Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2020-05-13 14:26:13 UTC
When installing the Debian package of Koha, we install the Debian tinymce package and symlink over our own tinymce libs that are in the Koha codebase. This version of tinymce does not have the same files and because of this, tinymce does not get loaded.

We should remove the use of the tinymce Debian package, and just use our own version of TinyMCE.

We should remove the use of the tinymce Debian package, and just use our own version of TinyMCE.

Test Plan:
1) Install Koha 19.11 from package
2) Browse to the news editor
4) Note the WYSIWYG editor is missing
5) Build a new Koha package with this patch applied, install it
6) Reload the news editor
7) Note the WYSIWYG editor is back!
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2020-05-14 15:38:07 UTC
Hi Kyle, I am seeing a 'partial' breakage in 18.11, could this be related? TinyMCE loads, but when I click on 'link' for example, the pop-up is not formatted nicely and the dev tools report at least 2 files missing, one being:
/cgi-bin/koha/tools/themes/advanced/skins/default/dialog.css
Comment 3 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-05-14 17:14:06 UTC
If you don't have the same Koha and/or Debian version we can expect variations. Like only the CSS file missing while the rest is not broken.
Comment 4 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2020-05-14 22:50:07 UTC
This is amazing.
Comment 5 David Cook 2020-05-14 23:59:31 UTC

> This is amazing.

I know, right?

I've often wondered why we used Debian's tinymce package. I think we used to do the same thing with the yui Javascript. 

And we're requiring Debian's libjs-jquery package too, although I don't think that actually gets used anywhere?

I don't think that this test plan is 100% sufficient, but it is a hard one to explain well...

At a glance, it looks like this should cause a problem? But maybe I'm misreading the rules file.

So I removed that rule in my test, but that also meant the existing symlink didn't get removed... so I had to unlink the symlink and then reinstall the koha-common package...

As I noted above, I found this wasn't a sufficient test plan.

I did something like this:

0) Applied Kyle's patch + manually updated debian/control and removed a questionable line in debian/rules
1) Built the koha-common package
2) Unlinked /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/lib/tiny_mce in my target environment
3) Installed (ie upgraded) Koha package
4) Noted the WYSIWYG editor is back!

So... not sure this one is quite there yet.
Comment 10 David Cook 2020-05-15 03:06:43 UTC
Actually, I'll do more testing without my changes... going back to "Needs Signoff"

Comment 12 David Cook 2020-05-15 07:21:03 UTC
I think this one needs more testing, but on my initial tests it doesn't work when upgrading Koha. I imagine it would work for installing Koha initially though.
Comment 13 David Cook 2020-05-15 07:28:26 UTC
Ok when I removed everything tiny_mce related from debian/rules, it installed the bundled tinymce overtop of /usr/share/tinymce/www through the existing symlink for my already existing Koha installation. Yikes.

I should've tested with Kyle's original patch, but it's overtime on Friday night, so will have to leave that to someone else, or I can revisit on Monday...
Comment 14 Katrin Fischer 2020-05-15 14:22:09 UTC
Hm, we tested an 18.11.16 package with Kyle's patch but the Editor is now gone:

ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined
tinyMCE.baseURL = "/intranet-tmpl/lib/tiny_mce";

Not the result I was hoping for to fix our issues :(

So you rebuilt the package?

Yes, we built a new package and used it to update an existing 18.11.11 installation. It could be the fix doesn't apply to 18.11 or that someting is not quite right yet.

Why do we do this?

We used to offer the option of loading YUI from Yahoo's CDN.
Comment 18 Katrin Fischer 2020-05-15 18:47:26 UTC
I came to the conclusion that the TinyMCE problem on 18.11.16 is a different problem - I found a workaround I will attach to bug 25519.
Sorry for adding to the confusion here.

> 1) Install Koha 19.11 from package

IIUC from various IRC discussions the cleanest way[1] to test this while being simple enough be less like likely to be messed up is:
- make packages with https://hub.docker.com/r/koha/koha-dpkg
- spin a standard Debian (9?) however one wants (container, VM, VPS)
- install the packages following https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian

Anything missing?

Getting the following on master:

cp: cannot stat 'debian/tmp/debian/tmp/etc/koha/searchengine': No such file or directory
dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/debian/tmp/etc/koha/searchengine debian/koha-common//etc/koha/ returned exit code 1
debian/rules:9: recipe for target 'binary' failed

But I don't think it relates to this patch.

Looks like Bug 24735 got rid of etc/searchengine/queryparser.yml, but Bugzilla says that bug was pushed to master at the start of March...

I guess I probably haven't been building master packages since then but https://dashboard.koha-community.org/ says the master build is still passing on D9?

See Bug 25068
Comment 25 David Cook 2020-05-18 03:28:14 UTC
Ok with Bug 25068's patch and this one (plus a manual update to debian/control), I was able to create a package.

Next, I inspected the files in the package:
dpkg-deb -c koha-common_19.12.00-test+20200518031703.33335a5d-1_all.deb

As I anticipated, it looks like /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/lib/tiny_mce has been removed (as the debian/rules file removes it).

I'll add a follow-up patch...

The package now includes the tiny_mce files, but it's not removing the symlink, which is a problem. See Bug 14055 for the YUI related issue.

The CI is not an actual build unfortunately. It's spinning up koha-testing-docker which is a gitified install (if I got the terminology right) like the DevBox and then runs all the tests. But no tests for package build yet.

Fortunately these two projects (including yours :)) are good bases to move it that direction.
