Handel Framework

The coding monkeys are on crack, and they can’t be stopped!

• Added start of Cookbook and Cookbook/AddColumns
• Moved DBIC specific Storage classes into DBIC namespace
• Changed process to get items->all instead of (items)

Fresh out of the monkey pit.

• Catalyst Helpers now require FormValidator::Simple 0.17 (Woohoo!)
• Validation component now requires DBIx::Class::Validation 0.01001 which uses new FV::S for profile/instance/messages fixes
• Filled in pod generated by Catalyst Helpers in a moment of weakness

maybe a presentation…brain is done for the day

Another quick release before I lose my energy today and forget what I was thinking about this morning.

• Added txn_begin/commit/rollback to Storage and Storage::DBIC to help abstract Checkout::process from Storage.
• Added Storage::DBIC::Result to get DBIC specific things out of Storage::Result
• Minor pod fixes

abstracting txn_commt/rollback/begin in process

Helpers rewritten but still need some tweaking

I can see light at the end of the tunnel. It could always be the train though. The Catalyst helpers have been reworked. They still need some tweaking, but what doesn’t. Maybe I’ll feel generous and fill in the auto generated pod.

WARNING: The auto generated Catalyst helper code requires FormValidator::Simple changes/fixes that have yet to be commited or accepted until the author responds. Contact me if you need a copy of the modified version. Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t have to do a hostile takeover of the module just to fix a few bugs.

• Moved perl_critic.t to style_perl_critic.t
• Added style_no_tabs.t
• Style tests now enabled via TEST_PRIVATE
• Reworked Catalyst Helpers for Controllers and their tests.
• Fixed issue where add_handler wasn’t assigning unique pref ids when non were specified in the plugins themselves.
• Moved requirements to Requirements.pod
• Cart destroy now works on a blessed object under Catalyst
• AssignOrderNumber checkout plugin no longer sets the updated field. This will be rolled into the Order class in the next release.

Just about done with controller helpers…need to fix tests

Getting the Checkout helper code in order

Close, but no Bob Seger. We’re getting close. I’m done futzing with storage I think, and the Catalyst Models/Model Helpers have been reworked. All tests pass (except for perl_critic.t). Tomorrow I start on the rest of the Cat code.

• Simplified Storage->setup and removed clear/reset nonsense
• Added Spanish lexion provided by Diego Kuperman
• Abstracted Iterator and added subclasses for lists, DBIC resultsets and storage results
• Added result_iterator_class to Base using default of Handel::Iterator::Results
• Storage now leaves DBIC result_class alone and returns Handel::Iterator::DBIC iterators for search/search_items
• Cart/Order now use Handel::Iterator::Results iterator
• Split DBIC specific storage into Storage::DBIC w/ massive tests
• Started moving news tests to Handel::Test w/ better db deploy/var directory
• Split Manual Storage into Storage/Storage::DBIC
• Added param checks to many Storage methods
• Replaced old Makefile warnings w/ mention of Test::More and DateTime compares
• Added Perl::Critic tests for my personal gratification. None pass yet.
• currency_columns gets/sets list instead of arrayrefs to better match generic columns/primary_columns
• Bumped DBIC requirement to 0.08 (use -current for now)
• Reworked Catalyst Helpers for Models (Controllers are still broken)
