How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable feature flag :content_editor_on_issues:

    echo "Feature.enable(:content_editor_on_issues)" | rails c

  2. Visit any issue or MR.

  3. Notice that the comment box at the bottom of the page has a switcher reading "Viewing markdown" (bottom right corner) to switch between markdown/rich text.

  4. Edit some text in each editor, switch back and forth and notice that the contents are preserved.

  5. Refresh the page and notice that the contents are still preserved using a local storage draft.

  6. Save or Cancel the form, it should work as expected.

If the feature flag is disabled, the switcher to switch between the editors is not visible.
