SkinMustache in core provides most of what is required for Vector to
generate its menus. In the interest of having a canonical source of
truth for menus across all skins, Vector should use this data.
To ensure the HTML generated is (mostly) the same after this patch to
prior, a few modifications are necessary:
* The data from core is decorated so that Vector can continue having its
own custom class names on menus. This is done using the
decoratePortletClass method.
* There is no support for a menu having a header representing the
selected menu item, as is currently the case with variants. This is
achieved via an extension to getPortletData. It's assumed that later
when variants are merged with languages, this can be removed.
* Menus are agnostic to how they are displayed, so we must continue to
add the is-dropdown template variable to drop down menus. In future we
may want to rethink our Menu partial to make this unnecessary in PHP.
* The portal-first class is redundant in the modern Vector as we can
use the first-child selector. Previously we introduced a class to
service the legacy skin where this rule doesn't apply as #p-logo is
the first child. However, the legacy skin can do this using a special
next sibling selector instead.

Drop support for vectorMenu, vectorTabs and
vectorMenuCheckbox, body, menu selectors in preference
for standard selectors.
This change will impact a large amount of user scripts/styles but should
not impact any gadgets.
These classes were kept around for user scripts and styles however are not
needed internally. As we transition to a more maintainable skin menu
system, it is time to lose these selectors even though this will cause
disruption.
Vector now will use the mw-portlet class rather than the vector-menu
class in its own CSS styling, however it keeps the other classes to
allow differentiation of the different types of menu.
Changes to test: Previously the tests assumed all portlets were empty
when checking the classes. This is very rare, so its better to check
the classes of non-empty portlets, so several tests are updated
accordingly to drop the emptyPortlet class.

I177dad88 introduced the skin version user preference field and
associated configuration values. Per T242381, the field is to presented
as a checkbox with the implied storage type of a boolean where a string
is needed. A PreferencesFormPreSave hook handler was added to adapt
values of either data type to the other. While this was a neat solution
to a minor nit, the adapter's implementation is incompatible with the
GlobalPreferences extension as the PreferencesFormPreSave hook isn't run
whilst saving global preferences.
Rather than adding an equivalent hook to the GlobalPreferences
extension, create a custom field based on a checkbox with the adapter
included. This allows us to:
- Separate the business logic concerned with preserving the user's
VectorSkinVersion preference if they've simply disabled Vector from
the adapter
- Simplify the adapter's implementation
- Forego adding hooks to the GlobalPreferences codebase
Additional changes:
- Replace repeated string literals with equivalent constants in
tests/phpunit/integration/VectorHooksTest.php

This hook is run on every page. The SkinTemplateNavigation hook
counter intutively is run only on pages which can exist. I think
it's clearer if we only use SkinTemplateNavigation::Universal hook
and keep the logic for when it runs inside our own code.

The feature manager abstracts away how a feature is enabled from the
consumer of that feature. Accordingly, replace direct instantiation of
SkinVersionLookup with usage of the Vector.FeatureManager service.
Supporting changes:
- Add Vector\VectorServices, a simple wrapper around
MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices that allows us to both document and
type-hint services specific to Vector
- Add Vector\Hooks::isSkinVersionLegacy to minimise repetition
Additional changes:
- Make the MakeGlobalVariablesScript hook handler return early if the
user isn't using the Vector skin like the other hook handlers

In PHP we add collapsible classes to all elements except watchstar
so that certain tabs can be collapsed under the more menu in JS.
This adds unnecessary complexity to our codebase and is not used
if JS is disabled.
To simplify this and bring Vector's PHP consistency with core this
logic is moved to JavaScript.

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.

* 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

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:

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

- Register an instance of LatestSkinVersionRequirement and register the
'LatestSkin' feature that requires that requirement

Bug: T244481
Change-Id: If6b82a514aa5afce73e571abdd8de60b16a62fa8
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.

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.

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.
