Okay, this is much simpler than the impress-2020 version where we symlinked node_modules and stuff - Bundler is just a lot better at this lol
Right now, the app is failing to start because we don't install Node—I wasn't sure whether we'd need to and whether I was gonna precompile the assets etc
Though now that I say that out loud, I guess part of the issue might be that I'm not sure the app is running in RAILS_ENV=production, I wonder if it still wants Node in that case?? I'll flip that switch in the service file now, then commit to save my place for the day, then try again with starting the app sometime and see what it says!
Yay it's working! We set up the box, install Ruby, upload a placeholder app, set it up as a service, and get it hooked up to nginx!
Next, we'll add the script to upload the latest version of the site. We just need to slot it into `/srv/impress/current`, run `bundle install`, and that should basically be that! (Oh, and we need to compile production assets—I wonder if it's useful to do that on the dev machine instead of on the target? That might save us from needing to install Node. Or maybe we'll have to anyway!)
Eyyy tasty! There were some issues with conflicting styles with the main app, but I think we got it!
Scoping Chakra's CSS reset was a big deal to not accidentally overwrite the app's own styles lol, and we had to solve a specificity problem for that, thanks Aria for the :where tip!! <3
We never had a specific reason why we didn't use the router for this I don't think? Not that I wrote down anyway. Let's just switch it over and see what happens!
I mainly did this as a misdiagnosis of the page reload problem fixed in c162864, but it seems like a good idea to try out anyway!
This I think is why the page was reloading when you try to item search? The failed import was triggering our "hey maybe this is an old module URL that got deleted" code?
We add jsbuilding-rails to get esbuild running in the app, and then we copy-paste the files we need from impress-2020 into here!
I stopped at the point where it was building successfully, but it's not running correctly: it's not sure about `process.env` in `next`, and I think the right next step is to delete the NextJS deps altogether and use React Router instead.
Nice, just turning it on seemed to do all we need for now!
Fair questions to be asked about like, should you be able to look up by username instead of email? But like idk, this feels simpler *and* more solid, to give you feedback on if it's the right email.
In the login case, we save the `return_to` parameter in the session, because login can be a multi-step process.
In the logout case, we just read it directly from the form params.
Note that you *could* end up in a weird scenario where an old return_to value sticks around for a bit? But we have the sense to delete it when we use it on a successful sign-in, and most links to the login page come with a `return_to` param which should reset it. So, you'd have to 1) have started but not finished a sign-in, 2) during the same session, and 3) get to the login page by an unusual means.
Probably fine!
Oh I didn't realize the lowest version Rails had for this is 4.2. I wish running `rake db:migrate` checked this, but I'm running into it on another branch when I try to create a *new* migration which for some reason leads it to inspect the old migrations and notice the issue. Weird!
I'm not sure it's literally true that they were all built against Rails 3.2, but that's what it was at before we upgraded, and like. that's probably fine
This is a bit more standard, and has the bonus of being compatible with Devise, which is using `flash[:notice]` and so its flashes were coming out unstyled, oops!
Hey nice!!
Note that I removed an account delete button from the settings page. You can still send a DELETE request to the right endpoint to do it, but it's not gonna delete all the associated records, and I wanna think a bit about how to handle that better before exposing that button.
I noticed this was stopping changing your default list visibility bc contact neopets connection can't be empty, so I fixed that!
And then I just decided to scroll through every `belongs_to` relationship and add optional to the ones that jumped out at me lol
A lot of rough edges here (e.g. no styles on the flash messages), but it's working and that's good!!
I tested this by temporarily switching to the production database and logging in as matchu!
Still missing a lot of big features too, like registration, password resets, settings page, etc.
This removes login/logout/session logic for integrating with OpenNeo ID, replacing them with stubs that just redirect to `/?TODO` when you click login, and helpers that act as if you're not logged in.
This gives us a clean slate to plug in new Devise logic to integrate with the `openneo_id` database directly!
No user-facing functionality here yet, just configuring the database connection to work with openneo_id records.
This is a first step in integrating Devise stuff into this app instead of connecting with a weird second app.
My basic testing for this was to temporarily connect to production `openneo_id`, and see `AuthUser.first` correctly return a user!
This will enable us to access the auth records, which we store in a separate database for weird legacy reasons!
We don't do anything else yet, just set up the connection to be available.
(NOTE: This commit was a bit of a history rewrite: we started working on this with `database.yml` still gitignored, but then in 8fb6e82 we added it back in to be able to fix a bug in 44c42f9. So previously this branch added back `database.yml` to git *and* added `openneo_id` to it, but since then I've rebased against the other changes, and rewrote history to make this a change to *just* add the database! I also moved it in the timeline, to be before some of the other things that depend on it.)
I had added this many Rails versions ago during the recent upgrade process, because it was in latest Rails but not in the version of Rails I was using when replacing Elasticsearch with MySQL queries. We can remove it now!
Without this, searches for negative of `fits` or `species` would crash, bc somewhere Rails set the default SQL mode to be stricter than before. This just sets it back!
We gitignored it a long time ago as the way to hide our db secrets, but that's not how we manage them anymore! (Or, well, we haven't done production deployment with this new setup yet, but you get the point.)
This helps clarify what the database config oughta look like!
lmao I keep forgetting things! note that the negative case of this filter, like the negative case of `fits`, is currently broken because Rails changed the default SQL mode and I didn't notice! We'll need to add a `database.yml` file and set `sql_mode: TRADITIONAL`.
Whew! Seems like a pretty clean one? Ran `rails app:upgrade` and stuff, and made some corrections to keyword arguments for `translate` calls. There might be more such problems elsewhere? But that's hard to search for, and we'll have to see.
Hey nice! We have to add webrick now because it's not included in Ruby 3, but hey just drop it right back in.
Idk how to choose between this or puma or whatever, but in the absence of a specific reason let's just pick the one whose name I know best.
This one was pretty straightforward yaay! Main thing was the change from `render file` to `render template` in a couple places, oh and a thing with complex `order()` clauses.
The session format changed, so we change the session cookie name rather than have things crash about it! (I hope the actual prod behavior is to ignore bad cookies rather than crash? But I figure this is more reliable anyway.)
