The Firefox extension version format does not support the version
format we use (SemVer), so we have to specially format the extension
version to be compatible. The format we chose was
`[major].[minor].[patch].[buildType][buildVersion]`. But when we tried
to submit a build with a version in that format, it was rejected as
invalid for unknown reasons.
The Firefox extension format has been updated to
`[major].[minor].[patch][buildType][buildVersion]`. This seems to pass
validation.
The `version_name` manifest field was being used on Chrome to store the
build type. However, Chrome intended this field to be a full
representation of the version, for display purposes. This was evident
when uploading this version to the Chrome Web Store, because it used
`flask` as the entire version.
Instead the `version_name` field now includes the full SemVer version
string. The version parsing code within the build script and in the
wallet itself have been updated accordingly.
The build script only allowed prerelease versions for the "beta" build
type (e.g. `X.Y.Z-beta.0`). Now it allows Flask prerelease versions as
well.
This is required for the Flask release, where the prerelease version
helps distinguish the Flask error reports and metrics.
The build type (i.e. the distribution) is now included in the Sentry
environment during setup, for all builds except the "main" build. This
will allow us to track Flask and beta errors separately from other
errors.
A constant was created for the build types. The equivalent constant in
our build scripts was updated to match it more closely, for
consistency. We can't use the same constant in both places because our
shared constants are in modules that use ES6 exports, and our build
script does not yet support ES6 exports.
The singular `BuildType` was used rather than `BuildTypes` to match our
naming conventions elsewhere for enums. We name them like classes or
types, rather than like a collection.
Relates to #11896
The main `version` field in `package.json` will now include the beta
version (if present) rather than it being passed in via the CLI when
building. The `version` field is now a fully SemVer-compatible version,
with the added restriction that any prerelease portion of the version
must match the format `<build type>.<build version>`.
This brings the build in-line with the future release process we will
be using for the beta version. The plan is for each future release to
enter a "beta phase" where the version would get updated to reflect
that it's a beta, and we would increment this beta version over time as
we update the beta. The manifest gives us a place to store this beta
version. It was also important to replace the automatic minor bump
logic that was being used previously, because the version in beta might
not be a minor bump.
Additionally, the filename logic used for beta builds was updated to
be generic across all build types rather than beta-specific. This will
be useful for Flask builds in the future.
This PR adds build-time code exclusion by means of code fencing. For details, please see the README in `./development/build/transforms`. Note that linting of transformed files as a form of validation is added in a follow-up, #12075.
Hopefully exhaustive tests are added to ensure that the transform works according to its specification. Since these tests are Node-only, they required their own Jest config. The recommended way to work with multiple Jest configs is using the `projects` field in the Jest config, however [that feature breaks coverage collection](https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/9628). That being the case, I had to set up two separate Jest configs. In order to get both test suites to run in parallel, Jest is now invoked via a script, `./test/run-jest.sh`.
By way of example, this build system feature allows us to add fences like this:
```javascript
this.store.updateStructure({
...,
GasFeeController: this.gasFeeController,
TokenListController: this.tokenListController,
///: BEGIN:ONLY_INCLUDE_IN(beta)
PluginController: this.pluginController,
///: END:ONLY_INCLUDE_IN
});
```
Which at build time are transformed to the following if the build type is not `beta`:
```javascript
this.store.updateStructure({
...,
GasFeeController: this.gasFeeController,
TokenListController: this.tokenListController,
});
```

This rationalizes how arguments are passed to and parsed by the build system. To accomplish this, everything that isn't an environment variable from `.metamaskrc` or our CI environment is now passed as an argument on the command line.
Of such arguments, the `entryTask` is still expected as a positional argument in the first position (i.e. `process.argv[2]`), but everything else must be passed as a named argument. We use `minimist` to parse the arguments, and set defaults to preserve existing behavior.
Arguments are parsed in a new function, `parseArgv`, in `development/build/index.js`. They are assigned to environment variables where convenient, and otherwise returned from `parseArgv` to be passed to other functions invoked in the same file.
This change is motivated by our previous inconsistent handling of arguments to the build system, which will grow increasingly problematic as the build system grows in complexity. (Which it will very shortly, as we introduce Flask builds.)
Miscellaneous changes:
- Adds a build system readme at `development/build/README.md`
- Removes the `beta` package script. Now, we can instead call: `yarn dist --build-type beta`
- Fixes the casing of some log messages and reorders some parameters in the build system
