Artificial Horizon

[Patrick Molenaar]

Hi,

I was wondering, do the documentation/user manual (docbooks) need updating with the AH feature?
Since you are alsmost done, you can update the documentation too while it is still fresh in your memory.

Regards,
Patrick

Eric, Wolfgang, et al,

I fully support your efforts to add testing to KStars.  To that end, I have
done a few things related to my MR
https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/merge_requests/263

1) I added a full UI test to the MR. Check it out! It's my first UI test,
and as far as I can tell, the first one that's not Ekos related. Of course,
let me know if there's some way to improve the test.

2) I removed the scheduler changes from the Artificial Horizon MR.  The AH
feature and the Scheduler are two separate things, and combining them in
this MR will only delay the artificial horizon code unnecessarily, and make
the changes less modular etc.

I believe that my artificial horizon MR is ready for integration (pending
review).

I hope to soon propose minimal changes to the scheduler to take advantage
of the Artificial Horizon feature, similar to what I showed up above. I
agree that any such changes need to be supported by testing, and I will
look into ways to do that. Of course, I don't want to step on any toes, or
mess up any scheduler work you two have planned.  It's my hope that
computing job schedules could be Unit Tested, as opposed to UI Tested, and
avoid some of the thorny issues in the scheduler related to starting and
stopping of jobs. In any event, stay tuned, and I'll let you know my future
proposals when they're more clear to me. If they interfere with your ideas,
just let me know.

Hy
