In this way the only external call to statFile() provides an explicit value for
"dirStatLimit", and thus the initial check on "undefined" at the start of the
function could be removed (just added a comment for now).
This is documented to be more performant.
The substitution was made on frontend code, too (i.e., the one in /static),
because Date.now() is supported since IE 9, and we are life supporting only
IE 11.
Commands:
find . -name *.js | xargs sed --in-place "s/new Date().getTime()/Date.now()/g"
find . -name *.js | xargs sed --in-place "s/(new Date()).getTime()/Date.now()/g"
Not done on jQuery.
The hostname:port of URIs used in Minify are currently bogus and refer
to localhost only for historical reasons; there's no reason to retain
them and omitting them avoids generating an invalid URI when "port" is
not an integer.
Context: settings.port is passed to express's listen; if not numeric, it
is used a filename for a Unix domain socket.
This allows e.g. starting a server to be reverse-proxied on a multi-user
system, using the filesystem to handle access control and avoiding need
to allocate port numbers.
Before this change, etherpad-lite starts without error when configured
to listen on a Unix domain socket in this manner. However, `pad.js` and
`ace2_common.js` are generated incorrecting, causing an error
"Uncaught Error: The module at "ep_etherpad-lite/static/js/rjquery" does not exist."
when loading the editor:
When settings.port is a non-numeric string, e.g. `etherpad.sock`, a URI
of the form `http://localhost:etherpad.sock/static/js/rjquery.js` is
generated and parsed to find the file needed. In this case, the file
searched for is `:etherpad.sock/static/js/rjquery.js`, rather than the
expected `static/js/rjquery.js`. No such file exists, and the required
code is silently omitted from the bundle.
As a workaround, hard-code a (meaningless) hostname which can be parsed
correctly, since the current code makes no use of it anyway.
This meant plumbing a callback through to `compressCSS()`, which meant that
I had to alter the innards of `getFileCompressed()`. I tried to leave that
function looking more understandable than when I found it; for example, I
flattened out the nested `if`.
I went ahead and upgraded the version of `clean-css` while I was in the
territory.
