This was rewritten by tabbott to use markdown steps, avoid
distractions about things you don't need to change, and remove the
screenshots, which I felt were more clutter than value.
This also means the default dev environment is now based on Ubuntu
18.04 (bionic), part of our overall effort to migrate off Ubuntu
Trusty.

This guide was originally written as part of the process of adding
i18n support to Zulip, so it had way too much focus on development
tooling details not relevant to translators.
There's probably a separate follow-up project we should do to move the
developers-only content to a separate article, since it's kinda lost
here for that audience.
Thanks to David Wood for asking a question that inspired me to do
this.
We now use a Proxy to wrap zjquery elements, so
that we can detect callers trying to invoke methods
(or access attributes) that do not exist. We try
to give useful error messages in those cases.
The main impact here is that we force lots of tests
to explicitly stub `length`.
Also, we can't do equality checks on zjquery
objects any more due to the proxy object, but the
easy workaround is to compare selectors. (This
is generally an unnecessary technique, anyway.)
The proxy wrapper is fairly straightforward, and
we just have a few special cases for things like
"inspect" that happen when you try to print out
objects.
Add references to TypeScript in documentation where appropriate, such
as in example bash commands and discussions of the file structure.
Add a new section to the Reading List with TypeScript resources.
Also update `.editorconfig` to support ".ts" files.
Fix part of #12000.
This adds numerous manual testing methods and checks to the
`manual-testing.md` to verify the functioning of various hotkeys,
click handlers and appearance of the message box.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
Fixes: #11087.
This renames references to user avatars, bot avatars, or organization
icons to profile pictures. The string in the UI are updated,
in addition to the help files, comments, and documentation. Actual
variable/function names, changelog entries, routes, and s3 buckets are
left as-is in order to avoid introducing bugs.
Fixes#11824.
This optimizes test-backend by skipping webhook
tests when run in default mode.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the documentation and update the CI
commands.
To support this, we add a pass_targets option to the main linter
library, because with current mypy, it's generally counterproductive
to pass the list of files in (can produce spurious errors; isn't
faster).
The testing section is more appropriate, since it's fundamentally part
of our CI system.
While we're at it, fix the fact that we were linking to GitHub, not
ReadTheDocs, in the run-mypy output.
On OSX, the user id and group id don't match. So while the previous
code was always wrong, it produced incorrect output there. We can fix
this by replacing `whoami` with `id -g` for finding the current user's
group ID.
This is a first pass at fixing node docs. This commit eliminates
some text that is either obsolete or just overly confusing, and
it fixes some of the code samples to reflect how the API has
evolved in the last couple years. We also prominently tell
you how to run the tests.
I don't think anybody ever really used this feature, which I
developed but don't even use myself. It kind of runs counter
to the minimalist approach of the rest of node tests.
I would eventually like to re-think the template tests altogether.
They're slow, and we could solve that somewhat by replacing
jsdon/jquery with an HTML parser library to verify structural
things.
It's also possible that we can just rely on our template linters
to catch the biggest class of errors (malformed tags) and let
code review do the rest.
And it's also possible that we should make a second attempt to
ramp up tooling on making it easy to verify templates, but it
doesn't have to be part of the node tests. If we did that, we
would also potentially use tooling for Python-side templates.
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing. While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.
This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.
Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.
This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.
Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).
Fixes#5265.
