Add javascript for a new pre-commit review request creation UI.
Review Request #4391 — Created Aug. 5, 2013 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Add javascript for a new pre-commit review request creation UI. This change adds a model and view for pre-commit review request creation. This replaces the old form-based UI with one which is more interactive, and does a lot more checking and guidance. The basic workflow is that users are asked first to select their diff file, either through a file picker or drag-and-drop. For the most basic case, this is all that's required--the frontend will test that the diff is valid (parses + upstream files exist) and create the review request. In the case of perforce, the user will be prompted for a change number. In the case of SVN, the user will be prompted for a basedir. At the moment, this does not do parent diffs. I'm kind of conflicted about whether or not we should add it, since it does complicate things pretty significantly. My instinct here is to say no for now and defer people to the command-line tools if they want something fancy. This is massively improved in the case where a user tries to upload a git diff that was generated with partial SHAs--we'll detect that case and ask the user to use --full-index.
- Created lots of different review requests for SVN and Git. - Tested various error conditions (wrong basedir, partial shas, badly formatted diff, etc). - Ran jshint.
