Previously, accessing the Rails app directly in development mode would give you assets from our 'legacy' Ember asset pipeline. The only way to run with Ember CLI assets was to run ember-cli as a proxy. This was quite limiting when working on things which are bypassed when using the ember-cli proxy (e.g. changes to `application.html.erb`). Also, since `ember-auto-import` introduced chunking, visiting `/theme-qunit` under Ember CLI was failing to include all necessary chunks.
This commit teaches Sprockets about our Ember CLI assets so that they can be used in development mode, and are automatically collected up under `/public/assets` during `assets:precompile`. As a bonus, this allows us to remove all the custom manifest modification from `assets:precompile`.
The key changes are:
- Introduce a shared `EmberCli.enabled?` helper
- When ember-cli is enabled, add ember-cli `/dist/assets` as the top-priority Rails asset directory
- Have ember-cli output a `chunks.json` manifest, and teach `preload_script` to read it and append the correct chunks to their associated `afterFile`
- Remove most custom ember-cli logic from the `assets:precompile` step. Instead, rely on Rails to take care of pulling the 'precompiled' assets into the `public/assets` directory. Move the 'renaming' logic to runtime, so it can be used in development mode as well.
- Remove fingerprinting from `ember-cli-build`, and allow Rails to take care of things
Long-term, we may want to replace Sprockets with the lighter-weight Propshaft. The changes made in this commit have been made with that long-term goal in mind.
tldr: when you visit the rails app directly, you'll now be served the current ember-cli assets. To keep these up-to-date make sure either `ember serve`, or `ember build --watch` is running. If you really want to load the old non-ember-cli assets, then you should start the server with `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`. (the legacy asset pipeline will be removed very soon)
This reverts commit 01107e418e.
We have seen some random occurrences of corrupted assets, and think it may be related to the sprockets 4 update. Reverting for investigation
The main difference is that Sprockets 4.0 no longer tries to compile everything by default. This is good for us, because we can remove all our custom 'exclusion' logic which was working around the old sprockets 3.0 behavior.
The other big change is that lambdas can no longer be added to the `config.assets.precompile` array. Instead, we can do the necessary globs ourselves, and add the desired files manually.
A small patch is required to make ember-rails compatible. Since we plan to remove this dependency in the near future, I do not intend to upstream this change.
I have compared the `bin/rake assets:precompile` output before and after this change, and verified that all files are present.

To make this possible in development mode, the `sourceURL=` implementation needs to include something plugin-specific. This has no effect on production.
The asset version is bumped in order to trigger a re-compilation of plugin JS assets.
This can be disabled by setting `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`, but this option will not be available for long. If your theme/plugin/site has issues under Ember CLI, please open a topic on https://meta.discourse.org
This reverts commit 2c7906999a.
The changes break some things in local development (putting JS files
into minified files, not allowing debugger, and others)
This reverts commit ea84a82f77.
This is causing problems with `/theme-qunit` on legacy, non-ember-cli production sites. Reverting while we work on a fix
This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
The `plugin:pull_compatible_all` task is intended to take incompatible plugins and downgrade them to an earlier version. Problem is, when running the rake task in development/production environments, the plugins have already been activated. If an incompatible plugin raises an error in `plugin.rb` then the rake task will be unable to start.
This commit centralises our LOAD_PLUGINS detection, adds support for LOAD_PLUGINS=0 in dev/prod, and adds a warning to `plugin:pull_compatible_all` if it's run with plugins enabled.
Also:
* Remove an unused method (#fill_email)
* Replace a method that was used just once (#generate_username) with `SecureRandom.alphanumeric`
* Remove an obsolete dev puma `tmp/restart` file logic
This adds an optional ENV variable, `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS`. If truthy,
compiling production assets will be done via Ember CLI and will replace
the assets Rails would otherwise use.
The `ember_jquery` bundle contains production builds of Ember and jQuery
which doesn't work with tests. This commits introduces a new
`theme_qunit_vendor` bundle which is copy of the `vendor` bundle but
doesn't contain `ember_jquery`.
This commit is a partial revert of
409c8585e4
In Ember CLI, the vendor bundler includes Ember/jQuery, so this brings
our app closer to that configuration.
We have a couple pages (Reset Password / Confirm New Email) where we need
`ember_jquery` without vendor so the file still exists for those cases.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
In development we regularly restart/reload Rails, which wipes out the schema cache. This then has to be regenerated using DDL queries on the database.
Instead, we can make use of the `rake db:schema:cache:dump` command. This will dump the schema cache to a YAML file, and then load it when needed. This is significantly faster than rebuilding the cache from DDL queries every time.
On every request, Rails checks to see whether any ruby code has been changed on the filesystem. The default FileUpdateChecker does this by iterating over every file on the autoload_paths and comparing its modified-time.
In Discourse, our autoload path of `/app` includes the `/app/assets` directory, and therefore thousands of non-ruby files (e.g. node_modules). This makes the `Dir["/app"]` call very slow (>100ms in my case). On my machine, every Rails-handled request spends around 150-200ms in the FileUpdateChecker. This commit introduces a couple of changes to completely eliminate this wasted time:
- The `/app/assets` directory is excluded from the file watchers. For me, this cut the time spent in the file_watcher to around 50-100ms
- Switches our development config to use the `EventedFileUpdateChecker`, which makes use of the `listen` gem to subscribe to os-specific notifications of changes. This completely removes the `FileUpdateChecker` from the critical path
On my machine, topic_list requests now return in around 80ms (previously >200ms). Live code reload still works as it did before
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.

Get rid of deprecation related to Zeitwerk autoloader.
Original PR was reverted because of multisite bug #12381 - thank you @davidtaylorhq for fixing it.
I added the last commit to fix that multisite problem.
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from Universal Analytics v3 `analytics.js` to v4 `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. We're giving admins the option to stay on the v3 API or migrate to v4. Admins can change the implementation they're using via the `ga_version` site setting. Eventually Google will deprecate v3, but our implementation gives admins the choice on what to use for now.
We chose this implementation to make the change less error prone, as many site admins are using custom events via the v3 UA API. With the site stetting defaulted to `v3_analytics`, site analytics won't break until the admin is ready to make the migration.
Additionally, in the v4 implementation, we do not enable automatic pageview tracking (on by default in the v4 API). Instead we rely on Discourse's page change API to report pageviews on transition to avoid double-tracking.
This is where they should be as far as ember is concerned. Note this is
a huge commit and we should be really careful everything continues to
work properly.
This is a temporary fix since fonts may be cached without CORS
A larger scale change needed.
Our long term solution here is to have the SCSS compilation pipeline take
care of this by introducing some SCSS var that can be consumed in the various
stylesheets.
We do not want to write a file on boot
Syntax highlighting is a CPU-intensive process which we run a lot while rendering posts and while using the composer preview. Moving it to a background worker releases the main thread to the browser, which makes the UX much smoother.
