These fields have no label associated to them. While it's more or less
obvious for sighted users that these fields are associated with the
table cell next to them, visually impaired users might not get that
association when using the screen reader in forms mode.
Note we're using `aria-label` instead of `aria-labelledby`. IMHO in this
case `aria-labelledby` is the superior method because it guarantees the
text is present for both sighted and visually impaired users. However,
testing for fields with no label other than the one provided by
`aria-labelledby` is hard since Capybara has no support for this
attribute.
So we're using `aria-label` and testing the presence of the text on the
page (with the `within "tr", text:` statements) as well as the ARIA
label (with the `fill_in` statements).
Having to wait for a whole page refresh after updating each setting was
painful when modifying several settings.
Even though the navigation is updated immediately to reflect which
sections have been enabled/disabled, there's one gotcha. Changing the
"SDG" setting will not update the user menu (which contains a link to
SDG content) nor the "SDG Configuration" tab; refreshing the page will
be necessary to check these changes. The same happens with the map and
remote census tabs. So in these cases we're making an exception and
sending the form. We might find a better solution in the future.
For this reason, we aren't using the `switch` ARIA role. Some users
might not expect a switch control to refresh the page, just like they
usually don't expect checkboxes to refresh the page. Furthermore, screen
reader support for the `switch` role seems to be inconsistent. For
instance, NVDA with Chrome announces the control as a checkbox instead
of a switch.
Note AJAX is only used for feature settings. Other settings are still
updated with regular HTTP requests.
Since we're now using AJAX requests, we have to make sure to add an
expectation in the homepage tests in order to make sure the request has
finished before starting a new one.
We were using buttons with the "Enable" and "Disable" texts to
enable/disable settings. However, when machine learning settings were
introduced in commit 4d27bbeba, a switch control was introduced to
enable/disable them.
In order to keep the interface consistent, we're now using switch
controls in other sections where settings are enabled/disabled. We can
even use the same code in the machine learning settings as well.
We're also removing the confirmation dialog to enable/disable a setting,
since the dialog is really annoying when changing several settings and
this action can be undone immediately. The only setting which might need
a confirmation is the "Skip user verification" one; we might add it in
the future. Removing the confirmation here doesn't make things worse,
though; the "Are you sure?" confirmation dialog was also pretty useless
and users would most likely blindly accept it.
Note Capybara doesn't support finding a button by its `aria-labelledby`
atrribute. Ideally we'd write `click_button "Participatory budgeting"`
instead of `click_button "Yes"`, since from the user's point of view the
"Yes" or "No" texts aren't button labels but indicators of the status of
the setting. This makes the code a little brittle since tests would pass
even if the element referenced by `aria-labelledby` didn't exist.
There were duplicate IDs and the `lines` attribute doesn't do anything
for textareas (I guess it was accidentally used instead of the `rows`
attribute; I'm just removing it so the page looks the same way it did
until now).
Even though the `value` field didn't generate duplicate IDs, we're also
changing it because we usually set an element with the `dom_id` of a
record when it contains the whole information about a record, and not
just one piece of it. For instance, in some places we assign this ID to
the table row related to the record.
Note that in Ruby files this rule allows vertical alignment, but doesn't
seem to do the same in ERB. Since we only used vertical alignment in one
place, and that place also had an unneeded extra space on every aligned
line, I've decided to change the code in that place and follow the rule.
Currently after each update of any Settings is redirected to the first
tab by default.
As this new tab remote_census_configuation has a lot of fields to fill
in it is a bit uncomfortable to have to go back to the tab after each
update.
- Add hidden field :tag to set current tag value
- After update add tag value to request.referer
- To avoid errors when partial call has not param :tag, add the "define?"
method on hidden_field value.
In these cases "setting" is the value expected by the new helper method for
everything to continue rendering in the usual way.
Note:
All the new calls to _setting_table partial will need add setting_name param.
When we reuse the partial '_setting_table' to render the 3 types
of remote census settings, we need customize setting_name key by
default to clarify the information to render.
- Add new param 'setting_name' to partial '_setting_table'
- Create new setting helper method to use new setting_name param
to display a more clarify setting name on table.
According to the feature setting["remote_census"]:
- Display info to enable tab when remote_census feature is disabled.
- Display all related setting to remote_census when feature is enabled
- Render remote census configuration content on settings index.
- Update type method from Setting
On Admin::SettingsController#index we are using 'all_settings' to
group all settings by 'type' method.
'type' method return the first part of key when split by '.'
To allow use by example: all_settings["remote_census.general"]
and recover only settings related with this key we have added new
'elsif' on 'type' method.
