feat!: migrate to frontend-base by arbrandes · Pull Request #669 · openedx/frontend-app-learner-dashboard

arbrandes · 2025-06-24T18:58:54Z

Description

Refer to the parent issue for a full description.

In short, this refactors the codebase for frontend-base support. There are several breaking changes. It is a long-lived feature branch, and as such, should not be rebased or squashed until time comes for it to either merge to master or become master.

BREAKING CHANGE: Plugins written prior to this will need to be adapted to frontend-base syntax.

BREAKING CHANGE: refactors the MFE for frontend-base.

When trying to run npm run dev locally I hit the following error:

node:internal/fs/watchers:247
    const error = new UVException({
                  ^

Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, watch '/home/bsmith/code/frontend-app-learner-dashboard/node_modules/serve-index/node_modules/http-errors/LICENSE'

I did a bit of searching and found https://stackoverflow.com/a/65621732

I had the same problem. However, mine was coming from Webpack. Thankfully, they had a great solution on their site:

For some systems, watching many files can result in a lot of CPU or memory usage. It is possible to exclude a huge folder like node_modules using a regular expression:
module.exports = {
  watchOptions: {
    ignored: /node_modules/
  }
};

I haven't tried, but my guess is that adding a watchOptions block to https://github.com/openedx/frontend-base/blob/main/tools/webpack/webpack.config.dev.ts might fix this.

@brian-smith-tcril, what I did was just increase my fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 524288 in sysctl.conf. There's no reason to stick with the low default on modern systems.

That said, yes, it's arguable that few people will go messing around in node_modules, and fewer still would expect changes to be applied immediately.

Yeah, some of the other answers on that stackoverflow thread recommended increasing that limit. The reason excluding node_modules feels like a better solution to me is that it removes the need to do some "scary" (even if it's a reasonable change) configuration of dev environments.

Update package.json for publication as a "buildless" library.

Bump frontend-base to avoid the inotify handle resource starvation.

- Rename src/i18n/index.js → index.ts (project uses TypeScript) - Replace placeholder messages object with clean re-export from ./messages - Add src/i18n/messages.d.ts type stub so TypeScript is satisfied before translations:pull has been run - Add translations:pull npm script (backed by openedx translations:pull) - Replace old atlas-based pull_translations Makefile target with npm run translations:pull, passing ATLAS_OPTIONS through - Remove unused intl_imports, i18n, ATLAS_EXTRA_SOURCES, and ATLAS_EXTRA_INTL_IMPORTS Makefile variables - Remove detect_changed_source_translations Makefile target (unused by any CI workflow, extract_translations, or pull_translations) - Add src/i18n/messages.ts, src/i18n/messages/, and src/i18n/site-messages/index.ts to .gitignore (generated files) - Update package-lock to resolve @openedx/frontend-base to 1.0.0-alpha.23 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The old App.messages pattern included apps exporting their messages via \`src/index.ts\`. There is no reason for apps to export this. The file only exists so the app can run as a site with \`npm run dev\`. With frontend-base's i18n pipeline, translations are handled at the site level via \`site.i18n\`. App-only testing didn't catch this because the webpack fallback plugin correctly resolves the missing messages file when \`npm run dev\` is running the app as a site from the repo root (\`src/i18n/\` context). The broken export only surfaces when the compiled \`dist/\` is consumed by a site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The shell stylesheet moved from a SCSS file to a JS manifest at @openedx/frontend-base/shell/style. Imports it directly from site.config.dev.tsx and drops the now-redundant site.scss. Removes the ./app.scss subpath export and drops @edx/brand since the dev harness runs unbranded. See openedx/frontend-base#232. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
