This commit, introduced in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/23812,
fixes a problem creating a displaying image diff notes when the image
is stored in LFS. The main problem was that `Gitlab::Diff::File` was
returning an invalid valid in `text?` for this kind of files.
It also fixes a rendering problem with other LFS files, like text
ones. They LFS pointer shouldn't be shown when LFS is enabled
for the project, but they were.
This commit handles note diffs caching, which considerably improves
the performance on merge requests with lots of comments.
Important to note that the caching approach taken here is different
from `Gitlab::Diff::HighlightCache`. We do not reset the whole cache
when a new push is sent or anything else. That's because discussions
diffs are persisted and do not change.
If a file is deleted, its new_pos is 0 (less than
total_blob_lines), but there is no reason to add the
bottom 'match' line in this case because there is not
extra content which could be expanded.
This currently causes 500's errors when loading the MR page
(Discussion) in a few scenarios.
We were not considering detailed diff headers such as
"--- a/doc/update/mysql_to_postgresql.md\n+++ b/doc/update/mysql_to_postgresql.md"
to crop the diff. In order to address it, we're now using
Gitlab::Diff::Parser, clean the diffs and builds Gitlab::Diff::Line objects
we can iterate and filter on.
We request Gitaly in a N+1 manner to build discussion diffs. Once the diffs are from different revisions, it's hard to make a single request to the service in order to build the whole response.
With this change we solve this problem and simplify a lot fetching this piece of info.
Old merge requests can have diffs without corresponding blobs. (This also may be
possible for commit diffs in corrupt repositories.)
We can't use the `&.` operator on the blobs, because the blob objects are never
nil, but `BatchLoader` instances that delegate to `Blob`. We can't use
`Object#try`, because `Blob` doesn't inherit from `Object`.
`BatchLoader` provides a `__sync` method that returns the delegated object, but
using `itself` also works because it's forwarded, and will work for
non-`BatchLoader` instances too. So the simplest solution is to just use that
with the `&.` operator.
For some old merge requests, we don't have enough information to figure out the
old blob and the new blob for the file. This means that we can't highlight the
diff correctly, but we can still display it without highlighting.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with a repo with an image
2. Add a commit to delete the image
3. Add another commit to replace the image with another image
In a diff comparison, we really just compare about what the image was before the diff, not
the direct parent of the last commit. This MR fixes that.
