jQuery Core Team Meeting – Jul 14 2014

Attending: mikesherov, DaveMethvin, m_gol

link Test fails

m_gol trying to get all the Browserstack issues resolved
timeout does not seem to be working
one job ran 6 days
we have plugins (neither of them works :():
- a Jenkins timeout plugin
- TestSwarm timeout setting: https://github.com/jzaefferer/node-testswarm/issues/14
disabled Android 4.0 temporarily
Spawning jobs on Kindle Fire HD that hang
error messages are not very specific, making diagnosis hard
mobile devices are failing:
- Android 4.1 gets stuck on a login screen: https://www.browserstack.com/automate/builds/9eac6d2af8b21a4b4d6581029011d85bbab3f74e/sessions/42504cd22f37b3fa31fc91016adb01aab87273eb#automate_button
- Android 2.3 gets stuck in the queue, doing nothing and then timeouts: https://www.browserstack.com/automate/builds/9eac6d2af8b21a4b4d6581029011d85bbab3f74e/sessions/41cf9b3bc366f0f5e1a7dccc14ebda8c1c3b3ba7#automate_button
iOS 7.0 fails for mysterious reasons
BrowserStack emailed, they’re on it

http://swarm.jquery.org/result/1914335
I think the test may need to be removed
Behavior is correct for IE<9 and jQuery<1.9
Resolution: Move existing test to the 1.9+ branch in the unit tests
- gibson042 has a pull

iOS 6.1+ since Browserstack doesn't provide older versions
Android 2.3, 4.0+ (not just 4.0+)
we have a couple of manipulation failures on 2.3 but no one reported them so let’s claim support

Updated last week with feedback from comments
Return value of $.xhr?
- thenable requires user to translate, and also means we always have a dependency on some sort of thenable shim (e.g., $.Deferred)
- Promise means we need either a shim or native Promise
- maybe https://github.com/getify/native-promise-only
Oleg on a plane right now, will have some thoughts/comments tomorrow
dave to ping domenic for input on how to add .xhr to Promise instance
dave to ping snover on collab with Dojo
mikesherov to ping getify on using native-promise-only for our shim
