Note we're excluding a few files:
* Configuration files that weren't generated by us
* Migration files that weren't generated by us
* The Gemfile, since it includes an important comment that must be on
the same line as the gem declaration
* The Budget::Stats class, since the heading statistics are a mess and
having shorter lines would require a lot of refactoring
Since the change on commit cbbe188d6 we added a Poll.current.any?
condition to show the officing link on admin menu to officers.
That condition doesn't have much sense since Poll results only can be
added after a poll has ended, and there may be only one active poll.
In most sections, we had two specs testing what happens after accessing
one of the privileged areas. We're grouping the expectations and so
we've only got one test per area, making these tests faster.
This way we reduce the number of system tests or, in some cases,
requests during system tests, making the tests faster.
We're still testing the interaction with the menu when users have the
right permissions.
In commit baaec3a29 we started using the JavaScript driver in tests
dealing with the user menu, and made all tests pass.
However, we didn't update some officing tests that were also passing
when there was a bug in the code. That's because now that these tests
use a JavaScript driver, the link to "Polling officers" is never present
before pressing the "Menu" item. So tests checking the link isn't
present when loading the page always pass.
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.
