| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 18:57 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 18:57 |
| replaceafill | i'm at MINED waiting for the second part of the workshop to start | 18:57 |
| th1a | I thought so. | 18:57 |
| th1a | How's it going? | 18:57 |
| replaceafill | how was your demo at the autism center? | 18:57 |
| replaceafill | good, i showed them how to install/configure/setup yesterday | 18:58 |
| th1a | It was at VA CTE, with people from the Autism Center and CTE. | 18:58 |
| replaceafill | today we're talking loading data and using it | 18:58 |
| th1a | The autism thing looks good. | 18:58 |
| th1a | I mean, the overall situation. | 18:58 |
| replaceafill | ah | 18:58 |
| th1a | We found some importer issues too going over that after the general meeting. | 18:58 |
| th1a | Also I think I came up with an acceptable solution to the whole skillset title/tab size problem. | 18:59 |
| th1a | After Welsh and I went back and forth about it for a while. | 18:59 |
| replaceafill | :) | 18:59 |
| replaceafill | what is it? | 18:59 |
| replaceafill | (your solution) | 18:59 |
| th1a | Essentially just use the whole tertiary space as a giant drop down. | 19:01 |
| replaceafill | ah | 19:01 |
| aelkner | ah ha, the drop down persists :) | 19:01 |
| replaceafill | :D | 19:01 |
| replaceafill | ok, time to start | 19:01 |
| replaceafill | see you later guys | 19:01 |
| th1a | I wasn't really anti-drop down. | 19:01 |
| th1a | I'm anti drop down at left. | 19:02 |
| aelkner | makes sense to use the tertiary real estate for one or the other | 19:02 |
| th1a | It is just not worth counting on skillsets having meaningful labels. | 19:03 |
| th1a | More often than not they're going to be long. | 19:03 |
| aelkner | so i'm trying to reproduce the import problem you had yesterday | 19:04 |
| aelkner | i exported (after having fixed the empty year problem i told you about) | 19:04 |
| th1a | Hm? | 19:05 |
| aelkner | then reimported the export, still don't blow away the data | 19:05 |
| th1a | What was that problem? | 19:05 |
| aelkner | i see that the data on my demo instance is really off in the student records | 19:05 |
| aelkner | i was trying to guess what you did to make that happen and do it myself | 19:05 |
| aelkner | so, i have a copy of the good data, i do the export | 19:06 |
| aelkner | it makes a Persons sheet, not a Students and Teachers sheets | 19:06 |
| aelkner | anyway, the demo columns are different in the Persons sheet | 19:06 |
| aelkner | all demos are included, no groups taken into consideration | 19:07 |
| th1a | Does the importer read the column headers to match them? | 19:07 |
| th1a | Or go by position somehow? | 19:07 |
| aelkner | no | 19:07 |
| aelkner | position | 19:07 |
| th1a | Perhaps that isn't wise. | 19:07 |
| *** replaceafill has quit IRC | 19:07 | |
| aelkner | yeah, it's too likely to get that confused | 19:08 |
| th1a | Does it go by the order in the demographics list? | 19:08 |
| th1a | OK, so this is a new bug caused by the student and teacher sheets? | 19:08 |
| aelkner | yes, filtered ofc | 19:08 |
| aelkner | basically | 19:08 |
| aelkner | we need to come up with a more sturdy approach, like using the column headers as you suggested | 19:09 |
| th1a | Yes. | 19:09 |
| aelkner | but it is also confusing to have imports of Student sheets and exports of Persons | 19:09 |
| aelkner | problem is, STudents and Teachers have the year | 19:09 |
| th1a | It is not that confusing. | 19:09 |
| aelkner | ok | 19:09 |
| aelkner | anyway, i'll file the bug now for using the column headers | 19:11 |
| th1a | Well, this would be a high priority. | 19:11 |
| th1a | What do you have going on now? | 19:11 |
| aelkner | oh, i can do it next, but i' just was saying that i'd file the bug | 19:11 |
| th1a | kk. | 19:12 |
| aelkner | i'm going to make cando.virginia, but i was wondering: | 19:12 |
| th1a | How do we test the importers at this point? | 19:12 |
| aelkner | in case there is another virginia package some day, would schooltool.virgina-cte be a better name for the package | 19:13 |
| aelkner | the tests of the importers have test input files that generate predictable errors or successful imports | 19:13 |
| aelkner | we don't have a test for roundtripping, but we should | 19:14 |
| aelkner | thing is, we don't even tests the exporters as files | 19:14 |
| th1a | Yes. I'd consider that a priority. | 19:14 |
| aelkner | for some reason, that was not done by whoever first wrote the exporters | 19:14 |
| aelkner | i'm not sure whether zope TestRunner can't deliver files or what | 19:15 |
| aelkner | i mean, i we could have the file in memory from within a functional tests, i guess we could pass it to the importer | 19:15 |
| aelkner | think we should ask about that on Monday | 19:15 |
| th1a | OK. | 19:16 |
| th1a | We really need to do it. | 19:16 |
| aelkner | i agree | 19:16 |
| aelkner | so, schooltool.virginia-cte or just virginia? | 19:16 |
| th1a | Virginia is fine. | 19:17 |
| aelkner | ok, also, i'm going to change the importer to have that textarea with errors sorted by type | 19:17 |
| aelkner | so i have plenty to do | 19:17 |
| aelkner | hey, can you talk on the phone briefly? | 19:18 |
| th1a | OK. | 19:18 |
| th1a | We're going to have to make some changes to the section importer as well. We can cover that Monday. | 19:18 |
| aelkner | sure, calling you now... | 19:19 |
