In Django 2.1, the preferred way to express a nullable BooleanField
changed from NullBooleanField to passing null=True to BooleanField.
This updates our codebase to use the preferred API. Tweaked by
tabbott to update the linter rules.
The migration is a noop for Django accounting only.

Add sgrep (sgrep.dev) to tooling and include simple rule as
proof of concept. Included rule detects use of old django render
function.
Also added a rule that looks for if-else statements where both
code paths are identical.
While we could fix this issue by changing the markdown processor,
doing so is not a robust solution, because even a momentary bug in the
markdown processor could allow cached messages that do not follow our
security policy.
This change ensures that even if our markdown processor has bugs that
result in rendered content that does not properly follow our policy of
using rel="noopener noreferrer" on links, we'll still do something
reasonable.

I believe we can remove these and rely on
other parts of our testing/code-review
to ensure template quality.
These tests never really exercised our
app code, as evidenced by us not regressing
any of the 100%-line-coverage files.
We have a couple other ways that we verify
the correct format of the templates:
- webpack (can they compile?)
- check-templates (are they nicely indented?)
For deep testing, we have Casper, which
exercises most of our most important templates
in some meaningful way.
I think it's pretty rare that we get bugs
now that are directly caused by bad templates,
and an even smaller subset of them would
have been caught by the node tests.
If that trend changes in the future, I would prefer to
just do something "greenfield" to address
any common problems rather than resurrect
this code, but we could always resurrect it
from git.
The template node tests did check a little bit of
detail about which fields are there, but not
in an integrated way, so that aspect of the tests
wasn't very useful either.
We prefer this to internal_send_message().
We are trying to deprecate `internal_send_message`,
which has extra moving parts related to
`extract_recipients` and `Addressee.legacy_build`.
There are two chunks of code that I touch here
that look pretty similar, but I'm not quite
sure they're worth de-duplicating, since they
use different topics and different message
content.
Instead of having `notify_new_user` delegate
all the heavy lifting to `send_signup_message`,
we just rename `send_signup_message` to be
`notify_new_user` and remove the one-line
wrapper.
We remove a lot of obsolete complexity:
- `internal` was no longer ever set to True
by real code, so we kill it off as well
as well as killing off the internal_blurb code
and the now-obsolete test
- the `sender` parameter was actually an
email, not a UserProfile, but I think
that got past mypy due to the caller
passing in something from settings.py
- we were only passing in NOTIFICATION_BOT
for the sender, so we just hard code
that now
- we eliminate the verbose
`admin_realm_signup_notifications_stream`
parameter and just hard code it to
"signups"
- we weren't using the optional realm
parameter
There's also a long ugly comment in
`get_recipient_info` related to this code
that I amended for now.
We should try to take action in a subsequent
commit.
We now use vdom-ish techniques to track the
list items for the pm list. When we go to update
the list, we only re-render nodes whose data
has changed, with two exceptions:
- Obviously, the first time we do a full render.
- If the keys for the items have changed (i.e.
a new node has come in or the order has changed),
we just re-render the whole list.
If the keys are the same since the last re-render, we
only re-render individual items if their data has
changed.
Most of the new code is in these two modules:
- pm_list_dom.js
- vdom.js
We remove all of the code in pm_list.js that is
related to updating DOM with unread counts.
For presence updates, we are now *never*
re-rendering the whole list, since presence
updates only change individual line items and
don't affect the keys. Instead, we just update
any changed elements in place.
The main thing that makes this all work is the
`update` method in `vdom`, which is totally generic
and essentially does a few simple jobs:
- detect if keys are different
- just render the whole ul as needed
- for items that change, do the appropriate
jQuery to update the item in place
Note that this code seems to play nice with simplebar.
Also, this code continues to use templates to render
the individual list items.
FWIW this code isn't radically different than list_render,
but it's got some key differences:
- There are fewer bells and whistles in this code.
Some of the stuff that list_render does is overkill
for the PM list.
- This code detects data changes.
Note that the vdom scheme is agnostic about templates;
it simply requires the child nodes to provide a render
method. (This is similar to list_render, which is also
technically agnostic about rendering, but which also
does use templates in most cases.)
These fixes are somewhat related to #13605, but we
haven't gotten a solid repro on that issue, and
the scrolling issues there may be orthogonal to the
redraws. But having fewer moving parts here should
help, and we won't get the rug pulled out from under
us on every presence update.
There are two possible extensions to this that are
somewhat overlapping in nature, but can be done
one a time.
* We can do a deeper vdom approach here that
gets us away from templates, and just have
nodes write to an AST. I have this on another
branch, but it might be overkill.
* We can avoid some redraws by detecting where
keys are moving up and down. I'm not completely
sure we need it for the PM list.
If this gets merged, we may want to try similar
things for the stream list, which also does a fairly
complicated mixture of big-hammer re-renders and
surgical updates-in-place (with custom code).
BTW we have 100% line coverage for vdom.js.
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
Addresses point 1 of #13533.
MissedMessageEmailAddress objects get tied to the specific that was
missed by the user. A useful benefit of that is that email message sent
to that address will handle topic changes - if the message that was
missed gets its topic changed, the email response will get posted under
the new topic, while in the old model it would get posted under the
old topic, which could potentially be confusing.
Migrating redis data to this new model is a bit tricky, so the migration
code has comments explaining some of the compromises made there, and
test_migrations.py tests handling of the various possible cases that
could arise.
Fixes#13452.
The migration from UserProfile.is_realm_admin/UserProfile.is_guest in
e10361a832 broke our LDAP-based support
for setting a user's role via LDAP properties, which relied on setting
those fields. Because the django-auth-ldap feature powering that only
supports booleans (and in any case, we don't want to expose constants
like `ROLE_REALM_ADMINISTRATOR` to the LDAP configuration interface),
it makes sense to provide setters for these legacy fields for
backwards-compatibility.
We lint against using these setters directly in Zulip's codebase
directly. The issue with using these is that when changing user's
.role we want to create appropriate RealmAuditLog entries and send
events. This isn't possible when using these setters - the log entries
and events should be created if the role change in the UserProfile is
actually save()-ed to the database - and on the level of the setter
function, it's not known whether the change will indeed be saved.
It would have to be somehow figured out on the level of post_save
signal handlers, but it doesn't seem like a good design to have such
complexity there, for the sake of setters that generally shouldn't be
used anyway - because we prefer the do_change_is_* functions.
The purpose of this change is narrowly to handle use cases like the
setattr on these boolean properties.
A bug in Zulip's new user signup process meant that users who
registered their account using social authentication (e.g. GitHub or
Google SSO) in an organization that also allows password
authentication could have their personal API key stolen by an
unprivileged attacker, allowing nearly full access to the user's
account.
Zulip versions between 1.7.0 and 2.0.6 were affected.
This commit fixes the original bug and also contains a database
migration to fix any users with corrupt `password` fields in the
database as a result of the bug.
Out of an abundance of caution (and to protect the users of any
installations that delay applying this commit), the migration also
resets the API keys of any users where Zulip's logs cannot prove the
user's API key was not previously stolen via this bug. Resetting
those API keys will be inconvenient for users:
* Users of the Zulip mobile and terminal apps whose API keys are reset
will be logged out and need to login again.
* Users using their personal API keys for any other reason will need
to re-fetch their personal API key.
We discovered this bug internally and don't believe it was disclosed
prior to our publishing it through this commit. Because the algorithm
for determining which users might have been affected is very
conservative, many users who were never at risk will have their API
keys reset by this migration.
To avoid this on self-hosted installations that have always used
e.g. LDAP authentication, we skip resetting API keys on installations
that don't have password authentication enabled. System
administrators on installations that used to have email authentication
enabled, but no longer do, should temporarily enable EmailAuthBackend
before applying this migration.
The migration also records which users had their passwords or API keys
reset in the usual RealmAuditLog table.
- Moves "Authentication in the development environment" from subsystems
to "development/authentication.md".
- Moves "Renumbering migrations" to a section within "Schema migrations".
login_context now gets the social_backends list through
get_social_backend_dicts and we move display_logo customization
to backend class definition.
This prepares for easily adding multiple IdP support in SAML
authentication - there will be a social_backend dict for each configured
IdP, also allowing display_name and icon customization per IdP.
Follow up of commit 2a1305d. Replace all local variables named 'msgid'
with 'message_id' in all JS and HTML files, and adds a linter rule for
it as well.
Resolves#12952.
This let's us clean up the linter that excludes the use of get_stream
and by adding the access_unchecked in the name we make it clear that
it should be used with caution.

This change serves to declutter webhook-errors.log, which is
filled with too many UnexpectedWebhookEventType exceptions.
Keeping UnexpectedWebhookEventType in zerver/lib/webhooks/common.py
led to a cyclic import when we tried to import the exception in
zerver/decorators.py, so this commit also moves this exception to
another appropriate module. Note that our webhooks still import
this exception via zerver/lib/webhooks/common.py.
As of commit cff40c557b (#9300), these

This is mostly adding markup, calling some convenient
functions in buddy_data.js, and adjusting CSS.
To make the circles update dynamically, I mostly
orchestrate this though activity.js for now. It's
possible we'll want to adjust that eventually to
happen through something like a `presence_events`

a good part of `activity.js` does now.
This commit does the following three things:
1. Update stream model to accomodate rendered description.
2. Render and save the stream rendered description on update.
3. Render and save stream descriptions on creation.
Further, the stream's rendered description is also sent whenever the
stream's description is being sent.
This is preparatory work for eliminating the use of the
non-authoritative marked.js markdown parser for stream descriptions.
As part of this change, we port into the .messages class the work in
4e8e7348da to change overflow-y to auto,

We instead get the specific fields from message

for subject -> topic migration; we no longer
have to account for "subject" fields in
client-side templates.
This is a major rewrite of the billing system. It moves subscription
information off of stripe Subscriptions and into a local CustomerPlan

some known regressions, e.g. error-handling on /upgrade is broken.

This is a common bug that users might be tempated to introduce.
And also fix two instances of this bug that were present in our
codebase, including an important one in our upgrade code path.
The fixture changes are because self.upgrade formerly used to cause a page load
of /billing, which in turn calls Customer.retrieve.
If we ran the full test suite with GENERATE_STRIPE_FIXTURES=True, we would
likely see several more Customer.retrieve.N.json's being deleted. But
keeping them there for now to keep the diff small.
This commit works by vendoring the couple functions we still use from
puppetlabs stdlib (join and range), but removing the rest of the
puppetlabs codebase, and of course cleaning up our linter rules in the
process.
Fixes#7423.
This release is from 2018-08-22, a little over 100 days ago.
It was the first release with the important fix so that when the
server advises it to stop displaying a notification because the user
has read the message (as the SEND_REMOVE_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS server
setting enables), the app doesn't instead replace the notification
with a broken one reading "null". We have that setting running now
on chat.zulip.org, and intend to roll it out more broadly soon.
The `# take 0` thing is a slightly absurd workaround for the fact
that our funky out-of-line way of marking lines to ignore doesn't
work right if there are multiple such lines in a given file that
are equal modulo leading and trailing whitespace.
This fixes an actual user-facing issue in our mobile push
notifications documentation (where we were incorrectly failing to
quote the argument to `./manage.py register_server` making it not
work), as well as preventing future similar issues from occurring
again via a linter rule.
This seems like kind of a silly function to extract
to topic.py, but it will theoretically help us sweep
"subject" if we change the DB.
It had test coverage.
Even though you'd think these regexes would be
cached, compiling the regex outside of looping
through lines makes a difference.
My timings are 8.4s -> 6.0s. (You need to hack
on the linter to isolate the custom checks.)
We (lexically) remove "subject" from the conversion code. The
`build_message` helper calls `set_topic_name` under the hood,
so things still have "subject" in the JSON.
There was good code coverage on `build_message`.
Previously, a string ending in "... 😄" was reported as an
error and the linter complained that there should be a space
after the last ':'. This commit changes the pattern so that the
linter only checks for colons that are preceded by an opening
double-quote (").
We now prevent adding "subject" to any code in
zerver/lib, unless you specifically exempt it.
The new set called `FILES_WITH_LEGACY_SUJECT`
is also has comments that give a roadmap of what
to fix.
We drop support for usage of `icon-vector` as base class when
including icons from font awesome icons package.
Now on, only icons as specified in font awesome v4.7.0 can be used
in the code base.
This module makes it really easy to create are-you-sure
dialogs for dangerous operations.
Basically it's one function with five parameters. You
give three chunks of HTML, a callback function, and
a parent container.
The first use of this will be in settings_user_groups,
coming up in a couple commits.
Apparently, `puppet-lint` on Ubuntu trusty throws warnings for certain
quoting patterns that are OK in modern `puppet-lint`. I believe the
old Zulip code was actually correct (i.e. the old `puppet-lint`
implementation was the problem), but it seems worth changing anyway to
suppress the warnings.
We also exclude more of puppet-apt from linting, since it's
third-party code.
We start to use puppet-lint to lint puppet modules by default by
adding it to tools/lint (which controls our linter tool chain).
We also define a few puppet-lint rules to exclude.
Fixes: #9185.
After the messages have been imported, set the rendered_content of the
messages instead of leaving its value to be 'None'.
This is important to ensure that:
(1) Performance for users is good after completing the import.
(2) The database's full-text indexes have all of the imported messages
(which only happens properly when Message rows have their
rendered_content field edited).
Fixes#9168.
The only changes visible at the AST level, checked using
https://github.com/asottile/astpretty, are
zerver/lib/test_fixtures.py:
'\x1b\\[(1|0)m' ↦ '\\x1b\\[(1|0)m'
'\\[[X| ]\\] (\\d+_.+)\n' ↦ '\\[[X| ]\\] (\\d+_.+)\\n'
which is fine because re treats '\\x1b' and '\\n' the same way as
'\x1b' and '\n'.

This adds a tour of Zulip to the bottom of the homepage.
In order to get the carousel nave, we use Bootstrap 2 from a CDN on

Bootstrap across the project is too much work for now.
This should make it easier to find the templates that are actually
part of the core webapp, instead of having them all mixed together
with the portico pages.
This prevents us from using const in our JS code, with exceptions
for test code and the portico. Hopefully this is just a temporary
rule until we make our pipelines with work with ES6.
I tried to prevent "let", but that was too noisy.
This adjusts the one false-negative case of using const in a comment.
Namely, annotate as best as possible, and add notes to indicate preference,
if QuerySet develops generic typing.
Note that the return values of functions with annotations changed in this
commit are used elsewhere as QuerySets, so the Sequence[T] approach used
for some functions in models.py is not applicable.
Other functions took the form of returning Sequence[T] when the QuerySet
functionality is unused beyond the function, with T being the objects
filtered for in the function body; this commit follows that practice for the
one remaining python2 comment-annotated function, completing the transition
of models.py to py3.5 function annotations.
A note is also added to another function regarding a need to return a
QuerySet, and ideally a QuerySet[T] in line with the other functions, as and
when QuerySet becomes annotated as a generic.
Main exceptions are scripts/tools/puppet & tests.
Other current exclusions:
- api_test_helpers.py (avoid changing test code);
- cache.py, due to comments in file;
- models.py, due to failure on QuerySet[Message];
- stream_subscription.py, due to failure on QuerySet[Subscription];
- tornado/descriptors.py;
- views/streams.py, due to remaining FuncKwargPair issue;
- zthumbor/, since thumbor is in python2.

Now that we have `eval_rst` and can explicitly exclude pages from the

[greg: expanded commit message; fixed import ordering and some types.]
We should omit these for mypy. For most class definitions,
mypy doesn't need `Any`, and it provides no real useful info.
For clever monkeypatches, you should provide a more specific
type than `Any`.
The `re.match` function in the Python stdlib is a trap for the unwary,
with surprising and asymmetrical semantics; we should probably add a
lint rule to ban it entirely. The docstring says:
> Try to apply the pattern at the start of the string, [...]
In other words, it effectively adds a `^` at the start (or `\A`, where
the distinction matters.) It's bad enough that this differs from what
grep, sed, perl, less, and every other tool I can think of do when
looking for matches to a regex; on top of that, it treats the
beginning of the string differently from the end, for no obvious
reason. The function that does what the rest of the world understands
by "match against this regex" is `re.search`.
In this case, it's unlikely that anyone intended for comments with
URLs, or `api_url` references, to miss out on their respective
exceptions to the long-line rule if they happen to start after the
first column. So fix those rules by just switching to `re.search`
with the same pattern.
I think Markdown URL references may have to start at the beginning of
the line, so I've left a `^` there to preserve -- but now make
explicit -- the `re.match` behavior.
Tweaked by tabbott to move changes from the next commit that are
required for this to pass tests into this commit.
Note that this exports a few items that were not previously exported.
This is part of our efforts to change our integrations/webhooks
docs to follow the same sort of numbered-list format as our /help
docs. In order to indicate that paragraphs separated by newlines
are part of the same numbered-list point, every paragraph must be
indented 4 spaces.
This both improves the comment to be more readable, and also uses the
new and improved exclude feature to limit the exclusion to just the
webhook fixtures (where it's needed).
Also fixes a mypy error.
The previous exclude rules only allowed excluding a directory (and
things in subdirectories would silently still be linted). Anyone
using this would expect it to exclude a directory tree, so we make it
do that.
The readthedocs theme overrides a few settings in their layout template.
We might want to change some settings back to their default values.
This commit copies the original readthedocs layout file from

Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).

This commit allows for the /api-new/ page to rendered similarly to our

Tweaked by eeshangarg and tabbott.
The "subdomain" label is redundant, to the extent it's even
accurate -- this is really just the URL we want to display,
which may or may not involve a subdomain. Similarly "external".
The former `external_api_path_subdomain` was never a path -- it's a
host, followed by a path, which together form a scheme-relative URL.
I'm not quite convinced that value is actually the right thing in
2 of the 3 places we use it, but fixing that can start by giving an
accurate name to the thing we have.
I'd much rather see something like
if (thing_is_permissible(user, thing)
or (user_possesses_hammer(user)
and glass_break_requested(thing))):
than
if (thing_is_permissible(user, thing) or
(user_possesses_hammer(user) and
glass_break_requested(thing))):
because the former makes the overall logic much easier to scan.
Similarly for a formula full of arithmetic rather than Boolean
operators. And the actual PEP 8 agrees (though until 2016 it
unfortunately had the opposite advice.)
The upstream linter still applies the backward rule, so disable that.
Except in:
- docs/writing-bots-guide.md, because bots are supposed to be Python 2
compatible
- puppet/zulip_ops/files/zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces, because this
script is still on python2.7
- tools/lint
- tools/linter_lib
- tools/lister.py
For the latter two, because they might be yanked away to a separate repo
for general use with other FLOSS projects.
This lint rule has bitten me a couple of times in working on logging.
These regex rules will inevitably be heuristic, but we can make it a bit more
specific so that the heuristic mainly means it could occasionally miss
something, rather than get in the way with an obviously wrong complaint.
This has a ton of exclude rules, for two reasons:
(1) We haven't been particularly systematic about avoiding unnecessary
inline style in the past, so there's a lot of code we need to fix.
(2) There are cases where one wants to dynamically compute style
rules. For the latter category, ideally we'd figure out a way to
exclude these automatically (e.g. checking for mustache tags in the
style tag).
