* [editor-core] share the pieces the editor, real-time and history-v1 all need

Project-level history-OT has the browser, real-time and history-v1 all reason
about the same changes, so the rules they reason with move into the shared
library rather than being reimplemented on each side.

- `origin/editor_origin.js` plus `EDITOR_ORIGIN_KIND` and its schema entry: the
  origin an editor client's change carries, holding the editorId that scopes a
  change's timestamp.
- `change_identity.js`: how a submission is recognised when it comes back, so a
  resend of a change that already landed is deduplicated rather than applied
  twice.
- `rebase.js`: transforming a change onto concurrent ones, in the same order on
  both sides, which is what lets the server acknowledge a change with only the
  version it landed at.
- `text_file_defaults.js`: the doc-vs-file extension lists, now read from here
  by web's settings instead of being spelled out again.
- `blob_string_length.js`: the string length of a blob, used by history-v1's
  blob store and by web when it writes an uploaded file into history.
- `file_tree_diff.js`: file-tree operations to a diff, used by
  project-history's FileTreeDiffGenerator.
- `Blob.EMPTY_HASH`, so callers can answer for the empty blob without storing
  it.

* [project-history] build the file-tree diff with the shared helper

FileTreeDiffGenerator's hand-rolled walk over add/edit/move/delete operations
becomes a call to `buildFileTreeDiff` from overleaf-editor-core, so the editor
and project-history read a file-tree change the same way. Adds the unit tests
the decaffeinated original never had.

* [web] read the editable-file lists from overleaf-editor-core

web's settings spelled out the text extensions and editable filenames that
decide whether a file becomes a doc, and every other service that has to make
that call carried its own copy. The lists now live in overleaf-editor-core and
web builds settings.textExtensions and settings.editableFilenames from them,
keeping the ADDITIONAL_TEXT_EXTENSIONS override for Server CE/Pro on top.

* [history-v1] read a blob's string length from overleaf-editor-core

Two copies of getStringLengthOfFile lived here, the one in recover_zip.js
carrying a TODO asking for exactly this. Both now import the shared
implementation, which the blob store keeps re-exporting for backupArchiver.

overleaf/web

overleaf/web is the front-end web service of the open-source web-based collaborative LaTeX editor, Overleaf. It serves all the HTML pages, CSS and javascript to the client. overleaf/web also contains a lot of logic around creating and editing projects, and account management.

The rest of the Overleaf stack, along with information about contributing can be found in the overleaf/overleaf repository.

Running the app

The app runs natively using yarn and Node on the local system:

$ yarn install
$ yarn run start

Running Tests

To run all tests run:

make test

To run both unit and acceptance tests for a module run:

make test_module MODULE=saas-authentication

Unit Tests

The test suites run in Docker.

Unit tests can be run in the test_unit container defined in docker-compose.tests.yml.

The makefile contains a short cut to run these:

make test_unit

During development it is often useful to only run a subset of tests, which can be configured with arguments to the mocha CLI:

make test_unit TEST_NAME_PATTERN='AuthorizationManager'

To run only the unit tests for a single module do:

make test_unit_module MODULE=saas-authentication

Module tests can also use a TEST_NAME_PATTERN argument:

make test_unit_module MODULE=saas-authentication TEST_NAME_PATTERN=SSO

Acceptance Tests

Acceptance tests are run against a live service, which runs in the acceptance_test container defined in docker-compose.tests.yml.

To run the tests out-of-the-box, the makefile defines:

make test_acceptance

However, during development it is often useful to leave the service running for rapid iteration on the acceptance tests. This can be done with:

make test_acceptance_app_start_service
make test_acceptance_app_run # Run as many times as needed during development
make test_acceptance_app_stop_service

make test_acceptance just runs these three commands in sequence and then runs make test_acceptance_modules which performs the tests for each module in the modules directory. (Note that there is not currently an equivalent to the -start / -run x n / -stop series for modules.)

During development it is often useful to only run a subset of tests, which can be configured with arguments to the mocha CLI:

make test_acceptance_run TEST_NAME_PATTERN='AuthorizationManager'

To run only the acceptance tests for a single module do:

make test_acceptance_module MODULE=saas-authentication

Module tests can also use a TEST_NAME_PATTERN argument:

make test_acceptance_module MODULE=saas-authentication TEST_NAME_PATTERN=SSO
