* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
It is not a setting, and only relevant in specs. The new API is:
```
Jobs.run_later! # jobs will be thrown on the queue
Jobs.run_immediately! # jobs will run right away, avoid the queue
```
Previously if you wanted to have jobs execute in test mode, you'd have
to do `SiteSetting.queue_jobs = false`, because the opposite of queue
is to execute.
I found this very confusing, so I created a test helper called
`run_jobs_synchronously!` which is much more clear about what it does.
This updates tests to use latest rails 5 practice
and updates ALL dependencies that could be updated
Performance testing shows that performance has not regressed
if anything it is marginally faster now.
Why? Some edits by staff are not tracked. For example, during the grace
period, or via the flags/silence dialog.
If a staff member is editing someone else's post, it now goes into the
Staff Action Logs so it can be audited by other staff members.
We trust staff + tl2 and up to perform edits in grace period.
Allow them significantly more edit room in grace period prior to storing
a revision.
editing_grace_period_max_diff_high_trust applies to users with tl2 and up.
So
tl0 / 1 : we store an extra revision if more than 100 chars change
tl2 and up : we store an extra revision if more than 400 chars change
We may tweak these numbers as we go.
If a user performs a substantive edit of 20 chars or more during grace period
we will store a revision to track the change
This allows for better auditing of changes that happen during the grace period
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
