This works around a nasty problem with Webpack that you can't run two
copies of the Webpack development server on the same project at the
same time (even if on different ports). The second copy doesn't fail,
it just hangs waiting for some lock, which is confusing; but even if
that were to be solved, we don't actually need the webpack development
server running to run the Casper tests; we just need bundle.js built.
So the easy solution is to just run webpack manually and be sure to
include bundle.js in the JS_SPECS entry.
As a follow-up to this change, we should clean up how test_settings.py
is implemented to not require duplicating code from settings.py.
Fixes#878.
This fixes some tracebacks I got while testing the Zulip htpasswd SSO
functionality.
I think that this stopped working as a result of the Jinja2 migration.
Installing `nginx` is problematic, because it means something is using
port 80 and thus `letsencrypt-auto --standalone` doesn't work. But we
do want `openssl` so that the directory trees we create symlinks in
will exist.
Also encode/decode strings appropriately when using api_keys to generate
basic auth header.
Also fix clashing annotations in zerver/tests/test_external.py.
* Add Optional where required.
* Set type of req_redis_key as `(text_type) -> text_type` for consistency.
Almost all our cache keys and redis keys use this signature.
This is important for both ensuring the Nagios checks work correctly
in production, as well as making sure the `zulip` user can access the
virtualenv (owned by the `travis` user) in Travis CI.
Rather than looking at which venvs are used by this particular build,
we instead look at which venvs have a hash that is the hash_reqs value
of a current requirements.txt file.
The manage.py change effectively switches the Zulip production server
to use the virtualenv, since all of our supervisord commands for the
various Python services go through manage.py.
Additionally, this migrates the production scripts and Nagios plugins
to use the virtualenv as well.
netifaces is used in puppet/zulip_internal/files/zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces.
flup is used for fastcgi.
python-dateutils is used in some puppet scripts.
We would like to know which kind of authentication backends the server
supports.
This is information you can get from /login, but not in a way easily
parseable by API apps (e.g. the Zulip mobile apps).
This prototype from Dropbox Hack Week turned out to be too inefficient
to be used for realms with any significant amount of history, so we're
removing it.
It will be replaced by https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/673.
