Raw Normal View History

fix(drafts): Various improvements and fixes to drafts, draft state management Summary: This diff contains a few major changes: 1. Scribe is no longer used for the text editor. It's just a plain contenteditable region. The toolbar items (bold, italic, underline) still work. Scribe was causing React inconcistency issues in the following scenario: - View thread with draft, edit draft - Move to another thread - Move back to thread with draft - Move to another thread. Notice that one or more messages from thread with draft are still there. There may be a way to fix this, but I tried for hours and there are Github Issues open on it's repository asking for React compatibility, so it may be fixed soon. For now contenteditable is working great. 2. Action.saveDraft() is no longer debounced in the DraftStore. Instead, firing that action causes the save to happen immediately, and the DraftStoreProxy has a new "DraftChangeSet" class which is responsbile for batching saves as the user interacts with the ComposerView. There are a couple big wins here: - In the future, we may want to be able to call Action.saveDraft() in other situations and it should behave like a normal action. We may also want to expose the DraftStoreProxy as an easy way of backing interactive draft UI. - Previously, when you added a contact to To/CC/BCC, this happened: <input> -> Action.saveDraft -> (delay!!) -> Database -> DraftStore -> DraftStoreProxy -> View Updates Increasing the delay to something reasonable like 200msec meant there was 200msec of lag before you saw the new view state. To fix this, I created a new class called DraftChangeSet which is responsible for accumulating changes as they're made and firing Action.saveDraft. "Adding" a change to the change set also causes the Draft provided by the DraftStoreProxy to change immediately (the changes are a temporary layer on top of the database object). This means no delay while changes are being applied. There's a better explanation in the source! This diff includes a few minor fixes as well: 1. Draft.state is gone—use Message.object = draft instead 2. String model attributes should never be null 3. Pre-send checks that can cancel draft send 4. Put the entire curl history and task queue into feedback reports 5. Cache localIds for extra speed 6. Move us up to latest React Test Plan: No new tests - once we lock down this new design I'll write tests for the DraftChangeSet Reviewers: evan Reviewed By: evan Differential Revision: https://review.inboxapp.com/D1125

# Writing specs
Atom uses [Jasmine](http://jasmine.github.io/1.3/introduction.html) as its spec framework. Any new functionality should have specs to guard against regressions.
## Create a new spec
[Atom specs](https://github.com/atom/atom/tree/master/spec) and [package specs](https://github.com/atom/markdown-preview/tree/master/spec) are added to their respective `spec` directory. The example below creates a spec for Atom core.
0. Create a spec file
Spec files **must** end with `-spec` so add `sample-spec.coffee` to `atom/spec`.
0. Add one or more `describe` methods
The `describe` method takes two arguments, a description and a function. If the description explains a behavior it typically begins with `when`; if it is more like a unit test it begins with the method name.
```coffee
describe "when a test is written", ->
# contents
```
or
```coffee
describe "Editor::moveUp", ->
# contents
```
0. Add one or more `it` method
The `it` method also takes two arguments, a description and a function. Try and make the description flow with the `it` method. For example, a description of `this should work` doesn't read well as `it this should work`. But a description of `should work` sounds great as `it should work`.
```coffee
describe "when a test is written", ->
it "has some expectations that should pass", ->
# Expectations
```
0. Add one or more expectations
The best way to learn about expectations is to read the [jasmine documentation](http://jasmine.github.io/1.3/introduction.html#section-Expectations) about them. Below is a simple example.
```coffee
describe "when a test is written", ->
it "has some expectations that should pass", ->
expect("apples").toEqual("apples")
expect("oranges").not.toEqual("apples")
```
## Asynchronous specs
Writing Asynchronous specs can be tricky at first. Some examples.
0. Promises
Working with promises is rather easy in Atom. You can use our `waitsForPromise` function.
```coffee
describe "when we open a file", ->
it "should be opened in an editor", ->
waitsForPromise ->
atom.workspace.open('c.coffee').then (editor) ->
expect(editor.getPath()).toContain 'c.coffee'
```
This method can be used in the `describe`, `it`, `beforeEach` and `afterEach` functions.
```coffee
describe "when we open a file", ->
beforeEach ->
waitsForPromise ->
atom.workspace.open 'c.coffee'
it "should be opened in an editor", ->
expect(atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor().getPath()).toContain 'c.coffee'
```
If you need to wait for multiple promises use a new `waitsForPromise` function for each promise. (Caution: Without `beforeEach` this example will fail!)
```coffee
describe "waiting for the packages to load", ->
beforeEach ->
waitsForPromise ->
atom.workspace.open('sample.js')
waitsForPromise ->
atom.packages.activatePackage('tabs')
waitsForPromise ->
atom.packages.activatePackage('tree-view')
it 'should have waited long enough', ->
expect(atom.packages.isPackageActive('tabs')).toBe true
expect(atom.packages.isPackageActive('tree-view')).toBe true
```
0. Asynchronous functions with callbacks
Specs for asynchronous functions can be done using the `waitsFor` and `runs` functions. A simple example.
```coffee
describe "fs.readdir(path, cb)", ->
it "is async", ->
spy = jasmine.createSpy('fs.readdirSpy')
fs.readdir('/tmp/example', spy)
waitsFor ->
spy.callCount > 0
runs ->
exp = [null, ['example.coffee']]
expect(spy.mostRecentCall.args).toEqual exp
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(null, ['example.coffee'])
```
For a more detailed documentation on asynchronous tests please visit the [jasmine documentation](http://jasmine.github.io/1.3/introduction.html#section-Asynchronous_Support).
## Running specs
Most of the time you'll want to run specs by triggering the `window:run-package-specs` command. This command is not only to run package specs, it is also for Atom core specs. This will run all the specs in the current project's spec directory. If you want to run the Atom core specs and **all** the default package specs trigger the `window:run-all-specs` command.
To run a limited subset of specs use the `fdescribe` or `fit` methods. You can use those to focus a single spec or several specs. In the example above, focusing an individual spec looks like this:
```coffee
describe "when a test is written", ->
fit "has some expectations that should pass", ->
expect("apples").toEqual("apples")
expect("oranges").not.toEqual("apples")
```
### Running on CI
It is now easy to run the specs in a CI environment like Travis and AppVeyor. See the
[Travis CI For Your Packages](http://blog.atom.io/2014/04/25/ci-for-your-packages.html)
and [AppVeyor CI For Your Packages](http://blog.atom.io/2014/07/28/windows-ci-for-your-packages.html)
posts for more details.
