This week I'm going to talk what I have done with the open source projects I selected for my stacks. I have a stack of Java and another one of React.
Open Source
This week has been full of activities to accomplish the open-source module. I selected a couple of projects; one is in Java and the other is in React. I have done some research to understand what to do about the issue request. It hasn't been easy because some issues are more complicated than I have of experience, and you can feel some pressure to resolve something that you don't understand.
My oldest project for open-sources is about Java. It's Sirix. It's about serializing and deserializing some pages. Their logic is already done but they have a little disorganized the ubication of the serialization, so they are looking to set the logic on the only file named Pagekind. It's not easy because this is a large project so I have to move a lot of methods and check that they are still working. Right now, I'm looking to make a test/mock to check if the code is working right.
When I start on this project I had trouble understanding what I need to do, so I start asking people next to me what they understood of the issue's description. I thought it could be that I have too naive to understand Java problems. Then, I realized that I need to ask for more information from the owner of the issue. It was more about losing the fear of asking something without sense. It might not be nonsense but I felt like that. Finally, I took brave and I start sending a message by Discord chat. They were nice with me and answered all the questions I had about the code.
Currently, I'm working of cheking my code with the test they have on the project.
My second project for my stack is a small project that needs to change the style of the required field. It sounds easy, and I think it's but I also had some issues with the communication. I used without hesitate the Discord chat to contact the owner and ask some questions about what he wants to change of the style.
The problem with the issue's description is that it isn't clear what kind of change he wants. My perception of modern can be different than his. I decided to ask him on Discord. First I did some changes and made him a proposal and then he asked me for something different. I haven't finished making his review changes, but you will find them in the technical log that I will write about this issue. Right now, I'm working on correcting his notes to make another pull request so that this time can be accepted.
That's all that I have for this week. I don't want to explain a lot what is in my issues because I want to make the large description in my technical log.
Next week, I'll have two technical logs to show you about the resolution of my issues. Also, this week at the school I'm working on animation and transitions. I want to share here the side menu I'll do.
