Add tests for the `block-tracker-inspector` middleware — which makes
sure that the block tracker never has a reference to the latest block
which is less than a block number that shows up in an RPC method's
response — and the Infura middleware — which takes care of sending the
request to Infura, and will retry the request up to 5 times if Infura
sends back a certain type of error.
Note that the `retry-on-empty` middleware is not tested because it
currently has a [bug][1] which is making it ineffective.

As we convert parts of the codebase to TypeScript, we will want a way to
track progress. This commit adds a dashboard which displays all of the
files that we wish to convert to TypeScript and which files we've
already converted.
The list of all possible files to convert is predetermined by walking
the dependency graph of each entrypoint the build system uses to compile
the extension (the files that the entrypoint imports, the files that the
imports import, etc). The list should not need to be regenerated, but
you can do it by running:
yarn ts-migration:enumerate
The dashboard is implemented as a separate React app. The CircleCI
configuration has been updated so that when a new commit is pushed, the
React app is built and stored in the CircleCI artifacts. When a PR is
merged, the built files will be pushed to a separate repo whose sole
purpose is to serve the dashboard via GitHub Pages (this is the same
way that the Storybook works). All of the app code and script to build
the app are self-contained under
`development/ts-migration-dashboard`. To build this app yourself, you
can run:
yarn ts-migration:dashboard:build
or if you want to build automatically as you change files, run:
yarn ts-migration:dashboard:watch
Then open the following file in your browser (there is no server
component):
development/ts-migration-dashboard/build/index.html
Finally, although you shouldn't have to do this, to manually deploy the
dashboard once built, you can run:
git remote add ts-migration-dashboard git@github.com:MetaMask/metamask-extension-ts-migration-dashboard.git
yarn ts-migration:dashboard:deploy
The build script now uses `yargs` rather than `minimist`. The CLI is
now better documented, and we have additional validation for each
option.
A patch for `yargs` was required because it would blow up on the line
`Error.captureStackTrace`. For some reason when running under LavaMoat,
that property did not exist.
Closes#12766
This commit modifies the build system so that TypeScript files can be
transpiled into ES5 just like JavaScript files.
Note that this commit does NOT change the build system to run TypeScript
files through the TypeScript compiler. In other words, no files will be
type-checked at the build stage, as we expect type-checking to be
handled elsewhere (live, via your editor integration with `tsserver`,
and before a PR is merged, via `yarn lint`). Rather, we merely instruct
Babel to strip TypeScript-specific syntax from any files that have it,
as if those files had been written using JavaScript syntax alone.
Why take this approach? Because it prevents the build process from being
negatively impacted with respect to performance (as TypeScript takes a
significant amount of time to run).
It's worth noting the downside of this approach: because we aren't
running files through TypeScript, but relying on Babel's [TypeScript
transform][1] to identify TypeScript syntax, this transform has to keep
up with any syntax changes that TypeScript adds in the future. In fact
there are a few syntactical forms that Babel already does not recognize.
These forms are rare or are deprecated by TypeScript, so I don't
consider them to be a blocker, but it's worth noting just in case it
comes up later. Also, any settings we place in `tsconfig.json` will be
completely ignored by Babel. Again, this isn't a blocker because there
are some analogs for the most important settings reflected in the
options we can pass to the transform. These and other caveats are
detailed in the [documentation for the transform][2].

This commit allows developers to write TypeScript files and lint them
(either via a language server in their editor of choice or through the
`yarn lint` command).
The new TypeScript configuration as well as the updated ESLint
configuration not only includes support for parsing TypeScript files,
but also provides some compatibility between JavaScript and TypeScript.
That is, it makes it possible for a TypeScript file that imports a
JavaScript file or a JavaScript file that imports a TypeScript file to
be linted.
Note that this commit does not integrate TypeScript into the build
system yet, so we cannot start converting files to TypeScript and
pushing them to the repo until that final step is complete.
We would like to insert TypeScript into the ESLint configuration, and
because of the way that the current config is organized, that is not
easy to do.
Most files are assumed to be files that are suited for running in a
browser context. This isn't correct, as we should expect most files to
work in a Node context instead. This is because all browser-based files
will be run through a transpiler that is able to make use of
Node-specific variables anyway.
There are a couple of important ways we can categories files which our
ESLint config should be capable of handling well:
* Is the file a script or a module? In other words, does the file run
procedurally or is the file intended to be brought into an existing
file?
* If the file is a module, does it use the CommonJS syntax (`require()`)
or does it use the ES syntax (`import`/`export`)?
When we introduce TypeScript, this set of questions will become:
* Is the file a script or a module?
* If the file is a module, is it a JavaScript module or a TypeScript
module?
* If the file is a JavaScript module, does it use the CommonJS syntax
(`require()`) or does it use the ES syntax (`import`/`export`)?
To represent these divisions, this commit removes global rules — so now
all of the rules are kept in `overrides` for explicitness — and sets up
rules for CommonJS- and ES-module-compatible files that intentionally do
not overlap with each other. This way TypeScript (which has its own set
of rules independent from JavaScript and therefore shouldn't overlap
with the other rules either) can be easily added later.
Finally, this commit splits up the ESLint config into separate files and
adds documentation to each section. This way sets of rules which are
connected to a particular plugin (`jsdoc`, `@babel`, etc.) can be easily
understood instead of being obscured.
ESLint rules have been added to enforce our JSDoc conventions. These
rules were introduced by updating `@metamask/eslint-config` to v9.
Some of the rules have been disabled because the effort to fix all lint
errors was too high. It might be easiest to enable these rules one
directory at a time, or one rule at a time.
Most of the changes in this PR were a result of running
`yarn lint:fix`. There were a handful of manual changes that seemed
obvious and simple to make. Anything beyond that and the rule was left
disabled.
This PR adds one LavaMoat background script policy or each build type. It also renames the build system policy directory from `node` to `build-system` to make its purpose more clear. Each build type has the original `policy-override.json` for `main` builds. The `.prettierignore` file has been updated to match the locations of the new auto-generated policy files.
We need to maintain separate policies for each build type because each type will produce different bundles with different internal and external modules.
