The file `zerver/lib/request.py` doesn't have type annotations
of its own; if they did, they would duplicate the annotations that
exist in its stub file `zerver/lib/request.pyi`. The latter exists
so that we can provide types for the highly dynamic `REQ` and
`has_request_variables`, which are beyond the type-checker's ken
to type-check, but we should minimize the scope of code that gets
that kind of treatment and `JsonableError` is not at all the sort of
code that needs it.
So move the definition of `JsonableError` into a file that does
get type-checked.
In doing so, the type-checker points out one issue already:
`__str__` should return a `str`, but we had it returning a `Text`,
which on Python 2 is not the same thing. Indeed, because the
message we pass to the `JsonableError` constructor is generally
translated, it may well be a Unicode string stuffed full of
non-ASCII characters. This is potentially a bit of a landmine.
But (a) it can only possibly matter in Python 2 which we intend to
be off before long, and (b) AFAIK it hasn't been biting us in
practice, so we've probably reasonably well worked around it where
it could matter. Leave it as is.
The whole thing is an error, so "message" is a more apt word for the
error message specifically. We abbreviate that as `msg` in the actual
HTTP responses and in the signatures of `json_error` and friends, so
do the same here.
In order to benefit from the modern conveniences of type-checking,
add concrete, non-Any types to the interface for JsonableError.
Relatedly, there's no need at this point to duck-type things at
the places where we receive a JsonableError and try to use it.
Simplify those by using straightforward standard typing.
This fixes some error message strings and skips converting request_data
into json. From now, conversion would be the responsibility of interface.
Also, base_url is now not passed into event structure.
This function no longer sets properties to false, so the supported
way of doing this is to instead use prop(foo, false). Some tests
had to be fixed to accommodate this.
In case the user was not allowed to upload an emoji, we were displaying
two different but sematically same tips. This commit merges them and
also updates `update_custom_emoji_ui()` function in settings_emoji.js
to live update tooltip.
