Clients fetching messages can now specify that they are able
to compute their avatar, and if they set client_gratavar to
True in the request (w/our normal encoding scheme), then the
backend will not compute it, and the payload will be smaller.
The fix starts with get_messages_backend. The flag gets
passed down through these functions:
* MessageDict.post_process_dicts.
* MessageDict.set_sender_avatar.
We also fix up the callers for post_process_dicts to explicitly
pass in the client_gravatar path, but for now they all just hard
code the value to False.
Message.get_raw_db_rows is moved to MessageDict, since its
implementation details are highly coupled to other methods
in MessageDict.
And then sew_messages_and_reactions comes along for the
ride.
We eventually want to move Reaction.get_raw_db_rows to there
as well.
We're about to have multiple post-processing stages for building
message dictionaries. Rather than having individual "hydration"
methods remove intermediate values, we just wait until the end.
This decouples the hyrdration steps. The potentional problem
here is that we may have a field like sender_is_mirror_dummy
that isn't part of the final payload, but we need it for
calculating display recipients and avatars. We don't want to
delete it too early from the objects.
This removes sender names from the message cache, since
they aren't guaranteed to be valid, and they're inexpensive
to add.
This commit will make the message cache entries smaller
by removing sender___full_name and sender__short_name
fields.
Then we add in the sender fields to the message payloads
by doing a query against the unique sender ids of the
messages we are processing.
This change leads to 2 extra database hops for most of
our message-related codepaths. The reason there are 2 hops
instead of 1 is that we basically re-calculate way too
much data to get a no-markdown dictionary.
Introduce MessageDict.post_process_dicts() will allow us
the ability to do the following:
* use less memory in the cache for repeated data
* prevent cache invalidation
* format data according to different client needs
The first use of this function is pretty inconsequential, but
it sets us up for more consequential changes.
In this commit we defer the MessageDict.hydrate_recipient_info
step until after we pull data out of the cache. This impacts
cache size as follows:
* streams - negligibly bigger
* PMs/huddles - slimmer due to not needing to repeat
sender data like email/full_name
Again, the main point of this change is to start setting up
the infrastructure to do post-processing.
This is a first step to eventually slimming the message cache,
but there are still some moving parts there to be worked through.
The more immediate benefit of extracting this function is that
we can put tests on it. Also, it isolates some functionality
that may go away as our clients gets smarter.
This commit prepares us to introduce a StreamLite class. For
these tests, we don't care about the actual contents of the
Stream, just the right stream is there.
Postgres doesn't like them, we don't have an obvious way to escape
them, and they tend to be sent by buggy tools where it'd be better for
the user to get an error.
This fixes a 500 we were getting occasionally.
The dictionary result for get_user_info_for_message_updates()
now has a `mention_user_ids` field that is a set of user ids
who were mentioned in a message.
Previously, the bot domain was calculated correctly in most
circumstances, but if you were using the root domain, it would be
e.g. ".chat.zulip.org", not "chat.zulip.org". We fix this, with
perhaps more use of setting REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS than would be ideal
if we weren't about to set that True unconditionally.
Usually a small minority of users are eligible to receive missed
message emails or mobile notifications.
We now filter users first before hitting UserPresence to find idle
users. We also simply check for the existence of recent activity
rather than borrowing the more complicated data structures that we
use for the buddy list.
This change is mostly based on a similar commit from hackerkid
in a feature branch. It borrows both code and ideas. Some of
it's my own stuff, as I was working on a newer branch.
We now call get_user_including_cross_realm_email() inside of
user_profiles_from_unvalidated_emails(), instead of using
get_user_profile_by_email.
This requires a few of our callers to pass down sender into us.
One consequence of this change is that we change the symptoms
for trying to send to emails outside of your realm. In some
cases, we simply raise an error that an email is invalid to us
instead of getting into the deeper validate_recipient_user_profiles
check.
This class simplifies the calling sequence to methods like
check_message and _internal_prep_message, and it's also more
type safe.
Checking for message types is encapsulated with calls to is_stream()
and is_private(). There are also shortcut constructors when you
know that the type of the address (stream vs. private), which is often.
In this we basically seed a single message for the user which will
be soft deactivated by sending a stream message / group PM to
ensure that is has at least one UserMessage row, since in real
world every human user will always have at least one User Message
row.
This function will help us in creating undisturbed experience for
returning soft deactivated users.
Tweaked by tabbott to fix minor performance and clarity issues.
In anticipation of have all unread message ids available to the
web app in page_params (via a separate effort), we are simplifying
the /topics endpoint to no longer return unread counts.
Instead we have a list of tiny dictionaries with these fields:
name - name of the topic
max_id - max message id for the topic (aka most recent)
The items in the list are order by most-recent-topic-first.
This new setting controls whether or not users are allowed to see the
edit history in a Zulip organization. It controls access through 2
key mechanisms:
* For long-ago edited messages, get_messages removes the edit history
content from messages it sends to clients.
* For newly edited messages, clients are responsible for checking the
setting and not saving the edit history data. Since the webapp was
the only client displaying it before this change, this just required
some changes in message_events.js.
Significantly modified by tabbott to fix some logic bugs and add a
test.
Rationale: For the more off-to-the-side edit history view, changes
are easier to digest by highlighting deleted content in red followed
immediately by added and changed content in green.
TODO: Toggle for showing the edited messages without highlighting;
deleted content would not be shown in this view.
This test fails on self.assertTrue(delay < 0.001 * num_ids, error_msg)
randomly. This commit adds debug code to see what the real values of
paramters are.
To get accurate count of the queries, we should make sure that
caches don't come into play. If we count queries while caches are
filled, we will get a lower count. Caches are not supposed to be
persistent, so our test can also fail if cache is invalidated
during the course of the unit test.
This commit solves the problem with Stream cache. This cache comes
into play when we use `get_stream` function. If cache is valid,
we will not issue queries to Stream and Recipient table. I think
the problem was one of those rare occasions when the Stream cache
got invalidated during the course of the test, due to which query
count was increased by 2. After this commit, we intentially invalidate
the Stream cache.
This makes it possible for Zulip administrators to delete messages.
This is primarily intended for use in deleting early test messages,
but it can solve other problems as well.
Later we'll want to play with the permissions model for this, but for
now, the goal is just to integrate the feature.
Note that it saves the deleted messages for some time using the same
approach as Zulip's message retention policy feature.
Fixes#135.
This fixes most cases where we were assigning a user to
the var email and then calling get_user_profile_by_email with
that var.
(This was fixed mostly with a script.)
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
This fixes an issue with a nondeterministic number of database queries
being used in fetching bulk messages from the database. The source of
the problem was that we were fetching _all_ messages, not just the 600
that had been created by the test, and thus if the set of streams
present in messages in the test fixtures (which is random) changes,
the number of streams used (and thus number of queries) would change.
Change applies to both subdomains and non-subdomains case, though we use
just the EXTERNAL_HOST in the non-subdomains case if there is only 1 realm.
Fixes#3903.
This makes it super easy for frontend code using this view code to
produce a nice display of the history.
This also fixes an off-by-one error with the timestamps.
Based on work by Kartik Maji in #1204.
This has a few significant changes from the original version:
* We correctly handle filling in data for topic edits
* Has a complete test suite verifying correctness of the logic
* Currently, it doesn't include a special "start" entry
Things we may want to further change include:
* Adding a special "start" entry.
* Reversing the order of the history data returned for clarity.
I dug into why we never did this before, and it turns out we did, but
using `$.trim()` (which removes leading whitespace as well!). When
removing the `$.trim()` usage.
Fixes#3294.
Bump up max length queries in `test_bulk_message_fetching()` to 11
in `zerver/tests/test_messages.py` to avoid test failing when run
this test alone.
Fixes#3087.
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
We recently made it so that a cross-realm bot can only send
messages to one realm at a time. (It can send to a realm
outside of its offical realm, but only one of them.) This
test adds coverage for that.
Previously, we set restrict_to_domain and invite_required differently
depending on whether we were setting up a community or a corporate
realm. Setting restrict_to_domain requires validation on the domain of the
user's email, which is messy in the web realm creation flow, since we
validate the user's email before knowing whether the user intends to set up
a corporate or community realm. The simplest solution is to have the realm
creation flow impose as few restrictions as possible (community defaults),
and then worry about restrict_to_domain etc. after the user is already in.
We set the test suite to explictly use the old defaults, since several of
the tests depend on the old defaults.
This commit adds a database migration.
We now send dictionaries for cross-realm bots. This led to the
following changes:
* Create get_cross_realm_dicts() in actions.py.
* Rename the page_params field to cross_realm_bots.
* Fix some back end tests.
* Add cross_realm_dict to people.js.
* Call people.add for cross-realm bots (if they are not already part of the realm).
* Remove hack to add in feedback@zulip.com on the client side.
* Add people.is_cross_realm_email() and use it in compose.js.
* Remove util.string_in_list_case_insensitive().
Adds a database migration, adds a new string_id argument to the management
realm creation command, and adds a short name field to the web realm
creation form when REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS is False.
We now simply exclude all cross-realm bots from the set of emails
under consideration, and then if the remaining emails are all in
the same realm, we're good.
This fix changes two behaviors:
* You can no longer send a PM to an ordinary user in another realm
by piggy-backing a cross-realm bot on to the message. (This was
basically a bug, but it would never manifest under current
configurations.)
* You will be able to send PMs to multiple cross-realm bots at once.
(This was an arbitrary restriction. We don't really care about this
scenario much yet, and it fell out of the new implementation.)
We can currently send a PM to a user in another realm, as long
as we copy a cross-realm bot from the same realm. This loophole
doesn't yet affect us in practice--all cross-realm bots are
generally configured for the "admin" realm like the old zulip.com--
but we should lock it down in a subsequent commit.
Having each condition in a separate test was confusing to read,
especially since the tests were doing inconsistent setup, sometimes
calling user2 the user from 2.example.com realm and other times
calling user2 the cross-bot realm, etc.
This is a preliminary step towards eliminating the realm.domain field
in favor of realm.subdomain. Includes a database migration to create
these for existing realms.
With reactions and other upcoming features, we'll be adding several
places where we need to check whether a particular user can access a
particular message. It's best to just have a single helper function
for this purpose that we can use everywhere.
This pulls message-related code from models.py into a new
module called message.py, and it starts to break some bugdown
dependencies. All the methods here are basically related to
serializing Message objects as dictionaries for caches and
events.
extract_message_dict
stringify_message_dict
message_to_dict
message_to_dict_json
MessageDict.to_dict_uncached
MessageDict.to_dict_uncached_helper
MessageDict.build_dict_from_raw_db_row
MessageDict.build_message_dict
This fix also removes a circular dependency related
to get_avatar_url.
Also, there was kind of a latent bug in Message.need_to_render_content
where it was depending on other calls to Message to import bugdown
and set it globally in the namespace. We really need to just
eliminate the function, since it's so small and used by code that
may be doing very sketchy things, but for now I just fix it. (The
bug would possibly be exposed by moving build_message_dict out to the
library.)
This was the original way to send messages via the Zulip API in the
very early days of Zulip, but was replaced by the REST API back in
2013.
Fixes: #730.
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 is controlled through the admin tab and a new field in the Realms table.
Notes:
* The admin tab setting takes a value in minutes, whereas the backend stores it
in seconds.
* This setting is unused when allow_message_editing is false.
* There is some generosity in how the limit is enforced. For instance, if the
user sees the hovering edit button, we ensure they have at least 5 seconds to
click it, and if the user gets to the message edit form, we ensure they have
at least 10 seconds to make the edit, by relaxing the limit.
* This commit also includes a countdown timer in the message edit form.
Resolves#903.
This commit adds the capability to keep track and remove uploaded
files. Unclaimed attachments are files that have been uploaded to the
server but are not referred in any messages. A management command to
remove old unclaimed files after a week is also included.
Tests for getting the file referred in messages are also included.
