This is preparation for our migration of our JS pipeline to webpack,
which includes as part of the process a hack of exporting globals via
the window object.
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.)
We no longer set message.flags in the local echo path.
In the markdown parsing step, we just set message.mentioned
directly.
And then we change `insert_new_messages` to no longer
convert flags to booleans, and move that code to only
happen for incoming server message events.
I pushed a bunch of commits that attempted to introduce
the concept of `client_message_id` into our server, as
part of cleaning up our codepaths related to messages you
sent (both for the locally echoed case and for the host
case).
When we deployed this, we had some strange failures involving
double-echoed messages and issues advancing the pointer that appeared
related to #5779. We didn't get to the bottom of exactly why the PR
caused havoc, but I decided there was a cleaner approach, anyway.
This commit starts to decouple client_message_id from local_id.
We don't really take advantage of the decoupling in this
commit--in fact, it's a bit of a pain at first. But this should
be a fully working checkpoint commit.
The dispatch.js tests now no longer go through server_events.js,
so the tests are isolated from some of the setup you have to
do for the main event loop. They now directly call into
server_events_dispatch.js.
* 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.
