Events are fired twice for onxxxx type of handlers

[cibernox]

I was writing an acceptance test for something that looks like this:

<div class="foo" onclick={{action "foo"}}>Click me</div>

Bad news came when I realized that click('.foo') was triggering the foo action twice, first with a jquery.event with type click and a second time shortly after with a native MouseEvent.

Digging into the helper first and the addon later I've discover that the cause is that jquery's trigger triggers a jquery.event first, and if preventDefault is not called on that event, it fires a native event just afterwards, leading to unexpected behaviour (in my case, toggling a property twice and therefore letting it unchanged).

In real life the same code works perfectly because native events are fired instead.

I don't know if kebab actions, that will also receive native events, can be affected by this too.

Solutions I see:

A) Fire real events instead. Would it be backwards incompatible? I guess that the dispatcher would catch them and turn them into jquery events as it does with regular events in real life, and also mimics real behaviour better.

B) Accept a second argument in helpers click('.css-selector', { native: true }). Clearly backwards compatible, but leaves us with 2 different paths for firing events.

Thoughts?

LOL.

Closing this issue since this is wrong repo. Sorry for the noise 😭
