This completes the major endpoint migrations to eliminate legacy API
endpoints from Zulip.
There's a few other things that will happen naturally, so I believe
this fixes#611.
This provides the main infrastructure for fixing #5598. From here,
it's a matter of on the one hand upgrading exception handlers -- the
many except-blocks in the codebase that look for JsonableError -- to
look beyond the string `msg` and pass on the machine-readable full
error information to their various downstream recipients, and on the
other hand adjusting places where we raise errors to take advantage
of this mechanism to give the errors structured details.
In an ideal future, I think all exception handlers that look (or
should look) for a JsonableError would use its contents in structured
form, never mentioning `msg`; but the majority of error sites might
continue to just instantiate JsonableError with a string message. The
latter is the simplest thing to do, and probably most error types will
never have code looking for them specifically.
Because the new API refactors the `to_json_error_msg` method which was
designed for subclasses to override, update the 4 subclasses that did
so to take full advantage of the new API instead.
With #5598 there will soon be an application-level error code
optionally associated with a `JsonableError`, so rename this
field to make clear that it specifically refers to an
HTTP status code.
Also take this opportunity to eliminate most of the places
that refer to it, which only do so to repeat the default value.
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.
I pushed a bunch of commits that attempted to introduce
the concept of `client_message_id` into our server, as
part of cleaning up our codepaths related to messages you
sent (both for the locally echoed case and for the host
case).
When we deployed this, we had some strange failures involving
double-echoed messages and issues advancing the pointer that appeared
related to #5779. We didn't get to the bottom of exactly why the PR
caused havoc, but I decided there was a cleaner approach, anyway.
We are deprecating local_id/local_message_id on the Python server.
Instead of the server knowing about the client's implementation of
local id, with the message id = 9999.01 scheme, we just send the
server an opaque id to send back to us.
This commit changes the name from local_id -> client_message_id,
but it doesn't change the actual values passed yet.
The goal for client_key in future commits will be to:
* Have it for all messages, not just locally rendered messages
* Not have it overlap with server-side message ids.
The history behind local_id having numbers like 9999.01 is that
they are actually interim message ids and the numerical value is
used for rendering the message list when we do client-side rendering.
Two wrinkles here:
* It's actually a little subtle why `ok_to_include_history` is
correct; in particular, it's not true that a term `stream:foo` will
always limit the query to the stream `foo`. For this, add an
explanatory comment backed up by an assert.
* The TODO comment in `messages_in_narrow_backend` about assuming this
is a search, I'm pretty sure doesn't matter; it seems to only be
saying that we return the set of fields we would for a search.
They're harmless to send, and in any case it doesn't appear to be
true anymore that the client only calls this for a search: the
`can_apply_locally` function also causes narrows with `has:` to go
to the server. So just take that comment out.
(After writing the term "invariant" a few times in these comments and
now this commit message, my inner mathematician reminds me that this
property is properly termed a "monovariant" -- something does change,
but it changes only in one direction. Pretty sure saying "invariant"
communicates better here, though.)
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 is a better solution to the problem of how _pg_re_escape should
handle the null character. There's really no good reason to have a
null character in a stream name.
In cases where old unread messages in the home view might have been
leaked (either due to bugs or unusual muting interactions), it's
theoretically possible for the first unread message in the home view
to be far older than the pointer.
Since the Zulip mobile app is loading messages following the
use_first_unread logic, we need to plug this gap.
Probably a longer-term solution will involve changing how
update_message_flags works to automatically advance the pointer, but
this change should make it possible for the mobile apps to
consistently use the `use_first_unread` mechanism for fetching the
latest home view messages.
With tweaks to the tests by tabbott.
Fixeszulip/zulip-mobile#422.
textsearch based full text search doesn't match text in link tag but
PGroonga based full text search can match text in link tag.
Without this change, highlighting text in link tag generates broken
HTML.
This makes get_stream match get_realm, get_user_profile_by_email,
etc., in interface, and is more convenient for mypy annotations
because `get_stream` now doesn't return an Optional[Stream].
An empty narrow (ie, the home view) can be represented in code as either
`None` or `[]` but we had incorrect handling that failed to fully
properly deal with either case.
(1) In `get_stream_name_from_narrow`, we failed to deal with `None` by
trying to always iterate over `narrow`.
(2) In several other places, we failed to deal with `[]` by explicitly
checking `if narrow is None` or `if narrow is not None`. Changing these
to truthiness checks should work for both the `None` and `[]` cases.
Like many rare-case code with new tests, it turns out that the logic
for handling null characters in our Zephyr postgres query escaping
never worked, in multiple ways. First, it always changed the second
character in s, not the current one being inspected, and second, the
value it replaced it with was no the correct postgres escape of the
null byte. We fix this and add tests.
This completes the effort to get zerver/views/messages.py to 100%
test coverage.
Fixes#1006.
When you edit a message to contain links, and URL previews are
enabled, previously we'd throw an exception, because the realm ID
wasn't included in the event.
Also adds a test so that we can have effective test coverage on this
codepath, though this history is actually that I found the bug through
writing this test :).
Change `from django.utils.timezone import now` to
`from django.utils import timezone`.
This is both because now() is ambiguous (could be datetime.datetime.now),
and more importantly to make it easier to write a lint rule against
datetime.datetime.now().
The comments explain why this change is correct. This change is
useful because it's better to not have dead code paths, both because
it makes our life easier for coverage analysis, and because the else
statement provided the illusion that it could actually happen.
If the analysis in that comment is wrong, we'd rather have a 500 error
so we fix the bug than things silently sorta working.
This arguably regresses the Zephyr experience, in that we no longer
consider 'foo.d.d.d.d.d' to be something that gets narrowed in with
the rest, but that's a pretty rare use case anyway.
In practice, using that many '.d's anyway only happens a few times a
year.
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.
