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.
