openQA webVTT subtitles
a project by bmwiedemann
Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too.

code is in github with an example rendering on the server

    Create object oriented API for perl's YAML::XS module, with YAML 1.2 Support by tinita

    Description

    YAML::XS is a binding to libyaml and already quite old, but the most popular YAML module for perl. There are two main issues:

    • It uses global package variables to influence behaviour.
    • It didn't implement the loading of types like numbers and booleans according to the YAML spec (neither 1.1 nor 1.2).

    Goals

    Create a new interface which works object oriented. Currently YAML::XS exports a list of functions.

    • The new API will allow to create a YAML::XS object containing configuration influencing the behaviour of loading and dumping.
      • It keeps the libyaml parser and emitter structs in memory, so repeated calls can save the creation of those structs
    • It will by default implement the YAML 1.2 Core Schema, so it is compatible to other YAML processors in perl and in other languages
    • If I have time, I would like to add the merge << key feature as an option. We could then use it in openQA as a replacement for YAML::PP to be faster.

    I already created a proof of concept with a minimal functionality some weeks before this HackWeek.
