- Using asycn/await syntax is way more readable and allows to identify further reusable patterns in test initialization. This refactor also served as an exploreation around how the code looks like at this point
- When we handle errors in Ghost, we are supposed to use a pattern of supplying 3 messages:
- message: what went wrong
- context: details about why how or where the error happened
- help: where the user can go to get help with this error
- We do this in many places and our JSON error handler and CLI error logging tools are designed to output this extra information
- However, stack traces, which start with message as the first line and then output the stack are totally missing this
- By injecting the additional messages into the stack once an error has been "ghostified" we should get clearer messages everywhere
Notes:
- I've additionally injected a "Stack Trace:" line that makes it easier to read the error vs the stack
- This code looks a little weird because the lines are inserted backwards, but that allows us to always to the insert at position 1 as per the comment,
so we don't have to keep track of whether we already injected something or not

- This new HTMLErrorRenderer is borrowed heavily from finalHandler
- This is the module that express uses to render errors if there is no custom errorhandler
- It just renders a really simple html page wrapping err.stack in a <pre>
- This results in a nicely formatted, but unstyled error page
- I also updated BasicErrorRenderer to use the same res.statusCode + err.stack pattern rather than err.message
Note: This error renderer is _only_ used for renderering errors on the `/ghost/` route
- In almost all cases, errors here are rendered by Ember
- The only error that can be rendered here is a missing template error see: 2af9e2e12
- If the admin templates default.html or default-prod.html are missing, don't throw a 500
- Instead throw a well considered 400 error with extra help for what to do to fix it
- Reduced our maintenance middleware code down to the bare minimum!
- We have an old maintenance middleware in place to handle when a site is forcibly put into maintenance mode, or the urlService hasn't finished booting
- This maintenance middleware was mounted on every sub app, instead of globally for reasons I no longer remember
- Recently, we introduced a new, static version of maintenence middleware to show during the boot process so we can get the server started earlier & not drop requests
- This version has its own HTML template and doesn't depend on any of Ghost's error rendering code
- To simplify and help with decoupling, this commit merges the two middleware, so that the new independent & static middleware renders its template for any one of the 3 possible maintenance modes
- It only needs to exist in the top level app 🙌
TODO: move the maintenance middleware to its own file/package so it's not part of the app.js as that is weird
- throughout the theme activation flow there are several missing awaits and necessary async keywords
- we should be waiting on these processes, not letting them complete indeterministically

- EACCESS error was previously caught to stop the boot process from failing with perms errors
- For clearFiless, we do not care if these files cannot be removed. Refactored to use allSettled which means we don't do them in sequence + can ignore the outcome
- For minifiy, this is now a legit error, however we don't need the activate method to fail for an EACCES error, we just need an error to be shown (I think)

- It's a step to making the module follow class+DI pattern before fully extracting it into an external libarary
- Reminder, doing in Ghost repo instead of substituting big chunks all at once to have clear history of how the service evolved prior to the extraction into external lib!

- Only require the right css rules depending on the `card_assets` configuration
- 🐛 removed `kg-width-wide` and `kg-width-full` from being considered as card asset, as they should always be defined in themes (it was only a problem in v4.11.x)
- Card asset reloading was incorrectly only happening if the API version changed 🙈
- In addition, having an init function was redundant, as theme activation happens on boot
- This meant that the card assets were being generated twice on boot
- Instead, we now only generate them on theme activation, which covers the boot case and simplifies all the logic
- 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
