Can be an absolute path or 'profile' to use 'zotero' subdirectory of
profile directory as in earlier versions (but which won't be treated as
a legacy location eligible for migration)
Closes#1305
We were manually looking up the current locale in various places and
passing it to nsIStringBundleService::createBundle(), but that hasn't
even been a supported argument for years. (I assume it was a long time
ago?)
Previously, if a translator or style was fixed, people didn't get the
fix until their client checked the repository for updates, which could
take up to 24 hours. Now, in addition to checking once a day, we check
every time Zotero is started and also when we receive a notification
from the streaming server, which happens immediately after a translators
or style is updated on GitHub. To avoid DDoSing ourselves, the
notification includes a random delay (within a given period) before the
update is triggered by the client.
The streaming server connection is now made when either "Automatically
check for updated translators and styles" or "Sync automatically" is
enabled. It can be disabled via the extensions.zotero.streaming.enabled
pref.
* Use mocha, chai & sinon from the npm. As of sinon 2.0
sinon-as-promised is no longer required so it is removed
* Tweak code to re-use the same loader with the same environment
throghout the code
* Introduce browserify step for testing tools that only provide
node-compatible libraries (sinon, chai-as-promised)
* Introduce copy step for test data to resolve multiple issues with
tests depending on files not being symlinks
* Re-introduce custom implementation of setTimeout to resolve issues
with few tests
* Re-introduce custom Bluebird Promises config & monkey patch
Follow-up to https://github.com/zotero/zotero-standalone-build/commit/22cfe2404
The devtools must be included in the build by passing the -t flag to
build.sh in zotero-standalone-build.
After starting Zotero with the flag, connect from a Firefox instance
with remote debugging enabled by choosing "Connect…" from the Web
Developer menu and connecting to port 6100.
Since 1) debug output logging via the prefs isn't necessarily possible
for startup errors in Standalone, 2) real-time output is prohibitively
slow and has a miniscule scrollback buffer on Windows unless you use a
Cygwin or Git terminal, and 3) copying/pasting/emailing was annoying
anyway, make -ZoteroDebug open a popup window that shows errors and
debug output and allows submitting straight to the server with a Debug
ID.
This should replace the existing debug output viewer as well, but that's
less of a priority.
-ZoteroDebugText or the debug.log pref can still be used to dump to the
terminal.
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.)
This is a bit iffy, since at least on macOS the passed file seems to
come in as either -file or -url at different times, but this seems to
work on macOS and Windows. Needs further testing with a packaged version
on Windows.
Improves proxy support
- Automatically detect and dehyphenise https proxies which use EZProxy
HttpsHyphens
- Web translators now pass around Zotero.Proxy instances which can
proxify/deproxify urls passed to `translate.setLocation()` before calling
`translate.getTranslators()`/ translate.detect()`. The proxy passing is
done within connector background/injected processes and between
standalone and connectors.
- Proxy protocol unified with connectors. Connectors can now pass
proxies to `/connector/save_items`. The proxies will be used to resolve
true item and attachment urls when saving.

Look for other profiles, from both apps (Firefox and Standalone), that
point to the data directory being migrated and update prefs.js in those
profiles to point to the new location.
Also reorganize code into Zotero.Profile and Zotero.DataDirectory
namespaces
And don't skip alerts in Zotero.alert() during automated tests. (That
was intended to avoid long timeouts after unexpected failures, but,
e.g., PDF metadata lookups (which are currently disabled in automated
tests) should just be mocked so they don't intermittently fail.)
Don't start the connector pipe (Mac/Linux), don't listen for IPC on the
command-line (Windows), and don't try to release Standalone's lock if DB is
busy when Firefox starts.
- Use custom exception for user-initiated sync cancellations, which can bubble
up to the sync runner -- this should help with a sync stop button (#915)
- Separate out deletions-downloading code
- Refactor delay generator handling on library version mismatch
- Clearer variable names
.contains() was removed in Firefox 48, but .includes() wasn't available until
40, so use indexOf() for now. We can start using .contains() once we no longer
need to support 38 ESR.
