Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is
no longer viable for us.

The show password feature is a functionality to
toggle the visibility of the password fields in forms
so that one can check if they have entered the correct
password or not. We implement this using an eye icon
toggling which converts input field type from password
to text and vice-versa.
Fixes part of #17301.
I have updated the remote development documentations to be more accurate
when it comes to developing on a Zulip Development Droplet to ensure
the user knows to access at `zulip.username.zulipdev.org`.
This change attempts to highlight WSL 2 as the default installation
method for Windows; that is currently much more reliable than Vagrant.
Further work is probably needed to complete this transition.
This documentation does not work and has not been used for years.
At this point, `provision` is sufficiently flexible in terms of
supporting different platforms that any future work will be to extend
it, rather than maintaining awkward manual installation documentation.
This commits adds instructions to bring up the
vagrant development server using the Hyper-V provider.
Additionally, this commits also removes the indication
that this guide for `non vagrant use` from the top of
the document. Also fixes a little grammatical error
under the `Newer versions of supported distributions`
heading.
Fixes#16994.
Development environment docs contains an outdated
statement stating that the non-vagrant setup can't
be used on windows, while it can now be used on windows by
using wsl. This commit fixes the statement and points
the link towards the non-vagrant setup process page.
Fixes#17721.
This commit adds about Remote - SSH extension (in VS Code), which
helps us develop remotely by providing a similar interface as if we
are developing locally. We also simplify the documentation for RMate
to use the new standards.
Tweaked by tabbott for simplification/formatting.
It seems the Ubuntu base image we use now has a new enough VirtualBox
Guest Additions to trigger the ETXTBSY bug even when it’s not upgraded
by the vagrant-vbguest plugin. Provide and document a way to
downgrade it.

We add navigating to user home inside WSL virtual disk as another
step as many users clone Zulip inside a mounted windows disk and
run into permission issues when running provision.
There are file sharing issues with the macOS 10.15.6 and
vagrant. var/remote_cache_prefix was an empty file when using
VirtualBox and Docker on macOS.
Using parallels as a provider for vagrant fixes the issue.
Use --watch-poll which makes webpack to recompile
automatically on file changes, since inotify is not
working here too.
The apple developer webapp consistently refers this App ID. So,
this clears any confusion that can occur.
Since python social auth only requires us to include App ID in
_AUDIENCE(a list), we do that in computed settings making it easier for
server admin and we make it much clear by having it set to
APP_ID instead of BUNDLE_ID.
This implementation overrides some of PSA's internal backend
functions to handle `state` value with redis as the standard
way doesn't work because of apple sending required details
in the form of POST request.
Includes a mixin test class that'll be useful for testing
Native auth flow.
Thanks to Mateusz Mandera for the idea of using redis and
other important work on this.

We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
This should help ensure everyone uses the SSH key approach for Git
authentication; the HTTPS one is basically unusable as one has to
provide one's GitHub password after every command.
The new tools now have more concise, more parallel names:
- rebuild-dev-database
- rebuild-test-database
The actual implementations are still pretty different:
rebuild-dev-database:
mostly delegates to 5 management scripts
rebuild-test-database:
is a very thin wrapper for generate-fixtures
We'll try to clean that up a bit soon.
We no longer need to maintain duplicate code
related to where we set up the emoji
cache directory.
And we no longer need two extra steps for
people doing advanced (i.e. manual) setup.
There was no clear benefit to having provision
build the cache directory for `build_emoji`,
when it was easy to make `build_emoji` more
self-sufficient. The `build_emoji` tool
was already importing the library that has
`run_as_root`, and it was already responsible
for 99% of the create-directory kind of tasks.
(We always call `build_emoji` unconditionally from
`provision`, so there's no rationale in terms
of avoiding startup time or something.)
ASIDE:
Its not completely clear to me why we need
to put this directory in "/srv", instead of
somewhere more local (like we already do for
Travis), but maybe it's just to be like
its siblings in "/srv":
node_modules
yarn.lock
zulip-emoji-cache
zulip-npm-cache
zulip-py3-venv
zulip-thumbor-venv
zulip-venv-cache
zulip-yarn
I guess the caches that we keep in var are
dev-only, although I think some of what's under
`zulip-emoji-cache` is also dev-only in nature?
./var/webpack-cache
./var/mypy-cache
In `docs/subsystems/emoji.md` we say this:
```
The `build_emoji` tool generates the set of files under
`static/generated/emoji` (or really, it generates the
`/srv/zulip-emoji-cache/<sha1>/emoji` tree, and
`static/generated/emoji` is a symlink to that tree;we do this in
order to cache old versions to make provisioning and production
deployments super fast in the common case that we haven't changed the
emoji tooling). [...]
```
I don't really understand that rationale for the development
case, since `static/generated` is as much ignored by `git` as
'/srv' is, without the complications of needing `sudo` to create it.
And in production, I'm not sure how much time we're really saving,
as it takes me about 1.4s to fully rebuild the cache in dev, not to
mention we're taking on upgrade risk by sharing files between versions.
Instructions were added by doing the setup on Ubuntu 18.04 WSL 2.
While the setup should be similar for other distributions supported by
our `./tools/provision` script inside WSL, it has not been tested.
