*Authors*
- Checking and updating authors has been migrated
to a custom script in the repo
*Changelog*
- changelogplease is no longer maintained
- generate changelog in markdown for GitHub releases
- generate changelog in HTML for blog posts
- generate contributors list in HTML for blog posts
*dist*
- clone dist repo, copy files, and commit/push
- commit tag with dist files on main branch;
remove dist files from main branch after release
*cdn*
- clone cdn repo, copy files, and commit/push
- create versioned and unversioned copies in cdn/
- generate md5 sums and archives for Google and MSFT
*build*
- implement reproducible builds and verify release builds
* uses the last modified date for the latest commit
* See https://reproducible-builds.org/
- the verify workflow also ensures all files were
properly published to the CDN and npm
*docs*
- the new release workflow is documented at build/release/README.md
*verify*
- use the last modified date of the commit before the tag
- use versioned filenames when checking map files on the CDN
- skip factory and package.json files when verifying CDN
*misc*
- now that we don't need the jquery-release script and
now that we no longer need to build on Node 10, we can
use ESM in all files in the build folder
- limit certain workflows to the main repo (not forks)
- version has been set to the previously released version 3.7.1,
as release-it expects
- release-it added the `preReleaseBase` option and we
now always set it to `1` in the npm script. This is
a noop for stable releases.
- include post-release script to be run manually after a release,
with further steps that should be verified manually
Ref jquery/jquery-release#114
Closes gh-5522
- Sinon is already at the latest version that supports IE9.
- Upgraded uglify to 3.7.7, which is the latest that worked with IE9.
I tried 3.9.4, which we are using in jquery-migrate, and 3.8.1,
but there were failures in traversing ("Permission denied" errors).
- Upgraded eslint to version 9, which required some changes.
Mainly, unused arguments in catch expressions error by default in 9+.
The config now makes use of `caughtErrorsIgnorePattern`,
which is set to `"^_"`, the same as unused function params.
- Ignored main branch dist files when switching branches.
Closes gh-5508
This is a complete rework of our testing infrastructure. The main goal is to modernize and drop deprecated or undermaintained dependencies (specifically, grunt, karma, and testswarm). We've achieved that by limiting our dependency list to ones that are unlikely to drop support any time soon. The new dependency list includes:
- `qunit` (our trusty unit testing library)
- `selenium-webdriver` (for spinning up local browsers)
- `express` (for starting a test server and adding middleware)
- express middleware includes uses of `body-parser` and `raw-body`
- `yargs` (for constructing a CLI with pretty help text)
- BrowserStack (for running each of our QUnit modules separately in all of our supported browsers)
- `browserstack-local` (for opening a local tunnel. This is the same package still currently used in the new Browserstack SDK)
- We are not using any other BrowserStack library. The newest BrowserStack SDK does not fit our needs (and isn't open source). Existing libraries, such as `node-browserstack` or `browserstack-runner`, either do not quite fit our needs, are under-maintained and out-of-date, or are not robust enough to meet all of our requirements. We instead call the [BrowserStack REST API](https://github.com/browserstack/api) directly.
**BrowserStack**
- automatically retries individual modules in case of test failure(s)
- automatically attempts to re-establish broken tunnels
- automatically refreshes the page in case a test run has stalled
- Browser workers are reused when running isolated modules in the same browser
- runs all browsers concurrently and uses as many sessions as are available under the BrowserStack plan. It will wait for available sessions if there are none.
- supports filtering the available list of browsers by browser name, browser version, device, OS, and OS version (see `npm run test:unit -- --list-browsers` for more info). It will retrieve the latest matching browser available if any of those parameters are not specified. Supports latest and latest-\d+ in place of browser version.
- cleans up after itself (closes the local tunnel, stops the test server, etc.)
- Requires `BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME` and `BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables.
**Selenium**
- supports running any local browser as long as the driver is installed, including support for headless mode in Chrome, FF, and Edge
- supports running `basic` tests on the latest [jsdom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom#readme), which can be seen in action in this PR (see `test:browserless`)
- Node tests will run as before in PRs and all non-dependabot branches, but now includes tests on real Safari in a GH actions macos image instead of playwright-webkit.
- can run multiple browsers and multiple modules concurrently
Other notes:
- Stale dependencies have been removed and all remaining dependencies have been upgraded with a few exceptions:
- `sinon`: stopped supporting IE in version 10. But, `sinon` has been updated to 9.x.
- `husky`: latest does not support Node 10 and runs on `npm install`. Needed for now until git builds are migrated to GitHub Actions.
- `rollup`: latest does not support Node 10. Needed for now until git builds are migrated to GitHub Actions.
- BrowserStack tests are set to run on each `main` branch commit
- `debug` mode leaves Selenium browsers open whether they pass or fail and leaves browsers with test failures open on BrowserStack. The latter is to avoid leaving open too many sessions.
- This PR includes a workflow to dispatch BrowserStack runs on-demand
- The Node version used for most workflow tests has been upgraded to 20.x
- updated supportjQuery to 3.7.1
Run `npm run test:unit -- --help` for CLI documentation
Close gh-5427
Close gh-5330
- lint
- npmcopy
- build, minify, and process for distribution.
- new custom build command using yargs
- compare size of minified/gzip built files
- pretest scripts, including qunit-fixture, babel transpilation, and npmcopy
- node smoke tests
- promises aplus tests
- new watch task using nodemon, which runs `npm run build:all` on `src` changes.
Also:
- upgraded husky and added the new lint command
- updated lint config to use new "flat" config format.
See https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-new
- Temporarily disabled one lint rule until flat config is
supported by eslint-plugin-import.
See https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/issues/2556
- committed package-lock.json
- updated all test scripts to use the new build
- added an express test server that uses middleware-mockserver
this can be used to run tests without karma
- build-all-variants is now build:all
- run pretest script in jenkins
