[PATCHv2 00/11] gitweb: Change timezone in dates using JavaScript

[Jakub Narebski]

This is second version of this series.  First version was sent as

  [PATCH 00/11] gitweb: Change timezone
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/171212

The major issue left is that changing (selecting) timezone doesn't
work on Chrome / Chromium, as reported by Kevin Cernekee.  See patch
10/11 for more details.

NOTE that this time, in this version of series, the path-by-patch
comparison with original J.H. patches is not provided.  It would be
re-added in the final version.


This is split version (with assorted cleanups) of J.H. patch adding
JavaScript-base ability to change timezone in which dates are
displayed.

  [PATCH 0/1] Gitweb: Change timezone
    [PATCH 1/1] gitweb: javascript ability to adjust time based on timezone
  Message-Id: <1300925335-3212-1-git-send-email-warthog9@eaglescrag.net>
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/169384/focus=169881

Below there is copy of original J.H. announcement:
JH>
JH> This is just a javascript implementation of Kevin's localtime
JH> feature.  It's pretty straight forward, though date handling in
JH> Javascript is, special (head bangingly so).
JH> 
JH> This should be good to run on any browser, with the safe fallback
JH> of UTC being the default output should Javascript not work / be
JH> available.

  The main part.  The major part of changes is fixing noted issues,
  and bugs reported by Kevin Cernekee in response to v1 of series.

  The first patch of two, 10/11, includes additionally some
  refactorings that should make code cleaner and easier to follow
  (reducing size of functions).

  This is the same or nearly the same version of those two patches as
  sent to git mailing list as:

[PATCH 01/11] gitweb: Split JavaScript for maintability, combining on build

[Jakub Narebski]

Split originally single gitweb.js file into smaller files, each
dealing with single issue / area of responsibility.  This move should
make gitweb's JavaScript code easier to maintain.

For better webapp performance it is recommended[1][2][3] to combine
JavaScript files.  Do it during build time (in gitweb/Makefile), by
straight concatenation of files into gitweb.js file (which is now
ignored as being generated).  This means that there are no changes to
gitweb script itself - it still uses gitweb.js or gitweb.min.js, but
now generated.

Unchanged from v1 version.


What is unfortunately not visible from diffstat below is that it is
almost straightforward split of original gitweb/statis/gitweb.js file,
with only some header and footer comments added.

Is there any magic git-diff / git-show invocation that is able to turn
diff describing splitting a file into patch involving solely renames /
copies in split result?

+GIT web interface (gitweb) - JavaScript
+=======================================
+
+This directory holds JavaScript code used by gitweb (GIT web interface).
+Scripts from there would be concatenated together in the order specified
+by gitweb/Makefile into gitweb/static/gitweb.js, during building of
+gitweb/gitweb.cgi (during gitweb building).  The resulting file (or its
+minification) would then be installed / deployed together with gitweb.
+
+Scripts in 'lib/' subdirectory compose generic JavaScript library,
+providing features required by gitweb but in no way limited to gitweb
+only.  In the future those scripts could be replaced by some JavaScript
+library / framework, like e.g. jQuery, YUI, Prototype, MooTools, Dojo,
+ExtJS, Script.aculo.us or SproutCore.
+
+All scripts that manipulate gitweb output should be put outside 'lib/',
+directly in this directory ('gitweb/static/js/').  Those scripts would
+have to be rewritten if gitweb moves to using some JavaScript library.
+
+See also comments in gitweb/Makefile.

[PATCH 02/11] gitweb.js: Update and improve comments in JavaScript files

[Jakub Narebski]

This consists of adding a few extra explanation, fixing descriptions
of functions to match names of parameters in code, adding a few
separators, and fixing spelling -- while at it spell 'neighbor' using
American spelling (and not as 'neighbour').

This is post-split cleanup.

[PATCH 03/11] gitweb.js: Provide default values for padding in padLeftStr and padLeft

[Jakub Narebski]

This means that one can use padLeft(4, 2) and it would be equivalent
to runing padLeft(4, 2, '0'), and it would return '04' i.e. '4' padded
with '0' to width 2, to be used e.g. in formatting date and time.

This should make those functions easier to use.  Current code doesn't
yet make use of this feature.

This patch is unchanged from v1 version.

This patch is not strictly necessary, but it makes those functions
easier to use, I guess.  Removing this patch would require though some
trivially resolvable changes to subsequent commits in this series.

[PATCH 04/11] gitweb.js: Extract and improve datetime handling

[Jakub Narebski]

Move formatDateISOLocal(epoch, timezone) function (and also helper
timezoneOffset(timezoneInfo) function it requires) from common-lib.js to
datetime.js

Add new functions:
* localTimezoneOffset - to get browser timezone offset in seconds
* localTimezoneInfo   - to get browser timezone in '(+|-)HHMM' format
* formatTimezoneInfo - turn offset in hours and minutes into '(+|-)HHMM'
* parseRFC2822Date - to parse RFC-2822 dates that gitweb uses into epoch
* formatDateRFC2882 - like formatDateISOLocal, only RFC-2822 format

All those functions are meant to be used in future commit
'gitweb: javascript ability to adjust time based on timezone'

An alternative would be to use e.g. Datejs (http://www.datejs.com)
library.


While at it escape '-' in character class inside tzRe regexp, as
recommended by JSLint (http://www.jslint.com).

[PATCH 06/11] gitweb.js: Provide getElementsByClassName method (if it not exists)

[Jakub Narebski]

The code is simplified and does not support full specification of
native getElementsByClassName method, but implements just subset that
would be enough for gitweb, supporting only single class name.

This patch makes subsequent timezone manipulation work on Mozilla
1.17.2 which doesn't have document.getElementsByClassName (while
native implementation is used e.g. for Firefox 4.0).

[PATCH 07/11] gitweb: Refactor generating of long dates into format_timestamp_html

[Jakub Narebski]

It is pure refactoring and doesn't change gitweb output, though this
could potentially affect 'summary', 'log', and 'commit'-like views
('commit', 'commitdiff', 'tag').

Remove print_local_time and format_local_time, as their use is now
replaced (indirectly) by using format_timestamp_html.


While at it improve whitespace formatting.

This patch is unchanged from previous v1 version.

Note that this patch could be squashed with the next patch in series,
but I think that split version (pure refactoring + change in behavior)
is easier to review.

[PATCH 08/11] gitweb: Unify the way long timestamp is displayed

[Jakub Narebski]

format_timestamp_html loses its "-localtime => 1" option, and now
always print the local time (in author/comitter/tagger local
timezone), with "atnight" warning if needed.

This means that both 'summary' and 'log' views now display localtime.
In the case of 'log' view this can be thought as an improvement, as
now one can easily see which commits in a series are made "atnight"
and should be examined closer.

This patch is unchanged from v1 version.

It was marked in previous version of this series as an RFC, because I
wasn't sure about the look of gitweb after this patch... but it grew
up on me (well, I have a few doubts about new look of 'summary' page).

[PATCH 09/11] gitweb: JavaScript ability to adjust time based on timezone

[Jakub Narebski]

From: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@eaglescrag.net>

This patch is based on Kevin Cernekee's <cernekee@gmail.com>
patch series entitled "gitweb: introduce localtime feature".  While
Kevin's patch changed the server side output so that the timezone
was output from gitweb itself, this has a number of drawbacks, in
particular with respect to gitweb-caching.

This patch takes the same basic goal, display the appropriate times in
a given common timezone, and implements it in JavaScript.  This
requires adding / using a new class, "datetime", to be able to find
elements to be adjusted from JavaScript.  Appropriate dates are
wrapped in a span with this class.

Timezone to be used can be retrieved from "gitweb_tz" cookie, though
currently there is no way to set / manipulate this cookie from gitweb;
this is left for later commit.

Valid timezones, currently, are: "utc", "local" (which means that
timezone is taken from browser), and "+/-ZZZZ" numeric timezone as in
RFC-2822.  Default timezone is "local" (currently not configurable,
left for later commit).

Fallback (should JavaScript not be enabled) is to treat dates as they
have been and display them, only, in UTC.

Pages affected:
* 'summary' view, "last change" field (commit time from latest change)
* 'log' view, author time
* 'commit' and 'commitdiff' views, author/committer time
* 'tag' view, tagger time

The only change from v1 is fixing typo 'utf' -> 'utc' timezone.

[PATCHv2/RFC 10/11] gitweb.js: Add UI for selecting common timezone to display dates

[Jakub Narebski]

From: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@eaglescrag.net>

This will modify HTML, add CSS rules and add DOM event handlers so
that clicking on any date (the common part, not the localtime part)
will display a drop down menu to choose the timezone to change to.

Currently menu displays only the following timezones:

  utc
  local
  -1200
  -1100
  ...
  +1100
  +1200
  +1300
  +1400

In timezone selection menu each timezone is +1hr to the previous.  The
code is capable of handling fractional timezones, but those have not
been added to the menu.

All changes are saved to a cookie, so page changes and closing /
reopening browser retains the last known timezone setting used.

[jn: Changed from innerHTML to DOM, moved to event delegation for
onclick to trigger menu, added close button and cookie refreshing]

KNOWN BUGS:
===========
* Timezone selection doesn't work in Chromium 6.0.472.62 (59676) and
  Google Chrome 10.0.648.204:

  Uncaught Error: NOT_FOUND_ERR: DOM Exception 8
    removeChangeTZForm
    /gitweb-static/gitweb.js:785
  onTZFormChange

  line 785: var removed = container.removeChild(popup);

  It works in Mozilla 1.17.2, Konqueror 3.5.3, Firefox 3.6.15, 3.6.16
  and 4.0, Internet Explorer 8.0, Opera 10.63.

This is an RFC mainly because of bug in timezone selection on Chrome.
I'd have to come up with a simplified test case and hunt this bug
further.

Differences from v1:

* Fixed bug in gitweb.css that made style of timezone selection menu
  not working (because of parsing errors), and required to use
  <element>.style.cssText.

  I forgot that in CSS only /* ... */ are comments, and C++-like and
  JavaScript-like one-line // ... "\n" doesn't work.

* fixDatetimeTZ() didn't update timezone correctly if cookie was
  deleted and 'utc' timezone selected from menu.

  Now it is onloadTZSetup() that chooses if updating timezones is
  needed, as only there we can assume that dates use UTC timezone
  (that is how gitweb.perl formats it).

* Fix addCssRule for IE (typofix 'stylesheets' -> 'stylesheet').

  Because of browser incompatibility[1] there needs to be separate
  branch in addCssRule for Internet Explorer... which I didn't test
  before sending patch.  Thanks for Kevin Cernekee for reporting that
  for IE6 (misreported as graceful degradation).

  [1]: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_css.html#change 

* Change code so that the fact that Opera 10.63 resets
  target.selectedIndex to 1 after calling removeChangeTZForm()
  doesn't affect timezone selection result.

  This was fixed by simply changing the order of statements: now
  gitweb first checks which timezone was selected, then removes
  timezone selection menu.

  Reported by Kevin Cernekee.

* Moved from top+right to top+left absolute positioning (of .popup),
  because it works correctly in wider range of [buggy] web browsers

  With previous version, in 'log' view timezone menu was generated on
  the right side of whole page (of viewport), instead of at near date,
  as was the case with 'summary', 'commit', 'commitdiff', and 'tag'
  views... at least for some web browsers.

* removeChangeTZForm is more robust with respect to future changes.
  It no longer assumes that `target' is parent.lastChild, but follows
  element to be removed and its container up parentNode chain.

  This was an attempt to fix Chromium / Google Chrome bug, but it
  unfortunately didn't work.

* Pass all cookie parameters from gitweb.perl, and increase cookie
  expiration time from 7 to 14 days.

  In previous version the parameter passed down the callchain was
  tzCookieName, and expiration time and path parameters were hardcoded
  in _two_ places.  Now what is passed iz tzCookieInfo, an object
  literal that contains both cookie name and its parameters, including
  expiration time / duration, and path (important when using path_info
  URLs).

* Code refactoring, putting code in a new functions to reduce size of
  existing functions.  Namely:

  - Extract/refactor generateTZOptions function 
    (this makes createChangeTZForm code shorter)
  - select.onchange, select.onblur, close-button.onclick handlers
    are now generated (this makes createChangeTZForm code shorter)

[PATCHv2/RFC 11/11] gitweb: Make JavaScript ability to adjust timezones configurable

[Jakub Narebski]

Configure JavaScript-based ability to select common timezone for git
dates via %feature mechanism, namely 'javascript-timezone' feature.

The following settings are configurable:
* default timezone (defaults to 'local' i.e. browser timezone);
  this also can function as a way to disable this ability,
  by setting it to false-ish value (undef or '')
* name of cookie to store user's choice of timezone
* class name to mark dates


NOTE: This is a bit of abuse of %feature system, which can store only
sequence of values, rather than dictionary (hash); usually but not
always only a single value is used.

Something strange is happening here.  removeChangeTZForm looks like this:

  function removeChangeTZForm(documentFragment, target, tzClassName) {
	// find containing element, where we appended timezone selection UI
	// `target' is somewhere inside timezone menu
	var container = target.parentNode, popup = target;
	while (container &&
	       container.className !== tzClassName) {
		popup = container;
		container = container.parentNode;
	}
	// safety check if we found correct container,
	// and if it isn't deleted already
	if (!container || !popup ||
	    container.className !== tzClassName ||
	    popup.className     !== 'popup') {
		return documentFragment;
	}

	// timezone selection UI was appended as last child
	// see also displayChangeTZForm function
	var removed = container.removeChild(popup); // <--- !!! here Chrome throws exception !!!
	if (documentFragment.firstChild !== removed) { // the only child
		// re-append it so it would be available for next time
		documentFragment.appendChild(removed);
	}
	// all of inline style was added by this script
	container.removeAttribute('style');

	return documentFragment;
  }

Note that from above code one would assume that after first loop we
would assert that we always have  popup.parentNode === contained.
When working with JavaScript debugger in Google Chrome I have found
that at the time that exception is thrown popup.parentNode is
DocumentFragment, not HTMLElement / HTMLSpanElement.

Something strange is going there.  I'd check if not setting 'onblur'
event handler (which doesn't work as expected anyway) would help.

It helps -- Google Chrome works correctly now.

[PATCHv3 10/11] gitweb.js: Add UI for selecting common timezone to display dates

[Jakub Narebski]

From: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@eaglescrag.net>

This will modify HTML, add CSS rules and add DOM event handlers so
that clicking on any date (the common part, not the localtime part)
will display a drop down menu to choose the timezone to change to.

Currently menu displays only the following timezones:

  utc
  local
  -1200
  -1100
  ...
  +1100
  +1200
  +1300
  +1400

In timezone selection menu each timezone is +1hr to the previous.  The
code is capable of handling fractional timezones, but those have not
been added to the menu.

All changes are saved to a cookie, so page changes and closing /
reopening browser retains the last known timezone setting used.

[jn: Changed from innerHTML to DOM, moved to event delegation for
onclick to trigger menu, added close button and cookie refreshing]

Re: [PATCHv2 00/11] gitweb: Change timezone in dates using JavaScript

[Junio C Hamano]

This seems to break the build like this, by exposing a lack of dependency
somewhere in the Makefile:

    ...
    SUBDIR gitweb
make: *** No rule to make target `gitweb/static/gitweb.js', needed by `git-instaweb'.  Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Ah, thanks for report. and sorry for the bug.

This bug is caused by the fact that main Makefile doesn't know (as it should)
that gitweb.js is now generated file.

The trouble is how to write rule for gitweb/static/gitweb.js, proxying it
to gitweb/Makefile, without having to repeat its dependencies...

Perhaps something like that would be a good change, what do you think?

[PATCH -01/11] git-instaweb: Simplify build dependency on gitweb

[Jakub Narebski]

Since c0cb4ed (git-instaweb: Configure it to work with new gitweb
structure, 2010-05-28) git-instaweb does not re-create gitweb.cgi
etc., but makes use of installed gitweb.  Therefore simplify
git-instaweb dependency on gitweb subsystem in main Makefile from
'gitweb/gitweb.cgi gitweb/static/gitweb.css gitweb/static/gitweb.js'
to simply 'gitweb'.

This is preparation for splitting gitweb.perl script, and for
splitting gitweb.js (to be reassembled / combined on build).  This way
we don't have to duplicate parts of gitweb/Makefile in main
Makefile... it is also more correct description of git-instaweb
dependency.

Should be a lot saner thing to do.

Do we even need to know about JSMIN, GITWEB_JS, etc., in our main
Makefile?  Shouldn't we be delegating both the build and the install
targets to "$(MAKE) -C gitweb $@"?

How about that?

The patch below is to be after just sent "git-instaweb: Simplify build
dependency on gitweb", not necessary as last patch in series.

Note that I have left duplicated description of JSMIN and CSSMIN in main
Makefile; perhaps they also should be removed...

Subject: [PATCH 12/11] Remove gitweb/gitweb.cgi and other legacy targets from main Makefile

Now that there is gitweb/Makefile, let's leave only "gitweb" and
"install-gitweb" targets in main Makefile.  Those targets just
delegate to gitweb's Makefile.
