Check: pictures inside page text show in Foundry, GM-only ones only for the GM #162

Description

@keyxmakerx

Pictures inside Chronicle page text now show in Foundry journals (#138, merged). This is the live check for after the next module release. It can be done in the same sitting as #142.

Before you start

  1. Deploy Chronicle (pictures inside page text need Chronicle's editor from Chronicle#1014).
  2. Release the module (Actions → Release) and update Chronicle Sync in Foundry (Setup → Add-on Modules → Update).
  3. Open your Foundry world as the GM, plus a second browser window logged in as a player.

Check 1: a shared picture shows for everyone

  1. In Chronicle, open any page that syncs to Foundry → Edit → insert a picture into the text, set it to the right side at about 40% width, give it a caption, save.
  2. In Foundry, open that page's journal (or Chronicle Sync dashboard → Pull now if it hasn't updated).
  • Working: the picture shows on the right with its caption, for both the GM and the player, and still shows after reloading Foundry an hour later.
  • Broken: a broken-image icon, or the picture disappears after about 15 minutes.

Check 2: a GM-only picture shows only to the GM

  1. In Chronicle, insert a second picture on the same page and mark it GM only. Save.
  2. In Foundry, look at the journal as the GM, then as the player.
  • Working: the GM sees the picture inside a GM-only block. The player sees nothing where it was, not even a broken image or a caption.
  • Broken: the player sees the picture, its caption, or a broken image.

Check 3: editing in Foundry keeps both pictures as they were

  1. In Foundry as the GM, edit the journal and change a word in the ordinary text. Save.
  2. Reload the Chronicle page.
  • Working: your word change is there, both pictures are still in place, and the second is still GM only (players in Chronicle don't see it).
  • Broken: a picture is missing or broken in Chronicle, or the GM-only picture is now visible to players.

Known limit, not a failure: if you make a picture GM only after it was shared, its old copy stays in the world's files (Foundry modules can't delete files). Players can't see it in the journal anymore.

Comment here with what you saw; a failure on any check gets fixed in a new PR.
