After upgrading to Ruby 2.5.3, we switched `URI.join` in favor of
`Gitlab::Utils.append_path`. However,
ActionController::Base.helpers.image_path can return a full URL if a CDN
host is present.
Rails provides a way to generate the full URL using the asset path, but
that doesn't appear to work because `request` is nil`.
Revert to the previous behavior to handle CDNs and relative URLs.
Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/56268
This adds a method to Gitlab::GonHelper called
`push_frontend_feature_flag`. This method can be used to easily expose
the state of a feature flag to Javascript code. For example, using this
method we may write the following controller code:
before_action do
push_frontend_feature_flag(:vim_bindings)
end
def index
# ...
end
def edit
# ...
end
In Javascript we can then check the state of the flag as follows:
if ( gon.features.vimBindings ) {
// ...
}
