Useful for random historical facts that give useful context for developers
of Liza. It hopefully helps to mitigate some of the issues of Theory
Building as noted by Peter Naur.
* doc/liza.css: Refactor some styles to make them more concise.
(.trivia): Add styling.
* doc/macros.texi (trivia): Add macro.
Continued eradication of jQuery for performance reasons.
* src/ui/ElementStyler.js (setValueByName): Do not use jQuery for
legacyradio styling. Throw exception on `change_event' argument set (this
should no longer be used).
This used to be a thing back when we used Dojo, but it doesn't appear to be
used anymore.
* src/ui/ElementStyler.js (setValueByName): Remove `autochange' check.
Lines starting
The primary motivation behind this change was documentation of
links. Developers (including myself---it's been a while) misinterpreted
then as references to existing groups, not arbitrary names.
* doc/program.texi (Defining Groups): New section.
(Group Styles): Reference to new section.
* doc/liza.css: Each of the entities below may have additional selectors
following them, not listed here.
(.doc-notice.dev): Renamed to `.devnotice'.
(.doc-notice.devnotice, .doc-notice.devnote): New classes.
* doc/macros.texi (devnotice): {dev=>devnotice} @noticestart argument.
(devnote): New macro.
These animations are ugly and slow when there are many questions on a
step. I've wanted them gone for quite some time, and now we don't have a
disagreement among developers.
* src/client/ClientDependencyFactory.js (createNaFieldStyler): Remove
NaFieldStylerAnimation mixin.
* src/ui/styler/NaFieldStylerAnimation.js: Remove trait.
This is necessary to truncate on index removal; otherwise, it's not possible
to remove indexes through the editor.
* src/client/debug/BucketClientDebugTab.js (_getStagingButtons): Append null
on value change.
An error was being thrown because there are no siblings to reference when
there is only a single group. Obviously sorting is not even needed in such
a situation.
src/ui/step/GeneralStepUi.js (_sortGroups): Abort if <= 1 groups.
Configurable via the `pidfile' config option.
* bin/server.js: Accept `pidfile' config. Include path in greeting.
(writePidFile): Write to `pidfile' and unlink after exit.
* conf/vanilla-server.json (pidfile): Add configuration key.
Was outputting NaN, because the property that was being used no longer
existed after previous changes.
* src/server/daemon/Daemon.js (_initHttpServer): Use HTTP port number
in output.
This isn't ideal, but will allow using daemons classes from anywhere
on disk.
* bin/server.js: Interpret daemon path as relative to conf file path.
* conf/vanilla-server.json: Use relative path to `DevDaemon'.
Previous to this change, we'd write the clear to the database, but
then immediately after, the quote save would restore it. Oops.
* src/server/Server.js (_monitorMetadataPromise): Clear data in
metabucket rather than directly invoking a DB call. This will be
applied when the quote is saved.
This mixes in support for non-terminating nulls. It would have been
nice to handle that in a separate commit for clarity, but the
refactoring came as a consequence of trying to provide a working
implementation.
Various inconsistencies and subtle bugs in unlikely situations have
been fixed by this, including modifying objects passed as arguments to
various methods, and inconsistent handling of diff data.
Changes are more consistently recognized. Perhaps the most noticeable
consequence is that moving between steps no longer prompts to discard
changes---previously calculated values would trigger the dirty flag on
steps even if the user didn't actually change anything. I (and
others) have wanted this fixed for many years.
This is a very dense commit that touches a core part of the
system. Hopefully the Changelog below helps.
* src/bucket/Bucket.js
(setValues): [BC-BREAK] Remove parameters `merge_index' and
`merge_null' parameters.
* src/bucket/DelayedStagingBucket.js
(setValues): [BC-BREAK] Remove `merge_index' and `merge_null
parameters. Remove distinction between `merge_index' and non-.
* src/bucket/QuoteDataBucket.js
(setValues): [BC-BREAK] Remove `merge_index' and `merge_null
parameters. Remove respective arguments from `_mergeData' call.
(_mergeData): Remove same parameters. Remove handling of
`merge_index' and `merge_null'.
(overwriteValues): Append `null' to each vector.
* src/bucket/StagingBucket.js
(_initState): Use `Object.create' instead of explicit prototype
instantiation (functionally equivalent).
(merge): Minor comment correction.
(_hasChanged): Rename to `_parseChanges'.
(_parseChanges): Rename from `_hasChanged'. Remove `merge_index'
parameter. Generate new object rather than mutation original
data (prevent dangerous and subtle bugs from side-effects). Clone
each vector rather than modifying/referencing directly (this was
previously done during merge). Remove `merge_index'
distinction. Handle non-terminating `null' values.
(setValues): [BC-BREAK] Remove `merge_index' and `merge_null'
parameters. Use new object generated by `_parseChanges'. Remove
cloning of each vector (`_parseChanges' now does that). Remove
`merge_index' distinction.
(overwriteValues): Remove argument to `setValues' call.
(getFilledDiff): [BC-BREAK] Use `_staged' rather than `_curdata'.
(commit): Remove second and third arguments of call to `setValues'
of underlying bucket.
* src/client/Client.js
(_initStepUi): Remove second argument of calls to quote `setData'.
* src/client/quote/ClientQuote.js
(setData): [BC-BREAK] Remove `merge_nulls' parameter. Remove second
and third arguments of call to staging bucket `setValues'. Add
comment indicating a long-standing problem with committing the
staging bucket contents before save has succeeded.
* src/server/request/DataProcessor.js
(processDiff): Remove `permit_null' argument of `sanitizeDiff'
call.
(sanitizeDiff): Remove `permit_null' parameter. Hard-code filter
call's `permit_null' argument to `true'.
(_determineDapiFields): Properly handle `null's (ignore) rather than
inadvertently converting them into the string "null".
* test/bucket/StagingBucketTest.js: Modify test cases
accordingly. Add tests to verify that updates and diffs operate
as expected, especially support for non-terminating `null's.
(createStubBucket): Use `QuoteDataBucket'. Ideally remove this
coupling in the future, but this is a more realistic test case for
the time being.
* test/server/request/DataProcessorTest.js: Update test to account for
hard-coded `given_null' argument.
I'm not sure if this has ever caused real problems, but this was
dangerous.
* src/server/service/RatingService.js (_performRating): Store cleaned
rating data in separate variable to ensure cleaned data are not
saved in place of the actual complete response.
This is needed since whatever we publish may not generate the proper
options for node. Especially since we're on an ancient version.
* package.json.in (scripts)[postinstall]: Add `./configure' call.
This represents a portion of the refactoring that I had intended to do
until I realized that there was a simpler solution to the problem that
we were having (having proguic add stored calculated values to the
defaults object).
So ideally we'll continue extracting all quote init code out of
`Server' and into `ProgramInit' in the future.
* doc/server.texi (Liza Server): Mention `ProgramInit'.
* src/program/ProgramInit.js: Add class.
* src/server/DocumentServer.js: Use it.
* src/server/Server.js (_progInit): Add private field.
(__construct): Accept ProgramInit instance and assign to field.
(initQuote): Use promise returned by `_getDefaultBucket'.
(_getDefaultBucket): Proxy to `ProgramInit#init', which returns a
promise.
This was a bit involved because the system had to be made async all
the way up the stack. No attempt was made to clean up the mess up the
stack---no time.
* src/dapi/DataApiFactory.js
(fromType): [BC BREAK] Fix docblock. Add `api_name' param. Call
`#descLookup' and return promise.
(descLookup): Add method. Return promise resolving to provided
descriptor. Intended to be overridden by subtype.
* src/dapi/DataApiManager.js
(_dataApis): Update docblock to indicate that it now stores
promises.
(getApiData): Expect promise for `DataApiFactory#fromType' call.
* src/server/DocumentServer.js: (create): [BC BREAK] Accept
configuration. Look up dapi conf and pass to
`ServerDataApiFactory' ctor. Return promise.
* src/server/daemon/Daemon.js (_initRouters): Provide configuration.
* src/server/daemon/controller.js
(init): Accept configuration. Handle return of promise from
`_createDocumentServer'.
(_createDocumentServer): Accept configuration, providing to
`DocumentServer#create'. Because of aforementioned change to
`#create', returns promise.
* src/server/request/ServerDataApiFactory.js: Add StoreMissError
import.
(_conf): Add property.
(constructor): [BC BREAK] Accept configuration.
(descLookup): Add override. Look up configuration for provided
dapi.
This is based (very) loosely on an internal script to start the
daemon. It accepts a configuration and starts the daemon.
To accommodate the configuration, a number of miscellaneous changes
have been made.
The vanilla configuration shows the concept, but it has not yet been
fully implemented; that'll likely happen at a later date. Until then,
the existing environment-variable-based configuration will be used.
* bin/server.js: Add file.
* conf/vanilla-server.json: Example configuration added.
* src/server/daemon/Daemon.js (_httpPort): Remove field.
(_conf): Add field.
(__construct): [BC BREAK] Accept conf instead of port and log
priority. Move initialization code into `start'.
(start): [BC BREAK] Initialization code moved here. Now returns
promise for entire daemon, which will error in the event of an
error starting. Move existing code into `_startDaemon'.
(_startDaemon): Old `start' code. Invoked after `start'
initialization.
(_createDebugLog, _createAccessLog): Use configuration. Return
promise.
(_initHttpServer): Use configuration.
(_httpError): Add function to output error and exit. Extracted from
`_initHttpServer'.
* src/server/daemon/scripts.js: [BC BREAK] Append "program/" to
`LV_LEGACY_PATH' so that it can be re-used for script lookups
rather than using the cwd. This removes the need of the cwd being
the legacy src path.
This will make life much easier and less verbose, especially
considering the verbosity of promises.
* src/store/DelimitedKey.js: Add trait.
* test/store/DelimitedKeyTest.js: Add test case.
