Technically, we will only need to process deactivated users for the
purpose of reactivating them (and can ignore, e.g., name changes).
But it's simplest to just process them unconditionally.
This should make life a lot more convenient for organizations that use
the LDAP integration and have their avatars in LDAP already.
This hasn't been end-to-end tested against LDAP yet, so there may be
some minor revisions, but fundamentally, it works, has automated
tests, and should be easy to maintain.
Fixes#286.
Fixes a bug in import_realm where secondary attributes like message
visibility weren't being set, and also makes bugs like this less likely in
the future.
Also, putting the plan_type change at the end of import_realm, so that
future restrictions to LIMITED realms don't affect the import process.
This makes it possible to add --skip-purge-old-deployments in the
deploy_options section of /etc/zulip/zulip.conf, and control whether
old deployments are purged automatically on a system.
We still need to do https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/10534 and
probably also to add these arguments to be directly passed into
upgrade-zulip, but that can wait for future work.
Fixes#10946.
Like the other similar commits, we were doing the same work in all
code paths, just with a much more error-prone approach.
We can also now remove the now-unused finish_initial_narrow function.
Like the other commits in this series, we were already doing this in
all of the callers of load_messages; this centralizes that logic in a
less ad-hoc feeling way.
We no longer use or need the start_initial_narrow function.
Previously, each individual caller of load_messages that passed
num_before > 0 would do its own manual management of fetch_status;
now, we just do it inside load_messages.
Apparently, the older side of the FetchStatus object for home_msg_list
was incorrectly not being maintained. We got away with this, because
the do_backfill code path (which runs after we're done with the
load_more cycle) will correct the error for found_oldest. But we
didn't have proper handling for history_limited here.
When we're doing the load_more frontfill, we were not correctly
declaring that we were in the process of doing a fetch. Because the
next load_more call clears this state anyway, this was generally a
short race, off-screen, but it is still a data flow bug.
See the upcoming commits for a refactor that will eliminate the
possibility of this sort of bug.
Apparently, Django's get_current_site function (used, e.g., in
django-two-factor to look up the domain to use in QR codes) first
tries to use the Sites framework, and if unavailable, does the right
thing (namely, using request.get_host()).
We don't use the Sites framework for anything in Zulip, so the correct
fix is to just remove it.
Fixes#11014.
When a user's name is edited, currently we still show the old name is
mentions (though clicking on the item does the right thing).
However, at present, it creates a new problem in search results, where
the highlighting is removed by this substitution.
The Slack import process would incorrectly issue
CustomProfileFieldValue entries with a value of "" for users who
didn't have a given CustomProfileField (especially common for the
"skype" and "phone" fields). This had no user-visible effect, but
certainly added some clutter in the database.
We should rate-limit users when our rate limiter deadlocks trying to
increment its count; we also now log at warning level (so it doesn't
send spammy emails) and include details on the user and route was, so
that we can properly investigate whether the rate-limiting on the
route was in error.
This commit works by vendoring the couple functions we still use from
puppetlabs stdlib (join and range), but removing the rest of the
puppetlabs codebase, and of course cleaning up our linter rules in the
process.
Fixes#7423.
The code paths for accessing user-uploaded files are both (A) highly
optimized so as to not require a ton of work, and (B) a code path
where it's totally reasonable for a client to need to fetch 100+
images all at once (e.g. if it's the first browser open in a setting
with a lot of distinct senders with avatars or a lot of image
previews).
Additionally, we've been seeing exceptions logged in the production
redis configuration caused by this code path (basically, locking
failures trying to update the rate-limit data structures).
So we skip running our current rate limiting algorithm for these views.
