Modified by punchagan to:
* Replace URLs with titles only if the inline url embed previews are turned on
* Add a test for youtube titles replacing URLs
The titles for the videos are fetched asynchronously after the message has been
sent via the code that fetches metadata for open graph previews. So, the URLs
are replaced with titles only if the inline embed url previews feature is
enabled.
Ideally, YouTube previews should be shown only if inline url previews are
enabled, but this feature is in beta, while YouTube previews are pretty stable.
Once this feature is out of beta, YouTube previews should be shown only if the
url previews feature is turned on.
YouTube preview image is calculated as soon as the message is sent, while the
title needs to be fetched using a network request. This means that the URL is
replaced only after the data has been fetched from the request, and happens a
couple of seconds after the message has been rendered.
Closes#7549
Messages with links embedded in blockquotes turn out to be replies to
messages with links, more often than not. Showing previews for links in
replies seems like clutter, and it seems reasonable to turn off previews for
such links.
We create a path structure in the from:
`/var/<uuid>/test-backend/run_1234567/worker_N/`
A settings attribute, `TEST_WORKER_DIR`, was created as a worker's
directory for a given `test-backend` run's file storage. The
appropirate path is created in `setup_test_environment`, while each
workers subdirectory is created within `init_worker`.
This allows a test class to write to `settings.TEST_WORKER_DIR`,
populating the appropirate directory of a given worker. Also
providing the long-term approach to clean up filesystem access
in the backend unit tests.
We implicitly assume settings.NOTIFICATION_BOT is not None just a few lines
above, in
sender = get_system_bot(settings.NOTIFICATION_BOT)
notifications.append(
internal_prep_private_message(
realm=user_profile.realm,
sender=sender,
...
This will make it easier to have access to the stream creator.
The indirection also isn't really adding anything, especially given that the
announce message is inlined just above.
Modified by punchagan to:
* Add a separate markdown test for de-duplicating inline previews
* Check for number of unique URLs to see if per limit message is crossed
* Use a set for processed URLs instead of a list
Fixes#8379.
We were doing the seemingly innocent
.toggle(version_info.show_instructions) to show the instructions if
and only if show_instructions was true. However, our data structures
that should have been false didn't set a value, and `.toggle` with no
arguments just flips the state, rather than unconditionally hiding.
