The default items cause problems with conflict resolution for existing
users (and not syncing them or ignoring conflicts for them is kind of
weird), and they require remote changes for new databases. I do like
there not being a completely empty library, but I think it's probably
better just to display a virtual welcome message with a link to the
Quick Start Guide somewhere else, such as in the right-hand pane. (A new
installation also opens the start page on zotero.org.)
- Simplified schema
- Tags are now added without reloading entire tag selector
- On my system, adding 400 tags to an item (separately, with the tag
selector updating each time) went from 59 seconds to 42. (Given that
it takes only 13 seconds with the tag selector closed, though,
there's clearly more work to be done.)
- Tag selector now uses HTML flexbox (in identical fashion, for now, but
with the possibility of fancier changes later, and with streamlined
logic thanks to the flexbox 'order' property)
- Various async fixes
- Tests
Still need to make the progress indicator work again. Also there may be
some performance to be gained by pooling item saves into a transaction
if one is already open.
Restore prepopulated charset table, but this time with just the
encodings from the WHATWG Encoding Standard. Assigning a charset to
Zotero.Item::attachmentCharset runs the value through
Zotero.CharacterSets.toCanonical() automatically.
This migrates attachment charsets to the new canonical values, clearing any
that are unsupported.
Other legacy mappings could still be added back, as disussed in #760.
This uses ISO 8601 dates for generateAllTypesAndFieldsData (and
changes populateDBWithSampleData to use Item#fromJSON), and makes
translators expect ISO 8601 accessDates, although SQL accessDates are
still supported with a deprecation warning. Canonicalization happens in
Zotero.Translate, so I need to remember to update connectors as well.
And add group.fromJSON(json, userID), which sets editable and
filesEditable properties based on the group JSON (libraryReading, role
lists, etc.) and the given user
Also adds Zotero.DataObjects::getLoaded(), which returns an array of all
loaded objects of the given type. This is useful for selective
reloading, for example with item.reload(['relations'], true).
Waits for an alert or confirmation dialog to open and closes it
automatically, optionally after running onOpen(dialog) to check its
contents (e.g., with dialog.document.documentElement.textContent) and
optionally clicking a button other than 'accept' (e.g., 'cancel',
extra1').
Supports delayed accept buttons
In particular, 0 is kept as a value, and passing undefined to setField
now throws an error.
I'm not sure if we actually want to return an empty string in all cases
for missing/invalid fields, but that's what we do currently.
And simplify tree view load event handling, which may or may not have
been contributing to intermittent test failures, but is cleaner this way
regardless.
Relations are now properties of collections and items rather than
first-class objects, stored in separate collectionRelations and
itemRelations tables with ids for subjects, with foreign keys to the
associated data objects.
Related items now use dc:relation relations rather than a separate table
(among other reasons, because API syncing won't necessarily sync both
items at the same time, so they can't be stored by id).
The UI assigns related-item relations bidirectionally, and checks for
related-item and linked-object relations are done unidirectionally by
default.
dc:isReplacedBy is now dc:replaces, so that the subject is an existing
object, and the predicate is now named
Zotero.Attachments.replacedItemPredicate.
Some additional work is still needed, notably around following
replaced-item relations, and migration needs to be tested more fully,
but this seems to mostly work.
getGroup() can be used to access a default group library for general
group tests. createGroup() can be used to create one for a particular
test or set of tests.
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.
These previously returned an itemID, but now that new saved items can be edited
without a refetch, they should just return the new item.
(Possible I missed a few spots where these are called.)
allTypesAndFields: Direct serialization of all valid fields for all valid item types
citeProcJSExport: All item types and fields as sent to citeproc-js
itemJSON: Zotero.Item::toJSON serialization of all item types and fields
translatorExport: items as presented to export translators after 4.0.27
translatorExportLegacy: items as presented to export translators before 4.0.27
(does not cover relations, collections, tags, attachments)
Add functions to generate sample data for various formats
* Zotero Web API JSON (Zotero.Item::toJSON)
* CiteProc-JS JSON
* Export translator JSON
* Direct serialization of Zotero.Item fields
Add a way to load sample data into DB from JSON
Add tests for loading sample data into DB
Add tests for automatically generated data
This will help us make sure that field mappings and data formats don't change
* Enable legacy mode for export translators compatible with pre-4.0.27:
* Add compatibility mappings, so that current translators don't break if they specify minVersion lower than 4.0.27. This does introduce non-compatible changes, specifically, "version" field in legacy mode is "versionNumber" in the new format. "version" in the new format corresponds to the "version" as specified for Zotero API JSON format. New translators should expect Zotero web API JSON format and should specify minVersion 4.0.27.
* Update CSL mappings to comply with new itemToExportFormat
* CSL JSON export translator needs to be updated to be compatible with 4.0.27 to export correct CSL JSON
* Use item URI for id in CSL JSON instead of item ID
* Fix note and attachment handling in itemToCSLJSON
Get rid of data_access.js, at long last. Existing calls to
Zotero.getCollections() will need to be replaced with
Zotero.Collections.getByLibrary() or .getByParent().
Also removes Zotero.Collection::getCollections(), which is redundant
with Zotero.Collections.getByLibrary(), and Zotero.Collections.add().
The latter didn't didn't include a libraryID anyway, so code might as
well just use 'new Zotero.Collection' instead.
Change all attachment functions to take parameter objects, including a
'collections' property to assign collections. (Previously, calling code
assigned collections separately, which required a nested transaction,
which is no longer possible.)
Fixes#723, Can't attach files by dragging
Wait for the pane's collectionSelected() to finish before returning from
collectionTreeView select methods (e.g., selectLibrary()), and wait for
previous items view to finish loading before creating a new one in
collectionSelected(). This ensures that the items view has been created (though
not loaded) before returning from a select. The tree can still get a bit
confused switching between collections, but I think we're getting closer to
fixing that.
Also switch the items tree to use the same pattern.
This also fixes dragging items to collections (#731).
- Moved ::_get() and _set() from Collection/Search into DataObject, and
disabled in Item
- Don't disable new items after save. We now put new objects into the
DataObjects cache from save() so that changes made post-save are
picked up by other code using .get().
- Added 'skipCache' save() option to avoid reloading data on new objects
and adding them to the cache. (This will be used in syncing, where
objects might be in another library where they're not needed right
away.) Objects created with this option are instead disabled to
prevent reuse.
- Modified some tests to try to make sure we're reloading everything properly
after a save.
- Documented save() options
- Fixes some saving and erasing issues with collections and searches
- Adds Zotero.DataObject::eraseTx() to automatically start transaction,
and have .erase() log a warning like .save()
- Adds createUnsavedDataObject() and createDataObject() helper functions
for tests
It takes <1.5 seconds on my system, but it's taking over 30 seconds on
Travis. Might not be worth running it there, since almost anything that
would cause that to fail would cause the initialization to fail in the
first place.
Replace Z.DataObjects::diff() with Z.DataObjectUtilities.diff(). Instead
of just returning two objects with the differing fields, the new diff()
generates a changeset with operations to apply with applyChanges(),
including at the array member level for collections and tags. This,
combined with cached pristine copies of objects, will allow for vastly
better conflict resolution, with automatic merging of non-conflicting
changes.
Creators currently don't show granular changes, and ordering might make
it too tough to do so. Relations diffing isn't yet implemented.
Also:
- Make .mode == 'patch' optional if .patchBase is provided.
- Remove requirement for item to be unchanged, which hopefully wasn't there for
a good reason
- Add a few tests, though more are needed
Store and check the last selected items in ZoteroPane.itemSelected() to
see if it's necessary to refresh the item pane. This prevents loss of
textbox focus if another write occurs while editing a field.
Also optimize row adding/removing in itemTreeView.js
Fix a couple cases of lost text field focus after an edit, including
focusing of the Title field after using New Item when a field is already
being edited and has a changed value.
Also, in tests, select My Library and wait for items to load when using
the loadZoteroPane() support function. We could add a parameter to skip
that or move it to a separate function, but the code to detect it is a
bit convoluted and it's a prerequisite for many tests, so it's handy to
have a function for it.
- Add an 'exclusive' option to transactions that causes them to block other
transactions and wait for other transactions to finish before starting,
instead of nesting
- Resolve Zotero.DB.waitForTransaction() promise before returning from
executeTransaction()
- A side effect of the above: wait for a newly created item to be selected in
the middle pane and rendered in the right-hand pane before returning from
executeTransaction()
- Don't save items multiple times when adding/removing a non-final creator in
the Info pane
- Use a simpler, non-recursive method for focusing the next field in the Info
pane; this prevents "too much recursion" errors if something causes the
right-hand pane not to be rendered when expected
This fixes an issue where two transactions started around the same time
could run separately instead of nesting, causing the statements from one
to end up running not within a transaction
And use 'version' instead of 'itemVersion' for object version for items
Also add deferred foreign key checking to system.sql so that DROP TABLE
commands don't fail mid-transaction
Search condition ids are now indexed from 0, and always saved
contiguously (no more 'fixGaps' option), since they're just in an array
in the API. (They're still returned as an object from
Zotero.Search.prototype.getConditions() because it's easier for the
advanced search window to not have to deal with shifting ids between
saves.)
Also:
- Return an object from `Zotero.Search.prototype.getConditions()`
instead of an array.
- Add support function `getPromiseError(promise)` to return the error
thrown from a chain of promises, or false if none. (We could make an
`assert.throwsAsync()`, but this allows testing of various properties
such as `.name`, which even the built-in `assert.throws()` can't
test.)
- Clarify some search save errors
Also some support code that was useful here and will probably be
useful for other tests. This is a pretty complicated thing to test, but
it seems to work.
Implements the beginnings of unit testing infrastructure using
mocha/chai. The unit tests can be run locally using test/runtests.sh,
although this will need tweaks to run on Windows. They should also run
on commit using Travis-CI.
The unit tests themselves live in test/tests. The index.js file
specifies separate test sets, which can be run individually by calling
test/runtests.sh <testsets>. Right now there is only a single unit
test, but hopefully we'll have more soon...
