https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/32529 added a dynamic flag for
this, but that breaks tests since the flags are not defined everywhere.
However, this is a static value and the flag is only for supporting
existing tests. So we can override it in the test config, and make it
static at built time instead.
Concurrent by default has been unshipped! Let's clean it up.
Here we remove `forceConcurrentByDefaultForTesting`, which allows us to
run tests against both concurrent strategies. In the next PR, we'll
remove the actual concurrent by default code path.
These were made dynamic again in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/27919, and already have the
dynamic flags set. It's a bummer to push this around, we should come up
with a better way.
## Overview
Does a few things:
- Renames `enableSyncDefaultUpdates` to
`forceConcurrentByDefaultForTesting`
- Changes the way it's used so it's dead-code eliminated separate from
`allowConcurrentByDefault`
- Deletes a bunch of the gated code
The gates that are deleted are unnecessary now. We were keeping them
when we originally thought we would come back to being concurrent by
default. But we've shifted and now sync-by default is the desired
behavior long term, so there's no need to keep all these forked tests
around.
I'll follow up to delete more of the forked behavior if possible.
Ideally we wouldn't need this flag even if we're still using
`allowConcurrentByDefault`.
With df12d7eac4 I accidentally made it so
that tests aren't run with the 2 variant modes for most
SchedulerFeatureFlags anymore. This fixes it with the same approach as
ee4233bdbc.
Test Plan:
Run and notice the boolean flags follow the variant:
```
yarn test-www --variant=true
yarn test-www --variant=false
```
Adding `.internal` to a test file prevents it from being tested in build
mode. The best practice is to instead gate the test based on whether the
feature is enabled.
Ideally we'd use the `@gate` pragma in these tests, but the `itRenders`
test helpers don't support that.
The www builds include disableLegacyContext as a dynamic flag, so we
should be running the tests in that mode, too. Previously we were
overriding the flag during the test run. This strategy usually doesn't
work because the flags get compiled out in the final build, but we
happen to not test www in build mode, only source.
To get of this hacky override, I added a test gate to every test that
uses legacy context. When we eventually remove legacy context from the
codebase, this should make it slightly easier to find which tests are
affected. And removes one more hack from our hack-ridden test config.
Given that sometimes www has features enabled that aren't on in other
builds, we might want to consider testing its build artifacts in CI,
rather than just source. That would have forced this cleanup to happen
sooner. Currently we only test the public builds in CI.
I copied the set up we use for React.
In the www-variant test job, the Scheduler `__VARIANT__` flags will be
`true`. When writing a test, we can read the value of the flag with the
`gate` pragma and method.
Note: Since these packages are currently released in lockstep, maybe we
should remove SchedulerFeatureFlags and use ReactFeatureFlags for both.
Currently, in a React 18 root, `act` only works if you mock the
Scheduler package. This was because we didn't want to add additional
checks at runtime.
But now that the `act` testing API is dev-only, we can simplify its
implementation.
Now when an update is wrapped with `act`, React will bypass Scheduler
entirely and push its tasks onto a special internal queue. Then, when
the outermost `act` scope exists, we'll flush that queue.
I also removed the "wrong act" warning, because the plan is to move
`act` to an isomorphic entry point, simlar to `startTransition`. That's
not directly related to this PR, but I didn't want to bother
re-implementing that warning only to immediately remove it.
I'll add the isomorphic API in a follow up.
Note that the internal version of `act` that we use in our own tests
still depends on mocking the Scheduler package, because it needs to work
in production. I'm planning to move that implementation to a shared
(internal) module, too.
* Define global __WWW__ = true flag during www tests
We already do that for __PERSISTENT__.
* Use @gate www in ReactSuspenseCallback
This allows it to not be internal anymore. We test it against the www build.
In CI, we run our test suite against multiple build configurations. For
example, we run our tests in both dev and prod, and in both the
experimental and stable release channels. This is to prevent accidental
deviations in behavior between the different builds. If there's an
intentional deviation in behavior, the test author must account
for them.
However, we currently don't run tests against the www builds. That's
a problem, because it's common for features to land in www before they
land anywhere else, including the experimental release channel.
Typically we do this so we can gradually roll out the feature behind
a flag before deciding to enable it.
The way we test those features today is by mutating the
`shared/ReactFeatureFlags` module. There are a few downsides to this
approach, though. The flag is only overridden for the specific tests or
test suites where you apply the override. But usually what you want is
to run *all* tests with the flag enabled, to protect against unexpected
regressions.
Also, mutating the feature flags module only works when running the
tests against source, not against the final build artifacts, because the
ReactFeatureFlags module is inlined by the build script.
Instead, we should run the test suite against the www configuration,
just like we do for prod, experimental, and so on. I've added a new
command, `yarn test-www`. It automatically runs in CI.
Some of the www feature flags are dynamic; that is, they depend on
a runtime condition (i.e. a GK). These flags are imported from an
external module that lives in www. Those flags will be enabled for some
clients and disabled for others, so we should run the tests against
*both* modes.
So I've added a new global `__VARIANT__`, and a new test command `yarn
test-www-variant`. `__VARIANT__` is set to false by default; when
running `test-www-variant`, it's set to true.
If we were going for *really* comprehensive coverage, we would run the
tests against every possible configuration of feature flags: 2 ^
numberOfFlags total combinations. That's not practical, though, so
instead we only run against two combinations: once with `__VARIANT__`
set to `true`, and once with it set to `false`. We generally assume that
flags can be toggled independently, so in practice this should
be enough.
You can also refer to `__VARIANT__` in tests to detect which mode you're
running in. Or, you can import `shared/ReactFeatureFlags` and read the
specific flag you can about. However, we should stop mutating that
module going forward. Treat it as read-only.
In this commit, I have only setup the www tests to run against source.
I'll leave running against build for a follow up.
Many of our tests currently assume they run only in the default
configuration, and break when certain flags are toggled. Rather than fix
these all up front, I've hard-coded the relevant flags to the default
values. We can incrementally migrate those tests later.
