Lars had taken +notes of the chat, and we discussed them at this meeting. We filed +[[!issue 116]]. We agreed that we need a few putative scenarios for +"assuming" scenarios, and that we need to experiment with various +approaches ([[!issue 20]]). + +We also discussed a hypothetical USING keyword, but didn't settle on +an approach on that either, yet, except we think it and "ASSUMING" +should use the same approach. We might add a new block type "`meta`" +where ASSUMING and USING and other meta data about scenarios would go. + +This all needs further discussion. + +We finished [[!milestone 16]], completing [[!issue 93]] and [[!issue +104]]. We discussed the issues that weren't completed: + +* [[!issue 96]]: didn't know about error contexts +* [[!issue 100]]: script, but needs more work +* [[!issue 108]]: problems running generated test programs +* [[!issue 111]]: cronjob + +No progress was made on the following: +[[!issue 20]], +[[!issue 74]], +[[!issue 102]], +[[!issue 107]]. + +We closed [[!milestone 16]] and created [[!milestone 17]], with issues + +* [[!issue 20]]: continue discussion about ASSUMING, create scenarios + that need it in different way. +* [[!issue 74]]: Lars to add support for user to specify environment + variables when running the generated test program. +* [[!issue 96]]: Lars to investigate contexts in anyhow, and using + that to provide information on where error happens. +* [[!issue 100]]: Lars to update the MR based on feedback, then ping + Daniel. +* [[!issue 101]]: Daniel to create a single-file template for Rust + test programs. Doesn't need to be very complete, or even have + contexts, but should have something so we get this moving. +* [[!issue 102]]: Carried over. +* [[!issue 107]]: Carried over. +* [[!issue 108]]: Carried over. Blocked on [[!issue 115]]. +* [[!issue 111]]: Lars to set up a cron job to mirror from gitlab to + git.liw.fi sufficiently frequently. +* [[!issue 114]]: Lars to add a pandoc-citeproc dependency. +* [[!issue 115]]: Lars to find out what breaks and why, and to submit + a fix if possible. +* [[!issue 116]]: Daniel to update documentation to explain the + Gherkin-like language in a clearer way. + + + +# Review + +Outstanding MRs: [[!mr 93]]: Daniel has a suggestion, Lars will +implement. + + +# Discussion + +Others using Subplot: we need to improve documentation, and fix +[[!issue 116]] at least. We could do a trial where we watch a willing +volunteer use Subplot: a shared screen, screen, probably recorded for +our use (but not made public), using the Python template and Context, +to implement some subplot that's realistic, but not tiresome. [[!issue +117]], [[!issue 118]]. + +Getting Subplot into Debian: Initial Debian freeze happening early +January. We are not ready to support the version of Subplot we will +have then for years. We are, however, about ready for Subplot to be in +Debian unstable. [[!issue 119]] + +Daniel and Lars are both happy to support and mentor Dan to work on +Subplot and help him maintain momentum on contributing. -- cgit v1.2.1
