What's new in Sprint 9

We didn't add major new user-visible features in Sprint 9. Our main goals for the sprint were similar to the previous sprint - Continue to make progress on the extensibility architecture of Brackets: research, basic architecture and extensibility API:

  • Architecture / Research
 * CEF3 vs. Chromium Content Shell research  (Glenn) 
 * Node vs V8 for bridging into native  (Glenn, Joel, Raymond) _Note:_ *"This is research in a very early stage, however a prototype implementation is checked into the *node-proxy* branches in adobe/brackets and adobe/brackets-app repos"*.
  • Extensibility:
* [Menus and Keyboard Shortcuts] (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/brackets-dev/Menus$20and$20Keyboard$20Shortcuts/brackets-dev/-PfnGtF2npI/_JnDV43y4nMJ) *As an extension developer, I want to be able to add custom menus and keyboard shortcuts when my extension is enabled.* (Ty, Peter, Randy, Raymond, Jason)
    * Add a menu item: Get a top-level menu by calling `Menus.getMenu()` with one of the AppMenuBar constants. Then add a menu item using `theMenu.addMenuItem()`, linking it to your Command id. The menu item's label will be the string name you gave the Command when it was created. Please refer to the [Simple "Hello World" extension] (https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Simple-%22Hello-World%22-extension) for a code sample.

* Enable [Unit Tests] (https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Extension-Experiments#wiki-unittests) in extensions (Randy, Jason, Peter, NJ):
    * We're now able to run unit tests in extensions
    * We implemented Unit Tests in the JS Quick Edit extension
    * We also added an API call to fix [https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/831](https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/831) *FileUtils.getNativeModuleDirectoryPath()*. Take a look at src/extensions/disabled/JavaScriptInlineEditor/unittests.js for an example.
    * We search all extensions in "default" and "user" folders for unittest.js file, which is optional
    * We made some changes to ExtensionLoader module for loading timing.
