I'm working on the metadata cleaner again. and I am looking for examples of common useless guff that is found at the end of track names in parens.

Arguably live or demo are not useless but I assume this is for some sort of canonical thing?

not useless, but often not useful for finding a match.

yvanzo: also, https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13233 seems a lot smaller than the others, wonder if it makes sense to do the autoselect - are we going to do that for every country's platform?

MBS-13233: Autoselect the ticketing relationship for Eventfinda links

I'm thinking maybe it's enough for us to have a ticketing rel and people can hand-select it...
lucifer: I made some progress yesterday using react-testing-library along with Enzyme in our tests, as we discussed, and converted one test file (which took hours as I'm learning to use the library). Works a treat !
(i also had an open question on https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/… about whether the change would be accepted if i added more event handlers to completely emulate normal focus-cycling)

i think that they can be merged in an arbitrary order, but i wasn't sure if there's any way to express that. the roman numerals surprised me a bit, to be honest!

derat: Ok but #3006 alone doesn’t resolve any issue, does it?
2023-08-16 22818, 2023
derat
yvanzo: #3006 enables tab, enter, tab, enter, etc. to be used to select the first recording for each track, which is the primary functionality i care about for MBS-13207. #3008 is nice to have since once the first recording has the focus, it fixes the normal radio button behavior of being able to use the arrow keys to select other recordings
derat: Ok I tested it locally and found a way to reproduce this specific issue separately :)

derat: I tried the two patches together now and it makes funny things when using arrow keys to select the recording: the order of the suggested recordings may change.
2023-08-16 22848, 2023
derat
yvanzo: i'm not sure how #3006 could be contributing to that -- is it possible that you also see that just with #3008? i haven't been able to figure out how to test with a long list of recordings locally (probably because i don't have working search in my local setup), but i did notice some flickering that suggested to me that another search is

being performed whenever a new recording is selected. i'll try to see if i can repro what you're seeing locally...
Then track #1, there are 3 recordings for “Mr Self Destruct”.

You can switch the search field to use direct search (below when scrolling).

there must be something strange with my musicbrainz-docker setup. when i do the same thing, i see recordings listed in the dropdown after doing a direct search, but when i click one, it often doesn't show up as a radio button (although it *does* get associated with the track). this is without my changes
2023-08-16 22826, 2023
derat
tbh, this seems a bit weird even on musicbrainz.org. when i create a new release as a dupe of an existing one, all of the tracks are associated with the expected recordings but the "edit" bubble for each only has a radio button for "Add a new recording". when i search for a track's name and click a recording, the track association is updated and
2023-08-16 22827, 2023
derat
now there are radio buttons for both the original recording from the duplicated release and for "Add a new recording". if i click the original recording's radio button, the track association is updated and the recording that i selected previously gets a radio button too.
2023-08-16 22837, 2023
derat
that is, i think i'm seeing exactly the behavior that you described on musicbrainz.org too. it's just a bit harder to trigger since you need to repeatedly click on radio buttons to focus them since the search field keeps stealing the focus
2023-08-16 22815, 2023
derat
every time i click on a recording and then on "Add a new recording", the radio buttons get reshuffled. it looks like it's moving the last-selected recording up to the top of the list
2023-08-16 22835, 2023
yvanzo
derat: Correct, it’s just harder to trigger at the moment than with your patches, but definitely not cause by those. Will fill a separate issue about it.

I think there’s still a bunch of services vying to be the replacement, but basically I’ve decided that it’s not too much work to post to a bunch. But it does create more profiles for MeB to upkeep longterm so it’s not a no-brainer

Yeah, mastodon seems like “our” audience. But let’s not forget that we have a huge silent audience as well (the non-tech one). But I think we can hit both just fine
