CKAN 2.9 compatibility

[ThrawnCA]

Hi :)

We're looking to update our qld-gov-au/ckanext-qa fork to be compatible with CKAN 2.9, and I see that there are some branches in this repo that have started work on it, by @duskobogdanovski and @HristijanVilos

Any indication of how close it is to being ready? I'm happy to help out, this is the next piece of work for me, but our fork isn't going to be directly compatible for merging, because we have unrelated changes.

I notice that in the migration to Click commands, Paster support appears to have been entirely dropped. Ideally the extension would continue to support both. Not only does this increase its usefulness for sites that have not yet updated, it also allows any existing 2.8-based test suites to continue functioning, increasing confidence that regression failures have not been introduced.

Hi

We were doing migration work for one of our clients portals, but due to time constrains we made the extension work only with CKAN 2.9 and to our specific case. If we do some additional work in the future, we will make sure to send a pull request to your repository.

I ended up just going ahead and starting from scratch in our fork, rather than merging from your branch. Not sure whether it will be of much use to you, but feel free to take a look if you want. qld-gov-au#23

Okay, we've cut a release: https://github.com/qld-gov-au/ckanext-qa/releases/tag/2.0.3-qgov.4

Automatic merge isn't possible, but there are few things you might want to manually copy, eg:

• More Python 3 compatibility (print with brackets, using six.text_type instead of str)
• Retaining Paster compatibility
• Using UTC timestamps internally so that they can be consistently localised on output
• GitHub Actions continuous integration testing with Docker and Behave
