Previously, the HighlightJS library (HLJS) was being Vulcanized into the PolyGerrit build, even if the library was not being used (for example if the user does not navigate to a diff or has syntax highlighting disabled in preferences). Because HLJS is a substantial file -- ranging in size from 47KB to more than 455KB (ungizpped) depending on the build environment, this is not ideal. In order to lazy load a JS library: 1) It needs to be copied into the built WAR file to be addressable, and 2) It should not be Vulcanized into the built gr-app.js file. Previously, the PolyGerrit build system supported copying and non-vulcanizing exactly one JS library: namely webcomponents-lite.js. This change generalizes the mechanism by which webcomponents is copied and adds HLJS to that list. This satisfies **1**. Furthermore, the GR-SYNTAX-LAYER is rewritten to dynamically import HLJS in the `process` step by crafting a SCRIPT element and attaching it to the local DOM. (Syntax processing is invoked only after entire diff is rendered.) Code that depends on the library awaits this load before using it. Thus, the conventional JS import can be removed from the element's HTML and will not be recognized by the Vulcanize phase. This satisfies **2**. Tests are updated accordingly. Bug: Issue 4298 Change-Id: I9a95d6d4c211cd8f1ca1bc4daec770b64b22b3d1
PolyGerrit
Installing Node.js
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
# OS X with Homebrew
brew install node
All other platforms: download from nodejs.org.
Optional: installing go
This is only required for running the run-server.sh
script for testing. See below.
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install golang
# OS X with Homebrew
brew install go
All other platforms: download from golang.org
Add [go] to your path
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
Local UI, Production Data
To test the local UI against gerrit-review.googlesource.com:
./polygerrit-ui/run-server.sh
Then visit http://localhost:8081
Local UI, Test Data
One-time setup:
- Install Buck for building Gerrit.
- Build Gerrit and set up a local test site. Docs here and here.
When your project is set up and works using the classic UI, run a test server that serves PolyGerrit:
buck build polygerrit && \
java -jar buck-out/gen/polygerrit/polygerrit.war daemon --polygerrit-dev \
-d ../gerrit_testsite --console-log --show-stack-trace
Running Tests
One-time setup:
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install npm
# OS X with Homebrew
brew install npm
# All platforms (including those above)
sudo npm install -g web-component-tester
Run all web tests:
buck test --no-results-cache --include web
The --no-results-cache
flag prevents flaky test failures from being
cached.
If you need to pass additional arguments to wct
:
WCT_ARGS='-p --some-flag="foo bar"' buck test --no-results-cache --include web
For interactively working on a single test file, do the following:
./polygerrit-ui/run-server.sh
Then visit http://localhost:8081/elements/foo/bar_test.html
