-Pending patches:
- - meta test for MX::Emulate::CAF needed by Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Curried
+# Known Bugs:
-Back-compat investigation / known issues:
+ - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
+ twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
- - Common engine test failures, look into and get tests into core.
+ Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
- - CatalystX-Imports, Class::MOP doesn't consider anon subs in the symbol
- table as methods, tests + fix, or explanation and documentation?
- (rafl & phaylon)
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
- - Run another round of repository smokes against latest 5.80 trunk, manually
- go through all the things which are broken (t0m).
-
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Server dies due to "package is not defined" error
- which was reduced to a warning, retest.
-
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Cache dies due to mk_accessors('meta')
-
- - Catalyst-Action-REST appears to have real issues, investigate
-
- - Catalyst-Model-Search ditto
-
- - CatalystX-CRUD ditto
-
- - Catalyst-Engine-Apache - Deep recursion on subroutine
- "Catalyst::Action::execute", investigate once all other tests pass
-
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Scheduler
- - Catalyst-Engine-HTTPEngine
- - Catalyst-View-HTML-Template
- - Catalyst-View-XSLT
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Setenv
- - Catalyst-Plugin-RequireSSL - Bullshit 'cannot locate' errors
- Bug in smoke test rig.
-
- - Catalyst::Plugin::HTML::Widget - Undefined subroutine
- &HTML::Widget::Result::attributes called at
- lib/perl5/HTML/Widget/Result.pm line 68.
+ - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+ class method (TESTS).
- - Issues with TWMC not being loaded when it used to be in 5.70
- (Bill Moseley)
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
- - Fix memory leaks (I already tried Devel::Leak::Object, but no joy).
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
- - In 5.70, you can have a component which doesn't inherit from ::Component,
- and has no new method, and it'll do the right thing for you. We just
- ignore that, we should still support that, but warn for/deprecate it so
- it can go for 5.9X...
- This all obviously needs better tests :/
+So Catalyst::Plugin::Log::* can die
+in a fire. Having $c->log_class would be a good start. kane volunteered
+to do some of this.
-Cleanups:
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Authorization-ACL, Can't locate object method "tree"
- via package "Catalyst::Dispatcher", fix the plugin as tree was never
- a public method.
+See also: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Dispatch and
+http://github.com/willert/catalyst-plugin-log4perl-simple/tree
- - Catalyst-Model-Akismet, incorrectly inherits from
- Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext, should compose as a role.
- Fix the module.
-
- - Update Test suite to not assume MyApp ISA Controller
- - After that set up attr handlers that will output helpful error messages
- when you do it as well as how to fix it. (done already?)
+# REFACTORING
- - Comments marked /Moose TODO/i in Catalyst::Request re {_body} (t0m)
+## PSGI
- - Eliminate all instances of $instance->{$key}, I think the only thing
- left is lib/Catalyst/Engine/HTTP.pm: $self->{inputbuf}, which I haven't
- touched as it is used as an lvalue in a lot of places (t0m)
+### Blockers
- - Find whatever in the test suite craps a file called GLOB(0xfoo) onto my
- disk and fix it. (Believed to be in the optional tests?) (t0m)
+ * properly pass along server arguments
+ * Add some tests for Catalyst::Test::local_request
-Documentation:
+### Nice to have
- - extends in components must be inside a BEGIN block.
+ * throw out Catalyst::Test's remote_request in favour of
+ Plack::Test::ExternalServer
+ * make sure we're running under a server that support psgi.streaming - maybe
+ just load the BufferedWrite middleware, although that might break things
+ relying on ->write doing an unbuffered write
+ * throw away the restarter and allow using the restarters Plack provides
+ * remove per-request state from the engine instance
+ * be smarter about how we use PSGI - not every response needs to be delayed
+ and streaming
- - How to write Moosified Catalyst components.
+## The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
- - Manual / Tutorial updates
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+ I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
- - Fix the Roadmap to be less full of lies.
+## App / ctx split:
-Profiling:
+ NOTE - these are notes that t0m thought up after doing back compat for
+ catalyst_component_class, may be inaccurate, wrong or missing things
+ bug mst (at least) to correct before trying more than the first 2
+ steps. Please knock yourself out on the first two however :)
- - vs 5.70 and optimisation as needed.
-
-Tests:
-
- - Moosified test application?
+ - Eliminate actions in MyApp from the main test suite
+ - Uncomment warning in C::C::register_action_methods, add tests it works
+ by mocking out the logging..
+ - Remove MyApp @ISA controller (ask metaclass if it has attributes, and if
+ so you need back compat :/)
+ - Make Catalyst::Context, move the per request stuff in there, handles from
+ main app class to delegate
+ - Make an instance of the app class which is a global variable
+ - Make new instance of the context class, not the app class per-request
+ - Remove the components as class data, move to instance data on the app
+ class (you probably have to do this for _all_ the class data, good luck!)
+ - Make it possible for users to spin up different instances of the app class
+ (with different config etc each)
+ - Profit! (Things like changing the complete app config per vhost, i.e.
+ writing a config loader / app class role which dispatches per vhost to
+ differently configured apps is piss easy)
