Doing a full page load in system test is expensive and takes about 1
second on average. Since this shared example is being run across 70
official
plugins, the additional time to execute these full page loads adds up.
Therefore, we are trading off some readability here for CI runtime.
Before:
```
Randomized with seed 7202
..................
Finished in 21.26 seconds (files took 1.72 seconds to load)
18 examples, 0 failures
```
After:
```
Randomized with seed 7202
........
Finished in 14.28 seconds (files took 1.74 seconds to load)
8 examples, 0 failures
```
This commit is replacing the system specs driver (selenium) by
Playwright: https://playwright.dev/
We are still using Capybara to write the specs but they will now be run
by Playwright. To achieve this we are using the non official ruby
driver: https://github.com/YusukeIwaki/capybara-playwright-driver
### Notable changes
- `CHROME_DEV_TOOLS` has been removed, it's not working well with
playwright use `pause_test` and inspect browser for now.
- `fill_in` is not generating key events in playwright, use `send_keys`
if you need this.
### New spec options
#### trace
Allows to capture a trace in a zip file which you can load at
https://trace.playwright.dev or locally through `npx playwright
show-trace /path/to/trace.zip`
_Example usage:_
```ruby
it "shows bar", trace: true do
visit("/")
find(".foo").click
expect(page).to have_css(".bar")
end
```
#### video
Allows to capture a video of your spec.
_Example usage:_
```ruby
it "shows bar", video: true do
visit("/")
find(".foo").click
expect(page).to have_css(".bar")
end
```
### New env variable
#### PLAYWRIGHT_SLOW_MO_MS
Allow to force playwright to wait DURATION (in ms) at each action.
_Example usage:_
```
PLAYWRIGHT_SLOW_MO_MS=1000 rspec foo_spec.rb
```
#### PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS
Allow to be in headless mode or not. Default will be headless.
_Example usage:_
```
PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS=0 rspec foo_spec.rb # will show the browser
```
### New helpers
#### with_logs
Allows to access the browser logs and check if something specific has
been logged.
_Example usage:_
```ruby
with_logs do |logger|
# do something
expect(logger.logs.map { |log| log[:message] }).to include("foo")
end
```
#### add_cookie
Allows to add a cookie on the browser session.
_Example usage:_
```ruby
add_cookie(name: "destination_url", value: "/new")
```
#### get_style
Get the property style value of an element.
_Example usage:_
```ruby
expect(get_style(find(".foo"), "height")).to eq("200px")
```
#### get_rgb_color
Get the rgb color of an element.
_Example usage:_
```ruby
expect(get_rgb_color(find("html"), "backgroundColor")).to eq("rgb(170, 51, 159)")
```
We are making this the only option for our login/signup
pages on April 29th, 2025, per
https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-our-new-fullscreen-signup-and-login-pages/340401.
This commit removes the `full_page_login` setting and any logic
around it, as well as deleting the old login and signup modals,
and removing leftover problem checks and settings from the database.
Instead of having each test go incur the overhead of having to go
through the actual user flow to register a security key, we can generate
the WebAuthn credentials on the server side and adds it to the virtual
authenticator.
## Requirements
Initially defined in
https://meta.discourse.org/t/software-engineer-frontend-ember-js-yuriy-kurant/353612/14?u=yaran.
1. On mobile devices and tablets, users can open the search input field
by tapping the search icon
2. When opened, the search input takes over the entire header area:
- Users can tap the sliders icon to navigate to the advanced search page
(/search)
- Users can tap Cancel to close search input
3. After submitting a search, results area will take over the entire
screen:
- Users can tap the X icon to clear the search term from the input field
- Users can tap Cancel to close search results area and return to their
previous page (i.e. search area overlays content)
## Implementation
1. When opened, the search input takes over the entire header area:
- changed panel width from `90vw` to `100vw`
- on initial render (when search input is empty), search panel hovers over the header section only (doesn't cover main content below)
- quick tip and recent searches lists are not displayed on mobile view
2. Tap on the sliders icon navigates to the advanced search page
(`/search`)
3. Tap on the **Cancel** button:
- closes search menu
- if the search term is present, it is cleared
4. Tap on the left-hand side **Search** icon triggers a topics search
## Dev notes
1. Added `// TODO` questioning `search` service `noResults` default value of `false`
2. Added animation on toggling header search panel (created `delayed-destroy` custom modifier)
3. Extracted in-context search filters into a standalone component `search-menu/active-filters`:
- mobile: active filters below search input
- desktop: active filters inside search input
3. Removed unnecessary top padding when search results are empty
4. Added `data-test-` attrs for Ember tests. Benefits:
- semantically `data-test-` attrs indicate that these parts of the layout are covered with tests
- decouples selector dependency on `id/class` names for testing purposes - eliminates risk of broken tests due to `id/class` name changes
A system test in `system/search_spec.rb` was failing with the following
error frequently on CI:
```
Failure/Error: expect(search_page).to have_heading_text("Search")
expected `#<PageObjects::Pages::Search:0x00007fb9fcd3f028>.has_heading_text?("Search")` to be truthy, got false

The failure screenshot shows that the "user" is on the homepage even
though we have already clicked the search icon and ensured that the user
can see the search container. I suspect there is some sort of race
condition here since Capybara executes clicks in quick sucession where
we clicked on both the homepage logo and the search icon. It may be
possible that Ember redirected the user to the search page first
before the browser was able to finish navigating the user to the `/`
href.
### Reviewer notes
Test flaked in
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/actions/runs/14085443789/job/39448197089
with the following failure screenshot:

This patch adds a new shared example to be used as a smoke test in
plugins and themes.
A `skip_examples` argument is available to easily opt-out from a
category of tests.
Example:
```rb
RSpec.describe "Testing core features", type: :system do
it_behaves_like "having working core features", skip_examples: %i[search login]
end
```
Now we have the search input showing in a few
different configurations:
* Welcome banner
* Header field
* Header icon
And we can get to the search with both `/` and
`Ctrl+F` shortcuts. These configurations can
be used together, and we need to focus on the right
search input at the right time.
This commit fixes the shortcuts not working
or showing the wrong thing in some cases,
and adds a comprehensive system spec for all
the variants.
This PR adds a destroy:posts rake task that can be used to hard-delete a list of posts. Useful for dealing with large amounts of spam that has been soft deleted and needs to go.
Notes:
Works on both non-deleted and soft-deleted posts. (We might want to change this to work on only soft-deleted posts?)
Works exclusively on post IDs. We can't mix topic and post IDs as they might clash, and we have no way of resolving that ambiguity.
Accepts either a rake-style array of IDs or, more conveniently, you can pipe the argument in through STDIN.
Added a confirmation step since it's a fairly destructive operation.
This patch aims to improve the steps inspector output:
- The service class name is displayed at the top.
- Next to each step is displayed the time it took to run said step.
- Steps that didn’t run are hidden.
- `#inspect` automatically outputs the error when it is present.
This patch adds a new step to services named `try`.
It’s useful to rescue exceptions that some steps could raise. That way,
if an exception is caught, the service will stop its execution and can
be inspected like with any other steps.
Just wrap the steps that can raise with a `try` block:
```ruby
try do
step :step_that_can_raise
step :another_step_that_can_raise
end
```
By default, `try` will catch any exception inheriting from
`StandardError`, but we can specify what exceptions to catch:
```ruby
try(ArgumentError, RuntimeError) do
step :will_raise
end
```
An outcome matcher has been added: `on_exceptions`. By default it will
be executed for any exception caught by the `try` step.
Here also, we can specify what exceptions to catch:
```ruby
on_exceptions(ArgumentError, RuntimeError) do |exception|
…
end
```
Finally, an RSpec matcher has been added:
```ruby
it { is_expected.to fail_with_exception }
# or
it { is_expected.to fail_with_exception(ArgumentError) }
```
- Uses a more appropriate image, with immutable tag (so update prompts work correctly)
- Updates port forwarding
- Improves mount setup (inc. persistant PG/Redis when rebuilding)
- Fixes ember-cli live reload
- Automatically configures VSCode & extensions
These URLs allow the state of a headless browser to be viewed and debugged using any other browser, without needing to restart the test with `SELENIUM_HEADLESS=0`.

S3 itself and other S3-compatible providers do not
allow using an S3 custom endpoint and dualstack at
the same time, so this commit fixes that by not using
dualstack when the endpoint is present.
When we added direct S3 uploads to Discourse, which use
presigned URLs, we never took into account the dualstack
endpoints for IPv6 on S3.
This commit fixes the issue by using the dualstack endpoints
for presigned URLs and requests, which are used in the
get-presigned-put and batch-presign-urls endpoints used when
directly uploading to S3.
It also makes regular S3 requests for `put` and so on use
dualstack URLs. It doesn't seem like there is a downside to
doing this, but a bunch of specs needed to be updated to reflect this.
- Uses a temporary, clean, per-test-process directory for minio data
- Runs a separate minio instance for each test process
- Unskips minio-based tests in CI
While using `OpenStruct` is nice, it’s generally not a very good idea as
it usually leads to performance problems.
The `OpenStruct` source code even says basically to avoid it.
Since the context object is crucial in our services, this patch replaces
`OpenStruct` with a custom implementation instead.
`track_sql_queries` only returned queries that were executed by
ActiveRecord. All queries executed through DB.exec, DB.query and others
were not returned.
This is a follow-up of d749227e87bfc5df96a5b2fbace7601a83351633.
This patch checks if the key `not_found` is present on the result object
instead of calling `#blank?` on the model, as it can trigger an
`ActiveRecord` relation.
This has been split out from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28051
so we can use this same code in plugin specs before merging the core PR,
adds some helpers for creating local backup temp files
and cleaning them up.
