This gets used when we call `process_client`, which we generally do at
some kind of login; and in particular, we do in the shared auth
codepath `login_or_register_remote_user`. Add a decorator to make it
easy, and use it on the various views that wind up there.
In particular, this ensures that the `query` is some reasonable
constant corresponding to the view, as intended. When not set, we
fall back in `update_user_activity` on the URL path, but in particular
for `log_into_subdomain` that can now contain a bunch of
request-specific data, which makes it (a) not aggregate properly, and
(b) not even fit in the `CHARACTER VARYING(50)` database field we've
allotted it.
The only place this attribute is used is in `update_user_activity`,
called only in `process_client`, which won't happen if we end up
returning a redirect just below. If we don't, we go and call
`add_logging_data` just after, which takes care of this already.
This won't work for all call paths without deeper refactoring,
but for at least some paths we can make this more direct -- function
arguments, rather than mutating a request attribute -- so it's easier
to see how the data is flowing.
I remember being really confused by this function in the past, and I finally
figured it out. It should be removed, and the dev_url added by
00-realm-creation should call a function that just gets the confirmation_key
from outbox like all of the backend tests, but until then this comment
should help.
This change:
* Prevents weird potential attacks like taking a valid confirmation link
(say an unsubscribe link), and putting it into the URL of a multiuse
invite link. I don't know of any such attacks one could do right now, but
reasoning about it is complicated.
* Makes the code easier to read, and in the case of confirmation/views.py,
exposes something that needed refactoring anyway (USER_REGISTRATION and
INVITATION should have different endpoints, and both of those endpoints
should be in zerver/views/registration, not this file).
This test helper method duplicated a bunch of logic in
`zerver/worker/queue_processors.py` in a specialized fashion for the
tests. Now that we're using `call_consume_in_tests` in this code
path, we don't need it.
Before this commit, ResponseMock() was initialized
with a data attribute, which isn't used in the tests
and does not occur in the outgoing webhook code.
The main limitation of this version is that it's controlled entirely
from settings, with nothing in the database and no web UI or even
management command to control it. That makes it a bit more of a
burden for the server admins than it'd ideally be, but that's fine
for now.
Relatedly, the web flow for realm creation still requires choosing a
subdomain even if the realm is destined to live at an alias domain.
Specific to the dev environment, there is an annoying quirk: the
special dev login flow doesn't work on a REALM_HOSTS realm. Also,
in this version the `add_new_realm` and `add_new_user` management
commands, which are intended for use in development environments only,
don't support this feature.
In manual testing, I've confirmed that a REALM_HOSTS realm works for
signup and login, with email/password, Google SSO, or GitHub SSO.
Most of that was in dev; I used zulipstaging.com to also test
* logging in with email and password;
* logging in with Google SSO... far enough to correctly determine
that my email address is associated with some other realm.
The original PR to allow generic bots to be mentioned had
some merge issues that we detected about a week after the
fact. This commit restores the logic from the original PR.
The reason we didn't detect this bug earlier is that the
merge issues didn't break any existing behavior. Instead,
they made it so that only UserMessage rows got written for
bots, but no events were being set. The part of the commit
that got lost is restored here, so now events get sent as
well.
Thanks to @derAnfaenger for reporting this and being patient
as we tracked it down.
