What does this change do?
This change is a continuation of
2191b879c6 and adds an input filter to the
edit sidebar categories modal which the user can use to filter through
the list of categories by the category's name.
Note that if a child category is being shown, all of its ancestors will
be shown even if the names of the ancestors do not match the given
filter. This is to ensure that we continue to display the hierarchy of a
child category even if the parent category does not match the filter.
What this change?
We are currently not fully satisfied with the current way to edit the
categories and tags that appears in the sidebar where the user is
redirected to the tracking preferences tab in the user's profile causing
the user to lose context of the current page. In addition, the dropdown
to select categories or tags limits the amount of information we can
display.
Since editing or adding a custom categories section is already using a
modal, we have decided to switch editing the categories and tags that
appear in the sidebar to use a modal as well.
This commit ships a first pass of the edit categories modal such that we
can keep the commit small and reviewable. The incomplete nature of the
feature is also reflected in the fact that the feature is hidden behind
a new `new_edit_sidebar_categories_tags_interface_groups` site setting.
Display modal for combined new and unread view with options:
- [x] Dismiss new topics
- [x] Dismiss new posts
- [ ] Stop tracking these topics so they stop appearing in my new list
Allow admins to edit Community section. This includes drag and drop reorder, change names, delete and reset to default.
Visual improvements introduced in edit community section modal are available in edit custom section form as well. For example:
- drag and drop links to change their position;
- smaller icon picker.
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
This commit allows us to set the channel slug when creating new chat
channels. As well as this, it introduces a new `SlugsController` which can
generate a slug using `Slug.for` and a name string for input. We call this
after the user finishes typing the channel name (debounced) and fill in
the autogenerated slug in the background, and update the slug input
placeholder.
This autogenerated slug is used by default, but if the user writes anything
else in the input it will be used instead.
This commit fixes an issue where the chat message bookmarks
did not respect the user's `bookmark_auto_delete_preference`
which they select in their user preference page.
Also, it changes the default for that value to "keep bookmark and clear reminder"
rather than "never", which ends up leaving a lot of expired bookmark
reminders around which are a pain to clean up.
This commit introduces rails system tests run with chromedriver, selenium,
and headless chrome to our testing toolbox.
We use the `webdrivers` gem and `selenium-webdriver` which is what
the latest Rails uses so the tests run locally and in CI out of the box.
You can use `SELENIUM_VERBOSE_DRIVER_LOGS=1` to show extra
verbose logs of what selenium is doing to communicate with the system
tests.
By default JS logs are verbose so errors from JS are shown when
running system tests, you can disable this with
`SELENIUM_DISABLE_VERBOSE_JS_LOGS=1`
You can use `SELENIUM_HEADLESS=0` to run the system
tests inside a chrome browser instead of headless, which can be useful to debug things
and see what the spec sees. See note above about `bin/ember-cli` to avoid
surprises.
I have modified `bin/turbo_rspec` to exclude `spec/system` by default,
support for parallel system specs is a little shaky right now and we don't
want them slowing down the turbo by default either.
### PageObjects and System Tests
To make querying and inspecting parts of the page easier
and more reusable inbetween system tests, we are using the
concept of [PageObjects](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/test_practices/encouraged/page_object_models/) in
our system tests. A "Page" here is generally corresponds to
an overarching ember route, e.g. "Topic" for `/t/324345/some-topic`,
and this contains logic for querying components within the topic
such as "Posts".
I have also split "Modals" into their own entity. Further down the
line we may want to explore creating independent "Component"
contexts.
Capybara DSL should be included in each PageObject class,
reference for this can be found at https://rubydoc.info/github/teamcapybara/capybara/master#the-dsl
For system tests, since they are so slow, we want to focus on
the "happy path" and not do every different possible context
and branch check using them. They are meant to be overarching
tests that check a number of things are correct using the full stack
from JS and ember to rails to ruby and then the database.
### CI Setup
Whenever a system spec fails, a screenshot
is taken and a build artifact is produced _after the entire CI run is complete_,
which can be downloaded from the Actions UI in the repo.
Most importantly, a step to build the Ember app using Ember CLI
is needed, otherwise the JS assets cannot be found by capybara:
```
- name: Build Ember CLI
run: bin/ember-cli --build
```
A new `--build` argument has been added to `bin/ember-cli` for this
case, which is not needed locally if you already have the discourse
rails server running via `bin/ember-cli -u` since the whole server is built and
set up by default.
