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.
Two changes were introduced:
1. Reorder links on sidebar section is removed. Clicking and holding the mouse for 250ms was unintuitive;
2. Fixed bugs when reorder is done in edit modal.
What is the problem we are trying to solve here?
The `/` path in our Ember app leads to the `discovery.index` route but
we actually don't render anything on that route leading to a blank page
if the Ember app were to transition to it which is what was happening
when a user adds a custom sidebar section link with the `/` path.
What is the fix there?
Instead of generating a link for the `discovery.index` route when
creating the sidebar section link, we detect if the Ember route is
`discovery.index` and change it to the `discovery.${defaultHomepage()}`
route instead.
Why this change?
We were verifying that a url for a section link in a custom sidebar
section is valid by passing the url string to `Router#recognize`.
If a `rootURL` has been set on the router, the url string that is passed
to `Router#recognize` has to start with the `rootURL`.
This commit fixes the problem by ensuring that `RouteInfoHelper` adds
the application subfolder path before calling `Router#recognize` on the
url string.
Why is this change being made?
We've decided that the previous "community" section should look more
like a primary section that holds the most important navigation links
for the site and the word "community" doesn't quite fit that
description. Therefore, we've made the decision to drop the
section heading for the community section.
As part of removing the section heading, the following changes are made
as well:
1. Button to customize the section has been moved to the "footer" of the
"More..." section when `navigation_menu` site setting is set to `sidebar`.
When `navigation_menu` is set to `header dropdown`, a button to customize
the section is shown inline.
2. The section will no longer be collapsable.
3. The title of the section is no longer customisable as it is no longer
displayed. As a technical note, we have not dropped any previous
customisations of the section's title previously in case we have to
bring back the header in the future.
4. The new topic button that was previously present in the header has
been removed alongside the header. Admins can add a custom section
link to the `/new-topic` route if there would like to make it easier for
users to create a new topic in the sidebar.
Before this change, links which required full reload because they are not in ember routes like `/my/preferences` or links to docs like `/pub/*` were treated as real external links. Therefore, they were opening in self window or new tab based on user `external_links_in_new_tab` setting.
To be consistent with behavior when full reload links are in the post, they are treated as internal and always open in the same window.
Today I learnt that `has_link?("text of link")` by default does an
includes instead of looking for a link with the exact text. This is not
the behaviour I want so I'm changing
`PageObjects::Components::Sidebar.has_section_link?` to use the
`exact_text` option instead.
Before, the review button was shown in `primary section` when there were items to review. Otherwise, it was hidden in `more section`.
Because we are allowing admins to customize community section and reorder link, it makes sense to simplify that logic and review link should follow admin's decision.
Allow admins to edit Community section. This includes drag and drop reorder, change names, delete and reset to default.
Visual improvements introduced in edit community section modal are available in edit custom section form as well. For example:
- drag and drop links to change their position;
- smaller icon picker.
What is the problem?
We are relying on RSpec custom matchers in system tests by defining
predicates in page objects. The problem is that this can result in a
system test unnecessarily waiting up till the full duration of
Capybara's default wait time when the RSpec custom matcher is used with
`not_to`. Considering this topic page object where we have a `has_post?`
predicate defined.
```
class Topic < PageObject
def has_post?
has_css?('something')
end
end
```
The assertion `expect(Topic.new).not_to have_post` will end up waiting
the full Capybara's default wait time since the RSpec custom matcher is
calling Capybara's `has_css?` method which will wait until the selector
appear. If the selector has already disappeared by the time the
assertion is called, we end up waiting for something that will never
exists.
This commit fixes such cases by introducing new predicates that uses
the `has_no_*` versions of Capybara's node matchers.
For future reference, `to have_css` and `not_to have_css` is safe to sue
because the RSpec matcher defined by Capbyara is smart enough to call
`has_css?` or `has_no_css?` based on the expectation of the assertion.
* DEV: move sidebar community section to database
Before, community section was hard-coded. In the future, we are planning to allow admins to edit it. Therefore, it has to be moved to database to `custom_sections` table.
Few steps and simplifications has to be made:
- custom section was hidden behind `enable_custom_sidebar_sections` feature flag. It has to be deleted so all forums, see community section;
- migration to add `section_type` column to sidebar section to show it is a special type;
- migration to add `segment` column to sidebar links to determine if link should be displayed in primary section or in more section;
- simplify more section to have one level only (secondary section links are merged);
- ensure that links like `everything` are correctly tracking state;
- make user an anonymous links position consistence. For example, from now on `faq` link for user and anonymous is visible in more tab;
- delete old community-section template.
Previously, public custom sections were only visible to logged-in users. In this PR, we are making them visible to anonymous as well.
The reason is that Community Section will be moved into custom section model to be easily editable by admins.
Before, incorrectly filled fields were marked with red border. Now, additional information under the field is displayed to notify the user what is incorrect.
/t/93696
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
