This commit upgrades TypeScript from 5.4 to 5.5 and enables the
`noImplicitAny` option for stricter type checking. It refactors code to
comply with `noImplicitAny` and adapts to new TypeScript features and
limitations.
Key changes:
- Migrate from TypeScript 5.4 to 5.5
- Enable `noImplicitAny` for stricter type checking
- Refactor code to comply with new TypeScript features and limitations
Other supporting changes:
- Refactor progress bar handling for type safety
- Drop 'I' prefix from interfaces to align with new code convention
- Update TypeScript target from `ES2017` and `ES2018`.
This allows named capturing groups. Otherwise, new TypeScript compiler
does not compile the project and shows the following error:
```
...
TimestampedFilenameGenerator.spec.ts:105:23 - error TS1503: Named capturing groups are only available when targeting 'ES2018' or later
const pattern = /^(?<timestamp>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}_\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{2})-(?<scriptName>[^.]+?)(?:\.(?<extension>[^.]+))?$/;// timestamp-scriptName.extension
...
```
- Refactor usage of `electron-progressbar` for type safety and
less complexity.
This commit upgrades TypeScript to the latest version 5.3 and introduces
`verbatimModuleSyntax` in line with the official Vue guide
recommendatinos (vuejs/docs#2592).
By enforcing `import type` for type-only imports, this commit improves
code clarity and supports tooling optimization, ensuring imports are
only bundled when necessary for runtime.
Changes:
- Bump TypeScript to 5.3.3 across the project.
- Adjust import statements to utilize `import type` where applicable,
promoting cleaner and more efficient code.
- Include the script's directory path #304.
- Exclude Windows-specific instructions on non-Windows OS.
- Standardize language across dialogs for consistency.
Other supporting changes:
- Add script diagnostics data collection from main process.
- Document script file storage and execution tamper protection in
SECURITY.md.
- Remove redundant comment in `NodeReadbackFileWriter`.
- Centralize error display for uniformity and simplicity.
- Simpify `WindowVariablesValidator` to omit checks when not on the
renderer process.
- Improve and centralize Electron environment detection.
- Use more emphatic language (don't worry) in error messages.
This commit introduces native operating system file dialogs in the
desktop application replacing the existing web-based dialogs.
It lays the foundation for future enhancements such as:
- Providing error messages when saving or executing files, addressing
#264.
- Creating system restore points, addressing #50.
Documentation updates:
- Update `desktop-vs-web-features.md` with added functionality.
- Update `README.md` with security feature highlights.
- Update home page documentation to emphasize security features.
Other supporting changes include:
- Integrate IPC communication channels for secure Electron dialog API
interactions.
- Refactor `IpcRegistration` for more type-safety and simplicity.
- Introduce a Vue hook to encapsulate dialog functionality.
- Improve errors during IPC registration for easier troubleshooting.
- Move `ClientLoggerFactory` for consistency in hooks organization and
remove `LoggerFactory` interface for simplicity.
- Add tests for the save file dialog in the browser context.
- Add `Blob` polyfill in tests to compensate for the missing
`blob.text()` function in `jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2555).
Improve environment detection logic:
- Treat test environment as browser environments to correctly activate
features based on the environment. This resolves issues where the
environment is misidentified as desktop, but Electron preloader APIs
are missing.
- Rename `isDesktop` environment identification variable to
`isRunningAsDesktopApplication` for better clarity and to avoid
confusion with desktop environments in web/browser/test environments.
- Simplify `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to consistently detect
non-desktop application environments.
- Improve environment detection for Electron main process
(electron/electron#2288).
This commit fixes an issue seen on certain Windows environments (Windows
10 22H2 and 11 23H2 Pro Azure VMs) where scripts were being deleted
during execution due to temporary directory usage. To resolve this,
scripts are now stored in a persistent directory, enhancing reliability
for long-running scripts and improving auditability along with
troubleshooting.
Key changes:
- Move script execution logic to the `main` process from `preloader` to
utilize Electron's `app.getPath`.
- Improve runtime environment detection for non-browser environments to
allow its usage in Electron main process.
- Introduce a secure module to expose IPC channels from the main process
to the renderer via the preloader process.
Supporting refactorings include:
- Simplify `CodeRunner` interface by removing the `tempScriptFolderName`
parameter.
- Rename `NodeSystemOperations` to `NodeElectronSystemOperations` as it
now wraps electron APIs too, and convert it to class for simplicity.
- Rename `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` to `ScriptFileCodeRunner` to reflect
its new functinoality.
- Rename `SystemOperations` folder to `System` for simplicity.
- Rename `HostRuntimeEnvironment` to `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` for
clarity.
- Refactor main Electron process configuration to align with latest
Electron documentation/recommendations.
- Refactor unit tests `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to simplify singleton
workaround.
- Use alias imports like `electron/main` and `electron/common` for
better clarity.
This commit enhances application security against potential attacks by
isolating dependencies that access the host system (like file
operations) from the renderer process. It narrows the exposed
functionality to script execution only, adding an extra security layer.
The changes allow secure and scalable API exposure, preparing for future
functionalities such as desktop notifications for script errors (#264),
improved script execution handling (#296), and creating restore points
(#50) in a secure and repeatable way.
Changes include:
- Inject `CodeRunner` into Vue components via dependency injection.
- Move `CodeRunner` to the application layer as an abstraction for
better domain-driven design alignment.
- Refactor `SystemOperations` and related interfaces, removing the `I`
prefix.
- Update architecture documentation for clarity.
- Update return types in `NodeSystemOperations` to match the Node APIs.
- Improve `WindowVariablesProvider` integration tests for better error
context.
- Centralize type checks with common functions like `isArray` and
`isNumber`.
- Change `CodeRunner` to use `os` parameter, ensuring correct window
variable injection.
- Streamline API exposure to the renderer process:
- Automatically bind function contexts to prevent loss of original
context.
- Implement a way to create facades (wrapper/proxy objects) for
increased security.
