[Tracker] Known Issues

[vifino]

There are a few known issues with Carbon. This can also be seen as a TODO or status list.

• [ ] Lua-side Issues
  • [ ] Binding Values is buggy
  • Buggy in regards to binding Go Chans and similar non-lua stuff. Binding one Chan seems to work, but two... Nope!
    • [ ] Middleware/Routes
    • [X] Threads
    • Use msgpack to do the transfer, Go Chans and similar non lua stuff is bound via temporary kvstore entries.
  • Better Errors
  • [x] Better Error checking in wrapper functions, tells you if you do something wrong.
  • [x] Better Syntax Errors, panic() isn't very pleasing...
  • Startup Issues
  • [X] Default configuration sucks, make it actual lua code!
    • Done in v1.2.1!
  • [ ] Doesn't always start on low-end machines, not sure if fixable.
  • [X] Templates
  • Rendering templates works fine, simple gsub implementations!
  • [X] VHOSTs
  • [X] Carbon usable in scripts via #!/usr/bin/env carbon or similar
  • [X] Carbon usable as interpreter of trepl from Torch7
  • Works! Only thing that did not was the argument name, which I fixed. trepl is quite cool.
  • Database support
  • [X] NoSQL
    • Got redis! I don't see a need for anything else. Redis is very popular and good.
  • [x] SQL
    • See #7, when merged, will have support for mysql, postgres and sqlite3. Should be enough for most people.
  • [ ] Tests
  • I kinda started on that long ago, but neither the Lua tests nor the Go tests are really great.. If existant at all! :D
• [x] Proper Wiki/Docs, documenting...
  • [X] Usage in Lua
  • [X] Middleware
  • [x] mw.new()
    • [ ] Functions/APIs in detail
    • Most stuff is documented now.
  • [ ] Architecture
  • [ ] Inner Workings
  • [ ] Compatibility/Porting Guide
  • [x] Examples
  • Basic stuff only.
• [x] CI
  • https://circleci.com/gh/carbonsrv/carbon is now a thing!
  • https://travis-ci.org/carbonsrv/carbon is also one.
• [x] Docker
  • https://hub.docker.com/r/carbonsrv/carbon/
  • It should be expandable, so you could make one for your app or something.
