The chances of an unpublished proposal appearing on the homepage was
very low because only the proposals with the most votes appear there and
unpublished proposals don't have any votes. However, it was technically
possible on new sites where only a few proposals had been created.
Users were unable to reset a translation to its original value after
updating it because we weren't storing anything in the database in that
case.
I've considered deleting the existing translation when this happens. I'm
not sure about which approach is the better one, so I'm using the less
destructive one.
I think we could have already done so when upgrading Ruby to version
2.6.x (which also included the Bundler gem), but since we didn't, now
that we've upgraded to Bundler 2.x it's probably a good moment.
We were getting hundreds of "warning: URI.escape is obsolete" messages.
So we're using `URI::DEFAULT_PARSER.escape` instead.
IMHO it's OK to add this monkey-patch because we're replacing Paperclip
with Active Storage, and when we finish with that we'll delete this
file.
We're not adding the rule because it would apply the current line length
rule of 110 characters per line. We still haven't decided whether we'll
keep that rule or make lines shorter so they're easier to read,
particularly when vertically splitting the editor window.
So, for now, I'm applying the rule to lines which are about 90
characters long.
We forgot to use it in one place, and we've found out other institutions
using CONSUL whose developers aren't so familiar with Ruby also break
this rule, so it might be better to add it explicitly.
The `column` method in ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition
supports adding the `index:` option. The documentation says:
> Instantiates a new column for the table. See connection.add_column for
> available options.
>
> Additional options are:
>
> :index - Create an index for the column. Can be either true or an
> options hash.
So basically the `connection.add_column` method silently ignores the
`index:` option, and whenever we intended to create an index this way,
we didn't.
We're creating a new migration where we properly add the indexes that
weren't added when we intended to.
Thanks to the rubocop-rails team, who added this cop in version 2.11.0
and helped us notice this bug.
This rule was added in rubocop-rails 2.11.0.
Although we prevent I18n locale leaking between tests by setting it
before each test, the `with_locale` method makes the scope of the locale
change more obvious.
We were already using it in most places. Since rubocop-rails 2.11.0,
this rule also detects offenses when using the `head` method, which we
were using with a plain `404`.
We were clicking links and visiting pages without checking the previous
request had already finished. This might cause concurrent requests,
leading to unpredictable results.
It might be the reason why this test failed once when running our
continuous integration [1].

The test was failing sometimes, probably because the "Edit" link within
the "An example legislation process" row is already present before
clicking the "All" link. This can lead to simultaneous requests.
Just removing the unnecessary click on the "All" link solves the issue.
Debian Bullseye was released two days ago, and is now the default
distribution for the Docker image.
Our image isn't compatible with Debian Bullseye right now, and we
haven't done any testing with it, so for now we're staying with Buster.
This way, when the language is written form right-to-left, elements
using Foundation mixins/classes will float to the opposite direction as
they do in left-to-right languages. The same will apply to text
alignment.
To offer full support for RTL languages, we need to change every single
reference to `float: left`, `float: right`, `text-align: left`,
`text-align: right`, and possible adjust other properties like `left`,
`margin-left`, `padding-left` or `border-left`. In the meantime, we at
least partially support these languages.
Replacing `float` with `flex` when possible would also improve RTL
support.
