Use this new variable to determine if the user already exists while
doing registration. While doing login through GitHub if we press
*Go back to login*, we pass email using email variable. As a result,
the login page starts showing the "User already exists error" if we
don't change the variable.
Previously, Zulip's server logs would not show which user or client
was involved in login or user registration actions, which made
debugging more annoying than it needed to be.
Unlike creating a stream, there's really no reason one would want to
call the function to create a realm while uncertain whether that realm
already existed.
This should significantly improve the user experience for new users
signing up with GitHub/Google auth. It comes complete with tests for
the various cases. Further work may be needed for LDAP to not prompt
for a password, however.
Fixes#886.
Both the queue processor and ScheduledJob emails need to sometimes pass a
to_user_id and sometimes pass a to_email, and it's more convenient to just
have one function that they can call that can handle either.
Also removes the now redundant send_email_to_user.
This prevents users from accidentally sending a confirmation link
specific to their account to their Zulip administrator if they reply
to the invitation, invitation reminder, account confirmation, or new
email confirmation emails.
No change in behavior.
Also makes the first step towards converting all uses of
settings.ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR and settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS to
FromAddress.*.
Once everything is converted, it will be easier to ensure that future
development doesn't break backwards compatibility with the old style of
settings emails.
This will allow for customized senders for emails, e.g. 'Zulip Digest' for
digest emails and 'Zulip Missed Messages' for missed message emails.
Also:
* Converts the sender name to always be "Zulip", if the from_email used to
be settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS or settings.ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR.
* Changes the default value of settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS in the
prod_setting_template to no longer have a display name. The only use of
that display name was in the email pathway.
I think it makes sense to wrest the email sending from confirmation, now
that we have a clean email-sending interface in send_email. A few other
reasons:
* send_confirmation is get_link_for_object followed by send_email, but those
two functions have no arguments in common.
* Sending email through confirmation obfuscates the context dict, and is a
relatively complicated piece of the codebase anyone trying to deal with
the email system has to understand.
* The three emails previously being sent through confirmation don't have
that much in common, other than that they happen to have a confirmation
link in them.
The .split('/')[-1] in registration.py is a hack, but a hack used several
places in the codebase, so maybe one day get_link_for_object will also
return the confirmation_key.
We're about to make a change where we no longer deal with confirmation
objects in these email pathways.
The "if settings.DEVELOPMENT and realm_creation" is a bit of a hack, but no
worse a hack as was there before, I think. I think it's also less confusing
if the method signature matches what happens in production.
Server settings should just be added to the context in build_email, so that
the individual email pathways (and later, the email testing framework)
doesn't have to worry about it.
We now pre-populate the streams in DEFAULT_NEW_REALM_STREAMS
(social/general/zulip, unless somebody changes settings.py) with
welcome messages. This makes the streams appear to be active
right away, and it also gives the Zulip realm less of a
blank-slate feeling when you create it.
This change only affects the normal web-based create-realm flow.
It doesn't impact the management commands for creating realms
or setting default streams.
This commit replaces all uses of django.core.mail.send_mail with send_email,
other than in the password reset flow, since that code looks like it is just
a patch to Django's password reset code.
The send_email function is in a new file, since putting it in
zerver.lib.notifications would create an import loop with confirmation.models.
send_future_email will soon be moved into email.py as well.
