This is the reason why this feature was implemented in the first
place: it's easy to open the editor, make some changes, close it, and
continue without realizing the changes have not been saved.
In the rest of the forms, this functionality is quite lacking. For
starters, some forms warn if there are unsaved changes, while some forms
don't, which is highly inconsistent and disorients users.
Furthermore, we were having problems with this feature after upgrading
Turbolinks, particularly in forms using CKEditor. In these cases, a lot
of hacking needs to be done in order to make this feature work properly,
since CKEditor adds some formatting automatically, and if this is done
after the form is serialized, we'll get some unexpected behavior. On the
other hand, comparing the value of a textarea against its `defaultValue`
property will work on every edge case, including using the browser's
back button or reloading the page.
Finally, users are used to the way web forms work, and aren't used to be
asked for confirmation when they change their mind and decide to leave
the page without saving the changes. Asking them for confirmation will
be annoying in most cases. Besides that, if they accidentally leave the
page, they can use the browser's back button and they'll recover the
unsaved changes.
It's true this won't happen it they accidentally close the browser's
window, but our WatchFormChanges functionality didn't work in this case
either. Using the "beforeunload" event adds more problems than it
solves, since it doesn't support custom messages (or, to be more
precise, modern browsers ignore custom messages), and it doesn't get
along with turbolinks.

Turbolinks 5 doesn't follow the browser's standard behaviour of ignoring
links pointing to "#", so we're preventing the turbolinks events in this
situation:
We didn't upgrade Turbolinks when we upgraded to Rails 5 so we didn't
upgrade too many things at the same time, and postponed it... until now
:).
Note upgrading Turbolinks fixes an issue with foundation's sticky when
using the browser's back and forward buttons. We're adding tests for
these scenarios.

The `$()` function is a shortcut for `$(document).ready()`, and we were
attaching events to `$(document).ready()` inside the `$()` function.
In a similar way, we were handling the `page:load` and `ajax:complete`
events inside the `$()` function. But when those events trigger, the DOM
is already ready.
Besides, we don't have to wait for the DOM to be ready before attaching
events to the `document` element. Quoting jQuery's `.on()`
documentation:
> The document element is available in the head of the document before
> loading any other HTML, so it is safe to attach events there without
> waiting for the document to be ready.

In the past we had huge problems trying to make it work with Turbolinks.
However, after updating foundation-rails in commit 58071fd6, these hacks
aren't necessary anymore.
We're adding a test for the scenario of visiting a page using
Turbolinks, which was missing, so we're sure we aren't breaking
anything.
Note the sticky will still not work after using the browser back button.
We haven't been able to make it work with turbolinks-classic; we'll fix
this issue when upgrading turbolinks.
Its known that initializing a map when it is inside a hidden element
wont work when hidden element is shown, so its makes sense to
avoid initialization of hidden maps.
When a map lives within a hidden layer we need to initialize the
map after the event of showing that hidden layer, in our case when
admin settings tab is shown.
TableSortable and Sortable javascripts were using the same CSS
class name to define completely different and separated
behaviours causing unexpected errors. Now `sortable.js` script
will use `.sortable` class and `table_sortable.js` will use
`.table-sortable` instead.
We weren't using `foundation()` in these cases, so after flagging a
debate or a comment, we had to reload the page before we could unflag
it.
We're also adding a test for the fix in commit ea85059d. This test shows
it's necessary to filter the elements with JavaSctipt using `first()` if
we want the same code to work with comments.

When a user replies to a comment whose responses was hidden at the
moment of reply form submission and although the reply were correctly
added to the DOM it was hidden because was added to a collapsed list.
This solution is about showing all responses of parent comment after adding
the new comment to the DOM so the user can see new reply into the screen.
(This is not applicable to root comments which cannot be collapsed)
Extract the needed portion of code to a new partial to be able to update
only the elements needed when a new comment is added keeping UI properly
updated.
We were using a <ul> tag for a single comment, where the first element
of the list was the comment itself and the second element was the list
of replies.
IMHO it makes more sense to have a list of all comments, where every
element is a comment and inside it there's a list of replies.
We're also rendering the list even if it has no children so it's easier
to add comments through JavaScript. Then we use the :empty CSS selector
to hide the list if it's empty. However, since ERB adds whitespace if we
structure our code the usual way and current browsers don't recognize
elements with whitespace as empty, we have to use the `tag` helper so no
whitespace is added.
Tests are also a bit easier to read, even though we need to use the
`text:` option to find links because otherwise the text in the hidden
`<span>` tags will cause `click_link` to miss the link we want to click.
Here's an explanation by one of Capybara's authors:

When a page with ckeditor is restored from browser cache by using browser
history back feature application was trying to re-initialize it but this was
throwing some javascript errors that left ckeditor useless. The ckeditor user
interface seemed to be loaded correctly but editor contents was not shown
and ckeditor locked.
This solution is about destroying all ckeditor instances on page before
leaving it and force the reinitialization after Turbolinks restored the cache.
Inspiration here [1].
There is a similar patch to make it work with Turbolinks 5.x versions [2].

We were calling initialize_modules after every ajax call only to apply the
application javascript to new elements added though ajax calls, this is not
always needed because some ajax calls do not add new elements to the user
interface so there is no new elements to initialize. This technique was working
fine in most cases but was causing different kind of problems at some pages where
some elements where being unnecessarily reinitiliazed causing the execution of the
element associated scripts as many times as the element was initialized. This fix
should relief a little bit of work to users browsers.
After this change we had to fix some pieces of javascript:
Regarding LegistationAnnotatable module, since we are not re-initializing Annotator
app we cannot destroy it so now we only need to insert the new annotation into annotator
interface to keep it properly updated.
Regarding Comments module, we do not need anymore the initialization check because this
code only will be fired once now we do not launch application initialization after ajax
calls. Also, when a new comment is created its added to the DOM through AJAX and include
some elements that needs javascript initialization to work. By using
"Delegated event handlers" [1] new comments will be initialized automatically when added.

All of these plugins are not used anywhere.
Change introduced at ckeditor initializer will ommit unneeded
precompilation of plugins assets on production environments.
Change introduced at ckeditor config file adresses the problem with assets
pipeline fallback on testing environments described here: #2711. Now plugins
that are explicitly disabled will not be precomiled when running ckeditor
javascript enabled feature specs.
The URL used for the generated request was
`/ckeditor/pictures&responseType=json`. This is a known issue in the
ckeditor gem, and it's suggested to add a `?` at the end of the URL in
order to fix it.
I haven't added a test for this case since simulating dropping a file in
the browser with Selenium/Capybara seems to be quite tricky and I
haven't found a solution guaranteed to correctly emulate what users do.
This feature was not working so its better to disable it completely.
By removing attachment_files endpoints related buttons and tabs from ckeditor UI are not shown to users anymore.
When a current locale is not defined on applicaton.js, datepicker load
the last jquery-ui/i18n/datepicker-xx defined.
Add 'jquery-ui/i18n/datepicker-en-GB' as last "require" to use when a current locale is not defined.
To maintain consistency and the use of advanced search in the frontend,
we forced the expected date format for all languages. This is a temporary
solution that we should analyze in depth to allow different date formats
depending on the language in the filters.
The new CSV report was more configurable and could work on proposals,
processes and comments. However, it had several issues.
In the public area, by default it generated a blank file.
In the admin section, the report was hard to configure and it generated
a file with less quality than the old system.
So until we improve this system, we're bringing back the old investment
CSV exporter.
This commit reverts most of commit 9d1ca3bf.
The current tracking section had a few issues:
* When browsing as an admin, this section becomes useless since no
investments are shown
* Browsing investments in the admin section, you're suddenly redirected
to the tracking section, making navigation confusing
* One test related to the officing dashboard failed due to these changes
and had been commented
* Several views and controller methods were copied from other sections,
leading to duplication and making the code harder to maintain
* Tracking routes were defined for proposals and legislation processes,
but in the tracking section only investments were shown
* Probably many more things, since these issues were detected after only
an hour reviewing and testing the code
So we're removing this untested section before releasing version 1.1. We
might add it back afterwards.
We need to add a hidden field for each group of check boxes, so if we
don't check anything, the hidden field is sent to the server, indicating
nothing was selected. Without the hidden field, the server will not know
anything has been done to the check boxes.
The easiest way to do it is using `collection_check_boxes`, which also
adds labels to every check box.
We were using two different systems to set translations in JavaScript:
to set the text for languages, we were using data attributes, and to set
the text for staff members, we were using AJAX calls.
I find data attributes keep the code more simple, since there's no need
to define an extra route and controller action. Furthermore, the user
experience is better because response times are faster.
So now both places use data attributes.
