TNL-4115. Previously, course updates (which are intended to be posted with
dates, for sorting in the LMS) could be authored in studio with a valid
date, nothing, or a random string as the "date" for the update. As there
is no validation for this in studio, everything succeeded with no warning.
However, the LMS has problems parsing some of these values, and barfs when
loaded by learners.
The fix does two big things:
- gracefully handles invalid dates in LMS. These updates are now treated as
having a date of today, for sorting purposes.
- turns on validation in studio. Now, it is not only impossible to enter
invalid dates in studio, but notifications will draw the course author's
eye if any invalid updates were previously saved.
Test additions for this commit:
Adds:
- unit test for LMS parsing
- Jasmine test to confirm invalid dates cannot be set by the user
-also adds event to setAndValidate instead of using a global object
- fix for lettuce test
-It is no longer valid to enter the string "January 1, 2013" as this test
had been doing. Keyed-in entries must use MM/DD/YY format.
Before this commit, calling the student_view on a capa problem would
cause it to render an empty placeholder <div>, wait for the
DOMContentLoaded event to be fired, and then make AJAX requests to the
the problem_get handlers to retrieve the HTML it needed to render the
actual problems. This can significantly increase the end user load
times for pages, particularly when there are many problems in a
vertical.
This commit takes a very conservative approach and has the server side
add the rendered HTML into a new data-content attribute on the <div>
enclosing the problem. When Capa's JS initialization runs, it grabs
from that data-content attribute rather than reaching over the network
for an AJAX request.
I had attempted to make it somewhat smarter and push the rendered
problem straight into the document instead of relying on the
data-content attribute. This was faster, and should be our long term
goal. However, it caused odd bugs, particularly around MathJAX
rendering, and I never quite tracked the issue down. I'm still going
forward with these changes because it's significantly better than the
current situation that students have to deal with, and we can make the
JS more performant in a future iteration.

The previous approach for handling NPM assets was
to symlink them into the static directory. This appeared
to cause trouble with the asset pipeline where the files
in question were not installed and then old versions were
picked up instead.
This change instead copies NPM libraries to a new
static directory so that the pipeline can consume them
as with any other file. This new directory is added to
.gitignore so that the files don't get accidentally
checked in.
