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.
Content like lowercase letters with `text-transform: uppercase` or
spaces after elements with `display: block` or "You're on page:" are not
seen that way by users with a browser supporting CSS.
So we're testing what most users actually experience.
Using `<a>` tags with no `href` means these elements cannot be activated
by keyboard users, so we're replacing them with buttons.
In the future we probably want to add more consistency so all toggle
buttons use the same code. We might also add styles depending on the
`aria-expanded` property.
I'm not sure why we were using squares to style these lists see commit
bbacd4546b) but I don't think it's very important and it breaks
displaying the list of related SDGs.
