- Task name is themes:qunit, not themes:unit
- Some shells try to expand the square brackets. The whole thing should be enclosed in quotes to avoid this
This commit allows site admins to run theme tests in production via a new `/theme-qunit` route. When you visit `/theme-qunit`, you'll see a list of the themes/components installed on your site that have tests, and from there you can select a theme or component that you run its tests.
We also have a new rake task `themes:install_and_test` that can be used to install a list of themes/components on a temporary database and run the tests of the themes/components that are installed. This rake task can be useful when upgrading/deploying a Discourse instance to make sure that the installed themes/components are compatible with the new Discourse version being deployed, and if the tests fail you can abort the build/deploy process so you don't end up with a broken site.

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.
Themes marked for auto update will be automatically updated when
Discourse is updated. This is triggered by discourse_docker or
docker_manager running Rake task 'themes:update'.
In some restricted setups all JS payloads need tight control.
This setting bans admins from making changes to JS on the site and
requires all themes be whitelisted to be used.
There are edge cases we still need to work through in this mode
hence this is still not supported in production and experimental.
Use an example like this to enable:
`DISCOURSE_WHITELISTED_THEME_REPOS="https://repo.com/repo.git,https://repo.com/repo2.git"`
By default this feature is not enabled and no changes are made.
One exception is that default theme id was missing a security check
this was added for correctness.
