Previously we were memoizing based on `defined?`, but the `clear_cache!` method was doing `@blah = nil`. That meant that after the cache was cleared, future calls to the memoized method would return `nil` instead of triggering a recalculation.
- Remove the wildcard crawler. This was already excluding almost all file types, but the exclude list was missing '.gjs' which meant those files were unnecessarily being hoisted into the `public/` directory during precompile
- Automatically include all ember-cli-generated assets without needing them to be listed. The main motivation for this change is to allow us to start using async imports via Embroider/Webpack. The filenames for those new async bundles will not be known in advance.
- Skips sprockets fingerprinting on Embroider/Webpack chunk JS files. Their filenames already include a fingerprint, and having sprockets change the filenames will cause problems for the async import feature (where filenames are included deep inside js bundles)
This commit also updates our ember-cli build so that it skips building plugin tests in the production environment. This should provide a slight build speed improvement.
This comment isn't necessarily on a line by itself, so we need to remove the `^` from the regex. This will fix `EMBER_ENV=development bin/rake assets:precompile`
Until now, we have allowed testing themes in production environments via `/theme-qunit`. This was made possible by hacking the ember-cli build so that it would create the `tests.js` bundle in production. However, this is fundamentally problematic because a number of test-specific things are still optimized out of the Ember build in production mode. It also makes asset compilation significantly slower, and makes it more difficult for us to update our build pipeline (e.g. to introduce Embroider).
This commit removes the ability to run qunit tests in production builds of the JS app when the Embdroider flag is enabled. If a production instance of Discourse exists exclusively for the development of themes (e.g. discourse.theme-creator.io) then they can add `EMBER_ENV: development` to their `app.yml` file. This will build the entire app in development mode, and has a significant performance impact. This must not be used for real production sites.
This commit also refactors many of the request specs into system specs. This means that the tests are guaranteed to have Ember assets built, and is also a better end-to-end test than simply checking for the presence of certain `<script>` tags in the HTML.
This method is used by assets:precompile to decide whether to apply `terser` to a file. Embroider chunks do not necessarily start with `chunk.`, and so they were incorrectly being re-terser'd by our assets:precompile task. This is inefficient, and also led to broken sourcemaps on some assets.
Our Ember build compiles assets into multiple chunks. In the past, we used the output from ember-auto-import-chunks-json-generator to give Rails a map of those chunks. However, that addon is specific to ember-auto-import, and is not compatible with Embroider.
Instead, we can switch to parsing the html files which are output by ember-cli. These are guaranteed to have the correct JS files in the correct place. A <discourse-chunked-script> will allow us to easily identify which chunks belong to which entrypoint.
In future, as we update more entrypoints to be compiled by Embroider/Webpack, we can easily introduce new wrappers.

Previously workbox JS was vendored into our git repository, and would be loaded from the `public/javascripts` directory with a 1 day cache lifetime. The main aim of this commit is to add 'cachebuster' to the workbox URL so that the cache lifetime can be increased.
- Remove vendored copies of workbox.
- Use ember-cli/broccoli to collect workbox files from node_modules into assets/workbox-{digest}
- Add assets to sprockets manifest so that they're collected from the ember-cli output directory (and uploaded to s3 when configured)
Some of the sprockets-related changes in this commit are not ideal, but we hope to remove sprockets in the not-too-distant future.
The source-of-truth for our ember version is now the installed node_module. The `ember_source` gem carries an old version of Ember and so the constant is no longer useful. We'll be dropping the gem soon.
We were already compiling the markdown bundle via ember-cli, but that version was only being used in the test environment. This commit improves the implementation, and updates the filename so it's also used in production.
This commit also
- Removes the vendored copy of `markdown-it.js` and fetches from node_modules instead
- Updates `pretty_text.rb` to remove the custom sprockets-manifest-parsing
- Removes `pretty-text-bundle.js`, which was only being used by `pretty_text.rb`
When `EMBER_CLI_PLUGIN_ASSETS=1`, plugin application JS will be compiled via Ember CLI. In this mode, the existing `register_asset` API will cause any registered JS files to be made available in `/plugins/{plugin-name}_extra.js`. These 'extra' files will be loaded immediately after the plugin app JS file, so this should not affect functionality.
Plugin compilation in Ember CLI is implemented as an addon, similar to the existing 'admin' addon. We bypass the normal Ember CLI compilation process (which would add the JS to the main app bundle), and reroute the addon Broccoli tree into a separate JS file per-plugin. Previously, Sprockets would add compiled templates directly to `Ember.TEMPLATES`. Under Ember CLI, they are compiled into es6 modules. Some new logic in `discourse-boot.js` takes care of remapping the new module names into the old-style `Ember.TEMPLATES`.
This change has been designed to be a like-for-like replacement of the old plugin compilation system, so we do not expect any breakage. Even so, the environment variable flag will allow us to test this in a range of environments before enabling it by default.
A manual silence implementation is added for the build-time `ember-glimmer.link-to.positional-arguments` deprecation while we work on a better story for plugins.
All files under `app/assets/javascripts/scripts` will be run through babel, given sourcemaps, and output under `/assets/{name}.js`. This is another step towards removing our sprockets dependence.
Anyone still using `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0` in development or production will be gracefully switched to Ember CLI. In development, a repeated message will be logged to STDERR.
Similarly, passing `QUNIT_EMBER_CLI=0` to the qunit rake task will now do nothing. A warning will be printed, and ember-cli mode will be used. Note that we've chosen not to fail the task, so that existing plugin/theme CI jobs don't immediately start failing. We may switch to a hard fail in the coming days/weeks.
22a7905f restructured how we load Ember CLI assets in production. Unfortunately, it also broke sourcemaps for those assets. This commit fixes that regression via a couple of changes:
- It adds the necessary `.map` paths to `config.assets.precompile`
- It swaps Sprockets' default `SourcemappingUrlProcessor` with an extended version which maintains relative URLs of maps
Previously, accessing the Rails app directly in development mode would give you assets from our 'legacy' Ember asset pipeline. The only way to run with Ember CLI assets was to run ember-cli as a proxy. This was quite limiting when working on things which are bypassed when using the ember-cli proxy (e.g. changes to `application.html.erb`). Also, since `ember-auto-import` introduced chunking, visiting `/theme-qunit` under Ember CLI was failing to include all necessary chunks.
This commit teaches Sprockets about our Ember CLI assets so that they can be used in development mode, and are automatically collected up under `/public/assets` during `assets:precompile`. As a bonus, this allows us to remove all the custom manifest modification from `assets:precompile`.
The key changes are:
- Introduce a shared `EmberCli.enabled?` helper
- When ember-cli is enabled, add ember-cli `/dist/assets` as the top-priority Rails asset directory
- Have ember-cli output a `chunks.json` manifest, and teach `preload_script` to read it and append the correct chunks to their associated `afterFile`
- Remove most custom ember-cli logic from the `assets:precompile` step. Instead, rely on Rails to take care of pulling the 'precompiled' assets into the `public/assets` directory. Move the 'renaming' logic to runtime, so it can be used in development mode as well.
- Remove fingerprinting from `ember-cli-build`, and allow Rails to take care of things
Long-term, we may want to replace Sprockets with the lighter-weight Propshaft. The changes made in this commit have been made with that long-term goal in mind.
tldr: when you visit the rails app directly, you'll now be served the current ember-cli assets. To keep these up-to-date make sure either `ember serve`, or `ember build --watch` is running. If you really want to load the old non-ember-cli assets, then you should start the server with `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`. (the legacy asset pipeline will be removed very soon)
