When using a link, people using screen readers might think they're going
to a new page where the password is going to be shown. With a button,
they get a better idea about what to expect.
Furthermore, with a button, we can use the `aria-pressed` attribute to
indicate whether the password is currently being shown.
We were using an icon for this link, but people who can't see the icon
couldn't know what the link was about. Axe was reporting the following
accessibility error:
```
link-name: Links must have discernible text (serious)
https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.10/link-name?application=axeAPI
The following 1 node violate this rule:
Selector: .show-password
HTML: <a href="#" class="show-password">
<span class="icon-eye"></span>
</a>
Fix all of the following:
- Element is in tab order and does not have accessible text
Fix any of the following:
- Element does not have text that is visible to screen readers
- aria-label attribute does not exist or is empty
- aria-labelledby attribute does not exist, references elements
that do not exist or references elements that are empty
- Element has no title attribute
```
We're removing the word "email" from the method name because the method
was accepting either an email or a username, and we're using the name of
the label to fill in fields, which is better because it checks that the
label is correctly associated with the field , as shown for instance in
commit 431ebeda8.
This rule was added in rubocop-rspec 2.12.0, and we were already
following it most of the time.
However, the rule isn't working correctly in some cases, such as input
selectors, so we aren't enabling it.
Many management actions only make sense if a user has been selected
beforehand.
We updated :check_verified_user method to be able to check actions that need to
have a user selected in order to avoid exceptions.
We need this control as :only_verified_user is not restrictive enough. The reason is
that the :managed_user method used in the :only_verified_user if it does not find a
user it does an initializce (find_or_initialize_by). This causes that when we have
"skip_verification" to true, it returns this non-persisted user as "verified".
These changes affect the actions of Account, Budgets and Proposals Controller
when no user is selected.
We've got quite a messy hack to sign in managers: they need to visit a
specific URL (management root path).
That means tests signing in managers start the browser to sign them in,
which might cause issues if we setup the database after that.
JavaScript is used by about 98% of web users, so by testing without it
enabled, we're only testing that the application works for a very
reduced number of users.
We proceeded this way in the past because CONSUL started using Rails 4.2
and truncating the database between JavaScript tests with database
cleaner, which made these tests terribly slow.
When we upgraded to Rails 5.1 and introduced system tests, we started
using database transactions in JavaScript tests, making these tests much
faster. So now we can use JavaScript tests everywhere without critically
slowing down our test suite.
This rule was added in rubocop-rspec 1.39.0. The `visible: false` option
is equivalent to `visible: :all`, but we generally use it meaning
`visible: :hidden` for positive expectations and `visible: :all` for
negative expectations.
The only exceptations are tests where we count the number of map icons
present. I'm assuming in this case we care about the number of map icons
independently on whether they are currently shown in the map, so I'm
keeping the `visible: :all` behavior in this case.
