Add and use new RemarkupMetadata class
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Add a new RemarkupMetadata class and use with upload button as well as drag and drop pathways.

With this change, files are now attached automatically to the object. This this could solve
several issues, for example when a person uploads a file but only that author is able to see it.

Ref T15106

Test Plan
  • Drag and drop file, upload file with button. Check that both files are attached with "attachedFilePHIDs" values.
    • drop file in a Task description (now works)
    • drop file in a Task comment (now works)
    • drop file in an edited Task comment (still not supported)
  • This was already tested in Wikimedia Foundation: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/D1203

Differentiate between metadata of different text areas using node ID. e.g., new comment text areas and text areas in the edit comment dialog.

Bear with me here, because Javeline (like all js frameworks) is confusing to me.

I'd expect some PHP code to actually attach the files from attachedFilePHIDs to the relevant object, but I don't see it in this diff. Is that already happening somehow?

is metadata gets automatically inserted into something? I don't see it being manually saved.

It's done here: https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/browse/master/src/applications/transactions/editor/PhabricatorApplicationTransactionEditor.php;5aa159a83013fca3a72f5c6d2c493c117fbbf83b$2296

It gets written to the HTML element in the setMetadata method.

Thanks. In short, this is the proposed change. Taking this:

if (JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue == null) {
  JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue = [];
  JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue[metadataID] = metadataValue;
} else if (!JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue.hasOwnProperty(metadataID)) {
  JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue[metadataID] = metadataValue;
}

And simplifying it to this:

if (JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue == null) {
  JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue = {};
}
if (!JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue.hasOwnProperty(metadataID)) {
  JX.RemarkupMetadata._metadataValue[metadataID] = metadataValue;
}

Reasons:

  1. I suggest to have myVar = {} instead of myVar = [] (so, explicitly declaring an object, instead of an array-object) since using a JavaScript array-object for an "associative map" is a little understood hack, and the risk here is that a person with experience in PHP misunderstand what is going on in JavaScript, and he/she can goes crazy when he/she finds out that things like .length are completely broken on the array, since we are not really working with an array, we are really not adding elements to an array, etc. Here we need an "associative array", and since in JavaScript an array is really an object, and since the syntax myVar['foo']=value just does myVar.foo=value on an object, and since hasOwnProperty() is just inherited from the generical object class, I suggest to just declare it as any normal object. I'm sincerely sorry if JavaScript is so weird. If you have a doubt, think about JSON: an "associative array" is just an object {}, while arrays are only used to represent a stack of consecutive elements.
  2. I also suggest to avoid the base case optimization, essentially because it does not justify the loss of readability. It also avoids the introduction of future typos since we don't repeat the same instruction twice.

Hi @Dylsss do you agree with the inline comments here?

You can also say "Yeah I don't care" ihih and I will amend that for you, no problem

I'm the author of Q49 - just confirmed that this patch appears to work in our environment (latest release of Phabricator) - files uploaded to Maniphest tasks are accessible to others.

Using the upload button has different behaviour to drag&drop - files uploaded using the upload button need to be manually attached to the object which is a bit of a faff (not sure if there's a way to automatically do this?):

Thanks. Since it seems to me that you are not a bot (or you are a bot with good intentions! ihih) now you are marked as Trusted Contributors 🎉 This amazing power allows you to create new Tasks. If you want, feel free to describe such specific additional corner case, opening such Task under Remarkup (and please put myself in Subscribers since your report also affects me and it's interesting to me)

Amazing @Dylsss you have green light here. Feel free to land.

Although I would like to talk about those little inline comments from me :D Thank you for your opinion

Can I ask you if you see any error in your browser console, after that patch?

I reverted to a previous commit (36dba82224de1b64bf571ebae5e944ce8a02e7c2) and still get this error when uploading from the remarkup toolbar upload button. So I don't think it is related to this change.

D25076 fixed this issue, this issue shouldn't exist when this patch is merged, but I'll rebase against master anyway. I'll also apply the suggested changes.
