- Just a single huge commit. This has been developed over too long a
time, required many tiny changes across too many files and has seen too
many iterations to be separated into separate commits.
The original branch with all the messy commits will be kept around for
posterity
bb220ad0f2...adomasven:feature/react-item-tree
- Replaces XUL <tree> element across the whole zotero client codebase
with a custom supermegafast virtualized-table inspired by
react-virtualized yet mimicking old XUL treeview API. The
virtualized-table sits on top on a raw-to-the-metal,
interpreted-at-runtime JS based windowing solution inspired by
react-window. React-based solutions could not be used because they were
slow and Zotero UI needs to be responsive and be able to
display thousands of rows in a treeview without any slowdowns.
- Attempts were made at making this screen-reader friendly, but yet to
be tested with something like JAWS
- RTL-friendly
- Styling and behaviour across all platforms was copied as closely as
possible to the original XUL tree
- Instead of row-based scroll snapping this has smooth-scrolling. If
you're using arrow keys to browse through the tree then it effectively
snap-scrolls. Current CSS snap scroll attributes do not seem to work in
the way we would require even on up-to-date browsers, yet alone the ESR
version of FX that Zotero is on. JS solutions are either terrible for
performance or produce inexcusable jitter.
- When dragging-and-dropping items the initial drag freezes the UI for
a fairly jarring amount of time. Does not seem to be fixable due to
the synchronous code that needs to be run in the dragstart handler.
Used to be possible to run that code async with the XUL tree.
- Item tree column picker no longer has a dedicated button. Just
right-click the columns. The column preferences (width, order, etc) are
no longer handled by XUL, which required a custom serialization and
storage solution that throws warnings in the developer console due to
the amount of data being stored. Might cause temporary freezing on HDDs
upon column resize/reorder/visibility toggling.
- Context menu handling code basically unchanged, but any UI changes
that plugins may have wanted to do (including adding new columns) will
have to be redone by them. No serious thought has gone into how plugin
developers would achieve that yet.
- Opens up the possibility for awesome alternative ways to render the
tree items, including things like multiple-row view for the item tree,
which has been requested for a long while especially by users switching
from other referencing software
- Make a copy of the database after first initialization that can be
swapped in when reinitializing in resetDB()
- Avoid unnecessary one-second delay on every reset
Probably more that can be done, but this should take minutes off the
test runs
This expands the test filtering in the test runner so that you can supply e.g.
`test/tests/feed*` from your shell in the `zotero` directory and correctly
filter to all feed-related tests.
This adds a very basic reimplementation of the annotation widget for use
in the CR window. It's not pixel-perfect, but it's close enough that
most people probably won't notice. We'll want to replace this with a
real version that's shared between the PDF reader and the rest of the
codebase.
Image annotations currently show an "[image not shown]" placeholder.
Showing images is tricky: we don't have the remote cache image, so if
the remote position has changed, we could only show an image by
rendering it from the file, and only if the file itself hasn't changed.
Just for a better user experience, we could use the local image as long
as the position and file are both the same, but that would take some
rejiggering of the CR window.
Tags aren't shown because they're not shown for CR at all, though that
could be changed in the future.
Added Zotero.DataObjects.sortByParent() to sort child items immediately
after their parent items. Zotero.DataObjects.sortByLevel(), which is
used for collections, sorts each level together, but that's less
appropriate for items where, e.g., an embedded-image attachment should
immediately follow the note that depends on it.
```
var noteContents = item.note; // was item.getNote()
var schemaVersion = item.noteSchemaVersion;
item.setNote(contents) // default to Zotero.Notes.schemaVersion
item.setNote(contents, schemaVersion) - explicit version
```
This lays the groundwork for moving collections and searches to the
trash instead of deleting them outright. We're not doing that yet, so
the `deleted` property will never be set (except for items), but this
will allow clients from this point forward to sync collections and
searches with that property for when it's used in the future. For now,
such objects will just be hidden from the collections pane as if they
had been deleted.
- Move 5xx retries and connection checking out of the sync API client
and into HTTP.request() so that they apply to all requests. 429 handling
remains in the API client, since not all callers necessarily want to
handle that the same way. Callers can still handle 5xx themselves by
including the relevant 5xx status codes in `successCodes` or by passing
`errorDelayMax: 0`.
- Add `cancellerReceiver` option, which is a callback that receives a
function that will cancel the request, whether it's an active request
or an automatic delay before a 5xx retry.
This also updates Sinon to 7.3.2.
In particular, remove code related to opening/closing the Zotero pane,
which affects tests. The pane is now opened by default in Firefox, which
brings its behavior closer to the main version.
And take an optional second parameter in waitForTagSelector() to
indicate how many updates to wait for, since certain operations trigger
two updates, one from notify() and the other from onItemViewChanged().
- Added icon-button UI code for the menubutton
- Upgrade to React 16 to allow non-standard attrs, such as `tooltiptext`
to support XUL tooltips
- Add i18n support for React UI elements
- Update tests for reactified tag selector
Applies to dragging to the collections pane or the items pane, adding
via New Item menu, or saving via the connector server
If the renaming pref is enabled, the PDF is renamed after recognition.

Closes#917
I'm not sure what this was for, but at least with an async test function
it seems to be causing spurious "the string 'x' was thrown, throw an
Error :)" messages that hide the real error.
And use them in new importTextAttachment() and importHTMLAttachment()
test support functions. These can be used to avoid needing a hidden
browser for determining the character set of the imported text
documents.
This is useful when trying to debug an error that only happens after a
number of other tests have run -- specify -e and run tests from either
an earlier file with -s or from the beginning.
* 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
