Migrates the Angular project from Rake to Grunt.
Benefits:
- Drops Ruby dependency
- Lowers barrier to entry for contributions from JavaScript ninjas
- Simplifies the Angular project setup and build process
- Adopts industry-standard tools specific to JavaScript projects
- Support building angular.js on Windows platform (really?!? why?!?)
BREAKING CHANGE: Rake is completely replaced by Grunt. Below are the deprecated Rake tasks and their Grunt equivalents:
rake --> grunt
rake package --> grunt package
rake init --> N/A
rake clean --> grunt clean
rake concat_scenario --> grunt build:scenario
rake concat --> grunt build
rake concat_scenario --> grunt build:scenario
rake minify --> grunt minify
rake version --> grunt write:version
rake docs --> grunt docs
rake webserver --> grunt webserver
rake test --> grunt test
rake test:unit --> grunt test:unit
rake test:<jqlite|jquery|modules|e2e> --> grunt test:<jqlite|jquery|modules|end2end|e2e>
rake test[Firefox+Safari] --> grunt test --browsers Firefox,Safari
rake test[Safari] --> grunt test --browsers Safari
rake autotest --> grunt autotest
NOTES:
* For convenience grunt test:e2e starts a webserver for you, while grunt test:end2end doesn't.
Use grunt test:end2end if you already have the webserver running.
* Removes duplicate entry for Describe.js in the angularScenario section of angularFiles.js
* Updates docs/src/gen-docs.js to use #done intead of the deprecated #end
* Uses grunt-contrib-connect instead of lib/nodeserver (removed)
* Removes nodeserver.sh, travis now uses grunt webserver
* Built and minified files are identical to Rake's output, with the exception of one less
character for git revisions (using --short) and a couple minor whitespace differences
Closes#199
previously we barfed on function type definition with optional arguments
like {function(number=)}
this fixes it
I also added a bunch of code that helps to debug incorrectly parsed docs.
we now have two types of namespaces:
- true namespace: angular.* - used for all global apis
- virtual namespace: ng.*, ngMock.*, ... - used for all DI modules
the virual namespaces have services under the second namespace level (e.g. ng.)
and filters and directives prefixed with filter: and directive: respectively
(e.g. ng.filter:orderBy, ng.directive:ngRepeat)
this simplifies urls and makes them a lot shorter while still avoiding name collisions
using appcache while running e2e tests was causing the following
problems:
- Safari would occasionally reload the app (as a result of the appcache
refresh) during the angular.validator.asychronous test, which would
result in test failure and false positivy.
- Firefox6 would run the tests very slowly, disabling the cache resolved
the latency issues
- Sometimes tests would run with stale code pulled from cache, which
would result in flaky tests.
- Configure our docs app to use new $location with html5 history api!
- Update simple node web server to serve index.html for all links
(rewritting).
- Update .htaccess file to serve index.html for all links (rewritting).
- At runtime determine the base href path and attach it to the DOM. We
needed the absolute URL to get all browsers to work well.
- Because of the above, we also need to dynamically determine all needed
js/css resources and add them to the DOM. This was needed because FF6
would eagerly fetch resources with wrong URL since the base element is
added to the dom at runtime.
- All content html files were moved to the partials directory, because
with the new html5 urls it was impossible to tell if request for
http://domain/api/angular.filter.html was an html5 url for the html
filter doc page, or an xhr/appcache request for the content html file
for the html filter.
f
- e2e tests will run index.html (without jquery) and with
index-jq.html(with jquery).
- many small changes to make e2e tests work withough JQuery as we
discover problems that were previously hidden by using real JQuery.
