-Back-compat investigation:
+# Known Bugs:
- - Get engines tested:
- - Catalyst-Engine-Zeus
- - Catalyst-Engine-XMPP2
- - Catalyst-Engine-HTTPEngine
- - Catalyst-Engine-HTTP-Prefork
- - 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, new version of fixed plugin (rafl), explanation of
- the issue in Catalyst::Upgrading (groditi)
-
- - Catalyst-Log-Log4perl Deep recursion on subroutine "MockApp::setup"
- (rafl)
+ Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
- - CatalystX-CRUD and CatalystX-CRUD-ModelAdapter-DBIC
- fail tests against 5.80 (karpet)
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
- - 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..
+ - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+ class method (TESTS).
-Cleanups:
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
-18:01 <@mst> hmm. I think that warning should show what it found
-18:01 <@mst> and say "you probably called ->model("Sessions") when you meant ->model("DB::Sessions")" or whatever
-18:05 <@mst> unsafe_component_use_ok
-18:05 <@mst> like we did for BindLex
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
+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.
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.
- - 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.
+See also: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Dispatch and
+http://github.com/willert/catalyst-plugin-log4perl-simple/tree
- - 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)
+# REFACTORING
- - 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)
+## The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
-Documentation:
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+ I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
- - Manual / Tutorial updates
+## App / ctx split:
- - extends in components with attributes must be inside a BEGIN block.
+ 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 :)
- - How to write Moosified Catalyst components.
+ - 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)
- - Fix the Roadmap to be less full of lies.
+## GSOC
- - Catalyst/Upgrading.pod
+### Next large steps:
-Reported bugs:
+ - Moving setup_components etc into the container
- - Issues with TWMC not being loaded when it used to be in 5.70
- (Bill Moseley)
+ - Move setup_components down into the container (setup_components becomes a one or two line method in Catalyst.pm)
-Profiling:
+ - refactor / cleanup setup_component
- - vs 5.70 and optimisation as needed.
+ - Move locate_components
-Tests:
+ - Move contents of setup_components
- - Moosified test application?
-
- - Test & document warnings from plugin method on Catalyst
+ - Finished documentation for ::IOC parts.
+
+ - Creating service()-like sugar for component
+
+ - Test cases for extending the container in an application.
+ - Using the sugar added in the previous item
+ - Test when Model::Foo depends_on Model::Bar
+
+ - Allowing people to change component lifecycles
+
+ role Service::WithAcceptContext {}
+ role Service::WithCOMPONENT {}
+ class Service::CatalystComponent extends Service with (WithAcceptContext, WithCOMPONENT) {}
+
+ a) configure additional services in that container
+ - super simple container $default_container => as { more services };
+ class MyApp::Container extends Catalyst::Container {
+ use Bread::Board; # Or our own sugar?
+ method BUILD { container $self => as {
+ service model => ...; # some constructor injection to MyApp::Model or something
+ container Model => as {
+ component Foo => (dependencies => ['/model']); # As per default!
+ component Bar => (dependencies => ['/model/Foo']); # Magic!
+ };
+ # Note - implementation of BB may need to be changed to support making sure existing
+ # services actually get overridden. not sure how the default container behaves when doing that
+ # above code would build the constructor injection as it currently does,
+ # defaulting to the class name in the right namespace as declared by the surrounding container
+ # as well as adding using the catalyst-specific service class
+ } }
+ };
+ b) make component services depend on that, and
+
+
+ c) ask for those
+ services declared in a) outside of a web context
+ simple as well. $customised_container->fetch('service')->get # or whatever the api was
+
+19:23 < andrewalker> edenc, when explaining to me how it should be, drafted this: https://gist.github.com/1098186
+19:26 < edenc> I like the possibility of being able to provide a backwards-compatible structure which we can muck around with by configuring B::B
+19:26 <@rafl> so, the request context clearly isn't a service
+19:27 <@rafl> but that's ok. there's parametrised services
+19:27 < edenc> yeah, that was a draft
+19:27 <@rafl> the outer Foo service is pretty much what i'd expect Service::WithAcceptContext to do, except with a dependency on a context instead of a service parameter
+19:32 <@rafl> actually having services for the pre-ACCEPT_CONTEXT bits is what i want to think about
+
+### To polish off
+
+ - Document current methods
+ - + $class->container->get_sub_container('model')->make_single_default;
++ $class->container->get_sub_container('view')->make_single_default;
+
+### Known issues
+
+ - Broken $instance->expand_modules() in setup_components and figure
+ out later how to bring it back
+
+ - expand_component_module
