Why this change?
This change adds validation for the default value for `type: objects` theme
settings when a setting theme field is uploaded. This helps the theme
author to ensure that the objects which they specifc in the default
value adhere to the schema which they have declared.
When an error is encountered in one of the objects, the error
message will look something like:
`"The property at JSON Pointer '/0/title' must be at least 5 characters
long."`
We use a JSON Pointer to reference the property in the object which is
something most json-schema validator uses as well.
What does this change do?
1. This commit once again changes the shape of hash returned by
`ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate`. Instead of using the
property name as the key previously, we have decided to avoid
multiple levels of nesting and instead use a JSON Pointer as the key
which helps to simplify the implementation.
2 Introduces `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate_objects` which
returns an array of validation error messages for all the objects
passed to the method.
Why this change?
The logic for validating a theme setting's value and default value was
not consistent as each part of the code would implement its own logic.
This is not ideal as the default value may be validated differently than
when we are setting a new value. Therefore, this commit seeks to
refactor all the validation logic for a theme setting's value into a
single service class.
What does this change do?
Introduce the `ThemeSettingsValidator` service class which holds all the
necessary helper methods required to validate a theme setting's value
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
Why this change?
This commit introduces an experimental `type: objects` theme setting
which will allow theme developers to store a collection of objects as
JSON in the database. Currently, the feature is still in development and
this commit is simply setting up the ground work for us to introduce the
feature in smaller pieces.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a `json_value` column as `jsonb` data type to the `theme_settings` table.
2. Adds a `experimental_objects_type_for_theme_settings` site setting to
determine whether `ThemeSetting` records of with the `objects` data
type can be created.
3. Updates `ThemeSettingsManager` to support read/write access from the
`ThemeSettings#json_value` column.
Previously we would only recompile a theme locale when its own data changes. However, the output also includes fallback data from other locales, so we need to invalidate all locales when fallback locale data is changed. Building a list of dependent locales is tricky, so let's just invalidate them all.
The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
This commit introduces a new feature that allows theme developers to manage the transformation of theme settings over time. Similar to Rails migrations, the theme settings migration system enables developers to write and execute migrations for theme settings, ensuring a smooth transition when changes are required in the format or structure of setting values.
Example use cases for the theme settings migration system:
1. Renaming a theme setting.
2. Changing the data type of a theme setting (e.g., transforming a string setting containing comma-separated values into a proper list setting).
3. Altering the format of data stored in a theme setting.
All of these use cases and more are now possible while preserving theme setting values for sites that have already modified their theme settings.
Usage:
1. Create a top-level directory called `migrations` in your theme/component, and then within the `migrations` directory create another directory called `settings`.
2. Inside the `migrations/settings` directory, create a JavaScript file using the format `XXXX-some-name.js`, where `XXXX` is a unique 4-digit number, and `some-name` is a descriptor of your choice that describes the migration.
3. Within the JavaScript file, define and export (as the default) a function called `migrate`. This function will receive a `Map` object and must also return a `Map` object (it's acceptable to return the same `Map` object that the function received).
4. The `Map` object received by the `migrate` function will include settings that have been overridden or changed by site administrators. Settings that have never been changed from the default will not be included.
5. The keys and values contained in the `Map` object that the `migrate` function returns will replace all the currently changed settings of the theme.
6. Migrations are executed in numerical order based on the XXXX segment in the migration filenames. For instance, `0001-some-migration.js` will be executed before `0002-another-migration.js`.
Here's a complete example migration script that renames a setting from `setting_with_old_name` to `setting_with_new_name`:
```js
// File name: 0001-rename-setting.js
export default function migrate(settings) {
if (settings.has("setting_with_old_name")) {
settings.set("setting_with_new_name", settings.get("setting_with_old_name"));
}
return settings;
}
```

Manipulating theme module paths means that the paths you author are not the ones used at runtime. This can lead to some very unexpected behavior and potential module name clashes. It also meant that the refactor in 16c6ab8661 was unable to correctly match up theme connector js/templates.
While this could technically be a breaking change, I think it is reasonably safe because:
1. Themes are already forced to use relative paths when referencing their own modules (since they're namespaced based on the site-specific id). The only time this might be problematic is when theme tests reference modules in the theme's main `javascripts` directory
2. For things like components/services/controllers/etc. our custom Ember resolver works backwards from the end of the path, so adding `discourse/` in the middle will not affect resolution.
There was a lot of duplication in the svg parsing and coercion code. This reduces that duplication and causes svg sprite parsing to happen earlier so that more computation is cached.
This PR is a major change to Sass compilation in Discourse.
The new version of sass-ruby moves to dart-sass putting we back on the supported version of Sass. It does so while keeping compatibility with the existing method signatures, so minimal change is needed in Discourse for this change.
This moves us
From:
- sassc 2.0.1 (Feb 2019)
- libsass 3.5.2 (May 2018)
To:
- dart-sass 1.58

SCSS files have been migrated automatically using `sass-migrator division app/assets/stylesheets/**/*.scss`
Theme javascript is now minified using Terser, just like our core/plugin JS bundles. This reduces the amount of data sent over the network.
This commit also introduces sourcemaps for theme JS. Browser developer tools will now be able show each source file separately when browsing, and also in backtraces.
For theme test JS, the sourcemap is inlined for simplicity. Network load is not a concern for tests.
Previously, compiling theme 'extra_js' was done with a number of steps. Each theme_field would be compiled into its own value_baked column, and then the JavascriptCache content would be built by concatenating all of those compiled values.
This commit streamlines things by removing the value_baked step. The raw value of all extra_js theme_fields are passed directly to the ThemeJavascriptCompiler, and then the result is stored in the JavascriptCache.
In itself, this commit should not cause any behavior change. It is designed to open the door to more advanced compilation features which have interdependencies between different source files (e.g. template colocation, sourcemaps).
Previously we were relying on a highly-customized version of the unmaintained Barber gem for theme template compilation. This commit switches us to use our own DiscourseJsProcessor, which makes use of more modern patterns and will be easier to maintain going forward.
In summary:
- Refactors DiscourseJsProcessor to move multiline JS heredocs into a companion `discourse-js-processor.js` file
- Use MiniRacer's `.call` method to avoid manually escaping JS strings
- Move Theme template AST transformers into DiscourseJsProcessor, and formalise interface for extending RawHandlebars AST transformations
- Update Ember template compilation to use a babel-based approach, just like Ember CLI. This gives each template its own ES6 module rather than directly assigning `Ember.TEMPLATES` values
- Improve testing of template compilation (and move some tests from `theme_javascript_compiler_spec.rb` to `discourse_js_processor_spec.rb`
The new plugin list is based on the ones currently used in our ember-cli pipeline, and are based on our official browser support policy.
This commit includes an update to the raw-handlebars compiler to remove the 'very hacky but lets us use ES6' code. It's served us well for the last 6 years, but the babel config changes broke it (`const` -> `let`). This commit takes the opportunity to refactor it to take a similar approach to PrettyText, by leaning on `mini-loader.js`.
This is pre-request work to introduce a splash screen while site assets load.
The only change this commit introduces is that it ensures we add the defer attribute to core/plugin/theme .JS files. This will allow us to insert markup before the browser starts evaluating those scripts later on. It has no visual or functional impact on core.
This will not have any impact on how themes and plugins work. The only exception is themes loading external scripts in the </head> theme field directly via script tags. Everything will work the same but those would need to add the defer attribute if they want to keep the benefits introduced in this PR.
Due to default CSP web workers instantiated from CDN based assets are still
treated as "same-origin" meaning that we had no way of safely instansiating
a web worker from a theme.
This limits the theme system and adds the arbitrary restriction that WASM
based components can not be safely used.
To resolve this limitation all js assets in about.json are also cached on
local domain.
{
"name": "Header Icons",
"assets" : {
"worker" : "assets/worker.js"
}
}
This can then be referenced in JS via:
settings.theme_uploads_local.worker
local_js_assets are unconditionally served from the site directly and
bypass the entire CDN, using the pre-existing JavascriptCache
Previous to this change this code was completely dormant on sites which
used s3 based uploads, this reuses the very well tested and cached asset
system on s3 based sites.
Note, when creating local_js_assets it is highly recommended to keep the
assets lean and keep all the heavy working in CDN based assets. For example
wasm files can still live on the CDN but the lean worker that loads it can
live on local.
This change unlocks wasm in theme components, so wasm is now also allowed
in `theme_authorized_extensions`
* more usages of upload.content
* add a specific test for upload.content
* Adjust logic to ensure that after upgrades we still get a cached local js
on save
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
This allows text editors to use correct syntax coloring for the heredoc sections.
Heredoc tag names we use:
languages: SQL, JS, RUBY, LUA, HTML, CSS, SCSS, SH, HBS, XML, YAML/YML, MF, ICS
other: MD, TEXT/TXT, RAW, EMAIL

Fixes two issues:
- ignores invalid XML in custom icon sprite SVG file (and outputs an error if sprite was uploaded via admin UI)
- clears SVG sprite cache when deleting an `icons-sprite` upload in a theme
Leaking state and non-obvious order (before :all runs *before* RailsHelper.test_setup) are not worth it.
A replacement PR for #13370. Fixes some flaky specs, e.g.
```
bin/rspec './spec/components/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator_spec.rb[1:3]' './spec/jobs/clean_up_user_export_topics_spec.rb[1:1]' --tag ~type:multisite --seed 35994
```
Also included:
* DEV: No need for locale reset (we do it anyway in rails_helper in `test_setup`)
This commit allows themes and theme components to have QUnit tests. To add tests to your theme/component, create a top-level directory in your theme and name it `test`, and Discourse will save all the files in that directory (and its sub-directories) as "tests files" in the database. While tests files/directories are not required to be organized in a specific way, we recommend that you follow Discourse core's tests [structure](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/tests).
Writing theme tests should be identical to writing plugins or core tests; all the `import` statements and APIs that you see in core (or plugins) to define/setup tests should just work in themes.
You do need a working Discourse install to run theme tests, and you have 2 ways to run theme tests:
* In the browser at the `/qunit` route. `/qunit` will run tests of all active themes/components as well as core and plugins. The `/qunit` now accepts a `theme_name` or `theme_url` params that you can use to run tests of a specific theme/component like so: `/qunit?theme_name=<your_theme_name>`.
* In the command line using the `themes:qunit` rake task. This take is meant to run tests of a single theme/component so you need to provide it with a theme name or URL like so: `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[name=<theme_name>]` or `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[url=<theme_url>]`.
There are some refactors to how Discourse processes JavaScript that comes with themes/components, and these refactors may break your JS customizations; see https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-core-changes-that-may-break-some-themes-components-april-12/186252?u=osama for details on how you can check if your themes/components are affected and what you need to do to fix them.
This commit also improves theme error handling in Discourse. We will now be able to catch errors that occur when theme initializers are run and prevent them from breaking the site and other themes/components.

There are some refactors to internal code that's responsible for processing themes/components in Discourse, most notably:
* `<script type="text/discourse-plugin">` tags are automatically converted to modules.
* The `theme-settings` service is removed in favor of a simple `lib` file responsible for managing theme settings. This was done to allow us to register/lookup theme settings very early in our Ember app lifecycle and because there was no reason for it to be an Ember service.
These refactors should 100% backward compatible and invisible to theme developers.
Creates a BabelHelper builder using a default list of plugins, to ensure the transpiled code is always using the same plugins instead of differents plugins in different cases.
Locale files get precompiled after deployment and they contained translations from the `default_locale`. That's especially bad in multisites, because the initial `default_locale` is `en_US`. Sites where the `default_locale` isn't `en_US` could see missing translations. The same thing could happen when users are allowed to chose a different locale.
This change simplifies the logic by not using the `default_locale` in the locale chain. It always falls back to `en` in case of missing translations.
We were sharing `Discourse` both as an application object and a
namespace which complicated things for Ember CLI. This patch
moves raw templates into `__DISCOURSE_RAW_TEMPLATES` and adds
a couple helper methods to create/remove them.
