Developer resources tab on the PMI not showing Source Code repositories

Recently, some projects have experienced some issues with the Developer resources tab on the PMI not showing Source Code repositories (see: eclipsefdn/emo-team/emo#143 (comment 1010990))

I've fixed this easily by adding the repositories URLs on the "Source Code and Issues/Bugzilla: Source Repositories" field on the PMI. I believe this issue has occurred because project teams fill the "GitHub Repositories" and "GitLab" fields instead. Even though there are some comments in those fields explaining the should not be filled by project members or that they are deprecated, e.g.:

If the project is hosted on GitHub, then enter the URLs of the GitHub repositories. Note that only administrators should modify this field (it should be hidden from everybody else anyway). There are no restrictions on the format of the value. e.g. https://github.com/eclipse/vertx

Note that the GitLab repositories field is now deprecated. Please refer to "Gitlab project groups" and "Gitlab Excluded sub-groups" to add GitLab repositories to this project.

We could use this opportunity to improve the PMI edit fields, specifically those related to the Developer resources (Source Code and Issues/Bugzilla). At this point, my proposal would be to:

• Hide/block fields that are not supposed to be completed by project members
• Remove deprecated fields (i.e. Bugzilla and GitLab fields that are marked as deprecated)
• Rename the entire section (removing the Bugzilla name)

Your feedback and support is appreciated.

What we could do is disable the fields that are deprecated but contains values in them and make sure those fields are marked as DEPRECATED.

We could simply hide the deprecated fields that are empty.

Are those the fields that I should be hiding/disable?

@epoirier yes these fields should be hidden. Also the ones that have notes such as "Note that only administrators should modify this field" e.g. GitHub respositories.

Ok so basicaly hide/disable all the fields that are not:

• Gitlab Project Group
• Gitlab Excluded Sub-Groups

added statetodo team:webdev labels

added Enhancement label

added statereview label and removed statetodo label

@mdelgado624 after discussion with @cguindon, it was decided that we would hide all repo fields (including Gerrit) from committers. Only webmaster, admins and EMO will have access to edit those fields.

I also fixed the developer page so that if there's no value in the Gerrit field, the github and gitlab repos still show up.

You can see an example here where I removed the "bogus" path from the Gerrit repo field.

@cguindon I think I covered everything that we talked about, but let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks.

WFM! Once we have a +1 form @mdelgado624, we should be able to push this live!

+1!

@mdelgado624 my changes are now live on production for this issue.

I tested the Dash project by removing the "Bogus" entry in the Gerrit field and the Github and Gitlab urls are showing up on the Developer tab.

Let me know if there's anything else.

Thanks.

I am re-opening. I think the old and deprecated GitLab Repositories field is confusing to @webmaster. See eclipsefdn/helpdesk#2170 (closed)

@epoirier If this field is no longer needed, can we hide it, please?

// @mdelgado624

We could hide the field and if the values are no longer needed, we could also delete the field entirely. But note that this will delete all values currently located in the GitLab Repositories field.

Let's hide it for now. That action has a lower risk. We can delete it when we start working on D9 site next year.

I created the following MR to hide the field to everyone and also clean up the validate function since it's not needed anymore.

mentioned in issue #63

The Gitlab Repo field has been hidden and is no longer showing up in the form.

Let me know if there's anything else.
