Push notifications was only ever setup to connect to Parse.com a service
that has been discontinued. Since we haven't replaced the functionality
for a few years now, remove this dead code.
In cms/templates/js/course_info_update.underscore we're allowing content
to not be escaped because this is by design according to the tests.
Long term there should be a better fix for this but for now this is
intended behavior.
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-It is no longer valid to enter the string "January 1, 2013" as this test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.
