Setting a key/value pair in DistributedCache involves waiting on the
write to Redis to finish. In most cases, we don't need to wait on the
setting of the cache to finish. We just need to take our return value
and move on.
The query is being executed each time we try and generate the link path
for a stylesheet within the duration of a reqeust. Categories are not
updated that often so repeating this query multiple times a request is
wasteful.
At the time of this commit, there is a `publish_discourse_stylesheet`
ActiveRecord callback on the `Category` model which clears the cache of
`Stylesheet::Manager` each time a category is saved.
Previously, we only precompiled the CSS for parent themes but not for
the child themes. As a result, the CSS for child themes were being
compiled during the first request which made the respond time high for
that request.
Plugins always store their stylesheets under `/assets/stylesheets`, so we can make the glob pattern much more specific. In my local development environment, this increases the speed of `Stylesheet::Manager.max_file_mtime` from ~65ms to ~3ms (20x faster). This significantly improves stylesheet regeneration time, and the responsiveness of the theme admin UI.
Note that this will have negligible effect in production, because in production the value of `max_file_mtime` is aggressively cached.
When building the `scss_load_paths`, we were creating a full export of the theme (including uploads), and not cleaning it up. With many uploads, this can be extremely slow (because it downloads every upload from S3), and the lack of cleanup could cause a disk to fill up over time.
This commit updates the ZipExporter to provide a `with_export_dir` API, which takes care of cleanup. It also adds a kwarg which allows exporting only extra_scss fields. This should make things much faster for themes with many uploads.
* DEV: ensures stylesheet watcher isn't crashing with gems plugins
This bug has been exhibited since discourse_dev is now including an auth plugin which was loaded as a relative path instead of an absolute path, eg:
`Users/bob/.gem/ruby/2.6.6/gems/discourse_dev-0.1.0/auth/plugin.rb`
Instead of
`/Users/bob/.gem/ruby/2.6.6/gems/discourse_dev-0.1.0/auth/plugin.rb`
Component SCSS compilation should use the current theme's SCSS color
variables as a fallback before using the default core colors.
This is mostly a backwards-compatibility fix, new themes and components
should use CSS custom properties, which offer better support for on-the-fly
color scheme changes (dark mode support, etc.).
This switches to outputting a separate file for each theme component CSS
asset. We have separate CSS plugin files, separate JS files
(for plugins/themes/components), it makes sense to do the same for
component CSS assets.
Benefits:
- easier debugging
- fixes a regression with theme component sourcemaps
- changes to theme components are updated individually
With HTTP/2, there is also no performance downside to having additional
files in the initial request.

If a category and a sub-category have the same slug, adding a background to one of them will also show it on the other one. This was introduced in 8e3f667 to fix a discrepancy, which was later fixed in 214b4c3.
Allows site administrators to pick different fonts for headings in the wizard and in their site settings. Also correctly displays the header logos in wizard previews.
Use the names as provided by discourse-fonts and remove the

It also ensures that the selected font is present in case a font will
be removed in the future.
- Lets child components extend color definitions
- Includes default theme color definitions
- Fails gracefully on color stylesheet SCSS errors
- Includes theme variables when extending colors
Adding these classes to the stylesheet link elements in order to toggle dark/light schemes via this theme-component. Eventually this theme-component could possible be merged into core.
Themes can now declare custom colors that get compiled in core's color definitions stylesheet, thus allowing themes to better support dark/light color schemes.
For example, if you need your theme to use tertiary for an element in a light color scheme and quaternary in a dark scheme, you can add the following SCSS to your theme's `color_definitions.scss` file:
```
:root {
--mytheme-tertiary-or-quaternary: #{dark-light-choose($tertiary, $quaternary)};
}
```
And then use the `--mytheme-tertiary-or-quaternary` variable as the color property of that element. You can also use this file to add color variables that use SCSS color transformation functions (lighten, darken, saturate, etc.) without compromising your theme's compatibility with different color schemes.
This fixes an issue where a non-default theme set to use the base color
scheme (i.e. the theme had an empty `color_scheme_id`) was loading the
default theme's color scheme instead.
If a plugin name contained the name of another plugin, the wrong stylesheets would be reloaded. For example, working on discourse-prometheus-alert-receiver would cause discourse-prometheus stylesheets to be reloaded.
A first step to adding automatic dark mode color scheme switching. Adds a new SCSS file at `color_definitions.scss` that serves to output all SCSS color variables as CSS custom properties. And replaces all SCSS color variables with the new CSS custom properties throughout the stylesheets.
This is an alpha feature at this point, can only be enabled via console using the `default_dark_mode_color_scheme_id` site setting.
It seems there was a discrepancy in that background images were attached
to the full slug category class: `category-:slug-:id` and our body class
only had `category-:slug`.
This fix adds support for both formats.
If the feature is enabled, staff members can construct a URL and publish a
topic for others to browse without the regular Discourse chrome.
This is useful if you want to use Discourse like a CMS and publish
topics as articles, which can then be embedded into other systems.
