      Convert test bundle to be an ES module · 53da4038
      Robert Knight authored
      This should make it easier to speed up test runs in future by
      pre-building npm dependencies into a separate bundle which the main test
      bundle can import from.

      Limit CommonJS processing to npm dependencies · f72de5b5
      Robert Knight authored
      The CommonJS plugin is the second most expensive transform after Babel.
      Since all of our own code uses ES modules, limit it to npm dependencies
      to speed up the build.
      
      In tests the Babel transform has also been moved last so that additional
      code it generates is not unnecessarily processed by subsequent plugins.
      
      Combined these changes speed up a build of the full test bundle by ~4s.

      Use an Error-like object rather than an actual Error in a test · f16678ec
      Robert Knight authored
      This fixes a slow test on this branch, which appears to be caused by an
      interaction between using `postMessage` to serialize native Error
      objects and the `source-map-support` Karma plugin that we use.
      
      Sending native Errors via `PortRPC` currently doesn't work in all
      browsers so I expect we'll want to implement our own serialization of
      errors in `PortRPC` to work around that. That can also work around the
      `source-map-support`/`postMessage` issue in Chrome in future.
      
      To move the Browserify => Rollup conversion forwards, this commit just
      changes the test to use an Error-like rather than actual Error object.

      Remove unnecessary sinon import · f83ad4af
      Robert Knight authored
      `sinon` is exposed as a global in the test environment so it doesn't
      need to be imported. Additionally some of the dependencies of Sinon
      (samsam, nise) cause warnings about circular dependencies and use of
      `eval` when bundled by Rollup.

      Add some clarifying comments · fd99644f
      Robert Knight authored
      Add comments to clarify a few things about the way the tests are built
      and run.

      Build boot script as classic rather than module script · 8c92b413
      Robert Knight authored
      Due to pre-existing `<script>` tags on third-party websites that load
      the client's boot script, via https://hypothes.is/embed.js, we need to
      keep generating it as a classic rather than ES module script for now.

      Move launch error rendering into a function · 3185bf1b
      Robert Knight authored
      This prevents a warning from Rollup about use of `this` outside a class
      or (non-arrow) function in development builds, due to the way Babel
      compiles JSX expressions [1]. Moving top-level code into a function is
      also useful in case we ever want to write tests for it.

      Add note about `preact/debug` exclusion in prod builds · a6e071d7
      Robert Knight authored
      Since the exclusion is no longer triggered by logic in the source code,
      add a note about where this happens.

      Use @rollup/plugin-virtual to exclude modules in production · 8743910d
      Robert Knight authored
      Make conditional exclusion of modules work the same way in the app
      bundle as in the tests bundle.

      Fix boot script error when running `make dev` after `make clean` · e40f8438
      Robert Knight authored
      Fix an occasional error from Gulp about a missing `boot.bundle.js` file
      when running `make dev` for the first time after `make clean`. This can
      happen if `updateManifest` runs before Rollup has generated
      `boot.bundle.js`. The error can be safely ignored as `updateManifest`
      will be re-run after `boot.bundle.js` is generated.

      Replace Browserify with Rollup · bcf7ef0a
      Robert Knight authored
      Replace Browserify with Rollup as a module bundler. This brings several
      advantages:
      
      - It is a more modern bundler that has better support in the ecosystem,
        more active maintenence, fewer dependencies and is easier to write plugins for.
        The core team also maintain most of the plugins that we need.
      
      - It has native support for modern platform features like ES modules,
        including dynamic import for lazy-loading of functionality.
      
      - It generates smaller bundles due to its ability to do tree shaking and scope hoisting.
      
      The new bundles are generated as ES modules rather than UMD / IIFE bundles.
      Our target browsers now all support ES modules and this will enable us to use
      native static/dynamic imports for code splitting or lazy-loading of
      functionality in future.
      
      The initial Rollup build generates one bundle per application (boot script,
      annotator, sidebar). This simplifies the build process and minimizes production
      bundle size, at the cost of making incremental updates during development
      slightly slower.
      
      Build performance is currently similar to or a little slower than Browserify.
      We can optimize this by adding caching of transforms (mainly Babel) and
      pre-building of a vendor bundle containing large dependencies.
      
      As part of changing the bundler this also changes how the code is packaged
      for tests.  We now do the bundling ourselves rather than using a Karma
      integration. This makes it much easier to inspect the processed code and fix
      problems. It also makes it easier to optimize the bundle building in future.
