-Back-compat investigation:
+# Known Bugs:
- - Get engines tested:
- - Catalyst-Engine-Zeus
- - Catalyst-Engine-XMPP2
- - Catalyst-Engine-HTTPEngine
- - Catalyst-Engine-HTTP-Prefork
- - Catalyst-Engine-SCGI
- - Catalyst-Engine-Wx
+ - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
+ twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
-Known issues:
- - CatalystX-Imports, Class::MOP doesn't consider anon subs in the symbol
- table as methods, tests + fix, or explanation and documentation?
- (rafl & phaylon)
-
- - Catalyst-Log-Log4perl Deep recursion on subroutine "MockApp::setup"
- (rafl)
-
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Cache dies due to mk_accessors('meta')
-
- - CatalystX-CRUD and CatalystX-CRUD-ModelAdapter-DBIC
- fail tests against 5.80 (karpet)
+ Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
- - Catalyst-Plugin-Authorization-ACL fails as
- Catalyst::Dispatcher::_do_forward does not fix arguments if you throw
- an exception. Needs a test case (Caelum)
-
- - Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication new release.
-
- - Catalyst::Action::RenderView
- - Catalyst::Plugin::DebugCookie
- - Conflict with each other: $c->config->{debug}->{foo} = 'bar'
- now breaks, unsure why..
+ - Bricas' Exception blog post
- - Fix memory leaks (I already tried Devel::Leak::Object, but no joy).
+ http://bricas.vox.com/library/post/catalyst-exceptionclass.html
-Cleanups:
+ Broken by recent exception refactoring
- - 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.
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
- - 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)
+ - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+ class method (TESTS).
- - Find whatever in the test suite craps a file called GLOB(0xfoo) onto my
- disk and fix it. (Believed to be in the optional TEST_HTTP tests?) (t0m)
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
-Documentation:
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
- - Manual / Tutorial updates
+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.
- - extends in components with attributes must be inside a BEGIN block.
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.
- - How to write Moosified Catalyst components.
+See also: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Dispatch and
+http://github.com/willert/catalyst-plugin-log4perl-simple/tree
- - Fix the Roadmap to be less full of lies.
-
- - Document all other known failure cases / upgrade issues.
-
- - Tidy up / finish off incompatibility warnings etc.

+# REFACTORING
-Reported bugs:
+## The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
- - Issues with TWMC not being loaded when it used to be in 5.70
- (Bill Moseley)
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+ I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
-Profiling:
+## App / ctx split:
- - vs 5.70 and optimisation as needed.
-
-Tests:
-
- - Moosified test application?
-
- - Test & document warnings from back-compat methods in Catalyst::Dispatcher
-
- - Test & document warnings from plugin method on Catalyst
+ 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 :)
+ - 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)
