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.)
Prior to this we were also performing highlighting inside HTML tags
which was wrong and causing weird behavior. Like, for example, if
someone added `emoji` as an alert word then any message containing
both emoji and alert word was rendered with a jumbo emoji.
Fixes: #4357.
Earlier commits removed all uses of page_params.email outside
of people.js, and it turns out we have page_params.user_id, so
we don't even need page_params.email for seeding the data.
This commit doesn't change any behavior yet, but it starts us
down the road of deprecating page_params.email and allowing
people.js to control all access to the current user's email,
which will be important for email changes.
* In most cases, eslint --fix with the right comma-dangle settings was
able to update the code correctly.
* The exceptions were cases where the parser incorrectly treated the
arguments to functions like `assert_equal` as arguments; we fixed
these manually. Since this is test code, we can be reasonably
confident that just fixing the failures suffices to correct any bugs
introduced by making changes automatically.
Previously, we were checking if a particular user was the current user
in dozens of places in the codebase, and correct case-insensitive
checks were not used consistently, leading to bugs like #502.
