Chris and talked today and decided it would be good to let this list know what we were doing in the last week. Or to share an interesting story from the last week. If you think that is not a good idea, let me know.
Until somebody complains, let me tell you a story... :) Chris and I pair for at least one hour every week, usually on Friday. As usual, we paired today on fixing IE6-8 upload wizard failing test[1][2][3]. It fails all the time at Sauce Labs, but it was working fine for us on virtual machines with IE6 and IE8. Long story short, we ran out of time. The only difference we have noticed is that we are running the tests on Ruby 2.0 at Sauce Labs and virtual machines had Ruby 1.9.3. That could cause the problem, but not likely. InternetExplorerDriver was also out of date. That was more likely to cause the problem. I will update Ruby and InternetExplorerDriver in the virtual machines. If the test still works fine there, but fails at Sauce Labs next steps are: - disable the test for IE6-8 - write a Bugzilla[4] bug saying the test should be enabled and the failure fixed (so it is not forgotten) We have decided that we want the tests back to green, even if that means we have to disable the test that is known to fail. Comments? Have a story to share from last week that you think this list would be interested in?
