This reorders the sections such that setting up the development
environment and making sure it runs comes before editing the
code. Also added some clarifying sentences to give context to bullets.
While I was setting up the dev environment, pip failed to install
python-twitter: https://github.com/bear/python-twitter/issues/406
This was fixed by manually installing pytest-runner before trying to
install python-twitter, for both the python and python3 virtualenvs.
Two reasons not to use such links:
- when making doc changes, if you follow links in your local build, they can
cause you to silently end up no longer reading your local changes
- they can cause you to randomly switch between http:// and https://
This adds a dependency on the realpath package on trusty; we could try
to remove it if needed, but given that realpath is included in
coreutils on Xenial (and presumably anything else modern), I think
it's reasonable to add it.
Fixes#1797.
We now instrument URL coverage whenever you run the back end tests,
and if you run the full suite and fail to test all endpoints, we
exit with a non-zero exit code and report failures to you.
If you are running just a subset of the test suite, you'll still
be able to see var/url_coverage.txt, which has some useful info.
With some tweaks to the output from tabbott.
Fixes#1441.
Previously, we rejected the HEAD requests that the trello integration
uses to check if the server accepts the integration.
Add decorator for returning 200 status code if request is HEAD.
Fixes: #2311.
This commit adds a basic eslintrc that emulates jslint defaults.
Rules that conflict with our existing code have been switched to
warnings instead of errors. Globals have been added to the eslintrc. The
bundled js file (generated by webpack) and blueslip.js are ignored with
.eslintignore.
To display warnings, run npm run lint-loud. This runs eslint without the
--quiet option on static/js and frontend_tests.
npm run --silent lint is run by tools/lint-all (in addition to jslint).
The --silent option is used to suppress the default output from npm run.
Fixes#535.
When we filtered buddy lists, a recent change introduced some
bugs related to case-insensitive emails. We now circumvent the
bug by indexing presence_info with user_ids.
If you narrowed to a topic that was not one of the most recent 5
topics and had uppercase characters, it would disappear from the
topic list as soon as all of its messages were read.
If stream names weren't entirely lowercase, then our function
topic_list.is_for_stream() was improperly reporting false and
failing to update unread counts for the active topic widget.
This regression was probably introduced in the fairly recent
53eea250d0 commit.
Fixes#2330.
This helps automatically detect a common issue where users try to use
the Vagrant development environment on windows without administrator
permissions, which results in errors trying to create symlinks.
