SQL "style" query conversion?
*** Other cruft code?
* What are our next goals?
** Plugins
** Federation
** Favoriting
*** Take that, Pinterest! ;)
** Galleries
** Theming
*** Using sass would be neat
** Access restrictions
*** User management, or having a "secret url" that is not in the photo index that you can share with friends and generate as needed for any media type
** What about traffic? Some of us will host GMG on limited plans.
** Some kind of coding guidelines? Do we have a philosophy like "Keep it Simple, Stupid"
*** This concerns things like: Should plugins land in core eventually, do we want to support ALL THE MEDIA TYPES, ...
** Podcasting support?
** Things that have been hanging???
** Bugtrackers and milestone?
** More??? We should organize things!

* We plan to create a plugin system. Do we want to create that soon or push it off until things settle a bit more? ([[User:Willkg|Willkg]] 08:54, 10 November 2011 (EST))
* [[Feature Ideas]]: What should we do about the wiki page? Keep it and have it as a monthly topic for "what next"? Convert everything to long waiting bugs?
* Possibility of an [[SQL Database Backend]]?
*: 'executive summary' (well, you should read the long docs): "We could move to sql. It's probably replacing one type of pain by another type of pain, but those are somewhat comparable. Leaving the main question: Do we want to occupy our main devs for some long time with this task and loose momentum?"
* Schendje's [http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/Feature_Ideas/Activities activities proposal]
* "Coming up next" blogpost draft by Deb Nicholson
* Jef's requests:
** Ticket #466 "Use of "Submit" in site copy is sterile and not as friendly and welcoming as it could be". I'd really like to change this soon to something more suitable. How can we improve the wording here? Some alternatives have been mentioned in the bug report, but which one should we pick? Link: http://bugs.foocorp.net/issues/466
** The concept and naming of "favourites". We'll (hopefully) be able to "favourite" media soon, which I *think* means that 1) it'll work like a "I like this" comment, a quick token of appreciation, 2) it'll be added to your list of favourites so you can save and promote it, and 3) we could maybe use the number of favourites as a ranking. What I'd like to know is: is that the intended purpose? If so, should we name them favo(u)rites or something else? "Like", "love", "save", "appreciate", "heart", "high five" and many more could all be contenders. And the name should be consistent with the action and purpose, of course. So I'd like to clear up how and why we will use favourites and what we should call them.

* What happened in the last month, what was good, what could be better next time?
** Release:
*** Good: 0.1.0 released!
*** Bad: postponing vs not postponing
** Sites and deployment documentation:
*** Good: new mediagoblin.org
*** Good: deployment documentation
*** Bad: py-bcrypt’s site was down just after the release, so the virtualenv deployment didn’t work, and it wasn’t clear how to fix it.
** Live instances:
*** Joar has a live instance!
*** But what does it mean? Should ordinary users start using it?
