Prior to this change, a single generic message was always shown simply
stating that the quote had been locked. These changes now allow for
different messages to be displayed in different circumstances.
These denote fields that are generated but do not actually have any data
associated with them. For example, select options with predicates have a
field generated so that they contribute to the group field count (so that
the group will automatically show/hide appropriately), but those should
never have values associated with them in the bucket.
This was manifesting as a nasty bug: The bucket contained a key for
generated options. When the quote is loaded, the client "empties" the
bucket. In doing so, it set the option value to the empty string, which had
the effect of rendering the dropdown useless---every value was the empty
string!
* src/program/ProgramInit.js (_isKnownType): New method.
(init): Use it and ignore fields with unknown types.
* src/server/Server.js: Add note that we shouldn't have this logic
duplicated between ProgramInit and ProgramQuoteCleaner.
* src/server/quote/ProgramQuoteCleaner.js (_fixGroup): Ignore fields with
unknown types.
(_isKnownType): New method.
* test/program/ProgramInitTest.js: Update existing tests. Add new.
* test/server/quote/ProgramQuoteCleanerTest.js: Test this case.
Previously, it was just trying to serialize an object, which was useless.
* src/server/Server.js (_formatValidationFailures): New method.
(_doQuoteSave): Use it.
Requests that came in between (for example) a post request and the actual
validation of the posted data would potentially reset the flag, causing
internal assertions to fail.
* src/server/Server.js
(sendStep): Provide session to #_forwardValidate.
(_forwardValidate): Set `program.isInternal' immediately before invoking
event. Provide session to #quoteFill.
[session]: New argument.
(quoteFill): Add `session' argument. Provide session to hooks.
(loadProgram): Receive session via #quoteFill hook. Set
`program.isInternal' before submit hook.
* src/server/daemon/controller.js (doRoute): Remove `program.isInternal'
set.
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 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 is a terrible kluge, but time doesn't permit modifying the
system. All of this also touches old code that is untested, which is
difficult to modify with confidence.
* src/server/DocumentServer.js (DocumentServer#create): Use
StagingBucket.
* src/server/Server.js: Remove logic now handled by DataProcessor.
* src/server/request/DataProcessor.js (processDiff): Wrap in
StagingBucket to filter out values that do not result in changes.
* test/server/request/DataProcessorTest.js: Update failing cases.
Prefixes with "meta:".
* src/server/Server.js (initQuote): Initialze metadata to empty.
* src/server/daemon/controller.js (createQuote): Add metabucket.
* src/server/db/MongoServerDao.js (saveQuote): Add additional
documentation to docblock. Save all metadata if no bucket data
provided (which indicates a full quote save). This happens on
version change.
* src/server/rater/ProcessManager.js (_genData): Add method to merge
metadata into bucket data with "meta:" prefix.
(byId): Use merged data.
What a cluster.
This was a lot of work to work around existing, bad APIs; there is no
time to refactor at the moment; this already took much longer than
expected.
Copyright notices updated. More casual references to "LoVullo
Associates" replaced with "RT Specialty / Lovullo", which will be "RT
Specialty Buffalo" in the future. Or "RT Specialty", depending on how
this is rolled out. Or "Ryan Specialty Group". Who knows.
"R-T Specialty, LLC." is the legal name, which includes the dash. Not
to be confused with a certain television network.
I have sat on releasing a lot of this code for years because I wanted
the liza repo to be in a pristine state---tests and all---which
required a great deal of refactoring. Well, that never happened, and
time is up.
LoVullo Associates---my employer---has been purchased by another
company. This means that any agreement with LoVullo regarding
releasing free software is going to have to be re-negotiated with this
new company, and I have no idea how those negotiations will go. So,
I have no choice but to simply release everything in its current state,
or risk it being lost forever.
This represents work over the past 6--7 years, 99.9% of it written by
me. This project has been my baby for quite some time, and has been
through a number of battles with deadlines and other unfortunate
circumstances; the scars show. I also didn't really "know" JS when
starting this project. Perhaps you can help improve upon it.
There are some odds-and-ends that could be committed. And references
to insurance and LoVullo need to be removed to generalize this.
I hope that this will not be the last public commit for this project.
I'll fight the good fight and we'll see where that takes us. Maybe
it'll be easy.
Happy hacking.
