Manipulations with browser resource URL to forcing a browser to update its cache

Project description

This package provides new flexible zcml directive to inserts a computed by
content version info (hash, crc32 or versionfile) into the resource's URL,
so the URL changes whenever the contents change, thereby forcing a browser to
update its cache.

==================================
Cache Burster for Zope 3/BlueBream
==================================

This package contains the `IVersionedResourceLayer` layer. This layer supports
a correct set of component registration and can be used for inheritation in
custom skins.

Testing
-------

For testing the Cache Burster we use the testing skin defined in the tests
package which uses the `IVersionedResourceLayer` layer as the only base layer.
This means, that our testing skin provides only the views defined in the minimal
package and it's testing views defined in tests.

Login as manager first:

>>> from zope.testbrowser.testing import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
>>> browser.addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic mgr:mgrpw')
>>> browser.handleErrors = False

We have page template file that looks as:

>>> print getTemplateContent('page.pt')
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"
tal:attributes="src context/++resource++script.js"></script>
<BLANKLINE>
<script type="text/javascript" src="one-module.css"
tal:attributes="src context/++resource++one-module.css"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

We have ``page.html`` view which is registred in the
``ftesting.zcml`` file with our skin for testing purposes:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/page.html')
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/page.html'

Rendered view:

>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/script.js"></script>
<BLANKLINE>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/one-module.css"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Cache Burster rule
------------------

Nothing has changed, all right.
Now we register Cache Burster rule:

>>> from zope.configuration import xmlconfig
>>> import falkolab.cacheburster
>>> context = xmlconfig.file('meta.zcml', falkolab.cacheburster)
>>> def zcml(s, context):
... return xmlconfig.string(s, context)

>>> context = zcml(r"""
... <configure
... xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser"
... >
...
... <cacheburster
... from="(script).js"
... to="\1.{version}.js"
... fileset="tests/testfiles/*.js"
... />
...
... </configure>
... """, context)

OK. Render page again:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/page.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/script.a5d90bae.js"></script>
<BLANKLINE>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/one-module.css"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

The cacheburster directive `from` and `to` fields use python re syntax.
That looks similarly re.sub(from, to, resourcename)
We can specify from="(.*).js". It means that the rule was accepted by all
resources that end with `.js`.

Test that resource URL is accessible:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@/script.a5d90bae.js')
>>> print browser.contents
alert('test');

Add next rule:

>>> context = zcml(r"""
... <configure
... xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser"
... >
...
... <cacheburster
... from="(.*)-module.css"
... to="\1-module.css?{version}"
... manager="md5"
... />
...
... </configure>
... """, context)

Render page again:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/page.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/script.a5d90bae.js"></script>
<BLANKLINE>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/one-module.css?c25661cc824732136e9ec697d97afaed"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Test that resource URL is accessible:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@/one-module.css?579d7fcdc5acc3fe9f063020b2f573cf')
>>> print browser.contents
body {background:#ffffff;}

No-file resource
----------------

Register resource and rule:

>>> import zope.browserresource
>>> context = xmlconfig.file('meta.zcml', zope.browserresource, context)
>>> context = zcml(r"""
... <configure
... xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser"
... >
... <resource
... name="nofile"
... factory="falkolab.cacheburster.testing.NoFileResourceFactory"
... layer="falkolab.cacheburster.interfaces.IVersionedResourceLayer"
... />
...
... <cacheburster
... from="nofile"
... to="{version}.nofile"
... />
...
... </configure>
... """, context)

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/page2.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/fdd9b757.nofile"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Test that resource URL is accessible:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@/fdd9b757.nofile')
>>> print browser.contents
no file resource body

File Version Manager
--------------------

Create and register file manager:

>>> import os, tempfile
>>> temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()

>>> pathToVersionFile = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'version.txt')
>>> open(pathToVersionFile, 'w').write("1")

>>> manager = falkolab.cacheburster.version.FileVersionManager(pathToVersionFile)
>>> from zope.browserresource.interfaces import IResource

Register manager as `versionfile`:

>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(manager,
... (zope.browserresource.interfaces.IResource,
... falkolab.cacheburster.interfaces.IVersionedResourceLayer),
... falkolab.cacheburster.interfaces.IVersionManager, name='versionfile')

Add rule:

>>> context = zcml(r"""
... <configure
... xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/browser"
... >
...
... <cacheburster
... from="(.*).pack"
... to="\1.{version}"
... fileset="tests/testfiles/*.pack"
... manager="versionfile"
... />
...
... </configure>
... """, context)

Look at the page:

>>> print getTemplateContent('page3.pt')
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="any_script.pack"
tal:attributes="src context/++resource++any_script.pack"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Render page:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/page3.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://localhost/@@/any_script.1"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Cleanup
-------

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.rmtree(temp_dir)
