Sure aerozol: your help will be great

aerozol: that would be great

outsidecontext: done, I’ll assume that when stuff goes on the blog it’s okay to also share elsewhere, let me know if that’s ever not the case

aerozol: I'm fine with that :) thanks a lot

Any time! I’m starting to feel nice and comfortable with MeB communications now

It helps that nowhere is as scary as our very own forums :P

zas: it seems static.brainz doesn't actually work (yet) so I'm using staticbrainz for now

ApeKattQuest: it does -> https://static.metabrainz.org/irombook/autoharp...

zas: yes but but it does not show here https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/dc17c2a...

aerozol: what's scary about our forums? :D

ApeKattQuest: yeah, that will only show after the next release

So, in beta soon, elsewhere in two weeks or so I guess?

Hi akshaaatt !

Hi theflash_ !

[musicbrainz-server] 14reosarevok merged pull request #2950 (03master…test-js-utilities): Split and improve JS utilities tests https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

The api you told me to work on is giving data in this format

After entering the authorisation header == token

Can you bring more light to how we have to use token to fetch listens

That looks good but why don't you have any data?

The token is unique for every user

It’s like your password

Username is chill. Anyone could know your username

But only the people with your token (ideally only you) can view your private stuff as well

A lot of stuff on LB is public

For example, your listens

So you won’t need a token for it

But for accessing things like your settings, etc, a token is essential

Same way, a feed is unique to the user and requires a token so that only you can access your feed

Do go through the LB docs to figure out which api requires a token and which doesn’t

Makes sense, theflash_ ?

My feed is empty when I go to the lb website, that’s why it is not showing

Cool, makes sense then

You should probably follow a few people on LB

Follow me for instance! akshaaatt is my username there

Ya gotcha!!!

akshaaatt: I want to know that how can we use token to prevent hard-code in the user-listens api

[musicbrainz-server] 14reosarevok opened pull request #2970 (03master…MBS-13130): Mbs 13130 https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

lol, forgot to fix the name :) Anyway, new edit icon then

[musicbrainz-server] 14reosarevok merged pull request #2967 (03master…MBS-13131): MBS-13131: Move staticbrainz to static.metabrainz for instruments https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

As I said theflash_ , the users listens api doesn’t need a token

So what you can do is just keep the username dynamic for dev ease

Alright!

[musicbrainz-server] 14reosarevok merged pull request #2715 (03master…more-perl-critic-builtinfunctions): Follow more Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions rules https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

aerozol: ^^ lolololol

😂😂😂😂😂😂

bitmap: around? :)

🐟

ApeKattQuest: cool new username :D

reminds me of the ape titan

so funny little story: in norwegian "monkey" is literally "ape cat"

apekatt

:D

Pratha-Fish: thanks :D

lmao ape cat sounds suitable for a monkey

YES!

so guess what hare is?

smol cat?

hare, but also "harepus" hare pussy(cat)

hehe as expected

it amuses me

W Norwegian

reosarevok: yeah

Pratha-Fish, bitmap: hi! :)

Hellow ^_^

though "pus" isn't necessary cat, but the sensation of something soft and furry. something can be "pusete" and that's the feeling of.. well you ever petted a tiny kitten or a very soft furry thing? that's "pusete"

How do things feel so far?

"pus" feels soft and furry, I guess

reosarevok: YES

But GSoC things :D

🐟

reosarevok: the project feels nice so far :D

Just a little confused with what to do lol

Not to mention, we're a little behind the schedule due to my own few issues 🥲

So I'm a little worried about that too

The summer is long, we can manage I'm sure :)

But yeah. bitmap: how do you feel re: that PR?

Pratha-Fish: how much have you tested it? Did you manage to test the autoedit bit?

reosarevok: ye, and worst case scenario, GSoC projects can be extended by a few weeks since last year :)

the PR looks good to me, I did leave one comment and it would be nice to have tests, but otherwise it's nice

I think "having tests for the bot" is a big thing we need to work on

Pratha-Fish: do you have a local musicbrainz-server setup that you can run tests against?

reosarevok: bitmap I am testing the new features with this little script, which is totally unideal https://github.com/Prathamesh-Ghatole/MusicBrai...

that's good actually, we just need to automate it :)

bitmap: I don't have a musicbrainz-server setup unfortunately. I just hit the test.musicbrainz.org website for everything

bitmap: sounds good :D

The only issue with the script I've found so far is that it doesn't test everything in a function.

also reosarevok I haven't tested the autoedit bit yet, I was unaware of it untill yesterday

No worries :)

ok. yeah, test.mb is fine for manual testing, but you'll need a local server for automated tests

https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docker will be the easiest method

bitmap: Aight, I'll go ahead and set it up then :)

How resource intensive is it tho?

My dev environment is a WSL setup running debian on Windows 11. It's limited to 8GB of memory in WSL (I have 16GB total). Would it be enough?

well, you don't need a full database imported (in fact you don't even need a sample DB, you'll have be running the tests against an empty test DB)

infact I'd prefer an empty db, as the complete db always throws errors when I try to put an existing ISO 3166 code in a test area lol

the requirements are documented in the README too. since you don't need search indexes either, I guess 8GB would more than suffice

Yeah, an empty db should work just fine

epic!

I mean, IIRC my work laptop has 8GB and I manage fine

(with no local search server)

yeah, I guess you would skip the createdb.sh step entirely? not sure

bitmap: more generally, I assume we can eventually make it so that tests are ran automatically with CI in github as well?

yep, there is a tests-database Dockerfile in musicbrainz-server it could probably use

reosarevok: CI would be sick. I don't know much about it either, so I am eager to learn and implement it

I haven't really configured ours either, so I wouldn't mind learning with you, lol, but that means I hope bitmap can teach it :D

hmm this might actually be easier than musicbrainz-docker

Which also reminds me, the codebase for the area bot is currently hosted here: https://github.com/Prathamesh-Ghatole/MusicBrai...

It might be a good idea to move it to MetaBrainz github maybe

bitmap: would it be a good idea to dockerize the whole area bot too?

Eventually, yes

Because we'll want it to run in a container in our setup

Like mb2wikidatabot

At what step of the work that should happen I dunno, bitmap, what do you think?

yes, we can worry about that at the end though

not sure why https://hub.docker.com/r/metabrainz/musicbrainz... 404s...

reosarevok: Great, I'll start learning docker too then. ig we might have a good idea of the timeline of implementing everything within the time bounds of this project during the second half of the summer
