July 4th Update
Reminder: this is mostly about our current work. No one is full time nor working regular hours per week. This makes it super difficult to estimate when the item listed below will be ticked off.
Changes (status) in bold
FInished
- Split checkout: DONE
- Basic white label: This is DONE - More on Github Epic & Discourse
In Play
- Tax reports: These have bounced around Code Review and Dev and Test a lot but the last issue is now in Review Just as @Rachel returns so hopefully this is the last time [Reports] Enterprise Fees with Tax Report · Issue #6815 · openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork · GitHub
- Backoffice UI uplift: A great team with @Mario @dcook and @jibees working on this. Things are progressing quickly on a separate branch and we are expecting to bring back into master behind a feature toggle in the not too distant future. First step towards Network 2.0 - our product list is getting a face lift. Also AngularJS will be removed from the product list. This will lay the ground for every shiny new experience network 2.0 is about.
Context: Backoffice Product List table user interface uplift 1
- DFC product API mapping: Product Work is being finalised. Lots of delays as the OFN team drive the DFC process forward. @maikel is leading on this. This project is being funded by FR DFC, UK FDC and AU. Here is the epic for the remaining work.
- Legally compliant invoices: previously called “History of invoice changes”: @abdellani is now working on this as his main project! Trace order amendments through invoice lines and generate legally compliant invoices - #46 by Rachel
- Vouchers & credits: Some work to refactor and ensure that vouchers work alongside other complex aspects of our checkout So this is still in play and way over budget. After current issues have been released this work will pause until further funding is secured. Find the epic here. Full spec on Discourse here.
- Bye-bye angular: No change A long and ongoing project to remove AngularJS and replace with the reactive rails stack
- Reports with download links: No changes. Reports will soon be handled by a background job. We want to push this work further and allow in the future very big report to be downloaded (this will required to send a link to the user).
Additions
- Replace Datadog: We have explored Sentry as a replacement to our expensive Datadog plan, however it doesn’t tick all the boxes. Back to the drawing board @Matt-Yorkley
- Product Refactor: Removing master variants has happened Now on to the details. More here and here - Part 1 to 3
Backlog
- Supporting docker for contributors : No change When new contributors want to work on the project they often use docker on their local machine. But no one in the core team uses it, so it’s often not working properly. We want to change this.
- Fix ofn-install build : No changes - Github
- Improve VCR testing: No changes - This automated tool will enable us to test automatically Stripe. It would avoid a lot of bugs in the future!
- API test automation: No changes As we are progressing with building our API, we need to lay the structure for its automated testing**
- Release test automation: No changes, but progressing Testers are spending around an hour each week to test the release. what a joy it would bring to them to stop doing this repetitive task.
Up next
What will happen next?
- Product list tags: on our path to remove inventory, we need to be able to tag products
