As we continue with the release process of OpenMRS Platform 2.6.0, I am thrilled to inform everyone that we have reached the alpha phase and that our OpenMRS Platform 2.6.x build is now passing and ready for End to End testing
I am therefore calling upon all volunteers, implementations, distributions, squads and all other interested parties to test out this prelease version of OpenMRS Platform 2.6.0.
Thanks so much Herman for this clear write up, and your efforts on this important release!
Question for you and @dkayiwa; Are there any particular areas of high impact of high risk change that you’re concerned about that you’d like focused on in manual testing?
@jayasanka that should be a key part of the release process. Infact it was supposed to be the default thing before any manual testing is done. But we need to first invest time in finding out why the corresponding bamboo CI build is failing. @jayasanka do you think this is something that you can look into?
@dkayiwa, I’m glad to take on the task of investigating the bamboo CI build failure. However, I’ll need to gain a better understanding of the implementation first. I’ve reached out to Daud to schedule a chat to clarify any questions I have. Additionally, I noticed that the GitHub actions on the repo haven’t been run in a while, so I reran them all. It looks like most of them are passing.
@mherman22 regarding your question, I checked GitHub workflows and it seems they are configured to run against a docker container, as you can see in this workflow file
This serves as a reminder, we are nearing the close of this rudimentary exercise for the platform 2.6.0-alpha. Let’s spare a few moments and test this prerelease.
