static/ serves static files which get copied around per deploy. Since
the webpack stats files need a consistent name and change per deploy,
they can't live in static/.
This fixes a bug that preventing downgrading a Zulip server to an old
version.
This allow the webbpack dev server to properly reload JavaScript modules
while running in dev without restarting the server. We need to connect
to webpack-dev-server directly because SockJS doesn't support more than
one connection on the same host/port.
This hack saved a lot of time debugging weird issues back in 2016, but
it's no longer needed.
Anyone rebasing a branch from 2016 will need to provision afterwards
regardless, which will fix this issue automatically, and more
importantly, these changes were made obsolete when we moved to the
cached `node_modules` model.
Updates `get_success_stamp()` function to use the `emoji-datasource`
package's version while calculating success stamp so that an emoji
cache rebuild gets triggered automatically if the version is changed.
Apparently, this was missing on Xenial, and we just never noticed
because the package was installed by default on Ubuntu.
It doesn't exist yet in Trusty.
This tool was used for downloading sprite sheets from iamcal's
repository. Since now we have moved to using `emoji-datasource`
npm package, this tool is no longer required.
This commit does the following things:
* Instead of using a manual tool for downloading sprite sheets, use
`emoji-datasource` npm package.
* Modify the `build_emoji` script to use sprite sheets from the npm
package.
Bumps PROVISION_VERSION.
Fixes: #4730.
NPM packages should be installed at the beginning of the provisioning
process so that later in the provisioning process if a script requires
any NPM package it can use it. Earlier, we were installing NPM packages
in the last as the installation process can fail due to network issues
but since we now retry in case the installation fails, they can be
installed safely at the beginning of the process as well just like apt
packages.
This mostly sets the stage for a subsequent commit to start
using client_message_id as the key into sent_messages.
It has the nice side effect of making it more explicit that
certain things should always happen when transmit_message()
succeeds.
This commit does regress our node test coverage a bit.
This is mostly straightforward moving of code out of compose.js.
The code that was moved currently supports sending time
reports for sent messages, but we intend to grow out the new
module to track more state about sent messages.
The following function names in this commit are new, but their
code was basically pulled over verbatim:
process_success (was process_send_time)
set_timer_for_restarting_event_loop
clear
initialize
All the code in the new module is covered by previous tests that
had been written for compose.js. This commit only modifies
a few things to keep those tests.
The new module has 100% node coverage, so we updated `enforce_fully_covered`.
This redesigns the /help/ page sets to be a single page app that uses
history.pushState to work the same as the old app.
The big new feature is that now we have the index in a nicely designed
left sidebar.
This works around a frequent problem we've been having with Travis
CI's apt repository being busted on startup. This, in turn, caused
`apt-get install moreutils` to fail.
We attempt to fix this by adding our own retry logic.
This optimizes .pyc files removal.
Instead of removing all pyc files, it will only remove pyc files where
corresponding py file is not found. This saves about 1s in the
startup time of `run-dev.py` (and thus also `test-js-with-casper`).
Fixes#5760.
