Also add symlinks from the old `bin/` and `tests/` locations to avoid
breaking scripts and other tools.
Motivations:
* Scripts and tests no longer have to do dubious things like:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
to access packages installed as dependencies in
`src/package.json`.
* Plugins can access the backend test helper library in a non-hacky
way:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common')
* We can delete the top-level `package.json` without breaking our
ability to lint the files in `bin/` and `tests/`.
Deleting the top-level `package.json` has downsides: It will cause
`npm` to print warnings whenever plugins are installed, npm will
no longer be able to enforce a plugin's peer dependency on
ep_etherpad-lite, and npm will keep deleting the
`node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite` symlink that points to `../src`.
But there are significant upsides to deleting the top-level
`package.json`: It will drastically speed up plugin installation
because `npm` doesn't have to recursively walk the dependencies in
`src/package.json`. Also, deleting the top-level `package.json`
avoids npm's horrible dependency hoisting behavior (where it moves
stuff from `src/node_modules/` to the top-level `node_modules/`
directory). Dependency hoisting causes numerous mysterious
problems such as silent failures in `npm outdated` and `npm
update`. Dependency hoisting also breaks plugins that do:
require('ep_etherpad-lite/node_modules/foo')
There are some problems with nyc:
* The coverage numbers aren't useful in our case because most of the
code is executed outside the test process (the test code is mostly
API client logic).
* nyc messes with line numbers, which makes it much harder to debug
problems.
* We're seeing frequent SIGABRT crashes while nyc is printing the
results table. I'm not sure if nyc is the cause of the crashes, or
if it's making a race condition worse, or if the crashes have
nothing to do with nyc, but we don't lose much by removing it so
we might as well see if the crash frequency improves.
Rewrite the `callAll` and `aCallAll` functions to support all
reasonable hook behaviors and to report errors for unreasonable
behaviors (e.g., calling the callback twice).
Now a hook function like the following works as expected when invoked
by `aCallAll`:
```
exports.myHookFn = (hookName, context, cb) => {
cb('some value');
return;
};
```
Rather than reinvent the wheel, use a well-tested library to parse and
write cookies. This should also help prevent XSS vulnerabilities
because the library handles special characters such as semicolon.
Previously Etherpad would not pass the correct client IP address through and this caused the rate limiter to limit users behind reverse proxies. This change allows Etherpad to use a client IP passed from a reverse proxy.
Note to devs: This header can be spoofed and spoofing the header could be used in an attack. To mitigate additional *steps should be taken by Etherpad site admins IE doing rate limiting at proxy.* This only really applies to large scale deployments but it's worth noting.
* `src/node/server.js` can now be run as a script (for normal
operation) or imported as a module (for tests).
* Move shutdown actions to `src/node/server.js` to be close to the
startup actions.
* Put startup and shutdown in functions so that tests can call them.
* Use `await` instead of callbacks.
* Block until the HTTP server is listening to avoid races during
test startup.
* Add a new `shutdown` hook.
* Use the `shutdown` hook to:
* close the HTTP server
* call `end()` on the stats collection to cancel its timers
* call `terminate()` on the Threads.Pool to stop the workers
* Exit with exit code 0 (instead of 1) on SIGTERM.
* Export the HTTP server so that tests can get the HTTP server's
port via `server.address().port` when `settings.port` is 0.
If mocha hangs after running the tests, hit Ctrl-C and wtfnode will
print open files, open sockets, running timers, and running intervals.
Adding an `after` function that closes/stops all of those things will
ensure that mocha exits when it finishes running the tests.
