This reverts commit 8c70f03122.
Context: This introduced a serious bug (#631), so we're reverting it to
get the codebase back in a working state. Meanwhile, I'll develop a
principled solution.
Test plan:
I rebuilt the backend, re-loaded a graph, and loaded it in the frontend.
PageRank, the cred explorer, and the weight config all work. Opening a
pull request does not trigger a crash.
See #627 for context.
Removing the Git plugin results in an enormous performance improvement.
In my testing on `metamask/metamask-extension`: before this change, load
took 23s, and PageRank took >9 mins and then crashed. After this change,
load+PageRank took 5s combined.
Test plan: All unit tests pass; loading new data from the CLI works; and
I poked around the UI to make sure there were no spurious references to
the Git plugin.
Note: This does not break backcompat, there's no need to regenerate any
already-loaded data.
Summary:
The `node ./bin/sourcecred.js load` command invokes plugin code by
providing an output directory into which the plugin may store data.
As of this patch, it also provides a cache directory that the plugin may
use to store data that will not be available at runtime. For instance,
the Git plugin might choose to clone the repository herein, or the
GitHub plugin may choose to store partial GraphQL query results to deal
with interruptions. The contract is that the cache directory may be
removed at any time and that the plugin should continue to operate
normally.
Test Plan:
The build script has been updated and tested. Reverting the change to
the build script causes the newly added test to fail. (Each plugin has a
cache directory, though the cache directories are empty for now.)

Summary:
Currently, we create the static site and deploy it all at once in
`scripts/deploy.sh`. This commit creates a new script that only builds
the static site. This has the advantage that it is easier/less scary to
change that script (because it can be tested without worrying about
deploying to a local test target), and that we can write automated tests
for it.
Test Plan:
Run `yarn sharness`; note that it completes very quickly. Then, in a
shell with your GitHub token exported, run `yarn sharness-full`. Expect
all tests to pass.
For a sanity check, you can run:
```shell
outdir="$(mktemp -d --suffix .sourcecred-site)"
./scripts/build_static_site.sh --target "${outdir}" \
--cname sourcecred.io \
--repo sourcecred/example-git \
--repo sourcecred/example-github \
;
(cd "${outdir}" && python -m SimpleHTTPServer)
```
and ensure that <http://localhost:8000/> is as expected.
One test case that is not covered is the following: _if_ the actual app
somehow tries to emit a `CNAME` file at root, _and_ our script’s logic
to catch this is broken, then we will not catch this failure. I’ve
tested the logic manually by adding `>"${cname_file}"` after definition
of that variable, but I don’t see a good way to test it automatically,
without adding flags like `--but-actually-emit-cname-too` to the build.
The compound probability of this happening is sufficiently low that this
doesn’t bother me.
