Set by [Coke] on 23 May 2022.
Geth__ ¦ doc: tbrowder self-assigned Show accessing class methods programmatically github.com/Raku/doc/issues/4163 12:38
13:12 Geth__ left, Geth joined 13:31 NemokoschKiwi joined
NemokoschKiwi Cool. Updated the site, better late than never. 14:35
Also, is it worth to "advertise" it on #raku? How much is it meant to be open for everyone? 14:36
Geth doc: tbrowder++ created pull request #4164:
Add a practical example of class introspection
15:44
lizmat I seem to have misplaced where the meeting is going to be... could someone enlighten me in privmsg? 16:23
or here :-)
NemokoschKiwi I think it's legitimately unknown 16:38
lol
lizmat well... if [Coke] doesn't come up with a URL, I think I'll come up with one on Jitsi 16:46
[Coke] yup, jitsi - figured we'd just reuse the last one 16:52
one sec
... which is not on the wiki, oops 16:53
meet.jit.si/raku-docs 16:54
(advertising elsewhere) - I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
NemokoschKiwi oh, one more thing: github.com/Raku/doc/discussions I haven't given up on this idea yet :D 17:35
And in particular, I'd really like to see a bit of brainstorming about, you know, the documentation of returned containers 17:36
That feels a lot like type information; something that should be representable in a compact way - once the design is cleared up
[Coke] github.com/Raku/doc/discussions/4149 you mean? 18:16
I don't think I'm getting emails on new discussions.
(or maybe just too many emails lately)
I added some notes to the top wiki page about the meeting (including the room - broke it out to avoid link scrapers which is probably overly cautious) 18:23
also a minor not about the infra issue to the project. emailing roman now...
sent 18:28
Now I will try to close at least one ticket or PR...
NemokoschKiwi True... I wish discussions generated emails. 18:36
18:36 NemokoschKiwi left 18:59 sena_kun joined
lizmat o/ sena_kun 19:03
sena_kun hi! 19:04
anything I can help with?
lizmat yes 19:05
what do you think is still needed from the infra team to get the new doc site operational
because it is at least unclear to *me* what is needed 19:06
sena_kun somebody who will host the website as a docker container (bonus points for reliability checks), and will redirect the domain to point to that host 19:14
lizmat so the docker container is all set ? 19:20
sena_kun Dockerfile is written, yes 19:23
lizmat how are updates handled ? I mean, if someone pushes to main in the doc repo, what happens? 19:24
does someone need to push a button to update the site >
?
sena_kun lizmat, if you want to update the content to main, you visit a special URL with private token, then it updates the content while the site is running. we can set auto-curling it daily if needed. 19:26
lizmat when you're talking about reliability checks, you mean if it up? 19:28
or more than that ?
sena_kun 1)if it's up, if it's not, it should trigger restart; 2)in a perfect world we'll run two containers and do balancing on them, so that we can for example update the website itself without downtime (first container stops, the second one takes requests, the first one updates, when it finishes, it handles the requests, the other one updates). 19:30
lizmat yeah, but if the restart fails, we want to be notified, right ? 19:32
sena_kun sure 19:33
lizmat so what happens now if the special URL is called? The site stops working ?
sena_kun no 19:34
the special URL updates the content only
the content updates without downtime
lizmat ah... ok, so if we would change one of the templates, *then* we would have downtime
sena_kun yes, for about 5 minutes or something 19:35
that's why having a couple of containers is a good, modern practice
lizmat wow... that's.... pretty long ?
what causes that long time?
sena_kun that's down to devops though
lizmat, caching all the Pod files in the repo takes 95% of the time
not sure what's exactly slow, I suspect it's parsing 19:36
lizmat aha... ok, gotcha
hmmm... so if the contents are changed, only the changed pod files would need to be reparsed, right ? 19:37
sena_kun yes
lizmat ok, gotcha
and there's no way to do the same for the templates, because we don't have the necessary dependency graph on the templates, right?
sena_kun no, not because of that 19:38
the dependency graph is implemented recently btw
lizmat ah, ok...
sena_kun but because the templates are cached and AFAIK there is no API to say "please re-parse this file". 19:39
lizmat understood 19:40
so we would need a VM that could run 2 of the Docker containers at the same time, or be down for 5 mins when the templates / code have changed 19:41
I'm sorry if the is the Nth time you're being asked this :-( 19:45
sena_kun yes 20:34
well, running just 2 containers is not that hard

Add a practical example of class introspection

The current docs do not show a practical, simple, and safe example of the use and implementaion of class introspection. This PR attempts to rectify the problem.

[Coke] crud, I forgot how to install the deps so i can run make xtest in a new checkout 23:34
