Okay so the funny thing is that my upload script is clearly like *super* not working lol, it's been running more than an hour now and still hasn't finished listening the files. So there's only actually a handful of files to test with here, from the `archive:create:upload-test` script!
But anyway, uhh once the archive is actually uploaded, this is a way to read it back! Mainly as a way to assure me that it's all saved correctly, but also as a potential backup for images.neopets.com if it goes down again sometime.
We haven't attended to them in a while, idk if they still work. They were helpful for automatic TDD when building certain complex features like outfit saving, but now it's just noise in the repo I think. We can get them back sometime by reverting this if we really want them!
This is for like, build targeting based on features, I think. A thing in Next popped up and asked me to update it via `npx browserslist@latest --update-db`, so I did!
Uhh hmm, I don't remember when we removed it from package.json, I guess
maybe I thought it was unused and didn't look carefully enough?
Anyway, this fixes the export-users-to-auth0 script, which was crashing
because yargs wasn't installed, oops!
We used Playwright in the first place to try to work around a Vercel deploy issue, and I'm not sure it really ended up mattering lol :p
But yeah, I'm putting the new Puppeteer code through the same prod stress test, and it just doesn't seem to be getting into the same broken state that Playwright was. I'm guessing it's just that Puppeteer has more investment in edge-case handling? (There's also the fact that we're no longer running things as root, which could have been a fucky problem, too?)
Now that we're not on Vercel's AWS Lambda deployment, we can switch to something a bit more standard!
I also tweaked up our version of Playwright, because, hey, why not?
Getting the package list was a bit tricky, but we got there! Left a comment to explain where it's from.
Oh neat, when trying `yarn build && yarn start` locally, I got a message about installing Sharp for better image optimization performance in production.
It mentions that this isn't relevant for Vercel, where it's auto-added. But it's good to get on it now anyway!
Tweaked some of the default Next.js rules, fixed lint-staged for `next lint`, made a few small easy lint fixes. Feels good!
Note that using the `dirs` option in `next.config.js` was causing `lint-staged` to lint _everything_. That's why I edited `yarn lint` to specify the dirs instead: that way, that command will lint all those dirs, but they won't get included in invocations with `--file`.
There are still a few lint errors left after this commit, because our <img> tags aren't working (@next/next/no-img-element). I'll fix those when we figure out what's wrong with images!
I'm interested in ejecting from Vercel, so I'm trying to get off their proprietary-ish create-react-app + Vercel API thing, and onto Nextjs, which is very similar in shape, but more portable.
I had to disable `craCompat` in `next.config.js` to stop us from crashing on their webpack config, see https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/25858#discussioncomment-1573822
The frontend seems to work at a basic level, but network requests fail, and images don't seem to be working. I'll work on those next!
Note that this commit was forced through despite failing lint checks. We'll need to fix that up too!
Also, after the codemod, I moved `src/pages` to the more canonical location `pages`. Lint tooling seemed surprised to not find a `pages` directory, and I didn't see a config that was making it work correctly in the other location, so I figured it's that Next is willing to check `pages` or `src/pages`? But this is more canonical so yeah!
Okay cool, this one worked! We use this special Chrome package with AWS Lambda support, and then we use normal Playright in dev, and then we exclude `playwright` from the deployment (even though it got auto-detected by `require("playwright")`) to just barely sneak in under the 50MB limit for this function. Phew!
The preview deploys for this seem to be, actually working? So that's exciting!
So, just using normal playwright was crashing with this error: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/5862
I didn't understand why everyone was using playwright-core until I read the comments more carefully, and saw that it was because folks were using playwright-aws-lambda, because that's where Vercel functions run. (It has some special compat stuff.)
So I'm figuring that maybe the special case in Vercel's builder that fixes this for playwright-core maybe doesn't apply to normal playwright? But that people don't actually run into that issue in practice, because they're all using playwright-core for playwright-aws-lambda instead?
Idk, let's see how it goes! My hope is that this both fixes the immediate crasher about browsers.json being missing, _and_ fixes a problem we were _gonna_ have down the line about normal playwright not working in an AWS Lambda setting.
In production we're suddenly getting errors in module wrapping in honeycomb-beeline. I wonder if it's like, an incompatibility with Vercel's version of Node?
Well, this new version seems to still be playing nice on dev, so hopefully that's all it is and this fixes it! I give it like a 35% chance lol :p
So I finally started looking into the race condition that makes item previews sometimes fail to load, and as expected, it was that we were trying to load the movie before CreateJS had necessarily loaded. Usually the timing worked out, esp after a reload, but not under certain circumstances!
Anyway, I've been wanting for a while to just bundle them instead. That'll help us more eagerly load them when we need them, and not depend on external CDNs, and remove a bunch of loading state!
So yeah, I had to learn how the `easeljs` and `tweenjs` NPM packages did their bundling, and how to use `imports-loader` to let them just register straight onto `window`! But we got there and it's pretty nice tbh!
Meta tags are a bit tricky in apps built with `create-react-app`! While some bots like Google are able to render the full page when crawling, not all bots are. Most will just see the empty-ish index.html that would normally load up the application.
But we want outfit sharing to work! And be cool! And use our new outfit thumbnails!
In this change, we add a new server-side rendering API route to handle `/outfits/:id`.
It's very weak server-side rendering: it just loads index.html, and makes a few small tweaks inside the `<head>` tag. But it should be enough for sharing to work in clients that support the basics of Open Graph, which I think most major providers respect! (I know Twitter has their own tags, but it also respects the basics of OG, so let's see whether there's anything we end up _wanting_ to tweak or not!)
I've got it in my IDE too, but I want more safeguards lol, I'm tired of goofing up the pushes :p
I don't allow warnings here, but still have them as warnings not errors; because I don't want them to block build, but I _do_ want them to block commit.
