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 commit completely switches us over to using a
dedicated model called MutedTopic to track which topics
a user has muted.
This includes the necessary migrations to create the
table and populate it from legacy data in UserProfile.
A subsequent commit will actually remove the old field
in UserProfile.
Instead of peeking directly at the DB to verify our mutes are
set correctly, we now use the library function. This prepares
us to modify the DB internals while preserving the tests.
Use this new variable to determine if the user already exists while
doing registration. While doing login through GitHub if we press
*Go back to login*, we pass email using email variable. As a result,
the login page starts showing the "User already exists error" if we
don't change the variable.
Admins need to know about private streams to delete them, even
if they are not subscribed. We send the minimal info possible
to the client to allow them to have a UI for that.
And it works!
A couple of things still to do:
* When a device token is no longer active, we'll get HTTP status 410.
We should then remove the token from the database so we don't keep
trying to push to it. This is fairly urgent.
* The library we're using has a nice asynchronous API, but this
version doesn't use it. This is OK now, but async will be
essential at scale.
This code empirically doesn't work. It's not entirely clear why, even
having done quite a bit of debugging; partly because the code is quite
convoluted, and because it shows the symptoms of people making changes
over time without really understanding how it was supposed to work.
Moreover, this code targets an old version of the APNs provider API.
Apple deprecated that in 2015, in favor of a shiny new one which uses
HTTP/2 to meet the same needs for concurrency and scale that the old
one had to do a bunch of ad-hoc protocol design for.
So, rip this code out. We'll build a pathway to the new API from
scratch; it's not that complicated.
Previously, we didn't pass customized HTTP_HOST headers when making
network requests. As we move towards a world where everything is on a
subdomain, we'll want to start doing that.
The vast majority of our test code is written to interact with the
default "zulip" realm, which has a subdomain of "zulip". While
probably longer-term, we'll wish this was the root domain, for now, we
need to make our HTTP requests match what is expected by the test
code.
This commit almost certainly introduces some weird bugs where code was
expecting a different subdomain but the tests doesn't fail yet. It's
not clear how to find all of these, but I've done some grepping.
Previously, Zulip's server logs would not show which user or client
was involved in login or user registration actions, which made
debugging more annoying than it needed to be.
This is mostly pure code extraction.
It also removes some dead code in update_muted_topic, where
were updating muted_topics spuriously before calling
do_update_muted_topic.
Unlike creating a stream, there's really no reason one would want to
call the function to create a realm while uncertain whether that realm
already existed.
For filters like has:link, where the web app doesn't necessarily
want to guess whether incoming messages meet the criteria of the
filter, the server is asked to query rows that match the query.
Usually these queries are search queries, which have fields for
content_matches and subject_matches. Our logic was handling those
correctly.
Non-search queries were throwing an exception related to tuple
unpacking. Now we recognize when those fields are absent and
do the proper thing.
There are probably situations where the web app should stop hitting
this endpoint and just use its own filters. We are making the most
defensive fix first.
Fixes#6118
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.
Before this change, server searches for both
`is:mentioned` and `is:alerted` would return all messages
where the user is specifically mentioned (but not
at-all mentions).
Now we follow the JS semantics:
is:mentioned -- all mentions, including wildcards
is:alerted -- has an alert word
Here is one relevant JS snippet:
} else if (operand === 'mentioned') {
return message.mentioned;
} else if (operand === 'alerted') {
return message.alerted;
And here you see that `mentioned` is OR'ed over both mention flags:
message.mentioned = convert_flag('mentioned') || convert_flag('wildcard_mentioned');
The `alerted` flag on the JS side is a simple mapping:
message.alerted = convert_flag('has_alert_word');
Fixes#5020
Given typeahed and the fact that this only worked if the person had a
full name that didn't contain whitespace, this side effect of the
original @shortname mentionfeature that we removed was experienced by
users as a bug.
Fixes#6142.
We apparently were using the default of num_before=1, not
num_before=0, which meant that if the very last randomly generated
message was one by cordelia mentioning lunch,
test_get_messages_with_search would fail because there were actually 3
matches.
This adds the authors to the Zulip repository on GitHub from
/authors/ along with re-styling the page to fit the same
aesthetic as /for/open-source/ and other product-pages.
This fixes the significant duplication of code between the
authenticate_log_and_execute_json code path and the `validate_api_key`
code path.
These's till a bit of duplication, in the form of `process_client` and
`request._email` interactions, but it is very minor at this point.
The new endpoints are:
/json/mark_stream_as_read: takes stream name
/json/mark_topic_as_read: takes stream name, topic name
The /json/flags endpoint no longer allows streams or topics
to be passed in as parameters.
This function optimizes marking streams and topics as read,
by using UserMessage.where_unread(), which uses a partial
index on the "read" flag.
This also simplifies the code path for ordinary message
flag updates.
In order to keep 100% line coverage, I simplified the
logging in update_message_flags, so now all requests
will show the "actually" format.
This is an interim step toward creating dedicated endpoints
for marking streams/topics as reads, so we do error checking
with asserts for flag/operation, so we don't introduce a
temporary translation string.
This is the first part of a larger migration to convert Zulip's
reactions storage to something based on the codepoint, not the emoji
name that the user typed in, so that we don't need to worry about
changes in the names we're using breaking the emoji storage.
We recently changed the populate_db data set to include more variable
message content, which happened to include the possibility of the word
"lunch" appearing in the test messages. This caused occasional
failures of the search tests that looked for messages containing
"lunch" starting at the beginning of time, not the beginning of the
test.
This commits adds new helper functions which are:
* get_users_for_soft_deactivation(): This function can be used to
fetch a list of human users which pass the criteria of minimum
inactivity period (in days) passed as a parameter to the function.
* do_soft_activate_users(): Given a list of users this function
reactivates them and help them catch up with the missing message
rows for them in the UserMessage table.
This function will help us in creating undisturbed experience for
returning soft deactivated users.
Tweaked by tabbott to fix minor performance and clarity issues.
We were exiting this function in certain cases before updating
mentions. This bug was always there, but it was flaky in terms
of database setup whether the tests would fail, so now the
relevant test sends three consecutive messages.
We also avoid putting duplicate message ids in mentions.
This should significantly improve the user experience for new users
signing up with GitHub/Google auth. It comes complete with tests for
the various cases. Further work may be needed for LDAP to not prompt
for a password, however.
Fixes#886.
This allows us to go to Registration form directly. This behaviour is
similar to what we follow in GitHub oAuth. Before this, in registration
flow if an account was not found, user was asked if they wanted to go to
registration flow. This confirmation behavior is followed for login
oauth path.
We apparently were not correctly clearing the user_profile's email
address from caches when changing email addresses, which meant that
trying to look up the old email in the user_profile caches would still
work.
Fixes#6035.
The "all" option for 'message/flags' was dangerous, as it could
apply to any of our flags. The only flag it made sense for, the
"read" flag, now has a dedicated endpoint.
This change simplifies how we mark all messages as read. It also
speeds up the backend by taking advantage of our partial index
for unread messages. We also use a new statsd indicator.
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.
interface_type select menu will be used to choose the interface
for outgoing webhooks. It will be displayed only when the selected
bot type is OUTGOING WEBHOOK type. The default value is GENERIC
interface type (1).
We are adding a new list of unread message ids grouped by
conversation to the queue registration result. This will allow
clients to show accurate unread badges without needing to load an
unbound number of historic messages.
Jason started this commit, and then Steve Howell finished it.
We only identify conversations using stream_id/user_id info;
we may need a subsequent version that includes things like
stream names and user emails/names for API clients that don't
have data structures to map ids -> attributes.
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 route is called only in `js/compose.js`, to handle autosubscribe.
That code doesn't check this "exists" field, because there's no need
-- the same information is already carried in whether the result was
success or failure. So just eliminate it.
This makes the logic here a little simpler. It also eliminates
another usage of the `data` parameter to `json_error`. I have half a
mind to eliminate that parameter, in favor of making `JsonableError`
subclasses whenever there's structured data to include, in particular
to get the benefits of typing. There are a couple of places where
that change isn't locally a clear win, but this is not one of them.
This error isn't saying that any kind of authentication or
authorization failed -- it's just a validation error like
any other validation error in the values the user is asking to
set. The thought of authentication comes into it only because
the setting happens to be *about* authentication.
Fix the error to look like the other validation errors around it,
rather than give a 403 HTTP status code and a "reason" field that
mimics the "reason" fields in `api_fetch_api_key`.
Process the unicode emojis in twitter link previews and render them
properly. Before this we were not processing the unicode emojis in
twitter link previews and hence on the systems which don't have
fonts for displaying them they were rendered as blank boxes.
Fixes: #5427.
Add test to check if the embedded bot service being used is in the
registry or not.
Add test to check if the bot being added to the registry has a valid
bot corresponding to it.
Move 'get_bot_handler' to 'zerver/lib/bot_lib.py' as it is an independent
function, not related to the 'EmbeddedBotWorker' class that it was
previously a part of.
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.
The whole thing is an error, so "message" is a more apt word for the
error message specifically. We abbreviate that as `msg` in the actual
HTTP responses and in the signatures of `json_error` and friends, so
do the same here.
