With the removal of the (standalone) Firefox building code in PR 9566 (a year and a half ago), these files are now completely unused.
Hence it doesn't really make sense to keep building them as part of `gulp locale`, and the existing files in the `l10n` folder can also be removed (thanks to version control, they're easy enough to restore should the need ever arise).
The following is printed with every build, which gets kind of annoying when looking at the logs:
```
Replace Autoprefixer browsers option to Browserslist config.
Use browserslist key in package.json or .browserslistrc file.
Using browsers option cause some error. Browserslist config
can be used for Babel, Autoprefixer, postcss-normalize and other tools.
If you really need to use option, rename it to overrideBrowserslist.
Learn more at:
https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist#readmehttps://twitter.com/browserslist
```
Given how we're using Autoprefixer, with a number of build-specific configs, simply changing the option name seems like the easiest solution here.
(I'm also adding a couple of newlines at the `autoprefixer` call-sites, to aid readability.)
Compared to the recently replaced `URL` polyfill, the new `ReadableStream` polyfill isn't being exported globally for two reasons:
- We're currently checking for the existence of a global `ReadableStream` implementation when determining if the Fetch API will be used; please see `isFetchSupported` in the src/display/display_utils.js file.
- Given that it's much newer functionality (compared to `URL`) and that not all browsers may implement all parts of the specification yet, not exposing the `ReadableStream` globally seems safer for now.
Note how at https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/api/ it's being described as API docs, however `src/core/annotation.js` is not part of the public API.
Furthermore, given that the code residing in the `src/core/` folder is run in a worker-thread, it's not even accessible on the main-thread (since `postMessage` is being used to transfer the data).
Hence the different API methods simply returns a "proxy" to the underlying data, but not actually the same objects and data structures as in the worker-thread itself; thus it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to expose this in API docs as far as I'm concerned.
Finally, the patch fixes a small JSDoc related typo in `src/display/api.js` when referring to the `TextStyle` typedef.
The generated `default_preferences.json` file is necessary when initializing the Firefox preferences, which only supports certain types, hence this patch adds additional validation to help prevent run-time errors in Firefox.
Given that these changes add a code-path to `AppOptions.getAll` which could throw, the `OptionKind.PREFERENCE` branch is also modified to require *exact* matching to prevent (future) errors in the viewer.
Finally the conditionally defined `defaultOptions` will no longer (potentially) be considered during the `gulp default_preferences` task, to make it more difficult for them to be accidentally included.
In order to, quickly, unblock future Webpack updates this patch implements a *temporary* work-around for the regression; please refer to issue 10177 for additional details.
Please note that this patch doesn't require *any* changes to the source code, but only (small) build-time changes to `gulpfile.js` and as such will be easy to revert.
Currently any editing of the preferences require updates in *three* separate files, which isn't a great developer experience to say the least.
This has annoyed me sufficiently to write this patch, which moves the definition of all preferences into `AppOptions` and adds a new `gulp` task to generate the `default_preferences.json` file for the builds where it's needed.
Based on the discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1521413, this patch simply removes the `ReadableStream` polyfill completely from MOZCENTRAL builds.
With this patch, the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target is thus further reduced (building on PR 10470):
| | `build/mozcentral`
|-------|-------------------
|master | 3 339 666
|patch | 3 209 572
With https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1505122 landing in Firefox 65, the native `ReadableStream` implementation is now enabled by default in Firefox.
Obviously it would be nice to simply stop bundling the polyfill in MOZCENTRAL builds altogether, however given that it's still possible to disable[1] `ReadableStream` this is probably not a good idea just yet.
Nonetheless, now that native support is available, it seems unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep bundling the polyfill twice[2] in MOZCENTRAL builds. Hence this patch, which contains a suggest approach for packing the polyfill in a *separate* file which is then *only* loaded if/when needed.
With this patch, the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target is thus reduced accordingly:
| | `build/mozcentral`
|-------|-------------------
|master | 3 461 089
|patch | 3 340 268
Besides the PDF.js files taking up less space in Firefox this way, the additional benefit is that there's (by default) less code that needs to be loaded and parsed when the PDF Viewer is used which also cannot hurt.

[1] In `about:config`, by toggling the `javascript.options.streams` preference.
[2] Once in the `build/pdf.js` file, and once in the `build/pdf.worker.js` file.
This required the following changes in the Gulpfile:
- Defining a series of tasks is no longer done with arrays, but with the
`gulp.series` function. The `web` target is refactored to use a
smaller number of tasks to prevent tasks from running multiple times.
- Getting all tasks must now be done through the task registry.
- Tasks that don't return anything must call `done` upon completion.
Moreover, this upgrade allows us to use the latest Node.js on Travis CI
again.
This patch does three things:
- Updates the `gulp unittestcli` command, using `gulp lint` as a guide, such that it can be run locally on Windows without any modifications.
- Updates the `gulp lib` command to support disabling of Babel through the `SKIP_BABEL` environment variable. Note that all other build targets support this mode, and there's no good reason for `lib` to be any different here.
- Updates the `npm test` command, used in Node.js/Travis, to test the code as-is test. Since modern Node.js versions seem to have no problems with ES6 compatible code in general, we should just test the source code as-is instead (similar to the tests running on the regular bots).
Update configuration to work with Babel 7
Explicitly require globals - eslint-plugin-mozilla needs it, but doesn't require it on its own.
Fix Regexp to match Babel 7's inlined _interopRequireDefault
For proof-of-concept, this patch converts a couple of `Promise` returning methods to use `async` instead.
Please note that the `generic` build, based on this patch, has been successfully testing in IE11 (i.e. the viewer loads and nothing is obviously broken).
Being able to use modern JavaScript features like `async`/`await` is a huge plus, but there's one (obvious) side-effect: The size of the built files will increase slightly (unless `SKIP_BABEL == true`). That's unavoidable, but seems like a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.
Finally, note that the `chromium` build target was changed to no longer skip Babel translation, since the Chrome extension still supports version `49` of the browser (where native `async` support isn't available).
This moves/exposes the `URL` polyfill similarily to the existing `ReadableStream` polyfill, rather than exposing it globally, to avoid interfering with any "outside" code.
Both the `URL` and `ReadableStream` polyfills are now exposed on the `pdfjsLib` object, such that they are accessible to the viewer components.
Furthermore, the `no-restricted-globals` ESLint rule is also enabled to prevent accidental usage of the native `URL`/`ReadableStream` implementations directly in the `src/` and `web/` folders; see also https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals
Addresses the remaining TODO in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/projects/6
Please note that the standalone `pdf.image_decoders.js` file will be including the complete `src/shared/util.js` file, despite only using parts of it.[1] This was done *purposely*, to not negatively impact the readability/maintainability of the core PDF.js code.
Furthermore, to ensure that the compatibility is the same in the regular PDF.js library *and* in the the standalone image decoders, `src/shared/compatibility.js` was included as well.
To (hopefully) prevent future complaints about the size of the built `pdf.image_decoders.js` file, a few existing async-related polyfills are being skipped (since all of the image decoders are completely synchronous).
Obviously this required adding a couple of pre-processor statements, but given that these are all limited to "compatibility" code, I think this might be OK!?
---
[1] However, please note that previous commits moved `PageViewport` and `MessageHandler` out of `src/shared/util.js` which reduced its size.
Since the tests (currently) run with the `pdf.worker.js` file built, i.e. with `PRODUCTION = true` set, there's no simple way to add e.g. `assert` calls for both non-production *and* test-only builds without also affecting PRODUCTION builds.
To avoid having to manually update the "shared files" list in `gulpfile.js`, whenever any changes are made to the file structure in the `src/shared/` folder, let's simply list the files we do *not* want instead.
Given that the excluded files have been consistent ever since the `lib` build target was added, this patch should help avoid unnecessary churn in `gulpfile.js` in the future.
Jasmine had a major version bump and required a few minor changes in our
booting code. Most notably, using `pending` in a `describe` block is no
longer supported, so we can only return early there. On the positive
side, the unit tests now run in a random order by default, which
eliminates any dependencies between unit tests.
Note that upgrading to Webpack 4 is out of scope for this patch since
the bots cannot work well with the newly generated bundles (both
browsers on both bots do not react within 120 seconds). Webpack 4 is not
faster for us than Webpack 3, so for now there is no need to upgrade.
Please note that this build target, and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file, is equivalent to setting the `PDFJS.disableWorker` option to `true` which is a performance footgun.
These were removed in PR 9170, since they were unused in the browsers that we'll support in PDF.js version `2.0`.
However looking at the output of Travis, where a subset of the unit-tests are run using Node.js, there's warnings about `btoa` being undefined. This doesn't appear to cause any errors, which probably explains why we didn't notice this before (despite PR 9201).
The `gulp-util` module is now deprecated and authors are asked to stop
using it (refer to https://medium.com/gulpjs/gulp-util-ca3b1f9f9ac5 for
more information).
PDF.js does not rely on it that much, fortunately, so it's relatively
easy for us to remove the dependency. This patch does that by making the
following changes:
- Require `gulp-zip` version 4.1.0 or higher since they already removed
their `gulp-util` dependency in that version.
- Replace `gulp-util.log` with the `fancylog` module as recommended in
the article above.
- Replace `gulp-util.File` with the `Vinyl` module as recommended in the
article above.
The only change I had to make for Vinyl is removing the `base` and `cwd`
lines since they may not be empty strings anymore. This way we fall back
to the defaults Vinyl provides, which for us doesn't matter since we
move the file afterwards anyway. Moreover, I used `vfs` for `vinyl-fs`
in the `Gulpfile` to avoid confusion with `vinyl` (which is also how the
documentation names the variable).
This is all we can do on our side; the other modules that still use
`gulp-util` must be updated upstream.
Nothing uses this option anymore, so setting it is a no-op now. We can
safely remove it.
Use `SKIP_BABEL` (instead of `PDFJS_NEXT`) now if you want to skip Babel
translation for a build.
To support this, the following changes have to be made as well:
- Ignore `package-lock.json` since NPM creates it, but we should not
have it in the repository.
- Switch from `babel-preset-es2015` to `babel-preset-env` to resolve
the deprecation warning in the test logs. The latter is more recent
and flexible, but should be the same functionality-wise.
- `transform` now needs to have the `utf-8` encoding option provided.
If not given, it will call the callback with a `Buffer` object,
which results in an unhandled promise rejection since what is
returned from the callback is a string, not a `Buffer`.
Rather than (basically) duplicating the `SimpleLinkService` in `test/driver.js`, with potential test failuires if you forget to update the test mock, it seems much nicer to just re-use the viewer component.
Note that `SimpleLinkService` is already bundled into the `build/components/pdf_viewer.js` file. Hence we only need to expose it similar to the other viewer components in that file, and make sure that the `gulp components` command runs as part of the test-setup.
By updating to uglify-es, rather than uglify-js, the minifier *itself* now supports ES6 code. This means that it's now possible to minify code built with `PDFJS_NEXT = true` set, i.e. with Babel transpilation disabled, which wasn't the case previously.
Note that uglify-es is based on the API of uglify-js v3, which differs from the one that we previously used.
Of particular importance is the fact that it's no longer possible to provide a path to a file for minification, but one must instead directly provide the source of the file.

Use the environment's zlib implementation if available to get
reasonably-sized SVG files when an XObject image is converted to PNG.
The generated PNG is not optimal because we do not use a PNG predictor.
Futher, when our SVG backend is run in a browser, the generated PNG
images will still be unnecessarily large (though the use of blob:-URLs
when available should reduce the impact on memory usage). If we want to
optimize PNG images in browsers too, we can either try to use a DEFLATE
library such as pako, or re-use our XObject image painting logic in
src/display/canvas.js. This potential improvement is not implemented by
this commit
Tested with:
- Node.js 8.1.3 (uses zlib)
- Node.js 0.11.12 (uses zlib)
- Node.js 0.10.48 (falls back to inferior existing implementation).
- Chrome 59.0.3071.86
- Firefox 54.0
Tests:
Unit test on Node.js:
```
$ gulp lib
$ JASMINE_CONFIG_PATH=test/unit/clitests.json node ./node_modules/.bin/jasmine --filter=SVG
```
Unit test in browser: Run `gulp server` and open
http://localhost:8888/test/unit/unit_test.html?spec=SVGGraphics
To verify that the patch works as desired,
```
$ node examples/node/pdf2svg.js test/pdfs/xobject-image.pdf
$ du -b svgdump/xobject-image-1.svg
# ^ Calculates the file size. Confirm that the size is small
# (784 instead of 80664 bytes).

`__pdfjsdev_webpack__` was used to skip evaluating part of an AST,
in order to not mangle some `require` symbols.
This commit removes `__pdfjsdev_webpack__`, and:
- Uses `__non_webpack_require__` when one wants the output to
contain `require` instead of `__webpack_require__`.
- Adds options to the webpack config to prevent "polyfills" for
some Node.js-specific APIs to be added.
- Use `// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef` instead of `/* globals ... */`
for variables that are not meant to be used globally.

After PR 8459, the run-time of the various `gulp` test commands has regressed quite badly on Windows. For me, `gulp test` now takes approximately *twice* as long when run locally on Windows.
The problem seems to be the Babel transpilation step, which takes well over five minutes to run.[1]
For someone like me, who runs tests a lot locally, this slowdown is really hurting the overall development experience.
To get around this I tested setting `PDFJS_NEXT = true` in `gulpfile.js`, since the transpilation step isn't necessary when testing in a modern browser.
However, having to edit `gulpfile.js` every time that I need to run tests isn't very practical. Hence this patch, which adds an environment variable that allows you to disable the transpilation simply by using e.g. `PDFJS_NEXT=true gulp test`.
I hope that this can be considered an acceptable solution, such that I don't need to maintain this patch locally (or worse, edit `gulpfile.js` locally before testing).

[1] This can also be observed on the Windows bot, but it seems fine on Linux.
Also updates a `console.log` statement in the `gulp importl10n` command (since I forgot it in a previous patch, and it didn't seem necessary with a separate patch for it).
Added test for ReadableStream.
Adds ref-implementation license-header in streams-lib
and change gulp task to copy external/streams/ in build/
external/streams/ and build/dist/external/streams folder.
Adds README.md and LICENSE.md
Note that we have to use `fs.writeFileSync` since `.to()` is not
available anymore. Moreover, introduce `safeSpawnSync` to make sure that
we check the return codes of the spawned processes properly.
To run the regression tests, developers use `gulp browsertest` and the
bot uses `gulp bottest`. We're not passing the `noreftest` option
anywhere in the code (probably because the `bottest` command takes care
of this already), so we should remove this.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
Unfortunately, based on commit 9276d1dcd9, it seems that we still need to maintain compatibility with old Node.js versions, hence certain files/directories that are executed in Node.js are currently exempt from this rule.
Furthermore, since the files specific to the Chromium extension are not run through Babel, the `/extensions/chromium/` directory is also exempt from this rule.
With the exception of just one test-case, all the current `ui_utils` unit-tests can run successfully on Node.js (since most of them doesn't rely on the DOM).
To get this working, I had to first of all add a new `LIB` build flag such that `gulp lib` produces a `web/pdfjs.js` file that is able to load `pdf.js` successfully.
Second of all, since neither `document` nor `navigator` is available in Node.js, `web/ui_utils.js` was adjusted slightly to avoid errors.
pdfjschildbootstrap.js will always be run, but
pdfjschildbootstrap-enabled.js will only be run if PdfJs.enabled is
true. This will let us avoid some work in the child process in the
next patch.
This will need to be landed in the mozilla-central repository at the
same time as a change to nsBrowserGlue.js. See bug 1352218.
