GSoC'26 - Automated Workflow [Week Report #3]

By Weno Ndum Billy Hans on 2026-06-19 13:17 in Google Summer of Code Joomla Team

Focus: run-as execution, timezone correctness, and hardening. What has been done throughout the week Diagnosed that executeTransition() returned false under the scheduler because it runs as a guest (no logged-in user), so the core.execute.transition permission check failed.

Stability issues and MySQl 9

By Allon Moritz on 2026-06-15 08:22 in Automated Testing Team

In recent months we had some stability issues because of some random installation system test failures. The problem was that for a long time the installation test was not executed with the stylesheet. As this happened on 6.2 and 5.4 with the pr's #46879 and #47734, Chrome shot some random Javascript errors about transition problems. This was fixed and tests are running stable now. Currently Microsoft has some docker issues, where layers can't be downloaded during Github Actions, but this...
