This commit improves the URL health checking mechanism to reduce false
negatives.
- Treat all 2XX status codes as successful, addressing issues with codes
like `204`.
- Exclude URLs within Markdown inline code blocks.
- Send the Host header for improved handling of webpages behind proxies.
- Improve formatting and context for output messages.
- Fix the defaulting options for redirects and cookie handling.
- Add URL exclusion support for non-responsive URLs.
- Update the user agent pool to modern browsers and platforms.
- Improve CI/CD workflow to respond to modifications in the
`test/checks/external-urls` directory, offering immediate feedback on
potential impacts to the external URL test.
- Add support for randomizing TLS fingerprint to mimic various clients
better, improving the effectiveness of checks. However, this is not
fully supported by Node.js's HTTP client; see nodejs/undici#1983 for
more details.
- Use `AbortSignal` instead of `AbortController` as more modern and
simpler way to handle timeouts.
This commit updates various dependencies to their latest versions.
Other changes include:
- Moved the following from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`:
- `electron-log`
- `electron-updater`
- Remove `npm` dependency.
- Code changes:
- Add type casting in several places to align with the latest
`typescript` version.
- Adopt to new return type of `setTimeout`.
- Dependencies not upgraded due to
`@vue/eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript` not supporting
`@eslint-typescript` V6 (see vuejs/eslint-config-airbnb#58):
- `vue/eslint-config-typescript`
- `@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin`
- `@typescript-eslint/parser`
- Enable video recording for cypress as it's disabled by default since
13.X.X.
This commit addresses occasional pipeline failures caused by transient
network errors during dependency installation with `npm ci`. It
centralizes the logic for installing npm dependencies and introduces a
retry mechanism.
The new approach will attempt `npm ci` up to 5 times with a 5-second
interval between each attempt, thereby increasing the resilience of
CI/CD pipelines.
This commit adds a new script `npm-install.js` with `npm run
install-deps` command to centralize npm dependency installation process
throughout the project. Separate testing of scripts to a separate
workflow.
It removes unused `install` dependency from `package.json`.
- Move external URL checks to its own module under `tests/`. This
separates them from integration test, addressing long runs and
frequent failures that led to ignoring test results.
- Move `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to `tests/checks` to keep all
test-related checks into one directory.
- Replace `ts-node` with `vite` for running
`check-desktop-runtime-errors` to maintain a consistent execution
environment across checks.
- Implement a timeout for each fetch call.
- Be nice to external sources, wait 5 seconds before sending another
request to an URL under same domain. This solves rate-limiting issues.
- Instead of running test on every push/pull request, run them only
weekly.
- Do not run tests on each commit/PR but only scheduled (weekly) to
minimize noise.
- Fix URLs are not captured correctly inside backticks or parenthesis.
