What is the need / problem

There are various issues that slow down the developers in their everyday routines.
For instance, when running specs on a non-AUS setup, various tests fail as they are looking for values with “$” as the currency symbol. It does slow down the dev process when there are lots of errors.

Potential solutions that will solve this problem

This is more closely related to tech debt than customer features. I don’t think we need to create icebox items for tech debt / things that are in the realm of the developers. Shall we close this @MyriamBoure and let the devs look after the problem?

Agreed, should be handled as other Tech debt. We should probably just reopen the GH issue and close this topic?

Go for it @sigmundpetersen

7

ok no objection, agree that tech debts should be handled separatly

8

Reopened https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork/issues/1346 and put tech debt label on it.

Did we agree on a Tech debt Epic or GH Project?

@MyriamBoure and I aren’t getting involved in the tech debt management @sigmundpetersen, it takes enough time managing everything else :smiley:

So, best ask the devs how they want to manage it.
