This rule was added in Rubocop 0.91.0. A similar rule named
LeakyConstantDeclaration was added in rubocop-rspec 1.34.0.
Note using the FILENAMES constant did not result in an offense using the
ConstantDefinitionInBlock rule but did result in an offense using the
LeakyConstantDeclaration rule. I've simplified the code to get rid of
the constant; not sure why we were adding a constant with `||=` in the
middle of a spec.
This rule was added in Rubocop 0.89.0. However, there are some false
positives when we don't use interpolation but simply concatenate in
order to avoid long lines. Even if there weren't false positives, there
are places where we concatenate to emphasize the point that we're adding
a certain character to a text.
We might reconsider this rule in the future, since we generally prefer
interpolation over concatenation.
Using `travel` we go to `Time.now + interval`. If the application's time
zone changes due to seasonal clock changes during that interval, we
might travel to a time which is not the time we intended to travel to.
Example:
On a system using the UTC time zone, it's 9AM on October 25 (Friday).
Since by default CONSUL uses the Madrid time zone, it means the
application's time is 11AM.
We use `travel` to advance three days. That means we go to 9AM UTC on
October 28 (Monday). The application's time will be 10AM due to the
seasonal clock change, so we haven't fully traveled three days in
application's time.
To reproduce locally, run:
```
TZ=UTC rspec spec/system/proposal_notifications_spec.rb:410
```
Using `travel_to` with `3.days.from_now`, which uses the application's
time zone and so it will travel to October 28 at 11AM, solves the
problem.
There were places where we had two links pointing to the same place; one
link would be the name/title of a record, and one link would be under
the "actions" column.
This is confusing, since users would probably expect these links to
point to different places (which is what happens in other tables in the
admin section) and might try to click one of them and then the other
one and be surprised when they found out both of them go to the same
page.
This way we can remove duplication and simplify the code in the view.
Note we're not using the "within" method in the tests to access a row,
because it doesn't seem to work in components tests when passing the
`text:` option.
This partial was going to get too complex since in some places we've got
different texts, different URLs or different confirmation messages.
While we should probably try to be more consistent and that would make
the partial work in most cases, there'll always be some exceptions, and
using a partial (with, perhaps, some helper methods) will become messy
really quickly.
While Rails provides a lot of functionality by default, there's one
missing piece which is present in frameworks like Django or Phoenix: the
so-called "view models", or "components".
It isn't easy to extract methods in a standard Rails view/partial, since
extracting them to a helper will make them available to all views, and
so two helper methods can't have the same name. It's also hard to
organize the code in modules, and due to that it's hard to figure out
where a certain helper method is supposed to be called from.
Furthermore, object-oriented techniques like inheritance can't be
applied, and so in CONSUL customizing views is harder that customizing
models.
Components fix all these issues, and work the way Ruby objects usually
do.
Components are also a pattern whose popularity has increased a lot in
the last few years, with JavaScript frameworks like React using them
heavily. While React's components aren't exactly the same as the
components we're going to use, the concept is really similar.
I've always liked the idea of components. However, there wasn't a stable
gem we could safely use. The most popular gem (cells) hasn't been
maintained for years, and we have to be very careful choosing which gems
CONSUL should depend on.
The view_component gem is maintained by GitHub, which is as a guarantee
of future maintenance as it can be (not counting the Rails core team),
and its usage started growing after RailsConf 2019. While that's
certainly not a huge amount of time, it's not that we're using an
experimental gem either.
There's currently a conflict between view_component and wicked_pdf.
We're adding a monkey-patch with the fix until it's merged in
wicked_pdf.
We were getting a deprecation message in Rails 5.2:
> The success? predicate is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 6.0.
> Please use successful? as provided by Rack::Response::Helpers.
All the code in the `bin/` and the `config/` folder has been generated
running `rake app:update`, except the `escape_javascript_fix` file,
which we've removed since the code there is already included in Rails
5.2.
In commit 74083df1 we added the possibility to assign administrators and
valuators to budgets, so they would only manage the budgets they're
assigned to.
However, when filtering projects, we were still showing all
administrators and valuators as options to filter investments. It makes
more sense to only show the valuators and administrators assigned to the
current budget.
Note this change only affects the view, and so malicious users could
technically send any other administrator or valuator ID. In this case,
they would get empty results since those administrators/valuators
wouldn't have any investments assigned, so taking this case into account
is not necessary.
It was removed in commit 128a8164 because we hadn't reviewed it nor
tested it properly. We're now adding it again, fixing the issues we've
found while reviewing.
Legislation Processes created through the admin form were getting the default color.
However, Legislation processes created by other means (like the `db:dev_seed` rake task) were not getting these default values.
This feature was originally implemented when we were using Rails 4.
With Rails 5, we can provide default values to all new Legislation processes
and simplify the code at the same time thanks to its `attribute` method.

It worked differently after upgrading to jQuery 3. According to the
jQuery upgrade guide:
> It is almost always a mistake to use .removeAttr("checked") on a DOM
> element. The only time it might be useful is if the DOM is later going
> to be serialized back to an HTML string. In all other cases,
> .prop("checked", false) should be used instead.
We've had to add a couple of hacks in order to make jQuery UI datepicker
work with Turbolinks, and one of our tests is failing because the
datepicker changes its height when changing from a month with 5 weeks to
a month with 6 weeks.
We could add a workaround so the test still passes (jQuery UI doesn't
provide a configuration option to always displays 6 weeks in the
datepicker), but I think it's easier to just use the HTML5 native date
input field, which also allows us to simplify the code a bit and IMHO it
improves the user experience, particularly when using mobile phones.
Since date fields are not supported in Safari and Internet Explorer,
we're still using the jQuery UI datepicker on those browsers (and on any
other browser not supporting date fields).
Due to these changes, we're moving the tests checking datepicker's
behaviour to the dashboard. I've choosing not to change the public pages
because I'm not 100% sure everybody would like this change (some people
prefer the datepicker because we can configure the way it looks).
It's known that Foundation Sticky causes some renderization problems
when rendering sticky elements in anchored position.
The problem seems to be that Foundation Sticky is showing the
support box on medium and up devices overlapped with "Share" and
"Community" sidebar boxes when loading proposal page through
Turbolinks and when restoring the page from brwoser history.
Foundation seems to be doing some top property dynamic calculation
(javascript) and is setting top property to `206px` when it should be
`0px`. Notice that this do not happen on page first load (without
Turbolinks). Check foundation/foundation-sites issue 11098.
Another workaround could be to remove sticky feature for bigger that
small devices (medium large xlarge xxlarge).
Check foundation/foundation-sites issue 9892.
The JavaScript involved wasn't working since we removed the disable-date
attribute in commit 73ff6881.
We're also improving the JavaScript in two ways:
First, we trigger the `change` event immediately, so when the page loads
date fields are disabled when phases are disabled.
And second, we don't remove the selected dates when disabling a phase,
so disabling it and enabling it again will keep the selected values.
Rails automatically disables buttons when submitting a form. This works
fine most of the time: for AJAX requests, it enables them again after
the request is complete, and for non-AJAX requests, the button is
replaced by a new element when the new page loads.
However, there's an exception. When a request returns data so users can
download a fire, the request is not an AJAX one and the button is not
replaced. So users are left with a disabled button they can no longer
click.
So in this case, we aren't disabling the button after a user clicks it.
