We were always displaying the event names in English.
Note we're changing the `user_supported_budgets` key because it didn't
make much sense; the investments are supported, and not the budgets.
We're also adding "created" to most of the event names in order to make
the texts more explicit, since not all the events refer to created data.
Note we're delegating the `t` method because i18n-tasks doesn't detect
code like `ApplicationController.helpers.t` and so reports we aren't
using the `admin.stats.graph` translations.
We were tracking some events with Ahoy, but in an inconsistent way. For
example, we were tracking when a debate was created, but (probably
accidentally) we were only tracking proposals when they were created
from the management section. For budget investments and their supports,
we weren't using Ahoy events but checking their database tables instead.
And we were only using ahoy events for the charts; for the other stats,
we were using the real data.
While we could actually fix these issues and start tracking events
correctly, existing production data would remain broken because we
didn't track a certain event when it happened. And, besides, why should
we bother, for instance, to track when a debate is created, when we can
instead access that information in the debates table?
There are probably some features related to tracking an event and their
visits, but we weren't using them, and we were storing more user data
than we needed to.
So we're removing the track events, allowing us to simplify the code and
make it more consistent. We aren't removing the `ahoy_events` table in
case existing Consul Democracy installations use it, but we'll remove it
after releasing version 2.2.0 and adding a warning in the release notes.
This change fixes the proposal created chart, since we were only
tracking proposals created in the management section, and opens the
possibility to add more charts in the future using data we didn't track
with Ahoy.
Also note the "Level 2 user Graph" test wasn't testing the graph, so
we're changing it in order to test it. We're also moving it next to the
other graphs test and, since we were tracking the event when we were
confirming the phone, we're renaming to "Level 3 users".
Finally, note that, since we were tracking events when something was
created, we're including the `with_hidden` scope. This is also
consistent with the other stats shown in the admin section as well as
the public stats.
The only way to use campaigns is to manually insert them in the
database, which IMHO isn't very practical.
We're going to change every piece of code that generates an Ahoy event
and, in this case, the easiest way to change the Campaing model so it
doesn't use Ahoy events is to simply remove it.
Note we're keeping the database tables until we release a new version,
just in case some Consul Democracy installations are using them. We'll
inform in the release notes that we'll remove the campaigns table after
the release, so existing installations using the `campaigns` table can
move the data somewhere else before we remove the table.
The JavaScript required to display the chart wasn't loaded on the admin
stats page.
We're not adding a test because we're going to move the budgets graph to
a different page on the pull request containing this commit.
Note we're changing the "Go back" link, since using a turbolinks refresh
broke this link when using the Chromium browser. Besides, there was an
inconsistency where some of the "Go back" links in admin stats pointed
to the admin stats page but other links pointed to `:back`.
The test that was not passing sometimes since commit 915999db4 because
we no longer created the budget before visiting the page that loads it.
So now we're forcing its creation with `let!`.
This is consistent with the component for balloting stats. We're about
to change both components, and the changes are easier to follow if
they're similar.
We're also using consistent names in methods.
We're also moving the tests, but we're keeping one system test in order
to test the controller and the navigation to get to this page.
Note we're slightly changing the order of the methods in the component;
the order of the instance variables was `user_`, `vote_`, `vote_`,
`user_`, which was hard to follow.
We don't need groups to create headings since commit 20b1085dc, and
`let!` was used as a substitute for instance variables in commit
91c21b098, but it isn't necessary in this case.
We want to make sure the request is finished after clicking a button and
before visiting a different page, so we need to check the page has
changed.
Usually this shouldn't be a problem because most of our forms are sent
with regular HTTP requests instead of AJAX ones, so the `visit` method
wouldn't be called before the request is finished.
However, we're experiencing problems with certain version of
Chromedriver, and in general it's a good practice because we might send
forms using AJAX/Turbolinks in the future.
When we create a record like a debate or an event and we check the page
content, we want to make sure that today's date is present, since it's
the date where the record is supposed to have been created.
This way we avoid querying the database after the browser has been
started.
It's strange to create records without assigning them to a variable and
then query the database to fetch the very same records. Assigning them
to a variable makes the tests easier to understand.
Besides, this way we avoid querying the database after the browser has
started.
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.
We were repeating the same code over and over (with a few variants) to
setup tests which require an administrator. We can use a tag and
simplify the code.
