swift-corelibs-xctest JIRA dashboard

Development Core Libraries
1

Hello all!

If you're like me, you might be curious how Core Libraries like
swift-corelibs-xctest are doing with regards to the looming Swift 3.0
release. Well, wonder no more -- this handy JIRA dashboard has the
information you need:

The dashboard not only lists tasks that need to be resolved by Swift 3.0,
but also open starter tasks for new contributors.

Let me know if you find it useful! I personally think it'd be neat to have
one of these for all the swift-corelibs-* projects, what do you all think?
:)

PS: For those interested, the dashboard is implemented using custom task
filters:

- corelibs-xctest Open Tasks: Issues · apple/swift · GitHub
- corelibs-xctest Open 3.0 Tasks:
Issues · apple/swift · GitHub
- corelibs-xctest Open Starter Tasks:
Issues · apple/swift · GitHub

To track tasks related to Swift 3.0, I created a new "swift-3.0" label in
JIRA. I hope no one minds. (+cc Jordan Rose, I've seen him managing labels
on JIRA before.)

Following up on Brian's JIRA dashboard for XCTest, I copied his model and created a dashboard for SwiftPM:
  https://bugs.swift.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10409
and defined several useful SwiftPM public filters:

- Package Manager All Tasks: Issues · apple/swift · GitHub
- Package Manager Open Tasks: Issues · apple/swift · GitHub
- Package Manager Open 3.0 Tasks: Issues · apple/swift · GitHub
- Package Manager Open Starter Tasks: Issues · apple/swift · GitHub

Thanks to Brian for the inspiration!

- Daniel

This is slick!

I would love to have one for Foundation too (although my understanding of JIRA is limited at best).

Brian Gesiak started started one for foundation. It seems it's only missing some trimming and labeling of issues:

···

David,

I actually started on one! Issues · apple/swift · GitHub :)

Like you mentioned, I don't have a ton of context on the project, so I'm a little hesitant to decide what should be tagged with "swift-3.0".

Still, one thing that stands out: swift-corelibs-foundation has only one task with the StarterBug label! I wonder if some tasks can be cleaned up, given clearer instructions, and labeled as a starter task...

I took a few moments to file a few more starters for Foundation (hopefully I should be able to fill out a few more soon). I ran across a some nice ones that should be relatively trivial to knock out. I think for Foundation the marker for a good starter bug would be things that are highly testable with a reduced scope of interfaces. Formatter subclasses are a great point to start with. Some of the NSUnimplemented methods are minefields that would require runtime support, whereas others are great points to start with.

Furthermore there will likely be a few good ones that will come in when the proposals start to land; there is a lot of busy work with the whole naming changes. So stay tuned on that front.

Of course, as David mentioned, task curation is what makes these dashboards really shine. Try assigning the "swift-3.0" label to tasks that should be taken care of in time for its release. Also, I noticed swift-corelibs-foundation doesn't have many tasks with the "StarterBug" label. I think those are a great way to encourage more people to contribute.

I would love to help out, but can't get the Xcode workspace to compile due the the `return Int(self.native.bitPattern)` issue.

Is a new development toolchain likely to be released soon, as I'm struggling to build my own toolchain.

Regards,

Rob...

My suggestion to work around this issue: revert that commit locally - the rest should build fine. Unfortunately the change was made without a workaround for a deprecated transition when the new accessor was added so we had a hard transition that required a full rebuild or else the CI would break on Linux.
