This PR is a major change to Sass compilation in Discourse.
The new version of sass-ruby moves to dart-sass putting we back on the supported version of Sass. It does so while keeping compatibility with the existing method signatures, so minimal change is needed in Discourse for this change.
This moves us
From:
- sassc 2.0.1 (Feb 2019)
- libsass 3.5.2 (May 2018)
To:
- dart-sass 1.58

SCSS files have been migrated automatically using `sass-migrator division app/assets/stylesheets/**/*.scss`
This commits adds the ability to add a header to the embedded comments
view. One use case for this is to allow `postMessage` communication
between the comments iframe and the parent frame, for example, when
toggling the theme of the parent webpage.
Theme javascript is now minified using Terser, just like our core/plugin JS bundles. This reduces the amount of data sent over the network.
This commit also introduces sourcemaps for theme JS. Browser developer tools will now be able show each source file separately when browsing, and also in backtraces.
For theme test JS, the sourcemap is inlined for simplicity. Network load is not a concern for tests.
Previously, compiling theme 'extra_js' was done with a number of steps. Each theme_field would be compiled into its own value_baked column, and then the JavascriptCache content would be built by concatenating all of those compiled values.
This commit streamlines things by removing the value_baked step. The raw value of all extra_js theme_fields are passed directly to the ThemeJavascriptCompiler, and then the result is stored in the JavascriptCache.
In itself, this commit should not cause any behavior change. It is designed to open the door to more advanced compilation features which have interdependencies between different source files (e.g. template colocation, sourcemaps).
Previously we were relying on a highly-customized version of the unmaintained Barber gem for theme template compilation. This commit switches us to use our own DiscourseJsProcessor, which makes use of more modern patterns and will be easier to maintain going forward.
In summary:
- Refactors DiscourseJsProcessor to move multiline JS heredocs into a companion `discourse-js-processor.js` file
- Use MiniRacer's `.call` method to avoid manually escaping JS strings
- Move Theme template AST transformers into DiscourseJsProcessor, and formalise interface for extending RawHandlebars AST transformations
- Update Ember template compilation to use a babel-based approach, just like Ember CLI. This gives each template its own ES6 module rather than directly assigning `Ember.TEMPLATES` values
- Improve testing of template compilation (and move some tests from `theme_javascript_compiler_spec.rb` to `discourse_js_processor_spec.rb`
This is pre-request work to introduce a splash screen while site assets load.
The only change this commit introduces is that it ensures we add the defer attribute to core/plugin/theme .JS files. This will allow us to insert markup before the browser starts evaluating those scripts later on. It has no visual or functional impact on core.
This will not have any impact on how themes and plugins work. The only exception is themes loading external scripts in the </head> theme field directly via script tags. Everything will work the same but those would need to add the defer attribute if they want to keep the benefits introduced in this PR.

Due to default CSP web workers instantiated from CDN based assets are still
treated as "same-origin" meaning that we had no way of safely instansiating
a web worker from a theme.
This limits the theme system and adds the arbitrary restriction that WASM
based components can not be safely used.
To resolve this limitation all js assets in about.json are also cached on
local domain.
{
"name": "Header Icons",
"assets" : {
"worker" : "assets/worker.js"
}
}
This can then be referenced in JS via:
settings.theme_uploads_local.worker
local_js_assets are unconditionally served from the site directly and
bypass the entire CDN, using the pre-existing JavascriptCache
Previous to this change this code was completely dormant on sites which
used s3 based uploads, this reuses the very well tested and cached asset
system on s3 based sites.
Note, when creating local_js_assets it is highly recommended to keep the
assets lean and keep all the heavy working in CDN based assets. For example
wasm files can still live on the CDN but the lean worker that loads it can
live on local.
This change unlocks wasm in theme components, so wasm is now also allowed
in `theme_authorized_extensions`
* more usages of upload.content
* add a specific test for upload.content
* Adjust logic to ensure that after upgrades we still get a cached local js
on save
The previous Discourse.cache usage was different to how other theme-related caching is handled, and also requires reaching out to redis every time. The common theme cache is held in memory (as a DistributedCache)
- Update UI to improve contrast
- Make it clear that the message is only shown to administrators
- Add theme name and id to the console output
- Parse the error backtrace to identify the theme-id for post-decoration errors
- Improve console output to include the theme name / URL
- Add `?safe_mode=no_custom` to the admin panel link, so that it will work even if the theme is causing the site to break

Fixes two issues:
- ignores invalid XML in custom icon sprite SVG file (and outputs an error if sprite was uploaded via admin UI)
- clears SVG sprite cache when deleting an `icons-sprite` upload in a theme
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.
This commit allows themes and theme components to have QUnit tests. To add tests to your theme/component, create a top-level directory in your theme and name it `test`, and Discourse will save all the files in that directory (and its sub-directories) as "tests files" in the database. While tests files/directories are not required to be organized in a specific way, we recommend that you follow Discourse core's tests [structure](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/tests).
Writing theme tests should be identical to writing plugins or core tests; all the `import` statements and APIs that you see in core (or plugins) to define/setup tests should just work in themes.
You do need a working Discourse install to run theme tests, and you have 2 ways to run theme tests:
* In the browser at the `/qunit` route. `/qunit` will run tests of all active themes/components as well as core and plugins. The `/qunit` now accepts a `theme_name` or `theme_url` params that you can use to run tests of a specific theme/component like so: `/qunit?theme_name=<your_theme_name>`.
* In the command line using the `themes:qunit` rake task. This take is meant to run tests of a single theme/component so you need to provide it with a theme name or URL like so: `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[name=<theme_name>]` or `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[url=<theme_url>]`.
There are some refactors to how Discourse processes JavaScript that comes with themes/components, and these refactors may break your JS customizations; see https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-core-changes-that-may-break-some-themes-components-april-12/186252?u=osama for details on how you can check if your themes/components are affected and what you need to do to fix them.
This commit also improves theme error handling in Discourse. We will now be able to catch errors that occur when theme initializers are run and prevent them from breaking the site and other themes/components.

There are some refactors to internal code that's responsible for processing themes/components in Discourse, most notably:
* `<script type="text/discourse-plugin">` tags are automatically converted to modules.
* The `theme-settings` service is removed in favor of a simple `lib` file responsible for managing theme settings. This was done to allow us to register/lookup theme settings very early in our Ember app lifecycle and because there was no reason for it to be an Ember service.
These refactors should 100% backward compatible and invisible to theme developers.
* DEV: Show warning message when using ember css selectors
When editing the theme css via the admin UI a warning message
will be displayed if it detects that the `#emberXXX` or `.ember-view`
css selectors are being used. These are dynamic selectors that ember
generates, but they can change so they should not be used.
* Update error message text to be more helpful
* Display a warning instead of erroring out
This allows the theme to still be saved, but a warning is displayed.
Updated the tests to check for the error message.
Updated the pre tags css so that it wraps for long messages.
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.
Hostname can vary per-site on a multisite cluster, so this change requires converting the compiler_version from a constant into a class method which is evaluated at runtime. The value is stored in the theme DistributedCache, so performance impact should be negligible.
We were sharing `Discourse` both as an application object and a
namespace which complicated things for Ember CLI. This patch
moves raw templates into `__DISCOURSE_RAW_TEMPLATES` and adds
a couple helper methods to create/remove them.
* DEV: Use Ember 3.12.2
* Add Ember version to ThemeField's DEPENDENT_CONSTANTS
* DEV: Use `id` instead of `elementId` (See: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/18147)
* FIX: Don't leak event listeners (bug introduced in 999e2ff)
Previously theme translations were loaded along with other plugin API scripts. These run after pre-initializers and initializers when the app boots. This commit moves theme translation loading into pre-initializers, so their behaviour matches core translations more closely.
