These tests don't use the browser to send emails since commit e21588ec1.
However, note that this commit actually actually decreased our test
coverage somehow; since then, we're no longer testing whether we send an
email to the author after clicking the "Publish comment" button. We
might need to add a test for this in the `spec/system/comments_spec.rb`
file... but that's a story for another time.
Note we need to stub the `deliver_later` method; otherwise,
`open_last_email` would raise an exception since no email would have
been delivered.
We're moving them now because these tests use the `open_last_email`
method, and we're looking for places where using this method might
result in a flaky test when used inside a system test.
These tests were testing mailer methods, but were inside a file for
system tests.

Note that, for everything to work consistently, we need to make sure
that the default locale is one of the available locales.
Also note that we aren't overwriting the `#save ` method set by
globalize. I didn't feel too comfortable changing a monkey-patch which
ideally shouldn't be there in the first place, I haven't found a case
where `Globalize.locale` is `nil` (since it defaults to `I18n.locale`,
which should never be `nil`), so using `I18n.default_locale` probably
doesn't affect us.
We were assigning variants in a controller, in the context of a request.
However, when sending emails, there is no request and no controller is
involved, so we also need to set the variant in the ApplicationMailer
class.
Right now this is configured using the `secrets.yml` file, which is the
file we've used in the past to configure SMTP settings.
Note that, in the `current_secrets` method, the `if default?` condition
is there so in single-tenant applications it returns the exact same
object as `Rails.application.secrets`, and it makes it immediately clear
for developers reading the code. We're also caching the tenant secrets
(using `||=`) so they behave the same way as Rails secrets; for this to
work properly 100% of the time (for example, in tests) we need to expire
these cached secrets whenever the Rails secrets change.
A similar `unless Tenant.default?` condition is present in the
ApplicationMailer because there's a chance some CONSUL installations
might not be using secrets to define the SMTP settings(they might be
using environment variables, for example) and so in this case we don't
want to force settings based on the secrets.yml file because it would
break the application.
The structure of the SMTP settings in the secrets file should be:
```
production:
tenants:
name_of_the_tenant_subdomain:
smtp_settings:
address:
(...)
```
We were duplicating the asset host and the URL host in all environments,
but we can make it so the asset host uses the URL host unless we
specifically set it.
Note that, inside the `ApplicationMailer`, the `root_url` method already
uses `default_url_options` to generate the URL.
In the rare case of CONSUL installations who have changed the asset
host, this change has no effect since they'll get a conflict in the
environment files when upgrading and they'll choose to use their own
asset host.
This task was "temporarily" removed in commit 7b6619528. Since that was
done three and a half years ago, right after the dashboard was
introduced, I think it's time to make this "temporary" measure a bit
more permanent ;).
We modified the link that previously redirected us to the "My content"
page to redirect us to the new page for managing subscriptions.
We also adapted the existing generic text by adding a description of
the related notification.
The `commentable_url` method wasn't updated when we added legislation
proposals.
Back when we first created this method, we couldn't pass budget
investments or topics directly to `polymorphic_url` because they are
nested resources. That isn't the case since commit ff93f5a59, so now we
can simplify this method.
We're keeping the `commentable_url` method for now in order to keep
compatibility with custom changes that might use it, although this
method isn't consistent with the `commentable_path` method (which
receives a comment, and not a commentable), and so we might have to
revisit this code in the future.
So tests won't fail when an institution changes the default organization
name.
The tests are also easier to understand now, since it's more obvious
where the "CONSUL" text is coming from.
This comment isn't necessary since Ruby 2.0, where UTF-8 became the
default encoding.
I've found this issue thanks to the EmptyLineAfterMagicComment rubocop
rule.
We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.

Having exceptions is better than having silent bugs.
There are a few methods I've kept the same way they were.
The `RelatedContentScore#score_with_opposite` method is a bit peculiar:
it creates scores for both itself and the opposite related content,
which means the opposite related content will try to create the same
scores as well.
We've already got a test to check `Budget::Ballot#add_investment` when
creating a line fails ("Edge case voting a non-elegible investment").
Finally, the method `User#send_oauth_confirmation_instructions` doesn't
update the record when the email address isn't already present, leading
to the test "Try to register with the email of an already existing user,
when an unconfirmed email was provided by oauth" fo fail if we raise an
exception for an invalid user. That's because updating a user's email
doesn't update the database automatically, but instead a confirmation
email is sent.
There are also a few false positives for classes which don't have bang
methods (like the GraphQL classes) or destroying attachments.
For these reasons, I'm adding the rule with a "Refactor" severity,
meaning it's a rule we can break if necessary.
Sometimes we're interpolating a link inside a translation, and marking
the whole translations as HTML safe.
However, some translations added by admins to the database or through
crowdin are not entirely under our control.
Although AFAIK crowdin checks for potential cross-site scripting
attacks, it's a good practice to sanitize parts of a string potentially
out of our control before marking the string as HTML safe.
Settings are stored in the database, and so any changes to the settings
done during the tests are automatically rolled back between one test and
the next one.
There were also a few places where we weren't using an `after` block but
changing the setting at the end of the test.
We're reading the value from the database, but the
`ApplicationMailer.default` method is evaluated when the application is
started. So if we don't use a Proc, we'll need to restart the server
every time we change the value in the database, or else the old value
will still be used.
Using a Proc makes sure the mailer from address is evaluated at runtime,
so emails are sent using the from address currently defined in the
database.
The same situation took place using the devise mailer. Now we don't need
to check for the settings table being present because the Proc in the
devise initializer won't be evaluated before the settings table is
created and populated.
We have to doble check all emails deliveries from the dashboard.
Using a setting to skip all dashboard email deliveries for now.
Note that a rake task to activated the `Setting["dashboard.emails"]` will need to be addded when we want to activate deliveries of these emails.
Execute rake task every day to detect new actions available for not archived proposals. If there are new actions available for today, send email to proposal's author with information text, new actions available and link to proposal dashboard url.
