This patch rounds off change I29740fa7a by replacing calls to EventLogging's
eventLog.logEvent with calls to VisualEditor's ve.track. ve.track publishes
events by providing an interface, ve.trackRegisterHandler, which event handlers
use to subscribe to VisualEditor events. By making it the responsibility of the
web analytics framework to register itself as a handler, VisualEditor can
remain decoupled from (and indeed ignorant of) any particular event logging
implementation. This allows VisualEditor to be integrated with many different
web analytics platforms with nothing more than a bit of glue code for mapping
ve's event semantics to those of the target platform.
The practical difference that this makes is that it frees VisualEditor from
having to know about EventLogging or from having to load EventLogging
components, which means we can remove quite a lot of gnarly code. My current
plan is to migrate the code for registering and loading the 'Edit'
schema module to Extension:CoreEvents, which is also where I'll commit the
handler for VE events. (CoreEvents exists precisely to provide an organized
place for persistent but WMF-particular instrumentation.)
Once this patch is merged and deployed, the following two configuration
variables may be removed from mediawiki-config:
- $wgVisualEditorEnableSplitTest
- $wgVisualEditorEnableEventLogging

Follows-up ced2a8a which moved the tab layout to the server-side
and changed it to set up "source" tab and section links always
everywhere (even if VE would not be availabe in the namespace
or browser).
The JS logic (which continues to exist to take care of pages
cached before we moved it to PHP and/or to fix up pages cached
with a different configuration in the future) didn't do this yet
causing the "Edit source" tab to inconsistently appear on pages
for anonymous users viewing pages where VE is not available.

* Generate the edit tabs and the section edit links in PHP, with a
fallback in JS for cases where we don't have them yet due to
caching. But only change things if VE is enabled, and have the JS
correct the state if the wrong cached HTML comes through.
* Make the order of the tabs/links and the messages to use as captions
configurable
* Make the edit tabs and section edit links always be present in the
page (regardless of namespace, user prefs, etc.) but be hidden and
have JS unhide them (using html.ve-available) if appropriate
* Add appendix messages so we can do a superscript "beta" even in places
where we can't use HTML in the message
VisualEditor.php:
* Add new hook registrations
* Remove edit link caption messages from the init init module because
they're now added dynamically in VisualEditor.hooks.php
* Add a noscript CSS module so we can hide some things in JS-less
environments
* Remove $wgVisualEditorTabLayout and replace it with
$wgVisualEditorPosition
* Add config vars for link captions, with null causing us to use
the default caption
* Add config vars for link caption appendices. Too many config vars
but we'll clean that up later
VisualEditor.hooks.php:
* Dynamically add tab messages to the init init module
* Remove unused globals in onBeforePageDisplay()
* Add noscript CSS module
* Add a SkinTemplateNavigation hook that changes and reorders the edit
tabs as appropriate
* Add a DoEditSectionLink hook that overwrites the edit section links
* Export the new config variables to JS
VisualEditor.i18n.php:
* Add beta appendix message
* Add a message for the default VE edit section link
ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.init.css:
* Remove the animation on the edit section links
* Darken the color of the brackets and the pipe from #ccc to #555
* Style the beta message to be superscript-like (but not real <sup> to
avoid moving the baseline)
ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.noscript.css:
* Hide the VE edit tab, the pipe and the VE edit section link initally
unless and until JS unhides
ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.init.js:
* Toggle .ve-not-available / .ve-available
* Edit tabs
** Only generate the the edit tabs if they're not already there from PHP
** Rewrite the edit tab generation to mirror what's being done in PHP
* Section edit links
** Same as for edit tabs
** Also add mw-visualeditor-expanded to pad the brackets
ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.js:
* #ca-ve-edit is now always the VE tab (and #ca-edit always the
edit source tab) so update the .selected behavior accordingly

Added wgIsArticle to isViewPage checks, otherwise we were attempting
to load VE dynamically on Special:Move/Delete, which resulted in a
broken h1 title and odd behavior off the 'Read' tab.
Also added !wgIsArticle to pageExists. This is a bit of a hack because
we don't have any info on page existence in the JS on these pages
(I think?). But it's better to display 'Edit' for a page that doesn't
exist, than 'Create' for a page that does.

Though this is already handled by Ie50b63ba5064e85d26 for the
server-side, and that should automatically reflect to the
client-side. Since we're dealing with cache conditions in
wmf-production where the user.options manifest does not yet
contain an entry for these relatively new preferences, lets
transfer the default value here as well. This does not affect
logged-in users (since their user options are always up-to-date
and embedded in the page).
Also made ve.support.es5 be casted to boolean. Previously it
would be a reference to JSON.stringify (if supported), or the
bottom value of whichever feature the browser didn't support.
Doesn't change any behaviour but should make things slightly
more performant when this value is evaluated.

On browsers that implement the Navigation Timing API, performance.now()
provides values with microsecond precision that are guaranteed to be monotonic
(i.e., they are not subject to skew due to changes to the system clock).
This patch adds a `ve.now` utility function that will use this API when it is
available and fall back gracefully to `Date.now` when it is not.

Opera 12 seems to work well enough, but I'm not confident enough to
whitelist it just yet.
Opera 15 is basically Chrome with a different interface, so it should
work perfectly, but it's barely out of beta and untested right now.

Server-side, plugins can register themselves by adding to
$wgVisualEditorPluginModules. This is the recommended way for
MW extensions to extend VE. Client-side, plugins can register
themselves through mw.libs.ve.addPlugin(), which takes a string
(RL module name) or a callback.
When VisualEditor loads, we load the registered plugin modules in
parallel with ext.visualEditor.core. Note that they're loaded in
parallel, not after, and so the plugins should explicitly depend
on ext.visualEditor.core if they use or extend classes in VE core.
Once the modules finish loading and user and site scripts have run,
we execute the registered plugin callbacks. These callbacks can
optionally return a promise. We gather these promises and wait for
all of them to be resolved, then initialize the editor.
This allows Gadgets to extend VE by top-loading a small module that
depends on ext.visualEditor.viewPageTarget.init and calls
mw.libs.ve.addPlugin( 'ext.gadget.bottomHalfGadget' ); , the bottom
half being a hidden Gadget that depends on ext.visualEditor.core and
contains the actual code. The addPlugin() call needs to be in a
top-loading module because otherwise there's no guarantee that the
plugin will be registered before the user clicks edit and VE loads.
User and site scripts can extend VE by simply calling addPlugin()
directly, as mw.libs.ve is already present when user scripts run (since
it's top-loaded) and VE waits for 'user' and 'site' to run before
executing plugins.
If user/site scripts need to load additional JS files, they can load
these with $.getScript() and return the corresponding promise:
mw.libs.ve.addPlugin( function() { return $.getScript( 'URL' ); } );
For a diagram of all this, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:VE-plugin-infrastructure.jpg :)
VisualEditor.php:
* Add $wgVisualEditorPluginModules
VisualEditor.hooks.php:
* Expose $wgVisualEditorPluginModules in JS
ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.init.js:
* Add mw.libs.ve.addPlugin function that just stores the registered
values in an array and passes them into the mw.Target when it's
being initialized
ve.init.mw.Target.js:
* Add $wgVisualEditorPluginModules to the set of modules to load when
initializing VE
* Add a Deferred (this.modulesReady) to track module loading
* Add addPlugin() and addPlugins() methods that add to either
this.modules or this.pluginCallbacks
* In load(), instead of mw.loader.load()ing this.modules, use using()
to load this.modules plus user and site, and fire onModulesReady()
when they're loaded
* In onModulesReady(), execute the registered callbacks, gather the
returned promises, wait for all of them to be resolved, then resolve
this.modulesReady
* Fire onReady based on this.modulesReady being resolved, rather than
using a second using() call

This preference will allow users to opt-out of VisualEditor during the beta
if they so choose. We do not re-use the alpha enablement flag because (a) this
would lead to a confusing preference description, and (b) because opting in
and then out of the alpha is not the same user choice as opting out of the
beta period.

Load the module always and have the conditionals on the
client-side so that we can change these without running into
problems with the new conditions not being rolled-out quickly
for anonymous users because the load queue is in the HTML
and cached for 30+ days.
This also allows us to fix above problem retroactively in wmf
production by just adding a mw.loader.load for this module
in something like MediaWiki:Common.js or something else that is
already in the cached load queue (temporarily, until the cache
has rolled over).
Removed unreachable code for loading ext.visualEditor.splitTest.

not just whether mw.libs.ve is present but also whether it
allows the user to activate VisualEditor.

The presence check used to be against the VE global, but we
recently made that impossible without providing an alternative.
Though by accident, mw.libs.ve has become the new way to check
for presence.

Firefox 13 and 14 were the cause of links magically turning into [[./Foo]].
Once the immediate rush of deployment is over, we'll want to investigate as
to why and hopefully find a way to unblacklist FF.

The handler for the Edit tab already is in this conditional,
for edit section we were making the assumption that they only
ever appear on a view page, but that's wrong. They're also shown
on a diff against the latest revision of the page.
Bug: 50925
Change-Id: I802e548cbcdc03cfca66129466668854604bc3e7
Since we're now only loading the light-weight init on page load,
the section editing wasn't just deferred to after page load (like
it was before), but wasn't happening at all until you clicked
"Edit" (at which point the library loads). It only worked when
going back to "View" after "Edit".
Contrary to tab layout, edit section handling needs to be
accessible both in the top init and in the main target class
because we need to run it both at run time and after the user
has saved a page when we show them the updated page without
refresh. This is why we need to transfer the method at run time
and give the main class access to it as well.
Can't wait for bug 50707 to get rid of this mess...

Initialisation initialisation? It's time to rename ve.init
to ve.platform and ve.init.Platform to ve.platform.Environment,
but that'll come later.
* Moved support detection and skin set up to separate class-less
file.
* Swapped usage of ve.msg for mw.msg.
* Callback of edit tab now does an mw.loader call to fetch
the actual VisualEditor libraries.
Though mw.loader won't load the same thing twice, we would
bind a callback each time. To avoid instantiating ViewPageTarget
more than once we use a Deferred.
