This reduces query counts in some cases, since
we no longer need to look up the user again. In
particular, it reduces some noise when we
count queries for O(N)-related tests.
The query count is usually reduced by 2 per
API call. We no longer need to look up Realm
and UserProfile. In most cases we are saving
these lookups for the whole tests, since we
usually already have the `user` objects for
other reasons. In a few places we are simply
moving where that query happens within the
test.
In some places I shorten names like `test_user`
or `user_profile` to just be `user`.
The "sender" property in `send_message_backend` is meant to only do
something when doing Zephyr mirroring (or similar). We should help
clients behave correctly by banning this property in requests that are
not specifically requesting mirroring behavior.
This commit requires changes to a number of tests that incorrectly
passed this parameter or didn't use the right setup for mirroring.
We add a new syntax which converts the messages like the following:
```
/poll Who do you support?
Nadal
- Djokovic
```
to a poll with the two names as options. The list syntax is optional
since anyone making a poll is likely to want to create a list anyway.
We also remove some unreachable code. Calling
split() always returns at least one token, even
if it's just the empty string. This is tested
directly on this commit, plus messages with
empty content get rejected pretty early in
the execution path.
API users, particularly bots, can now send a field
called "widget_content" that will be turned into
a submessage for the web app to look at. (Other
clients can still rely on "content" to be there,
although it's up to the bot author to make the
experience good for those clients as well.)
Right now widget_content will be a JSON string that
encodes a "zform" widget with "choices." Our first
example will be a trivia bot, where users will see
something like this:
Which fruit is orange in color?
[A] orange
[B] blackberry
[C] strawberry
The letters will be turned into buttons on the webapp
and have canned replies.
This commit has a few parts:
- receive widget_content in the request (simply
validating that it's a string)
- parse the JSON in check_message and deeply
validate its structure
- turn it into a submessage in widget.py
