The text for the unfeasible checkbox wasn't correctly defined as a
label, while the fields to search investments and select the heading
weren't intuitive since their purpose wasn't obvious.
We were getting a warning with Ruby 2.7 due to the change in the way
keyword arguments are handled in Ruby 3.0.
```
ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/rspec-support-3.11.0/lib/rspec/support/with_keywords_when_needed.rb:18:
warning: Passing the keyword argument as the last hash parameter is
deprecated
```
As hinted by the warning, this code crashes with Ruby 3.0:
```
ArgumentError:
unknown keyword: :budget_id
```
I'm not sure why this is the case, though, since we were already
explicitely passing a hash first before passing the keyword parameters.
I guess there are some cases in this whole keyword VS hash parameters
incompatibility that I haven't completely understood.
Sometimes tests were hanging indefinitely. Debugging shows that in some
cases it's due to submitting a form before the AJAX request to get
proposals, debates or investments suggestions is finished, since having
an AJAX and a non-AJAX request at the same time when running the test
sometimes leads to unexpected results.
In our case, we were having many timeouts in Github Actions in the
branches where we use both ActiveStorage and Paperclip to store files
(based on pull request 4598). I can reproduce it in those branches
running the following test ("Should show new image after successful
creation with one uploaded file"), although only when my laptop isn't
plugged (!!):
```
rspec './spec/system/proposals_spec.rb[1:33:1:14]'
```
Since we didn't have a proper way to know the AJAX request had finished,
we're adding a `suggest-success` class to the element showing the
suggestions when that happens. Then in the tests we can look for that
class after filling in the title of a proposal, debate or investments.
Just for clarity's sake, we're also adding the `suggest-loading` class
when the suggestions are loading.
In order not to have expectations everywhere about the suggestions,
we're extracting methods to fill in those titles in the tests. Note we
aren't using these methods in the "edit" actions (suggestions are not
showing when editing) or in tests with the `no_js` tag (since
suggestions only work with JavaScript).
Note we don't cast negative votes when users remove their support. That
way we provide compatibility for institutions who have implemented real
negative votes (in case there are / will be any), and we also keep the
database meaningful: it's not that users downvoted something; they
simply removed their upvote.

It was hard to notice what was going on when supporting one investment
which was at the bottom of the investment index page.
I wonder whether we should add the title of the investment to this text;
I'm not doing so because we don't do that anywhere else.
Using links combined with JavaScript to generate POST requests to the
browser has a few issues.
An obvious one is that it doesn't work for users without JavaScript
enabled (which lately I've noticed are more common than I thought, even
though I've been one of them for years). These users will reach a 404
page.
Since CONSUL isn't currently designed to work without JavaScript
enabled, let's ignore this one for now.
A not so obvious issue is screen reader users might expect the link to
take them somewhere instead of performing an action (in this case,
sending a form to the server).
There might be more issues I'm unaware of. Quoting DHH [1]:
"Turning ahrefs into POSTs is a bit of an anti-pattern, especially for
a11y reasons. Better to use button_to with a styling."
So we're using a button instead. This way we can also simplify the code
and make the button disabled for unidentified users, which automatically
makes it impossible to focus it using the keyboard.
A possible disadvantage of using `button_to` is it will create a form
tag which will be announced to screen readers as a form landmark. I've
tested it with my screen reader and everything worked fine for me, but
some screen reader users might interact with these forms in a different
way and find it confusing, particularly in the case where the button is
disabled.
With this change, we're only changing links for buttons in one place.
There are other places where we should do similar changes.

The `js-` prefix (which I admit I'm not fond of) is usually used to
indicate the class is used by JavaScript files, not for using it in test
files. And in all the other similar tests, we're using the `in-favor`
class instead of the `js-in-favor` class.
This reverts commit 83fe74d53.
When supporting an investment in the management section through the
investment view, we were accessing an action in the public investments
controller. This meant the manager was the one supporting the investment
(as they'd be the `current_user` in this controller) and not the managed
user.
In the case of groups with many headings, voting the first time requires
a confirmation and then a regular (non-AJAX) request takes place. In
this case, users were redirected to the public area instead of remaining
in the management area.
Using the proper URL to vote solves the problem.
Note there was a comment about one of these tests failing in Travis.
Most probably the test failed because there was no expectation after
clicking the link with the investment title, so the "Support" button
(which is also present in the index page) was clicked before the
investment view was loaded.
In the form of creating a new investment was hiding the name of the
group if it had only one heading, but could be confusing to users if
there are, for example, five different groups of one heading.
The solution:
- If the budget has one group and one heading, the heading selector is
hidden.
- If the budget has one group and more than one heading, the group name
is hidden.
- If the budget has more than one group, the group name appears
regardless of the number of headings.
In the Management section when creating an investment we were not passing the
document attributes, so we were never able to associate documents.
Make the nested_documentable spec compatible with the Management section.
In the Management section when creating an investment we were not passing the
images attributes, so we were never able to associate images.
Make the nested_imageable spec compatible with the Management section.
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 prepare the file to be able to include specs
that do not need to have a logged-in user.
We also took the opportunity to not execute this
line in some specs where it was not necessary.
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.
System tests are used to test the application from the user's point of
view. To test for specific exceptions, particularly regarding
authorization permissions, controller tests fit better.
Another option would be to test the page displayed shows a certain text,
like "Internal server error". I'm choosing controller tests because
they're faster and we're basically testing the same scenario many times
and we've already got a test checking what happens when users access a
page raising an exception.
