The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
Why this change?
Back in May 17 2023 along with the release of Discourse 3.1, we announced
on meta that the legacy hamburger dropdown navigation menu is
deprecated and will be dropped in Discourse 3.2. This is the link to the announcement
on meta: https://meta.discourse.org/t/removing-the-legacy-hamburger-navigation-menu-option/265274
## What does this change do?
This change removes the `legacy` option from the `navigation_menu` site
setting and migrates existing sites on the `legacy` option to the
`header dropdown` option.
All references to the `legacy` option in code and tests have been
removed as well.
I'm not sure why this is necessary and it doesn't seem to affect
anything if I remove it. Either way, we shouldn't have plugin related
code polluting core.
## Why do we need this change?
When loading the ember app, [MessageBus does not start polling immediately](f31f0b70f8/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/initializers/message-bus.js (L71-L81)) and instead waits for `document.readyState` to be `complete`. What this means is that if there are new messages being created while we have yet to start polling, those messages will not be received by the client.
With sidebar being the default navigation menu, the counts derived from `topic-tracking-state.js` on the client side is prominently displayed on every page. Therefore, we want to ensure that we are not dropping any messages on the channels that `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to.
## What does this change do?
This includes the `MessageBus.last_id`s for the MessageBus channels which `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to as part of the preloaded data when loading a page. The last ids are then used when we subscribe the MessageBus channels so that messages which are published before MessageBus starts polling will not be missed.
## Review Notes
1. See https://github.com/discourse/message_bus#client-support for documentation about subscribing from a given message id.
