Use zoteroproxycheck.s3.amazonaws.com of s3.amazonaws.com, both for
clarity and because the latter redirects, which makes it hard to test in
a browser after an SSL cert error.
When the associated-files pref is enabled, Add Item by Identifier uses a
Zotero Unpaywall mirror to find available open-access PDFs. No details
about the contents of searches are logged.
Shows a prompt once per restart or once per day, whichever is longer,
with an option to not show again for a month. Can be disabled completely
by setting extensions.zotero.showConnectorVersionWarning to false.
Currently prompts for connector versions below 5.0.35.
This is a temporary solution for #1489 until the connector checks and
warns on its own when it's outdated and most people are on a version
that does that (particularly Safari users, who don't auto-upgrade).
Immediate sync triggering on remote library change using WebSocket API.
Currently kicks off a normal sync process for the modified library --
actual object data isn't pushed.
(This might not stay enabled for 5.0 Final.)
- Use $HOME/Zotero if zotero.sqlite exists, and set it as a custom data
directory so that 4.0 uses it if loaded (resulting in a
newer-db-version error instead of an empty database)
- Don't prompt whether to use data directory from the other version's
profile directory (i.e., Firefox or Standalone) -- just do it
Fixes the incompatible-version dialog and adds info on the version used
to upgrade the database, which may be helpful for troubleshooting.
Also fixes showing of the Zotero toolbar icons even in case of a startup
error.
There's a lot more to do, and this isn't ready for actual usage, but the
basic functionality is mostly in place and has decent test coverage. It
can successfully upgrade a library last used with classic syncing and
pull down changes via the API. Uploading mostly works but is currently
disabled for safety until it has better test coverage.
Downloaded JSON is first saved to a cache table, which is then used to
populate other tables and later for generating PATCH requests and
automatically resolving conflicts (since it shows what was changed
locally and what was changed remotely). Objects with unmet dependencies
or unknown fields are skipped for now but don't block the rest of the
sync.
Some of the bigger remaining to-dos:
- Tests for uploading
- Re-do the preferences to get an API key
- File sync integration
- Full-text syncing integration
- Manual conflict resolution (though this already includes much smarter
conflict handling that automatically resolves many conflicts)
The test runner now downloads and caches the PDF tools for the current
platform within the test data directory and only redownloads them when
out of date, and it updates the download URL so that the full-text code
pulls from the cache directory via a file:// URL.
The installPDFTools() support function now installs the files directly
instead of going through the prefs, and a new uninstallPDFTools()
function removes the tools. Since the presence of the PDF tools can
affect other tests, tests that need the tools should install them in a
before() and uninstall them in an after(), leaving most tests to run
without PDF indexing.
This also adds a callback to the waitForWindow() support function. If a
modal dialog is opened, it blocks the next promise handler from running,
so a callback has to be used to interact with and close the dialog
immediately.
