update to Concordion 2.1.0 #15
Comments
@eugene-griaznov would you be interested to help compiling Concordon.NET against the sources of Concordion 2.1.0? |
Yes, I would be interested. As much as I will have time. |
Greetings... I'm wondering if any work has been done at this point on moving Concordian.NET to v2 of Concordian. |
Not yet, but I'm keen to see it. We've seen a 5-fold increase in Concordion (Java) usage with Concordion 2.0. The current status is:
In terms of a project team to port and support the implementation:
Are you interested in joining the team @jproSea ? Specification structureCommon Specificationscommands Java specificjava/integration .NET specificdotnet/attributes |
Thanks for the detailed status. Yes, I would be interested in helping make it happen. |
Thanks for your offers of help @eugene-griaznov and @jproSea. I'll have a bit of time to start looking at what needs doing next week. The plan is to start from the concordion-net native port. Initially we'll do a delta between that level of code base and the latest Java code and investigate what needs doing. We'll also be creating some shared specs between Java and .NET. |
My presentation for the user group is at http://concordion.org/presentations/2017-07-Concordion.NET/. All comments welcome please! It's under a creative commons license, so feel to fork it and present it to other meetup groups yourselves :) |
Videos now added to this presentation :) |
Interested. |
Hi, I'm interested in helping in this project. Cheers, kimmo |
Hi @eugene-griaznov, @jproSea, @yemo, @Navatha24, @KimmoMW, Thanks for your offers to help with Concordion.NET development. @ShaKaRee has been involved in development of both the original code base, and the code base that was cross-compiled from Java using IKVM. He's now too busy to support it, but is open for questions and will help guide the project. As a first step, I propose we move to a stable base for Concordion.NET. As detailed above, this would be based on the original native .NET code base, and would implement a set of specifications that are common to both the Java and .NET codebases. I have refactored the Java code to extract the common specifications into a new repository https://github.com/concordion/concordion-specification-common, and then included these as a Steps:
I propose that we have a Slack channel to co-ordinate this, and have set up a #concordion-net channel on concordion.slack.com. Hopefully, you'll get an invitation to this - let me know if you can't join it. Let us know if you have bandwidth and interest in implementing the steps above. @ShaKaRee - let me know if I missed anything, or you disagree with the approach? |
If you could all send me your email addresses to nigel.charman.nz at gmail, I'll add you to the Slack channel |
I'm interested in helping as well. Sending my mail to @nigelcharman Angelo |
@ShaKaRee I sent a query to @concordion on Twitter too. No need to reply to both. I would consider getting involved with ongoing work on concordion.net, but would need to seek permission from my organisation. I can't ask that kind of question just yet, as I am a newly-arrived contractor. I've been tasked with developing a test framework for an application for which Concordion is clearly a better fit than a BDD framework such as SpecFlow. C# is mandated, and MarkDown is a better fit than HTML. And then I see that:
This is disappointing. I would love to use Concordion for this project. (1) Can I ask for an update? (2) Is my code repo link current? https://github.com/concordion/concordion.net.git Many thanks, Nick |
Hi Nick @ShaKaRee has stood down from leading this work due to time constraints. I understand he is still keen to answer questions from anyone picking it up. I think your timeframe is about right. It would be great if someone were able to kick Concordion.NET back into life and bring it back up to speed with the latest features, including Markdown. As you'll see, we've had a number of people interested in helping out on this thread, some of whom may still be keen. Updates
Decision
@ShaKaRee did find some performance issues with the cross-compiled code, and made some workarounds to Concordion Java to improve performance of Concordion.NET. Either way, I'd be keen that we get down to a single repository and improve clarity for future users/committers. Which option would be preferred by those interested? Nigel |
I forgot to mention that the PR concordion/concordion-net#27 could be the first step for option 2. |
currently Concordion.NET is based on Concordion 1.5. It should be updated to the latest version
