Please note I7e06a4cc226f3434c0f655212a464b8b98bcc7f4 should be
merged at the same time as this patch.
== The background ==
All extensions have been weaned of BaseTemplate hooks in
Wikimedia projects.
This change now means that Vector will no longer run
any BaseTemplate hooks. See the epic T253809 for the
implementation details.
== The change ==
BaseTemplate will now have nothing to do with the rendering of
Vector. The skin version is added to express the significance of
breaking compatibility with 3rd party extensions.
We TEMPORARILY remove SkinVector to retain git blame. SkinTemplateVector will
be renamed SkinVector in the follow up (see 2/2)
Update skin.json to use SkinTemplateVector for the skin (this will be fixed
in a follow up).
The isLegacy method is moved to SkinTemplateVector.
Changes of note:
* html-debuglog is no longer needed. SkinMustache includes this information on
the skins behalf
* html-printtail and html-headelement are now not needed in the master template
and added by SkinMustache
* Skin::getAfterPortlet does not provide the `after-portlet` wrapping element provided
by BaseTemplate::getAfterPortlet so this is added
* SkinTemplate::getFooterIcons does not support the options that BaseTemplate::getFooterIcons
does so any icons which do not have an image must be manually checked for and unset
Known changes to HTML output as a result of intentionally
delegating their output to the core SkinMustache class:
* A new line is removed between the body element and #mw-page-base
* #mw-html-debug-log now appears at the end of the body element
* #printfooter is now a child of #mw-content-text rather than sibling.

- Creates a new user-preference called 'VectorSidebarVisible'
which stores the sidebar hidden/collapsed state for logged-in
users.
- Updates that user-preference on the client whenever the sidebar
is expanded or collapsed.
- Refactors the sidebar related javascript into a separate file.

The .menu class historically only needs to apply to dropdowns.
the .vectorMenuCheckbox is inconsistent with the other classes on the
menu so we should begin its deprecation.

Use SkinTemplateNavigation hook instead and copy the collapsible
behavior to the menu function
The code inside getSkinData that checks VectorUseIconWatch is
redundant as it duplicates checks already inside
SkinTemplate::buildContentNavigationUrls
It is enough to simplify check whether watch or unwatch is
present in the array.

* Standardise the menu markup. This means all menus in Vector will now
be wrapped in a div and will have a heading.
* All menus now have the vector-menu class. Styles specific to personal tools
are moved to layout since these are concerned with placement.
* The ul class will always have menu class.
* emptyPortal class is generalised into vector-menu-empty for consistency
with other classes and moved from common.less into Menu.less
* Standardise hooks - BaseTemplateAfterPortlet can now be run on any
menu.
Changes to HTML:
* lang and dir attributes are moved from the h3 up to the div element
.vectorTabs, .portal(s) and #p-personal now has hidden span element inside h3
* for non portals ul.menu" is now wrapped in a div.vector-menu-content
This change does impact the following CSS selectors which will need to be updated:
I see no matches for these selectors in code search.
```
#p-variants > ul
#p-namespaces > ul
#p-personal > ul
#p-views > ul
#p-cactions > ul
```
Using global-search.toolforge.org I see one match
for p-variants, 26 for p-namespaces, 30 for p-personal,
36 for p-views and 7 for p-cactions. I see this as acceptable
breakage provided a user notice is sent out which it has been

To complete the refactor, the Portal is also refactored
as a Menu using the getMenu function.
An old code path supporting portals outputted by hooks with
strings is marked as deprecated to simplify this code in future.
array-portals-first -> data-portals-first (the value is not
an array)
Changes:
* $this->getLanguages and $this->getToolbox() always returns an array (see BaseTemplate)
but we previously supported portals made using raw HTML. Let's move away from that
behaviour and deprecate it.
* Hooks are moved into buildSidebarProps and marked as deprecated where possible
(SkinTemplateToolboxEnd). SidebarBeforeOutput can be used instead.

de76ab5 added the config,
`$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts`. Its usage in
`Hooks::onUserGetDefaultOptions()` was invoked not only for existing
accounts but anonymous users _as well._ This is a bug, due to my own
misconceptions about the hook, that went against both the config's name
and its documentation.
Unfortunately, user sessions are unavailable in
`Hooks::onUserGetDefaultOptions()` so it does not seem to be possible to
determine whether the active user is an anonymous or existing account.
This patch drops the hook and centralizes all version determination
logic in SkinVersionLookup::getVersion(). SkinVersionLookup requires a
the active User object and can make the anonymous / existing account
determination by checking login state.

Changes:
- Add the LatestSkinVersionRequirement requirement class, which lazily
evaluates the application state to get the version of the skin for the
request.
This majority of this class is taken from Stephen Niedzielski's
Vector\SkinVersionLookup class, which was introduced in d1072d0fdf.
- Register an instance of LatestSkinVersionRequirement and register the
'LatestSkin' feature that requires that requirement
- Re-introduce SkinVector::isLegacy and make it defer to the Feature
Manager

As described in the readme but not implemented until now, this patch
enables the skin version to be specified as a URL query parameter. This
is useful for testing both skin versions during development and on wiki,
as well as enabling sharing URLs with a specific skin (Vector) and skin
version (1 or 2).
Obtaining the actual skin version requires tying together three input
sources, WebRequest, User, and Config. It seems simple but it'd be easy
to botch. For this reason, a helper class to correctly interrogate them
and tests are provided.

This commit is singularly focused on adding a link to the sidebar for
Vector, logged-in users. It does the bare minimum to fulfill the
requirements of T243281.
Additionally, it will help to answer the question "Do we need to use
abstractions (other than maybe different templates) to separate Legacy
Vector from Vector" by intentionally leaving out any abstractions in
order to make it easier to compare with a follow-up patch
(Ib2ef15180df73360cc1de25b893e49d415d23e1a) which does use abstractions.
It is a good thing to question whether or not we need addtional
abstractions in VectorTemplate and if they will help us as unnecessary
abstractions can have the opposite effect and just lead to further
frustrations down the road.
Therefore, I urge you, the reviewer, to let me know your thoughts! If
abstractions are viewed as not making our lives any easier, the
follow-up patches may be completely discarded and that's totally okay
with me. :) I think it's a good think to talk about now though.
Important changes:
* The VectorTemplate constructor was changed to allow injecting the
config, templateParser, and isLegacy boolean (only the config was
allowed before this commit). According to MediaWiki's Stable Interface
Policy, "Constructor signatures are generally considered unstable unless
explicitly declared stable for calling" [3]. Given that VecorTemplate's
constructor is not marked as stable, it is justified to do this without
warning according to the policy.
* Due to the above, the 'setTemplate' method is no longer needed and was
marked as deprecated.
* VectorTemplateTest was made to adapt to the new VectorTemplate
constructor. Additionally, it now extends from
MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase which my intelliphense server can pick up.
I *think* MediaWikiTestCase is just an alias to
MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase [1] and MediaWikiTestCase file was renamed
to MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase in [2], but I'm willing to change it
back if there is pushback to this.
Open questions:
* What are VectorTemplate's responsibilities? To me, it acts right now
as a controller (because it echos the full HTML string from the
template), a model (because SkinTemplate::prepareQuickTemplate sets data
on it which it later retrieves through `$this->get()`), a presenter
(because it adds data tailored for a web-centric view), and a view
(because it renders HTML strings instead of letting the view/template be
solely responsible for that). Arguably, some business logic might be
mixed in there as well (because it checks to see if a User is logged
in/has necessary permissions to show x which my changes here add to).
This might not be a problem if we keep VectorTemplate relatively small,
but will it remain this way as we progress further in Desktop
Improvements?
* How do we write tests for VectorTemplate without exposing unnecessary
public methods? For example, if I want to test the `getSkinData()`
method to see what state will be sent to the template, how should I do
this? One option might be to use `TestingAccessWrapper` to expose these
private methods which is what
`VectorTemplateTest::testbuildViewsProps()` does. Another option is to
accept this method as public. Is there a better way? Keep in mind that
even with access to this method, there might be many things to mock.

We expect the vast majority of requirements and features to be defined
in services as possible. However, there are some "complex" requirements
that require additional application/HTTP request state. Unfortunately,
service wiring is done before some of that state is available.
I65702426 attempted to work around this by requiring clients of the
Feature Manager to pass that additional state on every interaction with
the system. Those complex requirements would then select the parts of
the state that they required when it was required. However
implementations of \IContextSource are God objects and their use should
be limited.
Whilst reviewing I65702426, Stephen Niedzielski mentioned that the
application state being available is a requirement. This remarkably
simple solution:
- Keeps the Requirement interface and FeatureManager API free of God
objects;
- Is true to the nature of the Feature Manager - it makes clear and
centralizes the various checks for application state being available
across the codebase; and
- Inject a Requirement implementations' dependencies at construction
time
It just so happens that the $wgFullyInitialised variable flags whether
the application state is available...
Changes:
- Add the the FeatureManager\Requirements\DynamicConfigRequirement class
and tests. The DynamicConfigRequirement lazily evaluates a single
configuration value whenever ::isMet is invoked
- Register an DynamicConfigRequirement instance, configured to evaluate
$wgFullyInitialised while constructing the Vector.FeatureManager
service

FeatureManager::registerRequirement established the interface for a
requirement: its name and whether it's met.
However, the Feature Manager also needs to handle scenarios where a
requirement needs additional context before it can be considered met.
That context may not be available when the application is booting, e.g.
checking if the user is logged in; or the logic is complicated enough
that it should be under test.
Changes:
- Add the Requirement interface and update FeatureManager to work with
implementations of it
- Maintain B/C by constructing an instance of a the SimpleRequirement
DTO

As was noted in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244481#5859513, the
term "set" doesn't seem natural. Piotr Miazga (polishdeveloper, pmiazga)
and Nicholas Ray (nray) suggested a number of good replacements,
including "requirement." Serendipitously, this term is already used in
FeatureManager's documentation.

Sections can be nested. Using rendering/skin as the parent
means that Vector's skin preference will always come straight
after the skin preference and before Popups.
A change in core is needed to update the selector for the element which
shows/hides the subsection as well as provide a generic message key to
replace the one inside this repository.
Note: If the "Vector" specific heading is needed, we can achieve this
with a little more work but that is a conversation for another time.

Moving all the templateParser calls to one function

The diff of changes to the stories folder highlight
the internal changes which are:

Add a Vector-specific user preference to Special:Preferences for
toggling skin version, either Legacy Vector or the latest Vector.
The presentation of the new preference section and the default values
for anonymous, new, and existing accounts are configurable via
$wgVectorShowSkinPreferences, $wgVectorDefaultSkinVersion (to be used by
the feature manager in T244481),
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts, and
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForNewAccounts. These configurations default
to the fullest experience so that third-party configuration is minimal.
See skin.json for details. The configurations are each tested in
VectorHooksTest.php.
When presentation is enabled, the new preference appears as a checkbox;
enabled is Legacy mode and disable is latest. There are a number of
unfortunate details:
- Showing and hiding a checkbox is supported by OOUI. Showing and hiding
a whole section (Vector skin preferences, in this case) is not so this
additional client JavaScript functionality is added in Core (see
Iaf68b238a8ac7a4fb22b9ef5d6c5a3394ee2e377).
- Stylization as a checkbox is wanted. However, the implied storage type
for OOUI checkboxes is a boolean. This is not wanted in the event that
another skin version is added (e.g., '3' or 'alpha'). As a workaround,
the preference is converted from a boolean to a version string ('1' or
'2') on save in Hooks::onPreferencesFormPreSave() and from a version
string to a checkbox enable / disable string ('1' or '0') in
onGetPreferences(). There a number of test cases to help cover these
concerning details.
Documentation for overriding the skin version as a URL query parameter
is provided in anticipation of T244481.

With complex additions to Vector's codebase like the Desktop Improvement
Program upcoming, it's important that we have a shared, intuitive
language to talk about features and their requirements. Centralising
the registration of features and creating an API satisfies does exactly
this.
This change introduces a greatly-reduced version of Piotr Miazga's
(polishdeveloper, pmiazga) original proposed API and associated
scaffolding classes for feature management in Vector, which itself was
based upon his work in MobileFrontend/MinervaNeue. This is done to
establish a foundation upon which we can build the more sophisticated
parts of Piotr's proposal in a piecemeal basis, thereby minimising risk.
Distinct from Piotr's proposed API is the ability to register sets and
features that are always enabled or disabled.
Additionally:
- A Vector.FeatureManager service is registered but not used
- A list of proposed immediate next steps is included
