Welcome back to “Skills Upgrade” a Talking Drupal mini-series following the journey of a D7 developer learning D10. This is episode 7.

Topics

• Review Chad's goals for the previous week

  • Test Example
  • Set up phpunit.xml
  • Start with FrontPageLinkTest.php

• Review Chad's questions

  • In the testing_example module, the file "src/Controller/TestingExampleController.php" has a function for simpletestDescription(). Is this an outdated artifact that should have been removed at some point? The module itself doesn't appear to use Simpletest elsewhere and appears to only rely on PHPUnit.
  • What do you recommend for the minimal code structure to include for any given test type? Is the Testing Example module an ideal model or are there other resources I should review? The testing reference from Selwyn was helpful.
  • In the "FrontPageLinkDependenciesTest.php" setUp() function, the createContentType() function is called without specifying the type. Is that set somewhere else? I may have overlooked it. Nevermind—it's set using randomMachineName() in the createContentType() function. Is there anything extra or standard to write in tests for drupal.org?

• Tasks for the upcoming week

  • Smart Date - Martin (maintainer) to review promptly, I've already chatted with him about it. Create a new functional test: "submit a range with an end time before the start and validate that an error is returned"
    • Create an issue in the Smart Date queue and assign to yourself.
    • Create an issue fork.
    • Check out the issue fork locally.
    • Write (and test) the test locally.
    • Commit and push to the issue fork.
    • Mark issue as "Needs review".
    • Ask someone to review - if all looks good, the reviewer will mark as RBTC.

Armadillo is a powerful and expressive C++ template library for linear algebra and scientific computing. It aims towards a good balance between speed and ease of use, has a syntax deliberately close to Matlab, and is useful for algorithm development directly in C++, or quick conversion of research code into production environments. RcppArmadillo integrates this library with the R environment and language–and is widely used by (currently) 1135 other packages on CRAN, downloaded 33.7 million times (per the partial logs from the cloud mirrors of CRAN), and the CSDA paper (preprint / vignette) by Conrad and myself has been cited 579 times according to Google Scholar.

Yesterday’s release accommodates reticulate by suspending a single test that now ‘croaks’ creating a reverse-dependency issue for that package. No other changes were made.

The set of changes since the last CRAN release follows.

Changes in RcppArmadillo version 0.12.8.2.1 (2024-04-15)

• One-char bug fix release commenting out one test that upsets reticulate when accessing a scipy sparse matrix

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report relative to previous release. More detailed information is on the RcppArmadillo page. Questions, comments etc should go to the rcpp-devel mailing list off the Rcpp R-Forge page.

Today, we’re excited to announce a new, improved experience for Python library reference documentation on Microsoft Learn, formerly Microsoft Docs. The new experience is now available for all Microsoft Python libraries on Learn, such as the Azure SDK for Python. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the specific changes made and how they improve the overall experience and accessibility of Python reference documentation on Learn.

Change Summary

The key changes made to Python reference documentation on Learn were improving the navigation experience with the table of contents (TOC), the organization of in-page content, and in-page navigation via the right rail. When combined, these three key changes greatly improve the experience of finding information in Python reference on Learn.

Table of Contents (TOC)

If you’ve used reference documentation before, you’ll know that the TOC serves as a uniquely pivotal tool for navigation between pages. Reference documentation, unlike conceptual articles and tutorials, rarely links together in an easy-to-follow way. This means that the TOC is often the only way for cross-page navigation in reference documentation, making it a key priority for us to get right.

TOC – Before

Previously, the table of contents for Python Reference documentation on Learn had a redundant layer of navigation for package names (in the screenshot below, the azure-storage-blob node), which added confusion for users looking to navigate deeper into the documentation. In addition, the table of contents had package prefixes attached to every item. This led to a cluttered experience, with some items in the TOC taking up two lines of space, further impacting readability and accessibility.

 

TOC – After

The new TOC design removes the package name overview page and trims the package prefix from TOC items, making it easier to scan and navigate. If you’ve bookmarked a package name overview page, don’t worry, as you’ll be redirected to the package overview page automatically.

 

In-Page Right Rail

The in-page right rail is a key part of reference documentation, allowing you to navigate in-page and quickly jump to different sections.

In-Page Right Rail – Before

Before, the right rail wasn’t “sticky”, meaning that once users scrolled on the page, the rail wouldn’t follow them, and the entire right side of the screen would be unused space. Additionally, the right rail links only covered H2 content on the page, resulting in a right rail that didn’t clarify any major details on the page. Finally, the right rail would be collapsed beyond four items, leading to extra effort from the user to see all of the H2 sections on the page. We recognize this design wasn’t consistent with the ways that other Python libraries design their documentation and made updates to better align with design patterns and expectations.

 

In-Page Right Rail – After

The enhanced experience adds an individually scrollable, sticky right rail with details down to H3s, giving much more detail into what content the page has. The right rail additionally has active highlighting for the current item on the screen, making it easier for you to understand your current position relative to other content.

Parameter, Return, and Exception Organization

While the first two major feature changes focus on both overall and in-page navigation, we also identified an opportunity to improve in-page organization as well. When you’re looking at our reference documentation, being able to easily identify key information such as parameters, return values, and exceptions is crucial.

In-Page Organization – Before

Before the updates, these details were listed but not clearly separated between classes, leading to a confusing experience where it’s not clear where items started or ended. Additionally, as a result of the formatting of these values, a significant amount of vertical space was used, leading to a lot of scrolling to find the information needed. Lastly, required parameters, default values, and keyword-only parameters weren’t clearly highlighted to follow accessibility best practices, resulting in extra effort to find crucial information.

In-Page Organization – After

The new experience organizes parameters, return values, and exceptions into easy-to-scan tables. By using tables, default values, required tags, and types are clearly indicated. The end result is a cleaner and easier-to-use experience for all developers when scrolling through our documentation.

 

Conclusion

In short, the new Python reference documentation experience on Learn is a major improvement for any developer using Microsoft’s Python libraries. The new TOC, in-page right rail, and in-page organization changes make finding information easier, with an added visual upgrade. We’re excited to continue optimizing the Python developer experience across all of our libraries and tools.

We hope you enjoy the changes! If you have any thoughts, you can leave feedback in the Azure SDK for Python GitHub repo.

Time Complexity ⏱️

Time complexity is one of those Computer Science concepts that's scary in its purest form, but often fairly practical as a rough "am I doing this right" measurement.

In the words of Ned Batchelder, time complexity is all about "how your code slows as your data grows".

Time complexity is usually discussed in terms of "Big O" notation. This is basically a way to discuss the order of magnitude for a given operation while ignoring the exact number of computations it needs. In "Big O" land, we don't care if something is twice as slow, but we do care whether it's n times slower where n is the length of our list/set/slice/etc.

Here's a graph of the common time complexity curves:

Remember that these lines are simply about orders of magnitude. If an operation is on the order of n, that means 100 times more data will slow things down about 100 times. If an operation is on the order of n² (that's n*n), that means 100 times more data will slow things down 100*100 times.

I usually think about those curves in terms of what would happen if we suddenly had 1,000 times more data to work with:

• O(1): no change in time (constant time!)
• O(log n): ~10 times slow down
• O(n): 1,000 times slow down
• O(n log n): 10,000 times slow down
• O(n²): 1,000,000 times slow down! 😲

With that very quick recap behind us, let's take a look at the relative speeds of all common operations on each of Python's data structures.

In your Python journey, you’ll come across situations where you need to signal that something is going wrong in your code. For example, maybe a file doesn’t exist, a network or database connection fails, or your code gets invalid input. A common approach to tackle these issues is to raise an exception, notifying the user that an error has occurred. That’s what Python’s raise statement is for.

Learning about the raise statement allows you to effectively handle errors and exceptional situations in your code. This way, you’ll develop more robust programs and higher-quality code.

In this video course, you’ll learn how to:

• Raise exceptions in Python using the raise statement
• Decide which exceptions to raise and when to raise them in your code
• Explore common use cases for raising exceptions in Python
• Apply best practices for raising exceptions in your Python code

The TalkingDrupal podcast had Alexey Korepov on to talk about Test Driven Development. Alexey has written the Test Helpers module, a development package that provides many useful utility tools for writing unit tests for your Drupal code.

When it comes to Drupal development, GitHub Actions offers invaluable assistance in automating repetitive tasks, standardizing your processes, and enhancing code quality. By defining workflows as code in YAML files that can react to various events, it provides flexible customization and scalability. Pre-built actions can handle common tasks like building and testing code, while custom actions can be tailored to project-specific requirements. Let's explore some of the best practices along with examples of actions you could use in your next Drupal project.

Do you know what custom GPTs are? They're configurable and shareable chat experiences with a name, logo, custom instructions, conversation starters, access to OpenAI tools, and custom API actions.

For protecting the privacy of our users and the security and integrity of their systems, usage of transport encryption and authentication is crucial for any network communication. HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) is probably the most widespread set of protocols for that. What do we need to look out for when using this in our applications?

If you want to offer your users a hassle-free login experience, convenience and security, Single Sign-On (SSO) is the way to go. SSO is an authentication process that allows users to access multiple applications or services with a single set of login credentials. Auth0 is an identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) platform that provides authentication and authorization services for applications and APIs. It offers a comprehensive set of features for implementing secure and customizable authentication solutions, including support for various authentication methods such as username/password, social logins, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). In this article, you will learn more about SSO and Auth0 and how you can integrate it with your Drupal website. Benefits of SSO Integration in Drupal Seamless User Experience: Integrating SSO into Drupal enables users to log in once and access all connected applications seamlessly, eliminating the need for multiple logins and enhancing user convenience. Centralized User Management: SSO centralizes user authentication and authorization, making it easier for administrators to manage user accounts, permissions, and access control policies across multiple Drupal sites or integrated applications. Enhanced Security: SSO enhances security by enforcing consistent authentication policies and enabling centralized management of user access, reducing the risk of security breaches due to weak passwords or unauthorized access. Reduced Development Efforts: By leveraging Auth0's SSO capabilities, developers can significantly reduce the time and effort required to implement authentication and authorization features in Drupal applications, accelerating the development process and time-to-market for new features and functionalities. Take a look at this article where we discussed integration of SSO with Drupal using SAML Steps to Integrate Auth0 SSO in Drupal Prerequisites Auth0 account SAML SP 2.0 Single Sign On (SSO) - SAML Service Provider  Auth0 configuration Register to Auth0. Go to https://manage.auth0.com/ and log in. Create the tenant. To create a tenant, click on the drop-down near the logo in the top left corner. You will see a pop-up fill the required information in that pop-up like tenant name, region, and environment. Click on the Create button. Next, click on the "Applications" option in the left menu. A list will open. Then click on “Applications” on that list and you will see an application page. Click on the “Create Application” button. You will see a pop-up, enter the application name in that pop-up and select “Regular Web Application” then click on Create. Next, click on that application and go to the settings tab. In the Settings tab, you can update the application logo if you want.  In the Settings tab, add the callback URL "[Domain]/samlassertion" to the "Allowed Callback URLs" field and then click Save. Then go to the “Addons Tab”. In the Addons tab, click on the "SAML2 Web App" option. You will see a pop-up with two (Settings and Usage) tabs. In the Settings tab, add the callback URL "[Domain]/samlassertion" and click the Enable button. After this go to the Usage tab. In the Usage tab, click on the "Download" button of "Identity Provider Metadata". Drupal application configuration Install the "SAML SP 2.0 Single Sign On (SSO) - SAML Service Provider" contrib module “https://www.drupal.org/project/miniorange_saml” in your Drupal application using composer.composer require 'drupal/miniorange_saml:^3.0' Go to the Drupal website and log in as administrator. Go to "Configuration" and then click on "MiniOrange SAML Login Configuration". Go to the “Service Provider Setup” tab Click "Add New IDP". Upload the metadata file that we downloaded from Auth0. Click on the save button. Steps to add role mapping Go to “Configuration” then click on "miniOrange SAML Login Configuration". Go to the “MAPPING” tab Click on the “Enable Role Mapping” option (If not enabled already). Select the “Library” role from the dropdown. Click on the “Save Configuration”. Then clear the cache and visit the login page.You will see an SSO login link above the submit button. Click on that link. You will be redirected to the auth0 login page If you have an Auth0 account then enter the username and password otherwise you can create an account using the signup link. After login you will be redirected to your Drupal application and your account will be logged in. Final thoughts The demand for seamless user experiences and robust security measures continues to escalate by the day. By integrating Auth0's Single Sign-On solution with your Drupal site, you're not just staying ahead of the curve — you're shaping the future of online interaction. But the journey doesn't end with integration. The next step is optimization. Continuously refine your authentication workflows, leverage Auth0's advanced features to customize user experiences, and stay vigilant against emerging threats. Reach out to our Drupal development team to enhance your user experience with features like these.
