This is part of work to break some of our
nastier circular dependencies in preparation
for our es6 migration.
This commit should facilitate loading leaf-like
modules such as people.js before all of the things
that reload.js depends on.
This was supposed to be suppressed when a reload is in progress,
however, the logic was accidentally checking that
reload.is_in_progress was a defined function, not whether a reload was
actually in progress.
This run_test helper sets up a convention that allows
us to give really short tracebacks for errors, and
eventually we can have more control over running
individual tests. (The latter goal has some
complications, since we often intentionally leak
setup in tests.)
If the browser is in the progress of reloading when it finishes
fetching some messages, it's not really a bug, and we shouldn't report
it as such.
This should help make Zulip's browser error reporting less spammy.
Also adds a custom rule to eslint. Since the recommended way of extending
eslint is to create plugins as standalone npm packages, the separate rule
is published as 'eslint-plugins-empty-returns'.
Fixes#8669.
This commit is easy to revert if we want to tone down errors
to warnings for the short term, while our codepath still does
proper handling for adding users when they come in messages.
This is mostly a pure extraction, but we needed to duplicate
a bit of setup from people.js, and I added an assertion
for warning about "No user_id provided".
