- Currently it's assumed that public files are 100% static
- With card assets, we're using it for files that are partially static, but can change between reboots and theme changes
- We already have a system for managing cache busting across theme changes and restarts - the ?v= key that is added via the asset helper
- This was already in place and used, but servePublicFile's internal cache didn't honor this key, and cached for the lifetime of boot
- This small change means that if a ?v= query param is present on a request for a public file, that we pay attention to it. Else we cache as before
no issue
When switching the oembed service to async/await the error handling was not correctly refactored. `this.errorHandler(url)` was returning a curried function so it could be used as `.catch(this.errorHandler(url))` but that's not how it's being used after the async/await change meaning we were returning a function rather than the result of that function.
- `this.errorHandler(url)` is now only used in one place where `url` is available so removed the method and moved the body of the curried function inline into the `catch` handler
- added a message to the logged error so it's more clear what the log refers to

- Looking closer into the reason why the test was failing without "forceStart" revealed that the server only start was overoptimized - "initServicesForFrontend" should be a part of a backend as those are generic theme services.
no issue
- Having rewire here doens't do any difference and should not be used if absolutely needed. Usually using rewire gives a code "smell" so there's some sort of coupling that's going on and probably has to be addressed first
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- The reason the test **settings** test was failing when the force start flag was removed in the **custom themes** was the bridge! The bridge was trying to execute function on the frontend when the boot was done without initializing the frontend. The setting test was changing locale and the timezone which triggered events calling up on frontend components - we clearly don't want to do this when the instance is booted without the frontend
- To make event initialization conditional moved it to the "init". This way the event listeners are only set up when we boot with the "frontend" flag set to true
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- Without sensible defaults the web app was not initializing either the backend nor the frontned parts of the application. Fixed the defaults so the problem doesn't happen again and optimized mock-express-style initialization to only initialize the frontend routing
no issue
- `startsWith` method is way easier to read and understand. also, **probably** has better performance comparing to building up a regexp and then matching
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- This optimization is expected to play a role in more consistent "backend-only" boot where the previous test state might have left over a different theme version which might cause in unwanted URL Services reainitializations.
- What has been happening here is the themes.test.js suite was uploading a theme with a v4 api and when the users api test suite loaded up it switched back to a default v2 theme, which caused routing reinitialization
- The root problem here is the themese suite is leaving a mess behind so a "restartModeGhostStart" is not really possible anymore - this should be cleaned up separately
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- When instantiating new Urls/Resources object in the UrlService's init on every test suite start it was loosing track of past events (softReset wasn't doing the cleanup properly). Not initializing new classes "fixes" the problem partially, by not loosing track of those event listeners. The real fix should be proper even listener cleanup on every soft reset!
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- Allows to turn off overwriting urls/resources JSON file caches on testing environment. This is needed to have predictable state when running multiple test suites that stop the Ghost process and try to persiste URL cache.
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- This extracts the file storage knowledge out of the URL Service an allows to have optional features based on the environment - for example turning off writing cache for when running tests
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- The global default should stay the same as it used to be and we can introduce an override for "withFrontend:false" on casa-by-case or area-by-area bases
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- Going though local utils allows to have the "withFrontend: false" flag applied only to the e2e-api test suites. This way we can gradually introduce the no-frontend change across all test suites
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- Having the proxy in local utils allows to disable frontend gradually in test suites instead of all at once (the latter approach didn't work out as too many other suites still depend on full frontend initialization)
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- When running e2e-API test in most cases there's no need to boot Ghost instance with full frontend. This should improve the boot time which should reflect on the speed of running test suites
- The tests where the "forceStart" and "withFrontend" are used together indicate that there's still some work to do to fully separate frontend/backend boot line. The force start is also unnecessary, but was needed to reinitialize all services properly - should be investigated!
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- To be able to reliably start ghost instance without a frontend the process needs access to urls/resources caches
- Storing the configuration in "paths" for now as there's no better place for it untill we are able to mock the content folder in pre-boot
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- These flags are meant to control initialization of sections of the boot sequence depending on the needs - with or without bakend (API)/frontend (public handlebars site)
- Ideally these flags should not be passed deep into the components, and if the are (like in the web/parent/app case) it's a smell that we need to move things up into the boot process!
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- These fixture had to be updated due to hardcoded ids introduced in the fixtures.json for test
- This allows to boot up a Ghost instance without recalculating urls for most common database states
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- These fixtures needs id's to be able to form a stable urls and resources cache that would be used across all e2e tests when booting without a frontend
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- This way the test is performed on a "full" set of posts that will become unified within all e2e tests for performance optimization
- Upgrading the version of minifier to a patched version that ensures the dir exists before writing a file
- This is needed because although the content/public directory is present in the repo, it is not present in production installs
made with Ghost-CLI or Pro until changes there are merged. Other production setups will likely miss it too.
- Ensuring the dir means no one is suprised by this not working
closes: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/13739
- Ghost cannot write to the core folder in correctly configured production installations
- Built assets therefore need to be written to the content directory
- Ghost does not overwrite anything in the content folder as part of an upgrade, therefore static files that are provided by Ghost
must still live inside /core
- So as a result, we now have core/frontend/public and content/public
- These two things are meant to improve performance at the cost of reliability.
- Perfect for testing, however I think they make a minimal impact on modern SSDs :(
- Still worth a shot to see if it helps with CI
