Avoiding devstack-specific values post js-based config

Brian Smith

• Relevant issue

• Relevant PR comment

• Tentative consensus that config files shouldn’t be committed to MFE repos with hard-coded assumptions about the environment they’re running in

• A large DEPR conversation about switching to .env to .js: David will type it up in a proper DEPR ticket

Enzyme Deprecation

Ben Warzeski

https://github.com/openedx/wg-frontend/issues/166

• Come up with guidance on how to migrate

  • Even if it’s just links to PRs that already did the migration

  • Checklist in the DEPR ticket

  • David Joy (Deactivated) suggests looking for automation to help with the migration

  • Jeremy Bowman (Deactivated):This might be useful for reference: https://blog.sentry.io/sentrys-frontend-tests-migrating-from-enzyme-to-react-testing-library/

• Timeline? React 17 is not being deprecated any time soon, but when we upgrade to 18, the migration is required

• No new code should be written in enzyme starting now; update OEP-11

• Get DEPR process started sooner rather than later; Jesper Hodge or Adam Stankiewicz might write the DEPR ticket itself

• Communicate the deprecation to the community

Upgrades status

Jeremy Bowman

• Node 16->18 upgrade nearly complete (modulo outliers like edx-platform)

• react-router 5->6 upgrade is well along, draft PRs already in most repos

  • Ok to check in the upgrade if it’s already done

  • David Joy (Deactivated) : is there a way to leverage frontend-platform to make the upgrade saner? (A new component that all MFEs import)

    • Not needed right now

• React 16->17 upgrade next after that, expected to be straightforward

• React 17->18 blocked by Enzyme issue

MFE dev pain points poll

Jeremy Bowman

• Is anything particularly painful for MFE dev in Tutor?

• Same for devstack

• Pondering stub servers/pact as project for summer intern; anything higher priority in this space, or does that work?

  • Ben Warzeski (Deactivated): further discussion on API contracts (frontend study group?)

  • Jeremy Bowman (Deactivated): Unit tests of provider need to honor the contract

    • Automation system that holds contracts and notifies consumers when they change

    • https://pact.io/
