Also add symlinks from the old `bin/` and `tests/` locations to avoid
breaking scripts and other tools.
Motivations:
* Scripts and tests no longer have to do dubious things like:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
to access packages installed as dependencies in
`src/package.json`.
* Plugins can access the backend test helper library in a non-hacky
way:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common')
* We can delete the top-level `package.json` without breaking our
ability to lint the files in `bin/` and `tests/`.
Deleting the top-level `package.json` has downsides: It will cause
`npm` to print warnings whenever plugins are installed, npm will
no longer be able to enforce a plugin's peer dependency on
ep_etherpad-lite, and npm will keep deleting the
`node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite` symlink that points to `../src`.
But there are significant upsides to deleting the top-level
`package.json`: It will drastically speed up plugin installation
because `npm` doesn't have to recursively walk the dependencies in
`src/package.json`. Also, deleting the top-level `package.json`
avoids npm's horrible dependency hoisting behavior (where it moves
stuff from `src/node_modules/` to the top-level `node_modules/`
directory). Dependency hoisting causes numerous mysterious
problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm
update`. Dependency hoisting also breaks plugins that do:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
Normally I would let `eslint --fix` do this for me, but there's a bug
that causes:
const x = function ()
{
// ...
};
to become:
const x = ()
=> {
// ...
};
which ESLint thinks is a syntax error. (It probably is; I don't know
enough about the automatic semicolon insertion rules to be confident.)
New feature to copy a pad without copying entire history. This is useful to perform a low CPU intensive operation while still copying current pad state.
1. Introduce contentcollector.js backend tests
1. Fix issue with OL LI items not being properly numbered after import
1. Fix issue with nested OL LI items being improperly numbered on export
1. Fix issue with new lines not being introduced after lists in on import #3961
1. Sanitize HTML on the way in (import)
1. Fix ExportHTML CSS because it needs to support OL > LI > OL not OL > OL [The latter being the correct format]
1. Fix backend tests.
The old loadSettings.js was a way of customizing settings upon load, because
the Settings module did not offer this functionality. But it did not work well,
since all the default settings were not loaded.
Let's get rid of loadSettings.js for the bulk of the tests (the "backend"
specs). For the "container" specs, we'll keep it in place until/if we rewrite
Settings.js making it less brittle.
This is allowed starting from fc661ee13a ("core: allow URL parameters and POST
bodies to co-exist"), which landed in Etherpad 1.8.0. For the discussion, see
issue #3568.
Note by muxator:
This commit introduced a copied & modified version of the testing files
loadSettings.js and pad.js.
It's Christmas night, and we want to shipt this feature, so I merged it anyway,
adding a note in both the original and copied files so that hopefully someone
in the distant future is going to merge them back again.
In the following commits Pierre is going to copy & modify some files.
This commit prepares the source files in order to minimize those differences,
so we can re-unify them as soon as possible.
No functional changes.
This commit replaces an old test with a new, different one.
Reasons for removing the old test:
- the old list test was introduced in cadb83a with an explicit attempt to import
an invalid HTML and see if it could recover from it
- in 5967e08 the code base finally managed to export a meaningful HTML (but we
do not know if other bugs were introduced in pursuing this)
- the old test seemed to aim at attaining resiliency, but correctness should be
addressed before that
