We had an anonymous callback for drafts that was
hard to read. It's much easier to flatten the code,
give functions actual names, and stub them as needed
in the unit tests.
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 now only call compose_state.composing() in a boolean context,
where we simply care whether or not the compose box is open. The
function now also returns true/false.
Callers who need to know the actual message type (e.g. "stream" or
"private") now call compose_state.get_message_type().
This is mostly just moving methods out of compose.js.
The variable `is_composing_message`, which isn't a boolean, has
been renamed to `message_type`, and there are new functions
set_message_type() and get_message_type() that wrap it.
This commit removes some shims related to the global variable
`compose_state`; now, `compose_state` is a typical global
variable with a 1:1 relationship with the module by the same
name.
The new module has 100% line coverage, most of it coming
via the tests on compose_actions.js. (The methods here are
super simple, so it's a good thing that the tests are somewhat
integrated with a higher layer.)
Previously drafts called compose.snapshot_message which would then
get the message object from compose.create_message_object. This method often
checked for the validity of stream/user recipients which would often cause tracebacks.
The new method in drafts.snapshot message just gets the data from the fields and
stores them in the draft model without any additional checking.
The addDraft and editDraft tests were copying objects by reference
which meant the methods weren't tested properly. Due to this, a bug with
stubTimestamp was also discovered where the method wasn't getting stubbed
* Created a drafts modal to display/restore/delete drafts
* Created a Draft model to support storing draft data in localstorage
* Removed existing restore-draft functionality
* Added casper and node tests for drafts functionality
Fixes#1717.
