This exists primarily in order to allow us to mock settings.DEBUG for
the purposes of rate limiting, without actually mocking
settings.DEBUG, which I suspect Django never intended one to do, and
thus caused some very strange test failures (see
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/776 for details).
This was in AdminCreateUserTest.test_create_user_backend().
For end to end tests we are logged in, and we need to verify
that our decorators add UserProfile to the parameters of
the view on our behalf, so that we don't get false positives.
In an upcoming commit, we will want to be able to serialize
the parameters for client_put to produce url coverage reports,
so that is another reason not to pass in the UserProfile
object. (That was how this was discovered.)
This makes us more consistent, since we have other wrappers
like client_patch, client_put, and client_delete.
Wrapping also will facilitate instrumentation of our posting code.
This new helper combines two old helpers, one of which was misnamed
and the other of which was always called after the first, so it
made sense to just combine the helpers.
Fixes: #1386
This commit adds these two tests:
test_use_first_unread_anchor_with_some_unread_messages
test_use_first_unread_anchor_with_no_unread_messages
The new tests add coverage to the conditional logic in
get_old_messages_backend() that looks at first_unread_result
when use_first_unread_anchor is set to True.
The test is now called test_use_first_unread_anchor_with_muted_topics().
Before this commit, the test exercised setting
use_first_unread_anchor to True, but it didn't inspect the
most relevant query affected by the flag. Now it does.
This test is still kind of hard to read, and it's far from ideal,
but I'm reluctant to remove it from the test suite.
This increases test coverage by exercising highlight_string().
It also gives deeper test coverage to NarrowBuilder.by_search(),
which had test coverage before, but only in terms of inspecting
the SQL that was generated. This test actually runs the SQL
under the hood.
This partly fixes#1006.
