Uhh I guess when I half-removed a feature from the translations list (I
don't remember when?), it left two different dictionaries labeled
`neopets_page_import_tasks.new`, and the second one overwrote the
first. Oops! Yikes!
By removing these, the translations *above* them actually get to apply
to the page correctly. Before this change, the page just showed the
translation keys as placeholders, womp womp.
When I was trying to debug slow view code one time long long ago, I was
like "let's cache any part of the template that's static!"
And like. no that's silly, I don't trust that this speeds anything up,
but it _definitely_ adds complexity. Let's just not.
Just for consistency with the other features we're not using, we turn
off ActionCable when loading the app. I just removed
`config/cable.yml`, so I figure, let's not load a feature without the
config file it expects! (even though that didn't seem to bother it)
We're not using the ActionCable or ActiveStorage Rails features in this
app, so we can clear out these default config files. If we need them
later, it's not hard to re-find / re-generate them!
Our production data now contains basic hashes for all species/color
combinations, and it's easy enough for a dev copy of the site to get
them too by running `rails public_data:pull`. So, I think it's time to
retire this hardcoded set, and get one more file out of our codebase!
No pressing reason, I'm just doing upgrades today, and noticed a new
version is out, and scrolled the patch notes and there's no obvious
breaking changes for my purposes, so. Up we go!
The silly motivation is that I wanted to remove `.prettierignore`,
which just exists to omit that one folder from `npm run format`. But it
also seems like this is the standard place to put them—a standard
created long after we first set this up lol
I forget what this was for, I think part of it was for managing item
names in different languages, and the "private" locale thing was
probably for WIP locales? But yeah, not used, delete!
Yeah, I don't remember why So Many Years Ago I felt it was important to
use the Droid fonts; I adapted this choice into the Noto fonts when
modernizing the other day, but, tbh, the default system fonts are
probably just a better fit for like. everything we do, and then *not*
downloading MB of font files.
I also feel like a lot of the contexts where we used serif fonts were
like, frankly incidental, based on where we chose `<p>` for semantic
reasons? I don't think any of them actually are made much better by
serifs, I'm okay with just simplifying and dropping that, instead of
looking for a better serif font stack to replace it.
There's some funny bugs we had here, like "Relic Elephante Jewellery"
and "Royal Girl Skeith Bodice" getting assigned "Ice", and
"Tyrannian Meerca Spear" being "Pea" lmao
I went and checked all the assignments now and they look good to me!
```ruby
Item.is_pb.order(:name).
map { |i| [i.pb_color&.human_name, i.name] }
```
Ahh right, when you indent stuff underneath a tag in HAML, it does the
same indented form in the output HTML, which adds whitespace that
creates a problem for how we're doing this list.
Before this change, the "Engulfed in Flames Effect" item showed below
the preview: `Occupies: Background Item , Lower Foreground Item`, with
an extra space before the comma.
After this change, it now shows
`Occupies: Background Item, Lower Foreground Item`, as intended.
Fun little bug: viewing the "Engulfed in Flames Effect" item was
showing our "502 Bad Gateway" custom error page in the embed. This is
because the Rails app was providing a `Content-Security-Policy` header
value that was longer than nginx is configured by default to allow, so
it was refusing the response, and showing the same 502 error as if the
app hadn't responded at all. (We discovered this by opening
`/var/log/nginx/error.log`, which explained this very clearly, ty~!)
In this change, we no longer list every `images.neopets.com` asset,
instead marking the entire domain as a valid image source for the
SWF asset embed iframe. I don't _love_ this solution, I liked the
property of specifying literally exactly the assets we allow! But I
don't think there's any practical danger here, and it helps a *lot* for
making this more reliable.
(If we could have solved this reliably by increasing nginx's allowed
response header size, I probably would've done that? But I researched a
bit, and ultimately concluded that I don't trust other intermediary
software like firewalls not to have the same issue. Let's not be
pushing the limits of HTTP headers of all things!)
This shouldn't ever be an issue in practice? I just noticed it because
something funny is going on with the `#userbar` element specifically
not using the Delicious font, and so I figured, hey, this simulates a
very real possible scenario, I'd rather use our consistent sans font
in this case!
Huh okay, moving to my other machine, the change to Noto Sans subtly
broke the homepage layout a bit, wrapping the form buttons to the next
line in the three module sections.
Here, I refactor to more modern grid/flexbox sensibilities. Btw, there
was a Flexbox thing that didn't work quite how I expected? I commented
on my confusion, but checked in Chrome and Firefox and it seems to work
in both, so, ok!
Okay cool, so this was an error that was happening *only* when building
assets for production: Sass's CSS minifier isn't familiar with all
modern CSS syntax (I think is the issue?), and so errors on things that
are actually totally okay.
I had previously worked around this in `swf_assets/show.css` with an
equivalent syntax that Sass recognized. But in this latest case with
the new `fonts.css.erb`, it was upset about the `src` list for the
fonts, and I don't know a workaround for that.
So, let's just disable Sass's CSS minification for now. I imagine the
difference isn't huge when CSS compresses just fine with gzip anyway?
(Most of what you can "minify" in CSS is whitespace, and that largely
seems silly to me when gzip is running.)
I was just scrolling our CSS and surprised to find we use Google Fonts
embeds! I don't like depending on external hosts like that.
Google Fonts doesn't offer the Droid fonts for download anymore,
though—looks like the Noto fonts are their spiritual successor. The
Droid Serif and Noto Serif fonts look visually identical to me, but the
Sans ones are a bit different… I kinda like the charm of the Droid Sans
better, but ah well! I'd rather be moving forward with a more modern
font with more reliable glyph support etc for now.
I think this has just been broken for a long time? And I don't think
it's very useful in a world 15 years later, where our problem *used* to
be giant gaps in our library, which isn't really our data problem
anymore.
No more of this loading everything into `application.css`! I'm
arbitrarily starting here because that's where I've been playing
lately, but this is part of a larger effort to move toward a more
straightforward CSS architecture (and away from Sass even?)
Ran into a funny thing on an upcoming change, where a style on the
page-specific stylesheet was getting undone by the *CSS Reset* of all
things in the application stylesheet. Resets come first!
I haven't audited that I didn't break a ton of stuff with this change,
but. I hope not! :)
Closes#3, by adapting the suggested changes! Thank you!!
We both change how we create pet name preview jobs, by catching the `@`
case early; and we better handle symbols in pet names when showing the
thank you message, by parsing the query string more correctly.

This was always modeling correctly, but not showing the message,
because Turbo doesn't handle anchors in redirect URLs the same way the
browser's full page loads do.
I forget why we had this as a `#` URL anyway to begin with. Use `?`
instead!
I haven't been running Prettier consistently on things in this project.
Now, it's quick-runnable, and I've got it on everything!
Also, I just think tabs are the right default for this kind of thing,
and I'm glad to get to switch over to it! (In `package.json`.)
I skipped this for a bit because I couldn't think of a simple way to
adapt this behavior to a web component + vanilla CSS setting, but then
I thought of CSS variables, and sat down and cranked this out!
I noticed the last row of the species faces required a scroll, I forget
when that happened! But I made some tweaks, most notably widened the
container from the normal 800px, so that on bigger screens everything
lays out and aligns nice, without requiring any scrolling of the face
container!
Oh oops, I forgot one of the kinds of restricted zones when refactoring
how we load search data in wardrobe-2020! This made most items with
restricted zones (like Be Gone items) not work correctly when you
search for them to add them to the item—though it *does* work correctly
when you reload the page or change the species, to get to load a
different way.
If something goes wrong, like the site goes down or has an intermittent
error, try a full pageload. That way, we're both retrying, and in a way
that gives the user more control and visibility into what's going on,
and what they can potentially do about it. (e.g. if there's a useful
error message, they will see it!)
I took this ordering from a specific place on Impress 2020, but I think
that was in a context where the pose mattered more? Here though, I'm
realizing that I'd rather show any known-unglitched pose than the happy
masc or whatever we semi-randomly chose.
