All of the tests in this file are commented out so this file does
nothing. We can uncomment the code and clean it up, but the approach
taken in these tests will never work: For security reasons, browsers
do not allow synthetic key events to perform the default
behavior (such as moving the carent when an arrow key is pressed).
There are two ways to test responses to navigation keys:
* Use WebDriver to create "genuine" keyboard events.
* Suppress the default behavior and implement caret movement
ourselves. This is tremendously complicated, especially arrow
up/down.
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problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm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')
This makes it possible for plugin backend tests to do
`require('ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common')` to access the API
key (among other things).
Eventually we probably should reverse these (move `tests/` to
`src/tests/` and make `tests/` a symlink to `src/tests/`) and move
`bin/` to `src/bin/` so that we can avoid the top-level `package.json`
mess.
