This PR upgrades
bbb-etherpad
to use Etherpad 1.9.1.Motivation
The current release (1.8.17) is over a year old.
More
There's a known bug in Etherpad 1.9.1 that prevents empty pads from being created through the HTTP API. This results in a "You do not have permission to access this pad" message being shown to the shared notes user. To work around this issue, the pad's default text is set to a zero-width space character. For more information, see the relevant Etherpad issue.
In Etherpad 1.9.1, serializing the Pad object with
JSON.stringify()
removes theid
attribute of the pad since it implements its owntoJSON
method (see ether/etherpad-lite#5814). As a workaround, apadId
attribute is manually added in such cases. The lack of apadId
breaks BBB's captions and ability to bring back notes from breakout rooms.Hence, the following changes have to be in place before merging this PR:
