Our previous dependencies on the `/root/zulip` path should all be
long gone at this point. Run our production-install test suite through
a fresh temporary path instead, mainly just to avoid causing any confusion
over whether that's quite the case.
On `trusty` there is no package for `boto` or `gevent` on Python 3, both
of which are dependencies of `wal-e` (at the version we've pinned.) This
is something used only on database servers and only in a replication
scenario, and it doesn't involve any of our code outside the wal-e repo,
so the Python version it uses is quite independent of the Zulip
application server itself and the rest of our code. For now, keep it
explicitly on Python 2 while we move forward for most everything else.
This script in `zulip_ops` is handy for managing EC2 instances. It uses
`boto`, which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3. The use of
`boto` here isn't particularly deep, so we could replace it with some
more manual HTTP calls if it comes to that. For now, just mark it to
stay on Python 2 while we move the app and all the rest of the ops code
(except this and another straggler or two) to Python 3.
Also make a comment on this package in the Puppet manifest clearer
about what it specifically refers to.
We're about to do this (a) in a number of places mentioning
system packages like `python3-dev` to install, and (b) in the
shebangs of every script in the tree.
This consists of the `zulip_ops::stats` Puppet class, which has apparently
not been used since 2014, and a number of files that I believe were
only used for that. Also a couple of tiny loose ends in other files.
This is only actually used in our `wal-e` setup, which is in
zulip_ops::postgres_common. (In fact the only mentions of `gevent` in
our whole Git history are for `wal-e`.) So remove where we mention it
on the broader zulip::postgres_common module, and move it where it's
needed.
This follows up on 98cef0ab4 by eliminating the only dependency
outside of the `zulip_ops` Puppet tree on a system Python-library
package which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3.
This follows up on 207cf6302 from last year to clean up cases that
have apparently popped up since then. Invoking the scripts directly
makes a cleaner command line in any case, and moreover is essential
to how we control running a Zulip install as either Python 2 or 3
(soon, how we always ensure it runs as Python 3.)
One exception: we're currently forcing `provision` in dev to run
Python 3, while still running both Python 2 and Python 3 jobs in CI.
We use a non-shebang invocation to do the forcing of Python 3.
The one difference between `sourcemap` 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 is this fix:
https://github.com/mattrobenolt/python-sourcemap/pull/9
This addresses an issue that caused the Zulip server running on
Python 3 to raise exceptions when attempting to process a JS error.
Since we're auto-detecting the value anyway, there's no reason it
can't be moved to DEFAULT_SETTINGS.
This lets us remove some clutter from the installation documentation.
This adds the authors to the Zulip repository on GitHub from
/authors/ along with re-styling the page to fit the same
aesthetic as /for/open-source/ and other product-pages.
In the case of no subdomains, the input is too large because the JS
calculated size does not account for padding. The correct solution is
to do this in JS.
This fixes the significant duplication of code between the
authenticate_log_and_execute_json code path and the `validate_api_key`
code path.
These's till a bit of duplication, in the form of `process_client` and
`request._email` interactions, but it is very minor at this point.
The old iOS app has been gone from the app store for 8 months, never
had a huge userbase, and its latest version didn't need this hack. So
this code is unlikely to do anything in the future; remove it to
declutter our authentication decorators codebase.
The check itself was correct, but the error message was in fact the
opposite of what this check is for. In other words, the only things
these users can do is post messages, and the error message when you
tried to do something else was to tell you that the user can't post
messages.
