## How does this work?
Any time a lint rule is added or changed, you can run `yarn lint:fix` to handle all the auto-fixable situations.
But not all lints are auto-fixable -- for those, lint-to-the-future has tooling to automatically ignore present violations.
An alias has been added for lint-to-the-future to ignore new violations, `yarn lttf:ignore`.
The command will add lint-ignore declarations throughout all the files with present violations, which should then be committed.
An excerpt from lint-to-the-future's [README](https://github.com/mansona/lint-to-the-future#lint-to-the-future-dashboard):
> The point of Lint to the Future is to allow you to progressively update your codebase using new lint rules without overwhelming you with the task. You can easily ignore lint rules using project-based ignores in your config files but that doesn't prevent you from making the same errors in new files.
> We chose to do the ignores on a file basis as it is a perfect balance and it means that the tracking/graphing aspects of Lint to the Future provide you with achievable goals, especially in large codebases.
## How do I view progress?
lint-to-the-future provides graphs of violations-over-time per lint rule in a dashboard format, so we can track how well we're doing at cleaning up the violations.
To view the dashboard locally, run `yarn lint-progress` and visit `http://localhost:8084` (or whatever the port it chose, as it will choose a new port if 8084 is preoccupied)
Also there is a `list` command which shows a JSON object of:
```ts
{
[date: string]: { // yyyy-mm-dd
[pluginName: string]: {
[fileName: string]: string[]; // list of files with violations
}
}
}
```
```bash
yarn lint-to-the-future list --stdout
```
## What about lint-todo?
Lint todo is another system available for both eslint and ember-template-lint that _forces_ folks to "leave things better than they found them" by being transparent / line-specific ignoring of violations.
It was decided that for _this_ project, it made more sense, and would be less disruptive to new contributors to have the ignore declarations explicitly defined in each file (whereas in lint-todo, they are hidden).
To effectively use lint-todo, a whole team needs to agree to the workflow, and in open source, we want "just anyway" to be able to contribute, and throwing surprises at them can deter contributions.
In production, `eager_load=true`. This sometimes leads to boot errors which are not present in dev/test environments. Running `zeitwerk:check` in CI will help us to pick up on any errors early.
This commit also introduces a `DISCOURSE_ZEITWERK_EAGER_LOAD` environment variable to make it easier to toggle the behaviour when developing locally.
This is a combined work of Martin Brennan, Loïc Guitaut, and Joffrey Jaffeux.

This commit implements a base service object when working in chat. The documentation is available at https://discourse.github.io/discourse/chat/backend/Chat/Service.html
Generating documentation has been made as part of this commit with a bigger goal in mind of generally making it easier to dive into the chat project.
Working with services generally involves 3 parts:
- The service object itself, which is a series of steps where few of them are specialized (model, transaction, policy)
```ruby
class UpdateAge
include Chat::Service::Base
model :user, :fetch_user
policy :can_see_user
contract
step :update_age
class Contract
attribute :age, :integer
end
def fetch_user(user_id:, **)
User.find_by(id: user_id)
end
def can_see_user(guardian:, **)
guardian.can_see_user(user)
end
def update_age(age:, **)
user.update!(age: age)
end
end
```
- The `with_service` controller helper, handling success and failure of the service within a service and making easy to return proper response to it from the controller
```ruby
def update
with_service(UpdateAge) do
on_success { render_serialized(result.user, BasicUserSerializer, root: "user") }
end
end
```
- Rspec matchers and steps inspector, improving the dev experience while creating specs for a service
```ruby
RSpec.describe(UpdateAge) do
subject(:result) do
described_class.call(guardian: guardian, user_id: user.id, age: age)
end
fab!(:user) { Fabricate(:user) }
fab!(:current_user) { Fabricate(:admin) }
let(:guardian) { Guardian.new(current_user) }
let(:age) { 1 }
it { expect(user.reload.age).to eq(age) }
end
```
Note in case of unexpected failure in your spec, the output will give all the relevant information:
```
1) UpdateAge when no channel_id is given is expected to fail to find a model named 'user'
Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to fail_to_find_a_model(:user) }
Expected model 'foo' (key: 'result.model.user') was not found in the result object.
[1/4] [model] 'user' ❌
[2/4] [policy] 'can_see_user'
[3/4] [contract] 'default'
[4/4] [step] 'update_age'

This broke because of directory ownership errors during `git ls-files`. This commit fixes the permissions and adds bash flags so that those kind of errors will blow up the step in future.
The `git` version in our discourse_test docker image was recently updated to include a permissions check before running any git commands. For this to pass, the owner of the discourse directory needs to match the user running any git commands.
Under GitHub actions, by default the working directory is created with uid=1000 as the owner. We run all our tests as `root`, so this mismatch causes git to raise the permissions error. We can't switch to run the entire workflow as the `discourse (uid=1000)` user because our discourse_test image is not configured to allow `discourse` access to postgres/redis directories. For now, this commit updates the working directory's owner to match the user running the workflow.
Note this commit also slightly changes internal API: channel instead of getChannel and updateCurrentUserChannelNotificationsSettings instead of updateCurrentUserChatChannelNotificationsSettings.
Also destroyChannel takes a second param which is the name confirmation instead of an optional object containing this confirmation. This is to enforce the fact that it's required.
In the future a top level jsdoc config file could be used instead of the hack tempfile, but while it's only an experiment for chat, it's probably good enough.
This commit introduces the necessary gems and config, but adds all our ruby code directories to the `--ignore-files` list.
Future commits will apply syntax_tree to parts of the codebase, removing the ignore patterns as we go
Our working theory is that system tests on Github run on much less
powerful hardware as compared to running the tests on our work machines.
Hopefully, increasing the wait time now will help reduce some flakes
that we're seeing on Github.

not /tmp/screenshots. This should fix the issue. Also makes plugin system specs
use documentation format and profile.
This commit introduces rails system tests run with chromedriver, selenium,
and headless chrome to our testing toolbox.
We use the `webdrivers` gem and `selenium-webdriver` which is what
the latest Rails uses so the tests run locally and in CI out of the box.
You can use `SELENIUM_VERBOSE_DRIVER_LOGS=1` to show extra
verbose logs of what selenium is doing to communicate with the system
tests.
By default JS logs are verbose so errors from JS are shown when
running system tests, you can disable this with
`SELENIUM_DISABLE_VERBOSE_JS_LOGS=1`
You can use `SELENIUM_HEADLESS=0` to run the system
tests inside a chrome browser instead of headless, which can be useful to debug things
and see what the spec sees. See note above about `bin/ember-cli` to avoid
surprises.
I have modified `bin/turbo_rspec` to exclude `spec/system` by default,
support for parallel system specs is a little shaky right now and we don't
want them slowing down the turbo by default either.
### PageObjects and System Tests
To make querying and inspecting parts of the page easier
and more reusable inbetween system tests, we are using the
concept of [PageObjects](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/test_practices/encouraged/page_object_models/) in
our system tests. A "Page" here is generally corresponds to
an overarching ember route, e.g. "Topic" for `/t/324345/some-topic`,
and this contains logic for querying components within the topic
such as "Posts".
I have also split "Modals" into their own entity. Further down the
line we may want to explore creating independent "Component"
contexts.
Capybara DSL should be included in each PageObject class,
reference for this can be found at https://rubydoc.info/github/teamcapybara/capybara/master#the-dsl
For system tests, since they are so slow, we want to focus on
the "happy path" and not do every different possible context
and branch check using them. They are meant to be overarching
tests that check a number of things are correct using the full stack
from JS and ember to rails to ruby and then the database.
### CI Setup
Whenever a system spec fails, a screenshot
is taken and a build artifact is produced _after the entire CI run is complete_,
which can be downloaded from the Actions UI in the repo.
Most importantly, a step to build the Ember app using Ember CLI
is needed, otherwise the JS assets cannot be found by capybara:
```
- name: Build Ember CLI
run: bin/ember-cli --build
```
A new `--build` argument has been added to `bin/ember-cli` for this
case, which is not needed locally if you already have the discourse
rails server running via `bin/ember-cli -u` since the whole server is built and
set up by default.

Both versions are used with `--headless`, so labelling one "Firefox" and the other "Firefox Headless" doesn't really make sense. Evergreen / ESR are better descriptions.
We added `always()` on some steps so that they run even if previous steps fail. That helps give us a picture of all failures in one run, rather than having to re-run the workflow after fixing the first failure.
However, when we explicitly cancel a job, we should skip running these steps. `!cancelled()` is a better substitute for `always()` in this case.
When `EMBER_CLI_PLUGIN_ASSETS=1`, plugin application JS will be compiled via Ember CLI. In this mode, the existing `register_asset` API will cause any registered JS files to be made available in `/plugins/{plugin-name}_extra.js`. These 'extra' files will be loaded immediately after the plugin app JS file, so this should not affect functionality.
Plugin compilation in Ember CLI is implemented as an addon, similar to the existing 'admin' addon. We bypass the normal Ember CLI compilation process (which would add the JS to the main app bundle), and reroute the addon Broccoli tree into a separate JS file per-plugin. Previously, Sprockets would add compiled templates directly to `Ember.TEMPLATES`. Under Ember CLI, they are compiled into es6 modules. Some new logic in `discourse-boot.js` takes care of remapping the new module names into the old-style `Ember.TEMPLATES`.
This change has been designed to be a like-for-like replacement of the old plugin compilation system, so we do not expect any breakage. Even so, the environment variable flag will allow us to test this in a range of environments before enabling it by default.
A manual silence implementation is added for the build-time `ember-glimmer.link-to.positional-arguments` deprecation while we work on a better story for plugins.
Each test chunk takes about 10 minutes, so those timeouts can be decreased from 20 to 15.
And there are three of those chunks so total can be a bit over 30 minutes, hence the bump to 35.
Anyone still using `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0` in development or production will be gracefully switched to Ember CLI. In development, a repeated message will be logged to STDERR.
Similarly, passing `QUNIT_EMBER_CLI=0` to the qunit rake task will now do nothing. A warning will be printed, and ember-cli mode will be used. Note that we've chosen not to fail the task, so that existing plugin/theme CI jobs don't immediately start failing. We may switch to a hard fail in the coming days/weeks.
