As per issue #3072, I have upgraded jQuery from 1.7 to 1.9.1 for both Brackets and the SpecRunner.

See inline comments for specific code decisions.

Hi@TuckerWhitehouse -- thanks for taking this on. We won't be able to pull this in in this sprint, but we'll schedule some time to try to land it early next sprint, which should be in a couple weeks.

@njx, no problem, i'll make sure to keep testing it with the new updates, and have it working as soon as you start sprint 23.

One question--is there any need for the shim other than for third-party code like Bootstrap? Ideally we would fix up all the code in Brackets itself so it doesn't rely on the shim.

Just the bootstrap plugins. It's helpful in that it will console.log when you use a deprecated function though.

Edit: and the brackets-concat.js file

@TuckerWhitehouse sorry for our delay in getting to this. We were just trying to decide how we wanted to approach a jQuery upgrade given the testing time we'd want to put in. We've decided that the best bet is to upgrade to jQuery 2.0 when the stable version comes out, so that we do the migration and testing once rather than in two steps (1.9->2.0).

I've added a card to the backlog for this.

Your work here is undoubtedly going to be useful when we do make the transition. I'm going to close this pull request for now, but we'd certainly like to pull in your work once 2.0 stabilizes.

Hey@dangoor, no worries. I'll keep my update_jQuery branch updated (I just swapped in the jQuery-2.0.0-beta3 and it seems to be working great, I think beta3 is the last one before final).

Also, there was already a card on trello (https://trello.com/card/upgrade-jquery/4f90a6d98f77505d7940ce88/813).

As far as including jQuery Migrate, it's only required because of the Bootstrap plugins (which are very out of date as well - the updated plugins in Bootstrap 2 don't need $.browser), so I'm not sure if it would be better at looking into upgrading these plugins or if they are going to be replaced with something else?

Thanks for noting the Bootstrap plugins in the Trello card. You make a good point, and I think when the time comes to upgrade jQuery we'd probably opt to fix the problem with the plugins one way or another rather than use jQuery Migrate.

Are we ready to look at jQuery 2.0?

@adrocknaphobia, my guess is no. There's still a lot that needs to be updated before a clean transition to 2.0 would be possible. To get the ball rolling, i've submitted a pull request (#3665) to remove the deprecated .isResolved & .isRejected which can be done now without impact.

Another item that needs to be pursued is updating the Bootstrap plugins (which at their current version, still rely on $.browser). Edit: #3672

@TuckerWhitehouse Thanks for all of your effort, so far. We decided to implement the jQuery migration in Sprint 26 (which starts today!). We'll be working off of the Trello card you referred to above (https://trello.com/card/3-upgrade-jquery-less-bootstrap/4f90a6d98f77505d7940ce88/813).

We already merged your pull request (adobe/brackets#3665) to remove deprecated functions. Next, we're going to upgrade Bootstrap (adobe/brackets#3672) to avoid the need for jQuery Migrate. Then we'll merge your other deprecated functions fixes (adobe/brackets#3814).

Please let us know if you want to update this branch to merge after that. That would be awesome. We want to get all of this in early to give it lots of bake time. Thanks again for all of your help.

(Also, if you think it would be better to just start fresh rather than basing off this branch, that would be good to know too.)

@redmunds &@njx, I actually have another branch for a clean jQuery 2.0 upgrade [https://github.com/TuckerWhitehouse/brackets/tree/jQuery_2], so i'll just open a new pull request from that branch.
