Normally the "n" key skips over muted streams, but if we
are currently narrowed inside a muted stream, it will now
go to the next topics within that stream.
For me the use case was that I have a stream I check up on
about once a day, and "n" would be super useful for me to
clear out unread counts while still skimming some content,
and without having to temporarily unmute the stream.
Also unconditionally use the `mypy` from our virtualenv --
that's how we ensure we use a common version across different
Zulip developers and in CI.
And as a side effect of cutting some Python 2 vs. Python 3 logic,
fix a bug where `--all` was having no effect.
This keeps the examples in line with our actual codebase.
Also while I'm here revise it to explain the actual motivation for our
use of `env`, and to correct some subtle details -- it's actually the
kernel that interprets the shebang (as visible in e.g. a `strace` log),
not the shell, and when the program is executed as `./my_program.py`
the exact name including `./` is passed to the interpreter.
We had been forcing provision to Python 3 in dev. Now that everything
is Python 3 and the `tools/lib/provision.py` shebang reflects that, we
can just invoke the script directly like everything else.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
An expression like `force_bytes(chr(...))`, on Python 3 where the
`force_bytes` finds itself with something to do because `chr` returns
a text string, gives the UTF-8 encoding of the given value as a
Unicode codepoint.
Here, we don't want that -- rather we want the given value as a
single byte. We can do that with `struct.pack`.
This fixes an issue where the "Link with Webathena" flow was producing
invalid credential caches when run on Python 3, breaking the Zephyr
mirror for any user who went through it anew.
In this commit we are moving the .emoji-popover-emoji.reaction
click handler to register_click_handlers() so as to have parity
with rest of the code design.
We now use similar code for A/D hotkeys as we do for the "n"
key.
The old code was using jQuery operations that got tripped up
by our splitters between active and inactive streams.
Fixes#4569
This allows us to traverse a list backwards, cycling to the
bottom as needed.
This code is going to be used for the "A" key that cycles
upward in the stream sidebar. It's probably overkill for
that use case, but it does give us O(1) behavior and avoids
the pitfall of accidentally mutating a list when reversing it.
Previously, the Zulip webapp would throw an exception if you used a
character like "+" in your search query, since we were using regular
expressions, when really we should have been just searching for
characters.
We now call the create_large_migrations management command as part of
upgrade-zulip-stage-2 if needed, so that we can create large indexes
while the app is still up.
This management command creates the same indexes as migrations
82, 83, and 95, which are all indexes on the huge UserMessage
table. (*)
This command quickly no-ops with clear messaging when the
indexes already exist, so it's idempotent in that regard. (If
somebody somehow creates an index by the same name incorrectly,
they can always drop it in dbshell and re-run this command.)
If any of the migrations have not been run, which we detect simply
by the existence of the indexes, then we create them using a
`CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` command. This functionality in
postgres allows you to create indexes against large tables
without disrupting queries against those tables. The tradeoff
here is that creating indexes concurrently takes significantly
longer than doing them non-concurrently.
Since most tables are small, we typically just use regular
Django migrations and run them during a brief interval while
the app is down.
For indexes on big tables, we will want to run this command
as part of the upgrade process, and we will want to run
it while the app is still up, otherwise it's pointless.
All the code in create_indexes() is literally copy/pasted
from the relevant migrations, and that scheme should work
going forward. (It uses a different implementation of
create_index_if_not_exist than the migrations use, but the
code is identical lexically in the function.)
If we ever do major restructuring of our large tables, such
as UserMessage, and we end up droppping some of these indexes,
then we will need to make this command migrations-aware. For
now it's safe to assume that indexes are generally additive in
nature, and the sooner we create them during the upgrade process,
the better.
(*) UserMessage is huge for large installations, of course.
