This allow the webbpack dev server to properly reload JavaScript modules
while running in dev without restarting the server. We need to connect
to webpack-dev-server directly because SockJS doesn't support more than
one connection on the same host/port.
The function with_overrides() uses the logic from the old
run() function in dispatch.js to allow you to call a test
function and override parts of the global namespace only
for the duration of when test_function runs.
- 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
- Remove `codepointat` from `static/third` and fetch it from `npm`.
- Upgrade `codepointat` to 0.2.0.
- Bump up the `PROVISION_VERSION` to 4.1.
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 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.
This introduces a very minor different in behavior if you specify
an invalid filename as a command line argument. We now show
warnings for those *before* running the rest of the tests.
