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!
This was used by the Neopia server to send us the modeling data it requested out-of-band. But now we do all our modeling requests back in-app again, so we don't need this!
Okay, this is a process that idk if it's even been working for a while anyway, I don't think Neopets translates item names anymore?
And it's crashing when I try to model stuff now, so like. yeah ok I'm fine with just skipping this, it's a shame to lose out on potential data going forward but *I think there just isn't data to get anyway*
I hope this doesn't cause problems! But yeah, with Puma doing threading, and maybe switching to Falcon someday to get even better concurrency properties, I feel like this will probably be fine?
And it makes the UX a loootttt better, to be back in the world where all these forms just work, whew.
Oh okay, I was misinterpreting the error: it was that our NEOPETS_URL_ORIGIN secret value isn't the real Neopets.com IP address anymore, so amfphp requests were just plain *always* failing in production. Oops!
I've remove that environment variable from our production config, and now modeling is working in the bulk thing!
Also I'm noticing that we're using puma these days, which does good threading stuff. I think there might be merit to switching over to Falcon because of just how async-y our stuff is, but having 5 threads going is honestly probably good enough that I don't need to worry too much about mutual blocking, and could probably just write stuff to get Neopia out of the picture like *right now*. Neat!
Okay so… I'm worried about this because of Rails whole single-threaded situation, which doesn't really let it handle blocking on external network requests very well.
Ultimately I think we're gonna have to do a clever thing but idk quite what?
I should look into whether like, puma + the new async stuff can enable Rails to be more tolerable about this, and handle a few requests at once, instead of having to have the Neopia server doing it. (Right now, the Neopia server isn't really doing its job quite right, because it depends on the Rails app being *local* to send stuff to it.)
But for now, let's just extend the timeout, cuz it's basically always getting hit in production—because there's currently no other way to do modeling, oops lol
I ran `rails zeitwerk:check`, which eager-loads the app, and it found two problems: `closet_group.rb` doesn't define `ClosetGroup` (cuz it's empty), and I left in a reference to a cache sweeper observer oops. Goodbye!
Some important little upgrades but mostly straightforward!
Note that there's still a known issue where item searches crash, I was hoping that this was a bug in Rails 4.2 that would be fixed on upgading to 5, but nope, oh well!
Also uhh I just got a bit silly and didn't actually mean to go all the way to 5.2 in one go, I had meant to start at 5.0… but tbh the 5.1 and 5.2 changes seem small, and this seems to be working, so. Yeah ok let's roll!
