As part of this, I added a new `search_icon` helper, and a new
`button_link_to` helper, which both styles the link as a button and
accepts an `icon` parameter to make it easier to pass in an icon!
I'm not sure when TNT changed this, but the Shop Wizard has a new
canonical URL now! The previous one redirects, but it does *not* pass
along query string parameters, so these buttons would correctly go to
the Shop Wizard but not auto-fill the name!
Now, we go directly to the new canonical URL, with query params in hand!
This is just a tech update: instead of using hand-built URLs with
`CGI::escape`, I use `Addressable::Template`, which is a more reliable
way to build URLs in general.
The motivation here is that I noticed the Shop Wizard link is actually
broken! And I wanted to fix this while I was here, but I figured let's
split that into a separate commit than this refactor. See next!
This helps us be more efficient with our use of space, keep the CTAs well
aligned, show a clear total, and set up how we might do CTAs for more complex
cases like all the potential Neopoint CTAs like Wiz/Trades/Auction/etc!
There's been some stability issues with our self-hosted
health.openneo.net service lately. I just upgraded to a new version
today, so my hope is that today's weird slowness is that it's doing the
expected GlitchTip 4.0 upgrade data migration process designed to save
disk space, and hopefully it will take care of itself by the end of the
day?
But just to help out, I'm disabling this feature to remove pressure on
the GlitchTip service. We don't actually use performance trace analysis
irl, and so it's just taking up disk space and processing power. If we
end up wanting to dig into something in the future, we can turn it back
on! (My hope had been that a sample rate of 5% was small enough to be a
good hedge to have "enough" data just in case something comes up, but
idk, I don't actually have a great sense of how much pressure even 5%
of our total volume is, and I'd rather just be certain it's out of the
picture altogether, at least while working on this.)
Now that we have this helper, we no longer need these stylesheets to
include a `body.controller-action` wrapper to scope all the styles!
Someday we should convert more of our stylesheets to this format,
instead of slamming them all into `application.sass` like we do now.
Ah, well!
NC prices, some CSS, and also a new application-level helper that adds
a feature I've long wanted and been working around for Turbo: the
ability to specific that a stylesheet is specific to the current page,
and should be unloaded when removed!
I use this to write `sources.sass` without the usual
`body.items-sources` scoping that we've historically used to control
what pages a stylesheet applies to. (In the long past, this was because
a lot of stylesheets were—and still are–routed through the
`application.sass` stylesheet! But even for more recent standalone page
stylesheets, I've done the scoping, to avoid issues with styles leaking
beyond the page they're meant for when Turbo does a navigation.)
This'll affect the recommended acquisition method by a lot!
NC Mall info like current price isn't surfaced anywhere else in the app
right now. It'd probably be good to add to the item page, and maybe
some other places too!
Currently we only load the homepage, so there's only actually one
wearable item to sync up! But here's the task to do it!
To do this, we also created the backing model NCMallRecord, where we'll
save the current NC Mall state!
This doesn't connect to anything yet, I'm just doing the beginnings of
loading NC Mall item data!
My intent is to run this regularly to keep our own NC info in the
database too, primarily for use in the Item Getting Guide. (Could be
useful to surface in other places too though!) This will help us split
items into those that can be one-click purchased with the NC Mall
integration, vs NC items that need to be acquired by other means.
TNT requested that we figure out ways to connect the dots between
people's intentions on DTI to their purchases in the NC Mall.
But rather than just slam ad links everywhere, our plan is to design an
actually useful feature about it: the "Item Getting Guide". It'll break
down items by how you can actually get them (NP economy, NC Mall,
retired NC, Dyeworks, etc), and we're planning some cute actions you
can take, like shortcuts for getting them onto trade wishlists or into
your NC Mall cart.
This is just a little demo version of the page, just breaking down
items specified in the URL into NC/NP/PB! Later we'll do more granular
breakdown than this, with more info and actions—and we'll also like,
link to it at all, which isn't the case yet! (The main way we expect
people to get here is by a "Get these items" button we'll add to the
outfit editor, but there might be other paths, too.)
When running linting for the first time in a while on my desktop
machine (I didn't have the git hooks set up, oops!), I got some
warnings about my version of Typescript being too recent for my version
of `typescript-eslint`. Upgraded to latest! Linting still works.
Oops, prior to this commit, searching for "white peach" would return
nothing, whereas now it correctly returns the "Dyeworks White: Just
Peachy Filter", like if you search in the Infinite Closet!
This solution is a bit hacky, wrote some more in the comments about how
to maybe do this better!
Oops, right, this meta tag that runs on all pages currently crashes if
we can't read the credentials file!
Instead, let's just allow this value to be `nil` if not present.
Huh, curious, I think what I'm seeing is: on my development machine,
`File.exist?` returns true for symlinks, but, on our production
machine, `File.exist?` returns false for symlinks.
I imagine this is a difference in the implementation of the underlying
system calls? Curious!
This new check should work more reliably across platforms. I considered
checking both `exists?` and `symlink?`, but decided that, in the
unexpected case that `latest.sql.gz` exists but is an actual file
instead of a symlink like we expect, it's probably best to avoid
overwriting it anyway, and a crash on the `symlink` attempt is a
reasonable way to do that.
In newer versions of MySQL, `mysqldump`'s default behavior requires
accessing some privileged `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` tables, which requires
the global `PROCESS` permission.
Rather than require that, we can just skip this step, by adding the
`--no-tablespaces` argument. This was the guidance I found when looking
up this issue! https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/274460/289961
Idk how we got into this state, or if it's environment-dependent or
MySQL-version-dependent or what, but setting up the dev environment on
my macOS machine is complaining that `TEXT` columns can't have default
values.
Well, in that case, let's just have it be a non-nullable field, and add
a note to our code that missing fields *can* cause item saving to fail!
(This was always true, but I'm just extra-noting it because it's
becoming *more* true.)
Ahh right, this `lineinfile` trick has a gotcha: if we ever change the
Ruby version, it injects the line into the file as a *new* line,
instead of updating or removing the existing one.
When poking at the content of `/etc/profile` to remove old versions of
the line, I noticed that `/etc/profile.d` is a thing! We can drop a
file into there and manage it more directly, instead. Let's do that!
This hasn't actually been running, and I'm finally looking into why!
I tested this by running `sudo -u impress COMMAND_GOES_HERE`, and found
that there were two errors: both the lack of `production.env` that I
had noticed and expected, but also that Ruby 3.3.0 wasn't in the `PATH`
value.
To fix this, I now pull in both `/etc/profile` and `~/.bash_profile`,
much like what happens automatically when we log into a shell as
`impress`, to get the environment set up! I haven't actually validated
that this Works, but I guess we'll see! I *could* change the cron
timing to some immediate time to try to watch it happen, but I'm not
invested enough right now, there's other things to do!
I'm doing some back-and-forth on the contract between me and TNT, and
they proposed this amendment to the copyright text in the Fan Site
Agreement. Implemented now!
I refresh the image and UI color here to draw attention to the change!
I also delete the `neopass-thumbnail.png` image, since it's no longer
used anywhere anymore, but I would not be surprised if we want it back
someday and need to revive it from history!
Simple enough to start! If `shadowbanned: true` gets set on a user,
then we show a 404 instead of the actual list page, *unless* you're
logged in as that user, or coming from a known IP of that user.
This isn't a very strong mechanism! Just something to hopefully
increase the costs of messing around with list spam.
Just a lil blurb to make sure it's clear that NC sales and stuff are
forbidden! I imagine the people doing it know this, but I want to make
sure we're being explicit, in case there's any element of
miscommunication.
This hasn't been causing issues as far as I know, I just noticed
*months ago* that I forgot to do this, and have had a sticky note about
it on my desk since then lol.
I tested this by temporarily setting the timeout to `0.5`, and watching
it fail!
A further optimization, this lets us use the image hash as the new hash
for the pet type if it would be useful! (whereas before this change,
we'd dip into `fetch_metadata` and just get back `nil`, which was okay
too but a little bit less helpful!)
Ahh, we recently added a step to pet loading that sends a metadata
request to `PetService.getPet`, which is now (in a sense, correctly!)
raising a `PetNotFound` error when we try modeling with a "pet" that
starts with `@` (a trick we use in situations where we can get an image
hash for a modeling situation, but not an irl pet itself).
In this change, we make it no longer a crashing issue if the pet
metadata request fails: it's not a big deal to have a `PetType` have no
image hash or not have it be up-to-date!
In the next change, I'll also add an optimization to skip fetching it
altogether in this case—but I wanted to see this work first, because
the more general resilience is more important imo!
Ah right, now that you no longer need to provide this secret value as a
query param or a cookie in order to see NeoPass stuff, we can safely
delete it! Goodbye! 👋
In particular, we got feedback that it was surprising to not get to
check which NeoPass you wanted to use, and that the permissions were
never prompted again. I figure let's err on the side of ample clarity!
As part of this, I've added the new `external_link_icon` global helper,
which embeds an SVG from Chakra UI. That's just the convenient place I
know to grab that icon, and I did it this way instead of an `img` tag
because that enables the `currentColor` thing to work instead of coming
out black!
