When running jobs in tests, we use `Jobs.run_immediately!`. This means that jobs are run synchronously when they are enqueued. Jobs sometimes enqueue other jobs, which are also executed synchronously. This means that the outermost job will block until the inner jobs have finished executing. In some cases (e.g. process_post with hotlinked images) this can lead to a deadlock.
This commit changes the behavior slightly. Now we will never run jobs inside other jobs. Instead, we will queue them up and run them sequentially in the order they were enqueued. As a whole, they are still executed synchronously. Consider the example
```ruby
class Jobs::InnerJob < Jobs::Base
def execute(args)
puts "Running inner job"
end
end
class Jobs::OuterJob < Jobs::Base
def execute(args)
puts "Starting outer job"
Jobs.enqueue(:inner_job)
puts "Finished outer job"
end
end
Jobs.enqueue(:outer_job)
puts "All jobs complete"
```
The old behavior would result in:
```
Starting outer job
Running inner job
Finished outer job
All jobs complete
```
The new behavior will result in:
```
Starting outer job
Finished outer job
Running inner job
All jobs complete
```
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
