We have less urgency to test all templates now. The
most common error is probably unbalanced tags, and our
python-based template checker catches those problems
pretty well.
It's still possible to create bad templates, of course,
but the node tests have never been super deep at finding
semantic errors.
- Remove `underscore.js` from `static/third` and fetch it from `npm`.
- Upgrade `underscore.js` to 1.8.3.
- Bump up the `PROVISION_VERSION` to 4.2.
Part of #1709
Now we just have two methods of importance:
compile_template
render_template
The compile_template() function will automatically
(and recursively) compile any partials it depends
on and mark those as compiled.
When the render function is run now, it uses the partial_finder
function to search recursively through files for partials and add them
so that test writers don’t have to.
This means that we no longer have to do any manual work to maintain
the templates.js check that all handlebars templates are rendered by
the node tests.
This separates the display settings module from the
settings_table.handlebars template.
Additionally, it fixes the node tests to search in the
static/templates/settings directory and initialize any templates in there
while running tests on the settings templates.
This makes sure we are explicit about partials in
individual test modules. Eventually, we should figure
out a way to make partials automatically compile as
part of the node tests.
