Hello and nice to write for you. This wiki is intended to give you more information about the DataWiz codebase. All critical inventions made between january 2020 and december 2021 will be gathered here. The purpose of everything you read here, is to guide your understanding of why the code looks a certain way. It is a more explizit way of retaining the thinking behind everything this repository contains. Scroll down to find our most frequently asked questions. Of course, no documentation is perfect and there will be outdated information here at some point in time. If you find any mistakes, please open an issue.

F.A.Q.

The dependencies of DataWiz are broken?

There is more than one reason for your current working directory state to stop working. Please note, that after some commits your temporary data in var/ becomes incompatible. So even with automated workflows, you might need to run make clear and make install again.

Why does npm freezes when using make install?

This is unfortenately an unsolved problem with NodeJS 15. If you use npm in version 7.0.1 you end up with a freezed installation. Please use NodeJS 14 like stated in the Readme.

I got an audit alert from npm audit, what should i do?

Please open an issue or submit a pull request, if you are able to solve the issue. Thank you for keeping our project secure.

Why did you messed up all Symfony defaults?

Please read the complete explaination in our wiki.

Do i need ansible to contribute?

No, you only need ansibleif you wanna run our deployment process.

I use Microsoft Windows and don't like make! Can you change your project to support contributors on Windows?

We appreciate every contribution to DataWiz and we wanna provide as much convinience for contributors as possible. Unfortunately we can't implement an operating system agnostic solution. Make is available for Windows and you can always run all tasks manually.

I don't understand your mess of code. Can i change everything?

Everything we commit is work of humans, so of course there are missunderstandings and non-clear sections in our codebase. Before you change sections that seem like bad code, please consider what problem we try to solve and have a look at the wiki for additional documentation.

I am a tech-savy psychologist. How can i help?

Thank you for the consideration. We are happy to integrate your expertise and hear you out. Please contact us via info@leibniz-psychology.org.

Your proprietary filetype 'makerecipe' is stupid. Can't we just use filetype X for that?

Yes, the idea of .makerecipe is not a standard and yes it could be changed in the future. The origin of this idea is the editor support for creating makefiles. Only a file called [Mm]akefile will obtain the make syntax highlight by default in most editors. Vim however allows you to write your own automatic rules to act on certain events. This way we can have make syntax autotically in vim for all makerecipe files if you add au BufNewFile,BufRead *.makerecipe setfiletype make to your .vimrc or init.vim. In other words, its an convinience feature we would like to keep around.
