14:44 LyndsySimon joined #dvn
14:45 pdurbin LyndsySimon: welcome!
14:46 LyndsySimon TY!
14:46 pdurbin https://saucelabs.com/now is awesome :)
15:22 LyndsySimon joined #dvn
15:55 pdurbin LyndsySimon: here's my post about it: Philip Durbin - Google+ - Open Sauce: free, unlimited, hosted Selenium testing for… - https://plus.google.com/107770072576338242009/posts/CpowbDMDRYH
16:00 LyndsySimon Thanks, I'll take a look at it on my next break :)
16:07 pdurbin :)
16:14 pdurbin LyndsySimon: here's the OSF/DVN gameplan doc I was starting to show you: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wTWhJHQajSjEb_swjc4i_ZsMRAv_RZfQjjje4W9Nj_4/edit?usp=sharing
16:18 pdurbin LyndsySimon: also, I'm sending our Selenium person a link to your https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/osf-ui-tests/blob/master/api/osf_api/osf_api.py which is awesome
16:46 LyndsySimon Sounds like a plan. While (like I said) I'm not a Java guy, if you guys have questions I'm always around.
16:46 LyndsySimon Do you by chance have a Vagrant image somewhere that contains your development environment? That would make it very easy to collaborate.
17:18 pdurbin LyndsySimon: yep: https://github.com/dvn/dvn-netbeans
17:33 LyndsySimon woot!
17:34 LyndsySimon At some point in the future, I might be able to script the manual parts of that process - unzipping files in /downloads, etc. Then script the reboot and have the machine start downloading the components if they aren't there.
17:51 pdurbin LyndsySimon: hmm, well, in general, I only use that Vagrant environment to test that our dev guide at http://guides.thedata.org is accurate. The setup of our dev environment, I mean
17:52 pdurbin what I'd really like to do is have Vagrant spin up a Mac VM but it seems very difficult to virtualize OS X on Vagrant (or a least VirtualBox, which is what I'm using)
17:58 LyndsySimon It's possible, but yes - difficult. There are also licensing issues to contend with.
17:59 LyndsySimon OSX's T&C allows it to run only on Apple-branded hardware. So, technically, you could virtualize OSX on your Mac and be legit, so long as you had a license for each copy.
18:00 LyndsySimon In practice, as I understand it, the VM software companies subtly break OSX so they don't get sued by Apple.
18:44 pdurbin LyndsySimon: right, yeah, I tried it on Apple hardward. couldn't get it to work :(
18:45 LyndsySimon I got it to work (barely) on a Windows box about a year ago. It's at least possible.
18:46 LyndsySimon You could also set it up so the source is in a shared folder, so you could use the host OS to work and have the VM just watch that directory for changes and serve them.
19:04 pdurbin sure. could do
19:04 pdurbin LyndsySimon: awesome that you got it to work. this was on VirtualBox?
19:04 LyndsySimon Yep
19:05 pdurbin LyndsySimon: any tips for getting it working?
19:06 LyndsySimon I had to fiddle the the CPU settings in the VM, if I remember right. That was what finally let me boot to the desktop.
19:09 pdurbin interesting. maybe I'll give it another try
20:06 pdurbin LyndsySimon: "finally" -- http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2013-09-19#i_7607904 :)
