Whenever an HTTP request sequence is started, i.e. wait for the fetch
start time, issue a network request, and return the result, abort the
process if the results are known to no longer be needed. This occurs
when a user has dwelt upon one link and then abandoned it either during
the fetch start wait time or during the fetch network request itself.
This change is accomplished by preserving the pending promises in two
actions, LINK_DWELL and FETCH_START, and whenever the ABANDON_START
action is issued, it now aborts any previously pending XHR-like promise,
called a "AbortPromise" which is just a thenable with an abort() method.
There is a similar concept in Core:
ecc812f06e/resources/src/mediawiki.api/index.js.
Aborting pending requests has big implications for client and server
logging as requests are quickly canceled, especially on slower
connections. These differences can be observed on the network tab of
DevTools and the log in Redux DevTools.
Consider, for instance, the scenario of dwelling upon and quickly
abandoning a single link prior to this patch:
BOOT EVENT_LOGGED LINK_DWELL FETCH_START ABANDON_START FETCH_END STATSV_LOGGED ABANDON_END EVENT_LOGGED FETCH_COMPLETE
And after this patch when the fetch timer is canceled (prior to an
actual network request):
BOOT EVENT_LOGGED LINK_DWELL ABANDON_START ABANDON_END EVENT_LOGGED
In the above sequence, FETCH_* and STATSV_LOGGED actions never occur.
And after this patch when the network request itself is canceled:
BOOT EVENT_LOGGED LINK_DWELL FETCH_START ABANDON_START FETCH_FAILED STATSV_LOGGED FETCH_COMPLETE ABANDON_END EVENT_LOGGED
FETCH_FAILED occurs intentionally, STATSV_LOGGED and FETCH_COMPLETE
still happen even though the fetch didn't complete successfully, and
FETCH_END doesn't.
Additionally, since less data is transmitted, it's possible that the
timing and success rate of logging will improve on low bandwidth
connections.
Also, this patch tries to revise the JSDocs where possible to support
type checking and fix a call to the missing assert.fail() function in
changeListener.test.js.

* New action added PREVIEW_SEEN
* The action will be used to signal that a page view needs
to be recorded.
* PREVIEW_SEEN is a delayed action which is triggered
as a side-effect of the previewShow action. It is only dispatched
if the user is still previewing the same card and the page
related to the card has preview type `page`
* The pageview changelistener is added when
$wgPopupsVirtualPageViews is set to true.
* The page view changelistener listens for page views and logs
them using EventLogging when needed using
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:VirtualPageView
Note:
* Currently if a user has enabled the DNT header, the
event will not be logged. There is ongoing discussion on the
ticket and fixing this will be addressed separately.
* Only title and referrer are logged in the initial version.
The task demands that "namespace" is logged but this information
is not provided by the summary endpoints we use so will need
to be added later (if indeed needed) either via a change to that
endpoint of by using JavaScript to parse the URL.

Functional changes
- Show the default / error preview for all extract request failures
except those due to network circumstances (such as CORS) or no
connectivity (offline). Previously, the error preview was displayed
only for missing pages.
- FETCH_COMPLETE was previously only dispatched after FETCH_END. Now
it's also dispatched after FETCH_FAILED. The additional "fetch
complete" is not expected to impact logging. The states of success
are: START, END, COMPLETE. The new failure states are consistent with
success: START, FAILED, COMPLETE.
Testing
Errors may be stimulated in a number of ways including:
- Timeout: add a timeout field to RESTBaseGateway /
MediaWikiGateway.fetch().
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
- Bad request: change MediaWikiGateway.fetch's action field to
`Math.random() > 0.5 ? 'query' : 'fail'` and RESTBaseGateway.fetch's
url field to
`RESTBASE_ENDPOINT + ( Math.random() > 0.5 ? encodeURIComponent( title ) : '%%%' )`.
- Desired Gateway can be configured in Gateway#createGateway().
- Note: T184534 describes a circumstance where cached previews may not
appear when offline. Disable browser caching to avoid confusion.

Changes:
* Wrap mw-node-qunit in run.js to register babel to transpile modules
for node v6
* Change all sources in src/ to use ES modules
* Change constants.js to be able to run without

* Change all tests in tests/node-qunit/ to use ES modules
* Drop usage of mock-require given ES modules are easy to stub with
sinon
Additional changes:
* Rename tests/node-qunit/renderer.js to renderer.test.js to follow

Given that interactions end up with an event logged, there shouldn't be
a reason to keep an interaction active after it's corresponding final
event has been logged. See Tbayer's state graph.
This patch removes the current interaction if an event with that token
is logged, effectively finalizing it and making it impossible for the
token to be reused from the state tree again.
Additional changes:
* Pass the logged event with the action EVENT_LOGGED so that the reducer
can determine if it needs to do anything else.
* Since the interaction is removed, when undefined, guard against
actions that use state.interaction freely. (Only allow BOOT,
LINK_PREVIEW, and EVENT_LOGGED)

If the user dwells on a link for long enough, then the gateway makes a
request, which is allowed to complete regardless of whether or not the
response is required.
If the user abandons the link but the request completes before the
abandon completes - currently, ABANDON_END_DELAY is 300 ms - then the
preview will be rendered temporarily.
Fix this by not rendering the preview if the user has started to abandon
the link.

I09d8776 introduced a bug in the eventLogging reducer where reducing

the interaction.

this action.

... the interaction.
Following on from Iccba3c4c, LINK_CLICK shouldn't be considered the end
of an interaction because the link or preview can still be abandoned by
the user. Unlike ABANDON_END and LINK_DWELL, therefore, LINK_CLICK
musn't destroy the interaction but indicate that no more events should
be enqueued for the interaction.
More concretely, if the user has clicked the link or the preview, then
a "dwelledButAbandoned" or "dismissed" event shouldn't be logged.
Changes:
* Distinguish between "finalizing" and "closing" an interaction, where
the latter is the current behavior of ABANDON_END, LINK_DWELL, and
LINK_CLICK, in the eventLogging reducer and associated tests.
* If the interaction is finalized, then either the "dwelledButAbandoned"
or "dismissed" events shouldn't be logged.

... in the eventLogging reducer.
Like ABANDON_END, the LINK_CLICK should be considered the end of the
interaction in the context of the EventLogging instrumentation, i.e. no
events should be logged after the user clicks the preview or the link.

Change-Id: Iccba3c4c2b6121016ff7923c11b1622bc046ad6b
Like the FETCH_COMPLETE and ABANDON_END actions, the PREVIEW_SHOW action
was delayed but not conditionally reduced. As ABANDON_END is delayed,
there's a potential for a race and if ABANDON_END is reduced before
PREVIEW_SHOW, then there's no interaction to reduce the action into,
which causes an error, e.g. T159490#3165276 and T162373. Making
PREVIEW_SHOW require a token stops the error occurring in this scenario.
An alternative would be to clear the timeout created in
ext.popups.Preview#show in #hide. However, this would be inconsistent
with actions#fetch and actions#abandon.

In the case of the eventLogging reducer, this fixes scenario 4.1 from

interaction had started.

Mixing in the delay was introduced in If3f1a06f so that the total RTT
for an API request could be calculated. Now that the FETCH_END action is
dispatched when the gateway request ends and not when the preview model
is resolved, this additional information (state) is redundant.
Change-Id: I7e6ffe0945ffedd9425525fa7da855e729d50b77
Ideally, the preview model is resolved after 500 ms, regardless of
whether the internal gateway takes 100 or 300 ms. Given this, there's an
important distinction to be made between the "fetch" ending and it
completing and their associated actions.
Changes:
* Dispatch the FETCH_COMPLETE action when the preview model is resolved.
* Update the reducers accordingly.

If the user abandons link A (or preview A) and immediately dwells on
link B, then log a "dismissed" or "dwelledButAbandoned" event.

is dispatched.

For logging to work:
1. $wgWMEStatsdBaseUri needs to point to a valid statsv endpoint,
e.g. 'https://en.wikipedia.org/beacon/statsv'.
2. $wgPopupsStatsvSamplingRate needs to be set. Note that the codebase
already contains the EventLogging functionality, which is configured
separately. Separately configuring different logging mechanisms
allows us to avoid sampling mistakes that may arise while choosing
one or the other. For example, let's say we want to use EventLogging for
10% of users and statsv for 5%. We'd sample all users into two
buckets: 50/50. And then we'd have to set the sampling rates as
20% and 10% respectively, only because of the bucketing above. To avoid
this kind of complications, separate sampling rates are used for each
logging mechanism. This, of course, may result in situations where a
session is logged via both EventLogging and statsv.
3. The WikimediaEvents extension needs to be installed. The extension
adds the `ext.wikimediaEvents` module to the output page. The
logging functionality is delegated to this module.
Notable changes:
* The FETCH_START and FETCH_END actions are converted to a timed action.
* The experiments stub used in tests has been extracted to the stubs
file.
