We now use recipient_id % 24 for new stream colors
when users have already used all 24 of our canned
colors.
This fix doesn't address the scenario that somebody
dislikes one of our current canned colors, so if a
user continually changes canned color N to some other
color for new streams, their new streams will continue
to include color N (and the user will still need to
change them).
This fix doesn't address the fact that it can be expensive
during bulk-add situations to query for all the colors
that users have already used up.
See https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/3-backend/topic/assigning.20stream.20colors
for more discussion.
An explanatory note on the changes in zulip.yaml and
curl_param_value_generators is warranted here. In our automated
tests for our curl examples, the test for the API endpoint that
changes the posting permissions of a stream comes before our
existing curl test for adding message reactions.
Since there is an extra notification message due to the change in
posting permissions, the message IDs used in tests that come after
need to be incremented by 1.
This is a part of #20289.
It's slightly annoying to plumb Optional[MentionBackend]
down the stack, but it's a one-time change.
I tried to make the cache code relatively unobtrusive
for the single-message use case.
We should be able to eliminate redundant stream queries
using similar techniques.
I considered caching at the level of rendering the message
itself, but this involves nearly as much plumbing, and
you have to account for the fact that several users on
your realm may have distinct default languages (French,
Spanish, Russian, etc.), so you would not eliminate as
many query hops. Also, if multiple streams were involved,
users would get slightly different messages based on
their prior subscriptions.
The bug here probably didn't come up too much in
practice, but if we were adding a user to multiple
streams when they already had used all N available
colors, all the new streams would be assigned the same
color, since the size of used_colors would stay at N,
thwarting our little modulo-len hackery.
It's not a terrible bug, since users can obviously
customize their stream colors as they see fit.
Usually when we are adding a user to multiple streams,
the users are fairly new, and thus don't have many
existing streams, so I have never heard this bug
reported in the field.
Anyway, assigning the colors in bulk seems to make more
sense, and I added some tests.
For the situations where all the colors have already
been used, I didn't put a ton of thought into exactly
which repeated colors we want to choose; instead, I
just ensure they're different modulo 24. It's possible
that we should just have more than 24 canned colors, or
we should just assign the same default color every time
and let users change it themselves (once they've gone
beyond the 24, to be clear). Or maybe we can just do
something smarter here. I don't have enough time for a
deep dive on this issue.
This commit sets us up for the next commit, which will
save us a very expensive query.
If you are adding 15k users to a stream, and each user
has about 20 existing streams, then we need to retrieve
300k rows from the database to figure out which stream
colors they already have. We don't need all the extra
fields from Subscription, so now we get just the two
values we need for making a color map.
In the next commit we'll eliminate the other use case
for the big query, and I will explain in greater
depth how splitting out the color-picking code can
be a huge win. It is possible that some product decisions
could make this codepath easier. We could also do some
engineering specific to stream colors, such as caching
which colors users have already used.
This does cost us an extra round trip to the database.
We now complain if a test author sends a stream message
that does not result in the sender getting a
UserMessage row for the message.
This is basically 100% equivalent to complaining that
the author failed to subscribe the sender to the stream
as part of the test setup, as far as I can tell, so the
AssertionError instructs the author to subscribe the
sender to the stream.
We exempt bots from this check, although it is
plausible we should only exempt the system bots like
the notification bot.
I considered auto-subscribing the sender to the stream,
but that can be a little more expensive than the
current check, and we generally want test setup to be
explicit.
If there is some legitimate way than a subscribed human
sender can't get a UserMessage, then we probably want
an explicit test for that, or we may want to change the
backend to just write a UserMessage row in that
hypothetical situation.
For most tests, including almost all the ones fixed
here, the author just wants their test setup to
realistically reflect normal operation, and often devs
may not realize that Cordelia is not subscribed to
Denmark or not realize that Hamlet is not subscribed to
Scotland.
Some of us don't remember our Shakespeare from high
school, and our stream subscriptions don't even
necessarily reflect which countries the Bard placed his
characters in.
There may also be some legitimate use case where an
author wants to simulate sending a message to an
unsubscribed stream, but for those edge cases, they can
always set allow_unsubscribed_sender to True.
Migrates the `/update-subscription-settings` api endpoint to the
`ignored_parameters_unsupported` model, which is also currently used
by `/update-settings` and `update-realm-user-settings-defaults`.
This change is a step towards preparing for an eventual migration to
have all endpoints return an `ignored_parameters_unsupported` block.
Previously the `/update-subscription-settings` endpoint returned a
copy of the data object sent in the request.
Fixes#15307.
It is confusing to have the plan type constants not be namespaced
by the thing they represent. We already have a namespacing
convention in place for constants, so we should use it for
Realm.plan_type as well.
This commit removes _test_user_settings_for_adding_streams
and its callers for testing public and private streams
because it uses excessive mocking and we also test the same
thing in _test_user_settings_for_creating_streams without
mocking, so this test doesn't add anything.
This commit adds can_create_web_public_streams helper
in models.py which will be used to validate whether
user is allowed to create a web-public stream or not.
This commit also adds the checks for Realm.POLICY_OWNERS_ONLY
in check_has_permission_policies.
This commit enforces invite_only argument to be named
in _test_user_settings_for_creating_streams. This will
help in improving readability especially when we will
add is_web_public argument in further commits.
Users wanted a feature where they could specify
which users can create public streams and which users can
create private streams.
This splits stream creation code into two parts,
public and private stream creation.
Fixes#17009.
We allow clients to make existing streams web public via the API.
This feature is still disabled via settings in production
environments, because we may have additional policy rules or UI
warnings we wish to add to this sort of conversion.
User can now create web public stream via the /subscribe API.
So, when a web public stream present in the API request does not
exist, it will be created now by specifying the is_web_public
parameter. The parameter would have been ignored without this
commit.
The new error message is more clear about why, "User cannot create
stream with this settings." was bad English, and in any case removing
an unnecessary string is always an improvement for translators.
This commit updates both the stream-level and realm-level message
retention setting to use 'unlimited' instead of 'forever' to set
message retention setting to "retain messages forever".
Sometime in the deep past, Zulip the GET /users/me/subscriptions
endpoint started returning subscribers. We noticed this and made it
optional via the include_subscribers parameter in
1af72a2745, however, we didn't notice
that they were being returned as emails rather than user IDs.
We migrated the core /register code paths to use subscriber IDs years
ago; this change completes that for the endpoints we forgot about.
The documentation allowed this error because we apparently had no
tests for this code path that used the actual API.
Since do_create_realm also creates general and core team streams,
we rename general to verona right after the realm is created. Mostly
because we dont really want two additional streams and this might
probably make it easy to review things.
There are puppeteer test changes because, we have a new "core team"
stream in tests as well as there is a new default notification stream
"Verona". Because of this tests in message-basics for example have
to be changed since the newly added core team affects the order in
which we navigate through the streams using arrow keys.
The extra await for selector was added in subscriptions test to make
the tests wait. Without the await the tests were passing ocassionally
and failing in some other times.
Fixes#6967
This is a prep commit in preparation of splitting
create_stream_policy into create_private_stream_policy
and create_public_stream_policy.
This extracts it in a way to make it possible to easily test
different stream policies in the upcoming stream policy split.

test_create_stream_policy_setting (in class StreamAdminTest) and
test_user_settings_for_creating_streams (in class SubscriptionAPITest)
test essentially the same thing.
So, remove one of them.
Removing test_create_stream_policy_setting makes sense,
since class StreamAdminTest tests things admins can do, whereas
non-admin users can create streams.
test_invite_to_stream_by_invite_period_threshold (in class StreamAdminTest)
and test_user_settings_for_subscribing_other_users
(in class SubscriptionAPITest) test essentially the same thing.
So, remove one of them.
Removing test_invite_to_stream_by_invite_period_threshold makes sense,

This was used to test can_create_stream property of a guest user.
There are better ways to test it, which are already implemented in
test_can_create_streams.
