This seems like a small change (apart from all the
test changes), but it fundamentally changes how
the app finds "topic" on message objects. Now
all code that used to set "subject" now sets "topic"
on message-like objects. We convert incoming messages
to have topic, and we write to "topic" all the way up
to hitting the server (which now accepts "topic" on
incoming endpoints).
We fall back to subject as needed, but the code will
emit a warning that should be heeded--the "subject"
field is prone to becoming stale for things like
topic changes.
This is part of work to break some of our
nastier circular dependencies in preparation
for our es6 migration.
This commit should facilitate loading leaf-like
modules such as people.js before all of the things
that reload.js depends on.
This makes sure that CSRF token is available while initializing
Socket, irrespective of the order of execution of deferred callbacks
after document becomes ready.
This is part of #9416.
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 now isolate the code to transmit messages into transmit.js.
It is stable code that most folks doing UI work in compose.js don't
care about the details of, so it's just clutter there. Also, we may
soon have other widgets than the compose box that send messages.
This change mostly preserves test coverage, although in some cases
we stub at a higher level for the compose path (this is a good thing).
Extracting out transmit.js allows us to lock down 100% coverage on that
file.
