An internal server error was reported when trying to create a new package (not when editing):

WebApp? Error: <class 'sqlalchemy.exceptions.IntegrityError?'>: (IntegrityError?) null value in column "name" violates not-null constraint 'INSERT INTO package (id, name, title, version, url, author, author_email, maintainer, maintainer_email, notes, license_id, state, revision_id) VALUES (%(id)s, %(name)s, %(title)s, %(version)s, %(url)s, %(author)s, %(author_email)s, %(maintainer)s, %(maintainer_email)s, %(notes)s, %(license_id)s, %(state)s, %(revision_id)s)' {'maintainer': None, 'name': None, 'author': None, 'author_email': None, 'notes': None, 'title': None, 'maintainer_email': None, 'url': None, 'state': 'active', 'version': None, 'license_id': None, 'revision_id': '0141c09c-4eb3-4dda-a6b1-e07f2c73b4c5', 'id': '7fe16a29-f183-471a-99c5-2c2e81dd86e4'}

The error could not be reproduced in a non-apache/mod_wsgi environment, even with a dump of the live database. Further investigation by manual editing of the package form left the "groups" field as the likely cause. After updating the packages installed, and temporarily editing the package controller the problem vanished after a restart of the web server.

Possible causes include:

• Stale pyc file
• Threading issue
• Dependency issue

As the problem is gone for now, it cannot be further investigated atm.

As a (logged-in) User I want to watch (follow) a package, that is register my interest about a package. (Similar to watch/follow features in github/bitbucket/wikis).

NB: this is as much (if not more) about showing what packages are interesting to people as giving info to 'watchers'.

Need to finalize terminology (github uses watch for repos and follow for users while bitbucket combines both in 'followers'). Decision: use follow

Implementation

Interface

Become a follower:

• Follow button on packages (if already watching say 'unfollow')

Package-related changes:

• Show number of followers on a package
• List followers of a package at /package/{name}/followers
  • On a separate page

a package User-related changes:

• List followed packages
  • Either on user's page on a separate 'following' page. (NB: called 'following')
• Does watching involve notifications (by email)
  • Probably not: you can already subscribe to RSS feed after all and email not that necessary (?)
• [Future - don't have activity stream yet] Show what packages a user has started/stopped followed on a user's public activity stream on their user page

Nitty-Gritty

• Want to do this in ajax-y manner
• API endpoint: /api/2/follower
• Store data in a new follower table

API

/api/2/follower

follow => PUT / POST
{
   user_id
   object_type
   object_id
}

If this is submitted by a user with user.id != user_id => error (401)

unfollow => DELETE

/api/2/follower/package/{id}
=> list of followers
[
    { safe dictized user }
]

NB: depends on access to a 'safe' dictized user object. Dictization is in nearly done, and current example of doing this by hand is in user API autocomplete method.

Table

Called 'follower'

user_id, table, object_id, created
xxx, package, yyy, ...
xxx, user, yyy, ... [future]

Random Extras

• What about following users as well
