SOIL CREATION SYSTEMS

SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Yiyun Tan (Software Engineer and Team Manager) and includes, Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer), Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer), Mounica Dingari (Software Developer), Yao Wang (Software Engineer). This week’s summary was managed by Yiyun. Luis focused on enhancing the permission management tool’s functionality by implementing measures to prevent the creation of duplicate roles. To achieve this, he introduced a case-insensitive check to ensure that no duplicate roles, whether in lowercase or uppercase, could be submitted.

Additionally, he integrated an error message system to notify users when attempting to create duplicate roles, accompanied by a toast notification for clear feedback. Subsequently, Luis submitted his code via a pull request (PR) for review, awaiting integration into the development branch. In parallel, he contributed to the team’s efficiency by diligently reviewing multiple PRs on the front-end branch, specifically PRs 1216, 1212, 1210, 1204, 1203, 1202, 1189, 1185, and 1183. His reviews encompassed comprehensive feedback, and most developers successfully addressed their tasks. Notably, PR 1183 required attention due to a 400-error code, which Luis promptly identified and requested correction.

Moreover, PR 1210 resolved the issue of floating numbers in badge totals, while PR 1204 standardized the date format to MM DD YYYY across the entire application. Bailey focused on several tasks, key among them being rectifying badge bugs and addressing a badge duplication issue. The most crucial task assigned to him, however, was modifying the system to enable the ‘owner’ role to create other ‘owner’ roles. A significant problem had arisen because the ‘Admin’ role had the capacity to create ‘owner’ roles, thereby allowing users to make multiple permission changes.

To resolve this, Bailey devised a condition that examines the user’s role; if the user is an ‘owner,’ they are permitted to create additional ‘owner’ roles, whereas ‘Admin’ users are now restricted from creating ‘owner’ roles. Subsequently, he rectified the date picker input, standardizing its size to match other inputs in the form. Mounica focused on PR#1181, aimed at restoring the functionality to make individuals active or inactive using a dot by their name.

Mounica also conducted testing on PR#1224, which involved enhancing user management to display a full table with the addition of a scroll bar. Additionally, Mounica addressed ESLint issues in five files within the Badge component, specifically AssignBadge, AssignBadgePopup, Badge, BadgeDevelopment, and AssignTableRow. Jerry, a member of the Development Team, brainstormed ideas to address the recent issue of users maliciously altering user permissions on the HGN app. His proposed solutions received approval from Jae, prompting him to proceed with implementation.

Jerry focused on developing a logging middleware within the backend code to record timestamps and user account details associated with alterations of permissions on the Permissions Management Page. He plans to continue working on this next week. Yao conducted testing on seven pull requests and addressed an issue related to missing screenshots with comments and PR numbers in Dropbox. Yao added screenshots to all the PRs tested and supplemented some of the PRs from the previous week with new screenshots. The PRs tested include numbers 1162, 1200, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1183, and 506.

Notably, a critical problem was identified in PR 1183, where a 400 error occurred under the “Time Options” tab below the task section, leading to an “unexpected error” when clicking the “72+” tab in PR 1183. Yiyun’s focus centered on addressing the hotfix of the “bluesquare cannot be automatically issued” problem. She identified the root cause and raised a PR to fix it. Additionally, she assisted the team with lint-fix tasks and provided general support to the team’s ongoing efforts. See the collage below for their work.

SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Yiyun Tan and includes Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader), Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer), Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer), and Yao Wang (Software Engineer). This week, Luis focused on enhancing the functionality of the weekly summaries report component by incorporating a copy button. Within this feature, users who have submitted summaries are presented with a copy button, facilitating admins and owners in efficiently copying the text to their clipboard.

Additionally, this button was integrated into the current user’s profile page, accessible through the “Show team weekly summaries” option, enabling team members to view and copy each other’s summaries. In parallel, Luis conducted a thorough review of pull requests (PR) 1146 and 1140, confirming the successful implementation of the respective developments. Notably, PR 1140 involved the addition of text to various permissions, although some instances were identified as lacking proper text. Meanwhile, PR 1146 addressed the presentation of a user’s name in bold during deletion, enhancing text visibility.

Over the course of the week, Luis effectively addressed comments and suggestions related to his PRs, alongside resolving a navbar bug. This bug hindered both Luis and users from accessing all links within the Navbar. Through meticulous troubleshooting, including an environment reset, he successfully resolved the issue, restoring full access to the appropriate links. Jerry, a member of the Development Team, focused on enabling the assignment of the “See Only Weekly Summaries Reports Tab” and “See User Management Tab (Full Functionality)” permissions to users who do not possess these permissions by default.

Additionally, he undertook the task of revising the titles and descriptions of these permissions as they are displayed on the Permissions Management Page. It was Yao’s first week as part of the developer team. Initially, he familiarized himself with all relevant documentation and identified new tasks to undertake. Yao conducted testing on 7 pull requests, performing thorough fringe case testing across different accounts. The PRs subjected to testing were: 1162, 1166, 1169, 1172, 1177, 1181, and 1182. Among these, improvements were suggested for PR 1162, though it was approved due to its continued functional use.

In the case of PR 1182, which introduced new features, modification requests were made due to incomplete implementation. Apart from these two PRs, all others successfully passed the testing phase. Bailey focused on advancing the development teams to Phase 2 of the project. One significant task involved addressing the “suggestion” button issue. Bailey hypothesized that the suggest button was not visible for the mentor and manager roles due to the user possibly selecting the edit task permission over the suggest task permission, given the former’s higher precedence. After collaborating with a colleague to test this theory, both confirmed that the functionality was rectified and no longer problematic.

In the interim between tasks, Bailey conducted reviews on several PRs: #1155 “Leaderboard refresh message”, #1163 “Indentation of sub permissions”, and #1172 “Improve summary loading performance”. All three PRs received Bailey’s approval, facilitating continued work on new features and bug fixes. Subsequently, Bailey addressed a minor issue on the Reports page for the people section, ensuring proper padding to prevent the card bottom from blending with the background. This adjustment was seamlessly integrated into the Dev phase.

Wrapping up the week, Bailey embarked on a comprehensive task of testing all Badges for functionality, reporting any anomalies. Out of the badges tested, several remain under developer scrutiny for further debugging. Yiyun adeptly addressed lint-fix tasks, establishing a dedicated channel with assigned team members, and initiated collaboration. She made significant contributions to production database connections, updates, and PR reviews, providing valuable assistance to fellow team members. See the collage below for their work.
