This makes it easier to work on features that depend on messages
having been sent in the past (E.g. the date parts of recipient bars).
The new feature only works with --threads=1; since with the ~100
default messages that populate_db generates, the multi-threaded
feature shouldn't have significant performance impact (and it would be
tricky to make increasing timestamps work with the multi-threaded
model), it's reasonable to just set the default number of threads to 1
for now and have this timestamp-spreading feature only supported with
--threads=1.
Fixes#8277.
We'd rather this work be just executed immediately, rather than
queued, since queued events can confuse the queue workers if the
database is dropped and recreated repeatedly.
The 'simple' realm was super broken and confusing for new users. We
should replace this with having an easy way to make a new realm in
development, done properly.
Fixes#6116.
While it might be useful to have created welcome-bot earlier in a
certain sense, it's definitely not a good idea in this populate_db
implementation, because doing so threw off the random initial
assignment of users to streams and thus broke the casper tests.
This makes the standard checkboxes 7% darker and makes the disabled
ones about 12% darker + 7% darker than they were before, to
increase visibility.
Fixes: #6331.
Create a generator script to pull lines from a play, enhancing
random lines with emoji, Markdown and other flair.
With numerous contributions from Rein Zustand and Tim Abbott to finish
the project.
Fixes: #1666.
Once we implement org_type-specific features, it'll be easy to change a
corporate realm to a community realm, but hard to go the other way. The main
difference (the main thing that makes migrating from a community realm to a
corporate realm hard) is that you'd have to make everyone sign another terms
of service.
Change `from django.utils.timezone import now` to
`from django.utils import timezone`.
This is both because now() is ambiguous (could be datetime.datetime.now),
and more importantly to make it easier to write a lint rule against
datetime.datetime.now().
This fixes an issue where one would get errors of the form:
`ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 3`
in a `run-dev.py` server run against Python 2 if you ran `provision`.
Provision currently runs `populate_db` with Python 3, storing Python 3
based data in memcached, which then can't be read by Python 2.
The realm with string_id of "simple" just has three users
named alice, bob, and cindy for now. It is useful for testing
scenarios where realms don't have special zulip.com exception
handling.
This old helper has for years been used only by populate_db, and got
buggy (as of a recent refactoring). So we just call do_send_messages
directly instead.
Fixes the provisioning error we currently get in Travis CI.
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
