[2:10pm] Sly:
Everyone doing okay in here? Need any help?
[2:14pm] bengourley:
AvianFlu: how do you mean? What bugs does it have?
[2:15pm] lpin joined the chat room.
[2:15pm] AvianFlu:
bengourley: what you're seeing seem to be bugs in the aggressive caching it does
[2:15pm] AvianFlu:
I haven't had time to dig through the code
[2:15pm] AvianFlu:
but the latest flatiron release is broken because of an attempted switch to st
[2:15pm] AvianFlu:
which will likely be reverted later today
[2:15pm] AvianFlu:
luckily it doesn't seem to be a libuv problem
[2:16pm] bengourley:
Oh ok. Are there failing tests for flatiron that highlight the bugs then/
[2:17pm] AvianFlu:
Sly: ^^
[2:17pm] Sly:
bengourley, what kind of bug are you looking for? The tests try to cover every aspect of flatiron usage, but it's not guaranteed that we have your usage case covered.
[2:18pm] AvianFlu:
Sly: he's been seeing st serve the wrong files intermittently
[2:18pm] Sly:
Ah.
[2:18pm] AvianFlu:
like, something.js when stuff.css was requested
[2:18pm] AvianFlu:
that kind of thing
[2:19pm] Sly:
I don't think we have a test case for that, because I don't believe ecstatic had that problem.

[2:19pm] bengourley:
So how did you decided that st broke flatiron?
[2:20pm] AvianFlu:
because production apps stopped working
[2:20pm] Sly:
bengourley, most likely because it breaks other tests in the flatiron test suite.
[2:20pm] AvianFlu:
Sly: that was what I was asking you to tell him about lol
[2:20pm] Sly:
Oh. So he wants to test it himself?

[2:20pm] bengourley:
Oh dear!
[2:20pm] Sly:
Should be able to run `npm test flatiron` if you want to run the tests yourself, bengourley.
[2:21pm] bengourley:
It would be good to have something tangible to go back to Isaacs with for this:
[2:21pm] bengourley:
https://github.com/isaacs/st/issues/9
[2:21pm] bengourley:
I have struggled to produce a reduced test case, or even reproduce the bug sometimes
[2:22pm] AvianFlu:
bengourley: it may only happen on sunOS-derivatives
[2:26pm] bengourley:
Which apps are breaking in production, how and who owns them?
[2:26pm] AvianFlu:
bengourley: our apps
[2:26pm] AvianFlu:
we could not use the latest version of flatiron with st
[2:26pm] AvianFlu:
we had to revert to the older versions with ecstatic
[2:27pm] AvianFlu:
bengourley: after seeing isaacs' response, I think I can get him to address this
[2:27pm] dylang joined the chat room.
[2:27pm] bengourley:
Ok, cool. Will you post on that issue?
[2:28pm] AvianFlu:
yes
[2:29pm] bengourley:
Great, thanks
