Introduction of a New Coding Style Guideline for ILIAS Code

by Winiker Stephan HSLU

Dear ILIAS-developers and -admins, we would like to inform you about the introduction of a new coding style guideline for ILIAS-code [1], why, how and when we want to introduce it and how you will be involved in this process. The coding style guideline we will introduce is the well known PSR-2 [2] plus some rather minor additions. We believe it to be very valuable for projects to stick to a common style: it is easier to read code with a consistent layout, it is easier to find your way around in code if you aren't distracted from differences in styling and, finally, we all have one rather minor point less to argue about. Currently there already exists a coding style guideline for ILIAS, but it isn't followed consistently. We further believe that the value of coding style guidelines doesn't only apply to single projects, but also to a language community as a whole. If people share a common guideline when writing PHP, the benefits will also apply when switching projects and newcomers to ILIAS won't be distracted by ILIAS specialties in the coding style. To introduce a consistent coding style that also follows standards of the PHP-community, we decided to introduce PSR-2 with some additions. We intentionally only focussed on directions regarding formatting of code and dismissed questions regarding naming or patterns like "How to name interfaces or classes?" or "When to use early return?". We feel that these require more effort in discussions and want to pick low hanging fruits via this proposal first. This guideline replaces the one in the development guide [3]. We know that this introduction of a coding style guideline will cause some disruption, among core-developers as well as among devs who maintain patched versions of ILIAS. We still feel that having no implemented guideline is not an option anymore and try to make the move to PSR-2 plus additions as painless as possible. The introduction will benefit us all long-term. The introduction will proceed in three phases: Starting in June 2019 every change in a maintained ILIAS-version or the trunk must be made after the coding style in the targeted file(s) is fixed. The style fixes must be made in a single commit with the message "CS fix". The desired changes should be made afterwards and in one or many separate commits. If I would, for example, want to fix a bug in Modules/StudyProgramme/classes/class.ilObjStudyProgrammeGUI.php I would first apply the fix to the coding style to the file, commit it with the message "CS fix", then make the desired changes to fix the issue, and also commit them. Maintainers may also move a complete component in all maintained branches and the trunk to the new style at their own discretion. This will gradually move some parts of all of our branches to the new coding style while maintaining the possibility to find a responsible person via git blame and cherry-picking changes from other branches. Once the beta-release is ready and branched in October, we will apply the new coding style to the rest of our codebase in all maintained branches and the trunk. This will be done via one big commit per branch. This will break patches, PRs that are open at that point in time and also git blame for parts of the codebase that haven't been modified before. Please be aware that this will happen and reserve time for required actions accordingly. After this single commit that fixes the rest of our codebase, our CI-server [4] will automatically check if new code respects our coding style guideline. We are looking into the details regarding the necessary measures to ensure the whole ILIAS code base keeps respecting the guideline also in the future. One important elements will be the actions taken by the CI-server if code does not respect the guideline. To ease the introduction and also maintain the coding style in the long-run, we will supply you with some material: * A documentation that shows how you could introduce tooling on your dev-machine that automatically maintains the coding style. * A configuration for PHPStorm for the coding style. * A shell-script that fixes the coding style for a single file or a directory. We are exited to make this move with you and look forward to have a consistent style in out codebase. If you have any doubts, questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us at tb(a)lists.ilias.de Shout out to Nils Theen (@legionth) for pushing this issue. Thanks! Best regards!

Doodle: "Requirements Acquisition Workshop" Internal API Alignment

by Maximilian Becker

Dear Developers, Tinkerers, Admins! The Technical Board has contracted Databay and Leifos for a comprehensive concept on Internal API Alignment. Before we go to work and come up with something behind closed doors, we would like to hear YOUR requirements, thoughts and hopes, how you would like to interact with components in ILIAS in the future. Itll be a lengthy process to get everything working according to the new processes and framework, but NOW is when you are asked to voice your thoughts on the matter. Your input is valuable and maybe you bring up that aspect that is ideally addressed already in the foundation of the upcoming developments? We plan a 2 hour Skype conference and I hope for a lively interactive discussion, a wild brainstorming! Sign your times in the doodle so we can meet and hear you: https://doodle.com/poll/i25sn375wh5peehn If you cannot make it but still have the million-dollar-plan, send it to me mbecker(a)databay.de <mailto:mbecker@databay.de> and it will be read to the conference.

Security Group

by Michael Jansen

Dear developers/administrators/users, as announced at the ILIAS development conference in Cologne, the Technical Board is looking for volunteers interested in founding/joining a/the ILIAS security group. This is a valuable contribution to the project and we welcome participants with all backgrounds, so you don’t have to be a security research specialist (though you of course may be one). We’re also looking for helpers with strong communication skills, documentation writers and evangelists. The group will first be tasked with supporting our security process [1], i.e. answering to incoming security issues, operating the security tracker and follwing up on issues. We hope to expand the tasks of the group in the future to further develop our security process. Interested people will be invited to a VC meeting (a Doodle link will be provided) where the security process will be introduced in detail to all participants and then we’ll see to find that proper role in our team for you. Best regards Michael Jansen on behalf of the ILIAS e.V. and the Technical Board [1] https://docu.ilias.de/goto.php?target=wiki_5307&client_id=docu#ilPageTocA112

Please set "Fixed in Version" metadata

by Matthias Kunkel

Dear developers, This mail is just a reminder for those of you who are making bugfixes in the ILIAS core project in Mantis. When you fix and commit a bug, please do not forget to add the „Fixed in version“ date in the Mantis report. This is always the next release of the ILIAS version for which this report has been created. Example: bug has been reported for 5.3.12 and is fixed now; next upcoming 5.3 bug fix release is 5.3.16; Release 5.3.16 has to be added to „Fixed in Version“. This information is necessary to build a proper change log at https://mantis.ilias.de/changelog_page.php <https://mantis.ilias.de/changelog_page.php>. Bug fixes only appear in the change log when the „Fixed in Version“ data is set. And we always use these reports from Mantis in the release reports at https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_lm_1719.html <https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_lm_1719.html> (LM „Releases“). Fixed bugs without this data will never appear in these lists! Unfortunately, Mantis allows only one release to be added. But you can add something like „Fixed for 5.4.x and trunk, too“ to the comment field in Mantis as well. This helps users who want to know more about the current status of a bug (fix).

Second developer workshop "View" mechanism

by Burkhardt, Katharina

Dear all As announced, we would like to invite you to participate in the Doodle for the second developer workshop concerning the "View" mechanism: https://doodle.com/poll/w8987yvbvfbz2tk3 Fabian will discuss with you in detail how he understands the mechanism, combining Global Screen Service and NavigationContext Service. Afterwards we are very interested in your opinions, want to explore stumbling blocks and work out solutions and/or a further procedure. The following questions will be important: - Will the interaction between View/Screen and NavigationContext work from your point of view? - From your point of view, are there any other views/screens that have not yet been included in the feature request? What about those that have not yet been classified (LTI view and learning module SCORM (setting: main menu inactive))? - Which views/screens should be maintained in ILIAS 6.0? We are happy if you take a closer look into our feature request (check https://docu.ilias.de/goto_docu_wiki_wpage_5900_1357.html) until the workshop and would be happy about a discussion :-) Best regards Fabian and Katharina -- *Katharina Burkhardt* ILIAS Community Manager Project Manager *Team Core 1* phone +41 31 972 52 30 support-core1(a)studer-raimann.ch *studer + raimann ag* IT- and Learning-Solutions Farbweg 9 CH-3400 Burgdorf main +41 31 972 52 22 studer-raimann.ch -- Wanna know more?
