* Easier monitoring of preference changes
* Takes a preference name and a handler function that will be passed the new value of the preference
* Unregister observer via Zotero.Prefs.unregisterObserver with the same parameters
.save calls ._initSave(), _saveData(), _finalizeSave() internally passing `env` object to each to act as an environment for passing around variables
* _initSave should determine if the save is possible and return a promise for either `true` or `false`. It should also set up the environment, e.g. determine if this `isNew`
* _saveData performs the actual saving to the database, but should not do any terminal steps in the save process so that any extending classes could extend this method to write additional data to the database
* _finalizeSave should perform any finalization before the data is committed to the database.
_recoverFromSaveError is called with `env` and an error that occurred. This method should perform any recovery steps, e.g. discarding the save and reloading the item from the database into the cache.
checkIsOnline isn't called before the connector gets used except in IE.
The mixed content blocker in modern IE combined with the https
redirect breaks communication with ZSA on all pages anyway, so we may
just want to give up on making the bookmarklet talk to ZSA.
This belongs to issue #509 and was asked several times in the forum.
* Add attribute `collapse="after"` to the splitter and add a grippy element.
* To remember its state after restart I copied `zotero-persist="state"`.
* Handle zotero-items-splitter the same as zotero-collections-splitter in zotero-platform/mac/overlay.css
* Change min-width to 250px for #zotero-item-pane in zotero/overlay.css.
* Update the function `updateToolbarPosition` in zotero/zoteroPane.js:
* The width of the items-toolbar is corrected if the left pane is collapsed (and the icons are grouped on the left margin together).
* If the right pane is collapsed, then the items-toolbar is made flexible while making the item-toolbar unflexible. As a result the search box and locate icon are flushed right to the other icons.
Generated files for a more robust attached-link-dialog and localized strings
* AttachLink.js
* AttachLink.xul
zotero/xpcom/attachments.js
* created function cleanAttachmentURI
* in function linkFromURL, removed the regex constraints and the comment list of valid protocols
* removed outdated function declaration from beginning of script
* Improved automatic title generation mechanism
* Remove splitter
* Add explanation of how Zotero Preview pane works
* Limit filtering to citation format
Also add support for “citation-format” attribute of CSL 1.0
* Remove redundant warning
(already happens on this.refresh)
* Use "items" instead of "references"
* Clean up HTML a little
* Fix some JSHint warnings
Passing sandboxes between translators became difficult. This change
loads all translators in the same sandbox, using the same ugly hack as
in the connectors to get us close enough to being able to load
translators into separate scopes for things to work.
Conflicts:
chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/translation/translate.js
And in the default mode, use the whole string up through 'and' or 'et al.'
before falling back to full creator sorting, which could speed things up
slightly.
This includes storing values into DB and performing searches. Note that export/display of existing data is not normalized. We can try to capture all access points to the database and normalize on output, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary normalization happening all the time. Would probably be best to just normalize existing data.
With Hola enabled, uploads were failing with NS_BASE_STREAM CLOSED -- it
seems to do something that causes the stream to be read more than once.
Adding REOPEN_ON_REWIND fixes this.
* getDomDocument: returns a detached DOMDocument object
* dom2text (TODO): Currently just returns Node.textContent, but is intended to return Zotero-formatted string based on text formatting in the DOM and the Zotero.Item field that the text is meant for
This simply means that detection code will be run first.
Attempting this with Export translators will fail, because trying to detect a translator does not make sense in this case.
I understood the path limit to mean >260, but a user is seeing the error
with a 260-character path [1], so let's try this.

Yosemite introduces a new search textbox shape, but Firefox still uses
the old focus ring shape until 34, so we fake the old searchbox shape
for earlier versions.
Our strategy: put arguments into a property of the function, and then
get them out unwrapped. This avoids security checks on arguments passed
to the function.
It's way too slow, though, since the whole list is regenerated after
merging.
Fixes#519
Also:
- The arguments to Zotero.Item.prototype.clone() have changed, and it no
longer takes an existing item or copies primary data. To create an
in-memory copy of an item, use the new Zotero.Item.prototype.copy().
- Zotero.Item.prototype.getUsedFields() now gets in-memory fields rather
than the fields in the database
Our modifications no longer include a custom yield handler to
automatically call all() on yielded arrays (which maintained Bluebird
1.x behavior). It's now necessary to call all() or similar explicitly.
Also fixed a few incorrect yields hidden by that behavior.
The state check errors were caused by 4812ab6f, which was a fix for
"Q.async(...)(...) is undefined" errors caused by ad8b81f4c, which was a
fix for "too much recursion" errors related to Task.spawn() on Windows
with JIT enabled.
This will hopefully fix some remaining issues with long filenames during
syncing, particularly on Linux with encrypted filenames (which have a
filename length of 143).
(This may have reintroduced some edge case bugs, so it needs some
testing.)
Previously, 'collection' and 'savedSearch' conditions used
"[libraryID]_[key]" format. Now, the condition should contain only a
key, and the libraryID will be drawn from either the search itself or a
libraryID search condition. Old-style conditions are still parsed if
provided.
- Protocol handler extensions can now handle promises and can also make
data available as it's ready instead of all at once (e.g., reports now
output one entry at a time)
- zotero:// URL syntaxes are now more consistent and closer to the web
API (old URLs should work, but some may currently be broken)
Also:
- Code to generate server API, currently available for testing via
zotero://data URLs but eventually moving to HTTP -- zotero://data URLs match
web API URLs, with a different prefix for the personal library (/library vs.
/users/12345)
- Miscellaneous fixes to data objects
Under the hood:
- Extensions now return an AsyncChannel, which is an nsIChannel implementation
that takes a promise-yielding generator that returns a string,
nsIAsyncInputStream, or file that will be used for the channel's data
- New function Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getAsyncInputStream() takes a
generator that yields either promises or strings and returns an async input
stream filled with the yielded strings
- Zotero.Router parsers URLs and extract parameters
- Zotero.Item.toResponseJSON()
And remove UDF setup code
Duplicates view also used REGEXP, so we'll need to figure out another approach
for the async rewrite of that (#519). There are no other current UDF consumers,
so this closes#528.
And catch other errors and throw StopIteration so that they stop the
search. (Non-StopIteration errors in onRow don't stop Sqlite.jsm
queries. We were logging them but then re-throwing them, which didn't do
anything.)
This required doing additional caching at startup (e.g., item types and fields)
so that various methods can remain synchronous.
This lets us switch back to using the current Sqlite.jsm. Previously we were
bundling the Fx24 version, which avoided freezes with locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE
with both sync and async queries.
Known broken things:
- Autocomplete
- Database backup
- UDFs (e.g., REGEXP function used in Zotero.DB.getNextName())
- Zotero.Item.prototype.getFilePath() is now synchronous, with a separate async getFilePathAsync()
- getFile() no longer takes a skipExistsCheck parameter, since that shouldn't happen synchronously
- Zotero.Items.getByLibraryAndKey() is now synchronous again, with a
separate Zotero.Items.getByLibraryAndKeyAsync() - I haven't fully
tested this, so I'm not sure if there will need to be any async
calls.
- Some of the full-text indexing functions now take file paths instead of nsIFile objects
- Zotero.File.getContentsAsync() can now take a string path as well
Promise-based rewrite of most of the codebase, with asynchronous database and file access -- see https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/518 for details.
WARNING: This includes backwards-incompatible schema changes.
An incomplete list of other changes:
- Schema overhaul
- Replace main tables with new versions with updated schema
- Enable real foreign key support and remove previous triggers
- Don't use NULLs for local libraryID, which broke the UNIQUE index
preventing object key duplication. All code (Zotero and third-party)
using NULL for the local library will need to be updated to use 0
instead (already done for Zotero code)
- Add 'compatibility' DB version that can be incremented manually to break DB
compatibility with previous versions. 'userdata' upgrades will no longer
automatically break compatibility.
- Demote creators and tags from first-class objects to item properties
- New API syncing properties
- 'synced'/'version' properties to data objects
- 'etag' to groups
- 'version' to libraries
- Create Zotero.DataObject that other objects inherit from
- Consolidate data object loading into Zotero.DataObjects
- Change object reloading so that only the loaded and changed parts of objects are reloaded, instead of reloading all data from the database (with some exceptions, including item primary data)
- Items and collections now have .parentItem and .parentKey properties, replacing item.getSource() and item.getSourceKey()
- New function Zotero.serial(fn), to wrap an async function such that all calls are run serially
- New function Zotero.Utilities.Internal.forEachChunkAsync(arr, chunkSize, func)
- Add tag selector loading message
- Various API and name changes, since everything was breaking anyway
Known broken things:
- Syncing (will be completely rewritten for API syncing)
- Translation architecture (needs promise-based rewrite)
- Duplicates view
- DB integrity check (from schema changes)
- Dragging (may be difficult to fix)
Lots of other big and little things are certainly broken, particularly with the UI, which can be affected by async code in all sorts of subtle ways.
* Accept detailed cookie information (including host, path, secureOnly, and hostOnly) from connectors so we can send correct cookies when fetching pages from different hosts. This way we also don't have to worry about exposing cookies to different hosts.
* Don't drop cookies that we receive from other hosts. Some pages (e.g. PDF URLs) result in redirects to other hosts (and even domains) that then set cookies, which are required to retrieve the PDF. (e.g. Cell Press stores PDFs on ScienceDirect, but their PDF links initially point to cell.com).
* Send detailed cookies where possible. Currently that's only for Chrome/Opera and Firefox in Connector mode. Does not seem to be possible in Safari.
Possibly to other places as well (but not Notepad, which doesn't work
from Firefox or Chrome either)
Unfortunately this requires going back to 'copy' cursor feedback when
dragging, even when Shift is used. We can only choose one on Windows (as
far as I can tell), and we were previously using the unadorned 'move'.
nsICollation broke for some locales. (Testing requires changing the
language setting in Language & Region and then restarting the computer.
The change seems to not fully go into effect until then, even though the
UI changes.) This is fixed in Nightly, but we can work around it by
using the new Intl.Collator.
With Task.spawn, regular expressions in Zotero.DB were causing "too much
recursion" errors on Windows with JIT enabled.
This requires a change to Q to allow async() to take a generator instead
of a generator-maker (which is the reason it was using Task.spawn to
begin with).
S3 upload timeouts were retried already with an exponential backoff, but
this adds retrying for other kinds of upload failures as well as failed
downloads. If 5 consecutive failures occur a file sync error is
thrown.
Failed file sync requests to the Zotero API are not currently retried,
but S3 accounts for the majority.
The download portion of this still needs further testing.
When starting in Connector mode (i.e. Standalone is open), Zotero first starts in Full mode, looks for Standalone, then "shuts down" and restarts in Connector mode. `Zotero.shutdown()` returns a promise which is then followed up by a `Zotero.init` call. Thus, when starting in Connector mode, Zotero initialization is asynchronous and makes it possible for `Zotero_Browser.init()` to be called before `Zotero.initialized` is true, which prevents `Zotero_Browser` from initializing. Additionally, even if `Zotero_Browser.init()` is called after Zotero is initialized in Connector mode, it is possible that `Zotero_Browser.init()` will be called _after_ the "load" event for browser.xul has already fired, so `chromeLoad` is never called. This patch ensures that both of these race conditions are taken into account.
Can be triggered by double-clicking or Return and also by F2 on
Windows/Linux
This does mean double-clicking no longer toggles the collection open and
closed. If we wanted to preserve that we could probably capture the
double-click.
Closes Trac ticket 231, only 8 years later
Previously, position/size was persisted for each item's note
individually, but that meant that there was no default position/size for
the note window and an entry was created in localstore.rdf for
every note opened in a new window. There's also a good chance people had
no idea what was going on.
- Always allow "Report Errors...", even when no errors
- Show submitted diagnostic info in report
- Use white background and unitalicized text for report
- Make window larger by default
That was easy. (@simonster, since you disabled this originally, any reason not
to do this, other than the extra tab stop? At least in current Firefox
versions, this is the default behavior.)
When opening the advanced search window, the current library is
selected, and a different library can be selected to change the search
scope. If a library is read-only, the saved search button is disabled.
For saved searches, the appropriate library is selected and the
drop-down is disabled.
Also:
- Close the advanced search window after a search is saved
- The default name for saved searches ("Untitled 2", etc.) was based on
collections rather than searches
- Once an initial search has been performed, the drop-downs and
checkboxes now update the results
- More consistent spacing in advanced search window
- (dev) Zotero.DB.getNextName() now takes a libraryID as its first
parameter instead of always using My Library; the old parameters are
deprecated but still work
