MSI

Project Board | GitHub | Slack

Magento Coordinator: Igor Minialilo

Work this week:

  • MSI is officially a part of the RC package for 2.3.0! Huge props to the team, our community contributors, and specifically the great Igor Miniailo for making it happen!
  • Added a modification to the Stock grid and Product grid showing only 5 assigned with a hover-over tooltip to see the full list of assigned sources. This change helps companies with large numbers of locations/sources easily browse through those pages. By Stepan Furman: #1868.
  • Added README information for MSI modules. DevDocs will review the PR. By Vadim Justus, #1871.
  • MSI has a distance-based Source Select Algorithm in-progress using Google APIs (Latitude/Longitude, configurations) or offline distance calculation. Fantastic new feature which unfortunately won’t make it into 2.3.0 but expect to see very soon. By Riccardo Tempesta (TheRick), #1866.
  • Added Performance updates and fixes. By Lars Roettig, #1869.
  • Released MSI content in the Magento Admin User Guides for Open Source, Commerce, and B2B for 2.3, by Lori Krell. The current wiki user guide will continue as the in-development user guide, tracking the latest PRs and work completed by contributors.
  • Tom Erskine of Magento is joining to help with MFTF. MFTF will now automatically rerun tests that fail as part of Magento’s CICD system. This change will affect PR’s to MSI as they run in our automated testing builds. Also see the MFTF section below.

Open Questions on Architecture and with Piotr:

  • Will we merge this project with the async import?
    Still waiting to hear back from the architecture team as to what the long-term plan is with these two projects. If the end result is that the Async import is to replace the normal import, then I would suggest merging projects would be a good idea here. If not then I would consider getting together with PO and Architecture to talk about what we can do with Import to gather new contributors, improve the system and make sure people are enjoying contribution.
  • Update so skip errors is “working”: #130
    We noticed a couple of things here, firstly the check was not working if you had the exact same amount of errors as you allow, but also the check was checking non-critical errors. During testing we thought it might be ok to check all errors and not just non-critical errors. If a row has a critical error but the others are fine should we not skip these if the user has selected skip errors?
  • Replace functionality: #89
    For me this is a documentation problem and not a code issue. Replace is removing the old products and making new products. I would suggest that we could rename this on the user point, update the form information to tell the user what each version does and maybe update the user documents if they are not clear enough. Does this make sense, or should we rework how replace works?
  • Sending welcome email on import: #85
    Currently the import never sends customer emails. It would be “easy” to add this in but the email sending needs to get the whole customer object as the admin could replace the template with any customer data. This could cause performance issues loading all new customer objects to send emails. Do we have an alternative option from an architecture point of view? Should we create some form of queue here? If so, what is the best way to proceed here to make sure our changes match the architectural team’s guidelines.
  • Different scope level updates: Discussion on #40
    I would suggest that this comment would cover all the cases we found. What would you suggest is the best way forward with this ticket?

 

MFTF

Project Board | GitHub | Slack | DevDocs

Tom Erskine of Magento is working with Community Engineering teams to help understand and work with MFTF to generate and run tests for your projects. He is starting with the MSI project.

 

Important info from Tom on MFTF!

  • MFTF will now automatically rerun tests that fail as part of Magento’s CICD system. This change will affect PR’s to MSI as they run in our automated testing builds.
  • The goal is to identify early potentially flaky tests and/or tests with unintended dependencies to provide faster feedback. This will also allow for potentially fewer required builds as we no longer need to rerun full builds for individual failing tests (in some cases).
  • If you wish to use the rerun functionality locally, use:
    $ bin/mftf run:failed
  • This command reads the_output/failed file and regenerates tests/suites based on file contents
  • Also - for local development and running MFTF tests, we’ve identified a useful performance increase to test run times. Essentially, there is significant overhead in using our AllureAdapter. Disabling it will make tests run faster, at the expense of no longer having local Allure reporting.
  • Read the MFTF DevDocs! You’ll find incredible information to get started with testing.
