With these changes SystemJS is now only used, during development, on the worker-thread and in the unit/font-tests, since Firefox is currently missing support for worker modules; please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687
Hence all the JavaScript files in the `web/` and `src/display/` folders are now loaded *natively* by the browser (during development) using standard `import` statements/calls, thanks to a nice `import-maps` polyfill.
*Please note:* As soon as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687 is fixed in Firefox, we should be able to remove all traces of SystemJS and thus finally be able to use every possible modern JavaScript feature.
As part of reducing our reliance on SystemJS in the development viewer, this patch replaces usage of `require` statements with modern standards `import`/`export` statements instead.
If we want to try and move forward with reducing usage of SystemJS, we don't have much choice but to make these kind changes (despite what prior test-results showed, however I'm no longer able to reproduce the issues locally).
As part of trying to reduce the usage of SystemJS in the development viewer, this patch is a necessary step that will allow removal of some `require` statements.
Currently this uses `SystemJS.import` in non-PRODUCTION mode, but it should be possible to replace those with standard *dynamic* `import` calls in the future.
Given that the `getPDFFileNameFromURL` helper function has a specific code-path for handling non-string inputs, this empty string fallback really isn't necessary at the call-site in `web/pdf_document_properties.js`.
Apparently the old link format used in MOZCENTRAL-builds, with the blob URL separated from the filename with a `?` character violates the specification; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632644#c5
Obviously just removing the `?`-part of the URL would have worked, but that would also have meant that we'd no longer be able to provide the correct filename when the user attempts to download the opened PDF attachment.
To fix this we'll instead append the filename in the hash-part of the URL, which however required using a *custom* hash-parameter to avoid triggering the fallback "named destination" code-paths in the viewer.
Note that only changing the `web/pdf_attachment_viewer.js` file wasn't sufficient to fix the bug, and we also need to tweak the `webViewerInitialized` function in `web/app.js` since MOZCENTRAL-builds used to ignore *everything* in the URL hash.
This particular code is very old, but changing it *should* be completely safe given that the `PDFViewerApplication.setTitleUsingUrl` method since some time now stores both the original URL (in `this.url`) as well as one without the hash (in `this.baseUrl`). The latter one is already used everywhere where it matters, so this change seem fine to me.
This patch thus restores the original behaviour for PDF attachments in the MOZCENTRAL-build, by once again allowing them to be opened *directly* in the browser without downloading. (The fallback added in PR 11845 is obviously kept, since it seems generally useful to have.)
Originally the `default_preferences.json` file was checked into the repository, and we thus needed to load it in non-PRODUCTION mode (which was originally done asynchronously using `XMLHttpRequest`). Over the years a lot has changed and the `default_preferences.json` file is now built, by the `gulp default_preferences` task, from the `web/app_options.js` file. Hence it's no longer necessary, in non-PRODUCTION mode, to use SystemJS here since we can simply use a standard `import` statement instead.
Note how e.g. `web/app.js` already imports from `web/app_options.js` in the same exact way that `web/preferences.js` now does, hence this patch will *not* result in any significant changes in the built/bundled viewer file.
This is another (small) part in trying to reduce usage of SystemJS, with the goal of hopefully getting rid of it completely. (I've started working on this, and doing so has identified a number of problem areas; this patch addresses one of them.)
This replaces some additional `require`/`exports` usage with standard `import`/`export` statements instead.
Hence another, small, part in the effort to reduce the reliance on SystemJS-specific functionality in the development viewer.
By re-factoring the existing gulp tasks, most of the code can be re-used for both the existing `gulp minified` as well as the new `gulp minified-es5` task.
While working on PR 11872, it occurred to me that it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change the `_parsedAnnotations` getter to handle errors individually for each annotation. This way, one broken/corrupt annotation won't prevent the rest of them from being e.g. fetched through the API.
Given that the `PDFLinkService.setHash` method itself if completely synchronous, moving the handling of "nameddest" to occur last *shouldn't* cause any problems (famous last words).
This way the destination will still override any previous parameter, such as e.g. the "page", as expected. Furthermore, given that the `PDFLinkService.navigateTo` method is asynchronous that should provide additional guarantees that the "nameddest" parameter is always respected.
As sort-of expected, this fairly innocent looking change also required some tweaks in the `PDFHistory` to prevent dummy history entires upon document load (only an issue when both "page" *and* "nameddest" parameters are provided in the hash).
This rule complements the existing `accessor-pairs` nicely, and ensures that a getter/setter pair is always consistently ordered.
Please find additional details about this rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/grouped-accessor-pairs
Having `assert` calls without a message string isn't very helpful when debugging, and it turns out that it's easy enough to make use of ESLint to enforce better `assert` call-sites.
In a couple of cases the `assert` calls were changed to "regular" throwing of errors instead, since that seemed more appropriate.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-syntax
This should ensure that a page will always render successfully, even if there's errors during the Annotation fetching/parsing.
Additionally the `OperatorList.addOpList` method is also adjusted to ignore invalid data, to make it slightly more robust.
All of the other *similar* helper functions only target one file per function, and there's no particular reason for this one to be different.
This patch will simplify future changes, e.g. experimenting with using `gulp watch` instead of SystemJS for the development viewer.
Not only is there no code depending on it now, the actual task itself doesn't even make sense as-is. Note that it uses the default `DEFINES` configuration *unaltered*, which is neither useful nor correct since the resulting build thus won't make sense without an actual built target set.
Given that none of the PDF.js contributors know React, maintaining and/or providing supporting for the example isn't really feasible unfortunately.
Even something as simple as running/testing the example becomes difficult for anyone completely unfamiliar with React, and furthermore:
- It's very difficult to tell if the example demonstrates React best-practices, since the PDF.js contributors don't know React.
- We also have no reasonable way of keeping the example up-to-date with changes in React.
- The React example, in its current form, is even *hard-coding* the PDF.js version to a now unsupported version.
- The example is currently triggering "fake worker" usage, see issue 11729, which is really *really* bad. Note that the "fake worker" functionality is *only* intended as a fallback, and it should absolutely *not* under any circumstances be advertised and certainly shouldn't be triggered in official PDF.js examples.
By preserving the exception type, more fine-grained error handling can be performed via client-side logic (e.g. redirect to a search page if a PDF is not found, or to a ticket system in case of invalid PDF files).
The original exception is now re-thrown.
Fixes#11658
We already rendered the name for radio buttons, but it was missing for
all other interactive form elements. This commit adds that so that
values entered in form elements can be read based on the element name.
To save time or resources during development it can be useful to run
tests only in Firefox. Previously this could be done by editing the
browser manifest file, but since that file is no longer used for
Puppeteer, this command line flag replaces it. For example, executing
`gulp unittest --noChrome` will only run the unit tests in Firefox.
This commit replaces our own infrastructure for handling browsers during
tests with Puppeteer. Using our own infrastructure for this had a few
downsides:
- It has proven to not always be reliable, especially when closing the
browser, causing failures on the bots because browsers were still
running even though they should have been stopped. Puppeteer should do
a better job with this because it uses the browser's test built-in
instrumentation tools for this (the devtools protocol) which our code
didn't. This also means that we don't have to pass
parameters/preferences to tweak browser behavior anymore.
- It requires the browsers under test to be installed on the system,
whereas Puppeteer downloads the browsers before the test. This means
that setup is much easier (no more manual installations and browser
manifest files) as well as testing with different browser versions
(since they can be provisioned on demand). Moreover, this ensures that
contributors always run the tests in both Firefox and Chrome,
regardless of which browsers they have installed locally.
- It's all code we have to maintain, so Puppeteer abstracts away how the
browsers start/stop for us so we don't have to keep that code.
By default, Puppeteer only installs one browser during installation,
hence the need for a post-install script to install the second browser.
This requires `cross-env` to make passing the environment variable work
on both Linux and Windows.
The other testing code already uses the name of the browser as the
unique identifier, so I don't see a good reason to not use that for
identifying browsers to quit as well. Doing so simplifies the (already
somewhat complex) testing logic and ensures that we can use existing
functionality (such as the `getSession` function) to retrieve sessions.
