The current behaviour is to show the chat bubble and hide if chat is
disabled.
Because of this, the bubble appears wrongfully for a short time.
With this PR, by default it is hidden and displayed only if chat is
enabled.
Fixes: #3088
In this way the only external call to statFile() provides an explicit value for
"dirStatLimit", and thus the initial check on "undefined" at the start of the
function could be removed (just added a comment for now).
Supervision/management should not be done from inside the container, but
externally, by container managers.
The container now simply runs node on server.js.
The logs are now readable from docker logs <container_name>.
All the configuration values can be read from environment variables using the
syntax "${ENV_VAR_NAME}".
This is useful, for example, when running in a Docker container.
EXAMPLE:
"port": "${PORT}"
"minify": "${MINIFY}"
"skinName": "${SKIN_NAME}"
Would read the configuration values for those items from the environment
variables PORT, MINIFY and SKIN_NAME.
REMARKS:
Please note that a variable substitution always needs to be quoted.
"port": 9001, <-- Literal values. When not using substitution,
"minify": false only strings must be quoted: booleans and
"skin": "colibris" numbers must not.
"port": ${PORT} <-- ERROR: this is not valid json
"minify": ${MINIFY}
"skin": ${SKIN_NAME}
"port": "${PORT}" <-- CORRECT: if you want to use a variable
"minify": "${MINIFY}" substitution, put quotes around its name,
"skin": "${SKIN_NAME}" even if the required value is a number or a
boolean.
Etherpad will take care of rewriting it to
the proper type if necessary.

Before this commit, when passed a malformed credentials.json the application
crashed with a stack dump. Now we catch the error and fail in a controlled way
(like already done for settings.json).
Example of exception we no longer throw:
MALFORMEDJSON

This is a super simple start.
At minimum, configuration via environment variables (see #3543) needs to be
integrated in Etherpad to make this user-friendly.
Resolves#3524.
With this commit, that closes#3540, we pay the first big slice of our technical
debt. In this line of work we streamlined the code base, reducing its size by
15-20% and making it more understandable at the same time.
The changes were audited and tested collaboratively and are deemed sufficiently
stable for being merged.
Known issues:
- plugin compatibility is still not perfect
- the error handling path needs to be improved
This is an important day for Etherpad: thanks, Ray!
ueberDB2 can return either undefined or null for a missing key, depending on
which DB driver is used. This patch changes the promise version of the API so
that it will always return null.
This is documented to be more performant.
The substitution was made on frontend code, too (i.e., the one in /static),
because Date.now() is supported since IE 9, and we are life supporting only
IE 11.
Commands:
find . -name *.js | xargs sed --in-place "s/new Date().getTime()/Date.now()/g"
find . -name *.js | xargs sed --in-place "s/(new Date()).getTime()/Date.now()/g"
Not done on jQuery.
The guard condition on count being non negative and < 100 used the wrong
boolean operator. In its form it was impossible.
This error was introduced in 2013, in 5592c4b0fe.
Fixes#3499
