Hackathon coordination

[paulmelnikow]

Hi! I was going to respond to #1268 (comment) but realized that is probably not the best place to have a discussion. 😄

I've used Nock in a handful of projects, though most heavily in Shields abstracted through our test framework (see badges/shields#927) which uses IcedFrisby and a nock plugin.

I made a couple small contributions a while back and merged a few others. My main interest is in addressing fundamental usability challenges e.g.:

• Extra requests for same hostname fail unexpectedly #870
• disableNetConnect() / "Not allow net connect" errors are swallowed up #884

Also the challenges that affect Shields contributors – who often have not written tests with mock responses and sometimes haven't written tests at all! – like troubleshooting matching.

I'm happy to jump in to work on tests if it can help move things in that direction!

Hi Paul, that sounds great! Shall we reopen these two issues?

[paulmelnikow]

Sure, if you'd like! #884 probably is a breaking change, though I'm happy to discuss it. Re #870 I've no idea, though it seems like something tests would help with.

I'm happy to work in a targeted way on tests on Friday; it makes sense that's a hurdle which blocks progress elsewhere.

awesome! Yes if we could try to get #1077 done first, that would make everything else simpler because we wouldn't have so many false positives on CI

Hi all! I'll join in around 4pm PST to work on #892

@gurpreetatwal Sweet! Looking forward to it. I might be off, but I think that @gr2m should be on around then.
