Weekly Status Update: 2/13-19
I spent Wednesday and Thursday trying to track down and fix #9581, where the loading spinner wasn’t working after the transition to XULRunner 1.9. Something changed about the permissions system, so the parent frame couldn’t access a function in the child frame. The work around for this was to give the two functions which turn on/off the spinner permissions to access the child frame.
Friday was spent tracking down failures in the thumbnail test cases. It turns out it was a silly bug in the test cases themselves; they were referring to an outdated URL on http://www.getdemocracy.com/.
This week I’ve been working on finishing up a new first time page which hopefully I’ll have rolled out by the call in the morning. I also started working on an API for the Guide. I’m really excited about this particular feature; several people have asked for it and I it’ll be important for when we want more integration between Miro and the Guide.
