== Minutes == | == Minutes == | ||
=== Actions === | |||
* File bugs to get the start-up notifications for Marionette implemented for Firefox/Fennec and Thunderbird (whimboo) | |||
** Not done yet because there are some patches in review. | |||
* Talk to foolip about the Selenium log API and if they would like to spearhead standardising it (AutomatedTester) | |||
** Not done yet. | |||
=== Feedback from FOSDEM === | |||
; whimboo | |||
: [Talks about what FOSDEM was like.] | |||
: There was a talk about Marionette, and it was good. | |||
: He was doing some work for Wikipedia [that he used Marionette for]. | |||
: But the talk would’ve been better if it was using Selenium. | |||
: He mentioned that Selenium doesn’t work since Firefox 55, but I think there was a disconnect between Selenium IDE, FirefoxDriver, and geckodriver. | |||
: I had to clarify this. | |||
: He was not aware that we were phasing out marionette_driver. | |||
: ato has written a patch to move marionette_driver API docs to firefox-source-docs.m.o, but we should add a deprecation warning on there. | |||
'''ACTION whimboo:''' Add deprecation notice to marionette_driver API docs | |||
; ato | |||
: The timing here wasn’t great, because the CFP was before we made the deprecation announcement. | |||
; AutomatedTester | |||
: The most important thing is that he now has a contact. | |||
: We should encourage people to talk about the work that Mozilla produces. | |||
: At least he knows us not, or knows whimboo. | |||
; whimboo | |||
: Last question was: “Is there a way to open a new tab?” | |||
: Yes! I mentioned that we now have it in geckodriver and Firefox 66. | |||
: Last thing remaining is to update the Selenium clients. | |||
=== New Window API === | |||
; whimboo | |||
: Maybe out of scope for this meeting, but perhaps we should discuss what the API should look like. | |||
: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/6873 | |||
: ato wasn’t happy with the patch I did with the WPT WebDriver client. | |||
; AutomatedTester | |||
: Jim has implemented in the C# bindings, where he has <code>switch_to_new_window</code>. | |||
: I quite like that. | |||
: Hardly ever is anyone going to create a new window but not switch to it. | |||
: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/py/selenium/webdriver/remote/switch_to.py | |||
: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/commit/494926783058d5bea30c71c9cd1a8f2be2deafc0#diff-85c69322756e01fd4a7a22de55e19743 | |||
; ato | |||
: [Discusses differences between WPT WebDriver client and Selenium WebDriver client APIs with AutomatedTester.] | |||
; whimboo | |||
: Let me have a look at this. | |||
'''ACTION whimboo:''' Get the new window method implemented for the Python binding | |||
=== Python 3 support === | |||
; whimboo | |||
: We don’t have Python 3 support for marionette_driver in central. | |||
: Python 2.7 life is coming to and end early 2020. | |||
: The mozbase packages are nearly there, so once that is done we could have a look. | |||
: If support, e.g. via six, is easy we could ship it before the last release of the client. | |||
=== <code>await</code> in WebDriver:{ExecuteScript,ExecuteAsyncScript} === | |||
; whimboo | |||
: I wonder if we should get support for <code>await</code> inside the wrapped function. | |||
: We don’t explicitly mark the internal function we create as async. | |||
: Do we want to allow it? | |||
; ato | |||
: I think the expectation is that the anonymous function should work like a promise function. | |||
: Mike rewrote the spec prose, which was originally done by jleyba, and may have misunderstood. | |||
: But at least the spec now uses the W3C Promises guide correctly for its ''internal'' algorithm. | |||
: Christian Bromann also had the expectation that the inner wrapping function should be async when he wrote WPT tests for this. | |||
; whimboo | |||
: Should we add this to the specification? | |||
; ato | |||
: Yes, we should probably do. | |||
: But I don’t know how! | |||
; whimboo | |||
: I nearly got all the WPT promise tests working, but it sounds like we need a specification change here. | |||
; ato | |||
: We also want to get rid of sandboxes, but it’s not really related to conformance. | |||
; whimboo | |||
: Yeah, let’s leave that for now. | |||
=== geckodriver 0.24.0 release === | |||
; whimboo | |||
: I made a release! | |||
: I’ve also updated the release documentation. | |||
: I’m now comfortable making more releases in the future. | |||
: I wonder how much should publicise the releases? | |||
; ato | |||
: I used to send emails to selenium-users@ and selenium-developers@, but I don’t anymore because I’ve stopped subscribing to them. | |||
; whimboo | |||
: Maybe writing a blog post? | |||
; ato | |||
: That sounds like a good idea. | |||
: I have written at least a couple of those in the past, but I’ve stopped. | |||
