Russell's Learning Journal

 After submitting the pull request for the ability to copy popup toast notifications, there was a minor bug that was resolved the branch was then successfully merged into the main OED development branch.  This week the team and I have been spending time resolving the last of the issues and comments on all pull requests we have submitted to the client.  By the end of this week, all issues and bugs will be resolved or a new issue will be opened on Git Hub for future developers to tackle.  We also spent time working on the presentation outline and gearing up for testing.  The presentation script will also be started this week.  Next week the group's plan is to start capturing video and stills of progress we have made to use in the presentation and start production of the presentation video.

 This week I fixed some bugs with the ability to copy the error message popups.  Once everything was functioning as expected for the user I submitted a pull request to merge this feature into the main OED development branch.  The team and I also spent some time creating the capstone presentation outline that we will use as a structure for our presentation.  The plans for next week are to start testing with the client for all of the changes that the team and I have done this semester.

 This week I completed the implementation of a feature that allows the user to easily copy the popup error messages.  This is important as these error messages can be used to solve issues and bugs that the users may experience.  Before this message would show for a few seconds then disappear.  There are a few other issues on the most recent pull request that need to be addressed before we can begin final testing and merge the changes into the development branch.  The team and I will be working on resolving these issues as stated in the specifications provided by the client.

This week I took the time to review reported issues on GitHub and select a few to implement/fix.  I was mainly looking for issues related to the version 1.1 release as these are essential for the next release of OED.  Currently, I am working on a feature that allows users to easily copy a popup notification or error message as these can be important and need to be recorded.  I am testing different ways to implement this for the best user experience.  Throughout the rest of this week and next, I plan to continue to work on issues related to the version 1.1 release as well as submit a pull request to have my changes and additions reviewed.

This week I was troubleshooting an issue that arose from the previous week's work.  The layout of the page was affected forcing all of the content to the bottom of the page rather than the top.  This was fixed by implementing CSS directly into the div tag as I did not want to change any of the global CSS files.  Next, I plan on looking through the issues page and selecting some bugs/features to implement.  I did not face any challenges this week, mostly trial and error until I solved the issue.
