Migration plan, new explorer

Migrating explorer to new repositories

Will happen on Aug 11, (Wednesday). The most noticeable effect will be that the explorer repository won't receive any new updates and the release cycle will be entirely handled by rollouts.

• The kernel part of explorer will be moved into https://github.com/decentraland/kernel
• The website part of explorer will be moved into https://github.com/decentraland/explorer-website
• The decentraland-ecs part of explorer will be moved into https://github.com/decentraland/js-sdk-toolchain

QA

For all tests, go to https://play.decentraland.zone

Explorer Tests:

Login with metamask

• Login works with localStorage.clear() + MetaMask, two times
• Second time with metamask, it should NOT ask to sign a new ephemeral key

Login as guest

• Login works with localStorage.clear() + Guest, two times

Tutorial

• Load one time, skip tutorial pressing F and E
• Second time you load the tutorial should not appear

Wearables

• Login with metamask
• Set a new name and change wearables, wait 10seconds to allow it to save new profile
• reload
• wearables and name are saved for next session

Chats

• Chat works
• Voice chat works

Teleport

• Open session in main plaza
• /goto 100,100 teleports correctly and loading screen dissapears
• /goto 50,50 teleports correctly and loading screen dissapears
• /goto random teleports correctly and loading screen dissapears
• (in every teleport there should be a teleporting animation)

Loading screen

• Right after clicking play, the loading screen shows random images and informative texts

Unity Debug

• Testing with Unity Editor works correctly pointing to https://play.decentraland.zone

Different environments

• https://play.decentraland.zone/?ENV=org should work and load all scenes from production

Walking the world load scenes

• Choose a street, walk for 30/40 parcels in straight line, scenes should load around you while you walk

Rendering options

• Change the graphics configurations
• Reload the explorer
• You should see the same configurations

Wearables

• https://play.decentraland.zone/?ENV=org should work and load all scenes from production

The Scenes that are presented in the Scenes section of builder are not mine

This wasn't happening yesterday.

Voice chat is not working for me

.zone seems to be connecting directly to prod catalysts instead development? seems like env=org by default

[menduz]

Since in desktop and other possible domains (like decentral.games) are not going to use "domains" the ENV is now ignored. The network is taken from your wallet's network and the selected catalyst is matched to the network of choice. That renders the "network mismatch" error unnecessary

[olavra]

.zone connected to mainnet is showing my Development friends instead of Prod

[nearnshaw]

something I noticed in zone:

the quests UI is enabled by default, and I get the "new quest available" notification quests won't be released till next week, so we should make sure that this UI doesn't make it into production till then

in production today, it's necessary to add &ENABLE_QUESTS to the URL. Maybe this is managed by feature flags, but notifying just in case

[menduz]

Quests feature flags are enabled for .zone, that is expected
