Problem/Motivation

This is a blocker for #2368797: Optimize ajaxPageState to keep Drupal 8 sites fast on high-latency networks, prevent CSS/JS aggregation from taking down sites and use HTTP GET for AJAX requests.

In the D8 cycle, we've worked hard to convert all asset handling into attached asset libraries. This is >97% complete. Getting to 100% would make core a consistent example, and would result in a single, clear DX, rather than a fragmented one.

Getting to 100% will also allow for #2368797: Optimize ajaxPageState to keep Drupal 8 sites fast on high-latency networks, prevent CSS/JS aggregation from taking down sites and use HTTP GET for AJAX requests to happen.

Proposed resolution

Convert the remaining ones.

The last submitted patch, 2: attach_only_libraries-2378095-2.patch, failed testing.

Actually, there were only 6 failures. Testbot is currently failing due to #2376039: Undefined property ContainerAwareEventDispatcherTest::results in run-tests.sh.


Most failures due to two things:

  1. I forgot to include the new *.libraries.yml files in the previous patch. Fixed.
  2. Apparently Views' cache plugin did not yet support restoring attached libraries. Fixed that.

A reroll of #5 now that #2378789: Views output cache is broken has been committed which handled the conversion of views_test_data.libraries.yml.

The patch worked well in my testing; I verified that none of the assets were missing during installation, batch processing, on view pages, when modifying theme colour or creating/editing content. I also didn't find any attached CSS/JS that needed to be converted but was missed.

#6 looks good to me, indeed only removes the now irrelevant hunks, everything else is unchanged.

Thank you very much for the manual testing, Devin!

If somebody could then still review the code, this can be RTBC :)

We can now remove color_css_alter.

The last patch mixes [] in places where array() is used. Can we have that consistent please?

Patch looks good. Tested views and all, still working.

I did find a views bug related to js events and lack of detach function but it's unrelated to this.
