- substr is Annex B
- substring silently flips its arguments if they're in the "wrong order", which is confusing
- slice is better than sliced bread (no pun intended) and also it works the same way on Arrays so there's less to remember

CircleCI now enforces passing a token when fetching artifacts. I'm also
deleting the old request-promise-json dependency because AFAIK we were
only using it to fetch json from circleci about the list of available
artifacts – which we can just do using node-fetch. Plus, the underlying
request package it uses has been deprecated since 2019.
* Add --no-show-signature to "git show" commands.
This fixes errors if the user has configured the following in their ~/.gitconfig:
[log]
showSignature = true
* yarn prettier-all
Update all our local scripts to use `build` instead of `build2`.
There are still downstream scripts that depend on `build2`, though, so
we can't remove it yet.
Change format of @next and @experimental release versions from <number>-<sha> to <number>-<sha>-<date> to make them more human readable. This format still preserves the ability for us to easily map a version number to the changes it contains, while also being able to more easily know at a glance how recent a release is.
The versioning scheme for `@next` releases does not include semver
information. Like `@experimental`, the versions are based only on the
hash, i.e. `0.0.0-<commit_sha>`. The reason we do this is to prevent
the use of a tilde (~) or caret (^) to match a range of
prerelease versions.
For `@experimental`, I think this rationale still makes sense — those
releases are very unstable, with frequent breaking changes. But `@next`
is not as volatile. It represents the next stable release. So, I think
we can afford to include an actual verison number at the beginning of
the string instead of `0.0.0`.
We can also add a label that indicates readiness of the upcoming
release, like "alpha", "beta", "rc", etc.
To prepare for this the new versioning scheme, I updated the build
script. However, **this PR does not enable the new versioning scheme
yet**. I left a TODO above the line that we'll change once we're ready.
We need to specify the expected next version numbers for each package,
somewhere. These aren't encoded anywhere today — we don't specify
version numbers until right before publishing to `@latest`, using an
interactive script: `prepare-release-from-npm`.
Instead, what we can do is track these version numbers in a module. I
added `ReactVersions.js` that acts as the single source of truth for
every package's version. The build script uses this module to build the
`@next` packages.
In the future, I want to start building the `@latest` packages the same
way we do `@next` and `@experimental`. (What we do now is download a
`@next` release from npm and swap out its version numbers.) Then we
could run automated tests in CI to confirm the packages are releasable,
instead of waiting to verify that right before publish.
* build-combined: Fix bundle sizes path
* Output COMMIT_SHA in build directory
Alternative to parsing an arbitrary package's version number, or
its `build-info.json`.
* Remove CircleCI environment variable requirement
I think this only reason we needed this was to support passing any
job id to `--build`, instead of requiring the `process_artifacts` job.
And to do that you needed to use the workflows API endpoint, which
requires an API token.
But now that the `--commit` argument exists and automatically finds the
correct job id, we can just use that.
* Add CI job that gets base artifacts
Uses download-experimental script and places the base artifacts into
a top-level folder.
* Migrate sizebot to combined workflow
Replaces the two separate sizebot jobs (one for each channel, stable and
experimental) with a single combined job that outputs size information
for all bundles in a single GitHub comment.
I didn't attempt to simplify the output at all, but we should. I think
what I would do is remove our custom Rollup sizes plugin, and read the
sizes from the filesystem instead. We would lose some information about
the build configuration used to generate each artifact, but that can be
inferred from the filepath. For example, the filepath
`fb-www/ReactDOM-dev.classic.js` already tells us everything we need to
know about the artifact. Leaving this for a follow up.
* Move GitHub status check inside retry loop
The download script will poll the CircleCI endpoint until the build job
is complete; it should also poll the GitHub status endpoint if the
build job hasn't been spawned yet.
* Only run get_base_build on main branch
Also update instructions to match recent script changes.
Also add reproducible commit SHA to post download instructions to support publishing the Firefox DevTools extension.
* Migrate prepare-release-from-ci to new workflow
I added a `--releaseChannel (-r)` argument to script. You must choose
either "stable" or "experimental", because every build job now includes
both channels.
The prepare-release-from-npm script is unchanged since those releases
are downloaded from npm, nt CI.
(As a side note, I think we should start preparing semver releases using
the prepare-release-from-ci script, too, and get rid of
prepare-release-from-npm. I think that was a neat idea originally but
because we already run `npm pack` before storing the artifacts in CI,
there's really not much additional safety; the only safeguard it adds is
the requirement that a "next" release must have already been published.)
* Move validation to parse-params module
* Tests run in experimental mode by default
For local development, you usually want experiments enabled. Unless
the release channel is set with an environment variable, tests will
run with __EXPERIMENTAL__ set to `true`.
* Remove concurrent APIs from stable builds
Those who want to try concurrent mode should use the experimental
builds instead.
I've left the `unstable_` prefixed APIs in the Facebook build so we
can continue experimenting with them internally without blessing them
for widespread use.
* Turn on SSR flags in experimental build
* Remove prefixed concurrent APIs from www build
Instead we'll use the experimental builds when syncing to www.
* Remove "canary" from internal React version string
* Download correct artifacts for release channel
Experimental builds should pull artifacts from the
`process_artifacts_experimental` job.
I think instead of two separate CI workflows, a better approach might
be to build stable artifacts to the `build` directory and the
experimental artifacts to a `build_experimental` directory, and
generate both within the same workflow. This would take some work since
lots of things assume the output directory is `build`, but something
to consider in the future.
* Prevent experimental promotion to stable
Adds a check to the `prepare-stable` script to prevent experimental
builds from being published using stable semver versions.
* Don't bother including `unstable_` in error
The method names don't get stripped out of the production bundles
because they are passed as arguments to the error decoder.
Let's just always use the unprefixed APIs in the messages.
* Set up experimental builds
The experimental builds are packaged exactly like builds in the stable
release channel: same file structure, entry points, and npm package
names. The goal is to match what will eventually be released in stable
as closely as possible, but with additional features turned on.
Versioning and Releasing
------------------------
The experimental builds will be published to the same registry and
package names as the stable ones. However, they will be versioned using
a separate scheme. Instead of semver versions, experimental releases
will receive arbitrary version strings based on their content hashes.
The motivation is to thwart attempts to use a version range to match
against future experimental releases. The only way to install or depend
on an experimental release is to refer to the specific version number.
Building
--------
I did not use the existing feature flag infra to configure the
experimental builds. The reason is because feature flags are designed
to configure a single package. They're not designed to generate multiple
forks of the same package; for each set of feature flags, you must
create a separate package configuration.
Instead, I've added a new build dimension called the **release
channel**. By default, builds use the **stable** channel. There's
also an **experimental** release channel. We have the option to add more
in the future.
There are now two dimensions per artifact: build type (production,
development, or profiling), and release channel (stable or
experimental). These are separate dimensions because they are
combinatorial: there are stable and experimental production builds,
stable and experimental developmenet builds, and so on.
You can add something to an experimental build by gating on
`__EXPERIMENTAL__`, similar to how we use `__DEV__`. Anything inside
these branches will be excluded from the stable builds.
This gives us a low effort way to add experimental behavior in any
package without setting up feature flags or configuring a new package.
