Allow commenting on draft (unpublished) items.
Review Request #12949 — Created April 12, 2023 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
For as long as Review Board has existed, we've disallowed commenting on
items before they're published. The reasoning here was that if you add a
diff comment, replacing the diff will delete the comment (and similar
for file attachments).This change updates the comment dialog to remove the
hasDraft
checks.
This is replaced with a new mechanism whereby we add apublic
state to
diffs and file attachments, and use that to show a warning to the user
if they're commenting on something which has not yet been published. The
bulk of the code changes here are just plumbing that state all the way
down to the comment block models, which use it to decide what to display
to the user.
- Ran unit tests.
- Created review requests with published and unpublished diffs and file
attachments. Checked that adding a comment to published items worked
as normal, and that the draft warnings were correctly shown for draft
diffs and file attachments, as well as for interdiffs and file
attachment diffs involving an unpublished tip revision.
