This makes it possible to mention a user with a name like Gaël that
contains diacritics by typing e.g. "Gael", significantly reducing the
need to use a special keyboard to mention other users.
Fixes#11183.
This makes it possible it include our standard markdown formatting in
one's custom profile fields, allowing for links, emphasis, emoji, etc.
Fixes#10131.
While we're at it, we remove the JSON parsing that was part of the
user field code path, since this function isn't responsible for
rendering user fields.
We want to avoid `blueslip.error` in cases where
the root cause could just be bad data that is
human-entered.
There are a few callers here who **should** be
sending good data all the time, but hopefully
they either have good test coverage, other
obvious failure symptoms, or, ideally, just
do what the user would mostly expect in the
face of bad data.
Internally we generally omit our own id and email
in data structures related to PMs, except when we
are the sender, but if we receive "perma links"
we will need to filter out our id.
This commit exposes the function is_duplicate_full_name()
that can be used to discern if we cannot identify a user
just by their full name in the interface and have to use
his user id as well to distinguish them from other users.
This is part of work to break some of our
nastier circular dependencies in preparation
for our es6 migration.
This commit should facilitate loading leaf-like
modules such as people.js before all of the things
that reload.js depends on.
This was supposed to be suppressed when a reload is in progress,
however, the logic was accidentally checking that
reload.is_in_progress was a defined function, not whether a reload was
actually in progress.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
Fixes#3380.
The blueslip warning mentioned in #3380 were from paths ending at
people.email_list_to_user_ids_string. Some additional blueslip warnings
were raised after using that function.
Although we can put a validation check somewhere in the call stack of
people.email_list_to_user_ids_string, this function itself is used to
validate the operand by the higher order functions, so it wouldn't make
sense to put a validation check before that. Instead, removing the
blueslip warning altogether was chosen.
people.email_list_to_user_ids_string was replaced by
people.reply_to_to_user_ids_string which is a blueslip-free version
of the same. Other blueslip warnings were removed.
If the browser is in the progress of reloading when it finishes
fetching some messages, it's not really a bug, and we shouldn't report
it as such.
This should help make Zulip's browser error reporting less spammy.
Also adds a custom rule to eslint. Since the recommended way of extending
eslint is to create plugins as standalone npm packages, the separate rule
is published as 'eslint-plugins-empty-returns'.
Fixes#8669.
This change prepares us to have the server send avatar_url
of None when somebody wants a gravatar avatar (as opposed
to a user-uploaded one).
Subsequent commits will change behavior on both the server
and client to have this happen. So this commit has no-op
code for now, but it will soon use the fallback-to-gravatar
logic.
This commit is easy to revert if we want to tone down errors
to warnings for the short term, while our codepath still does
proper handling for adding users when they come in messages.
This logic used to be in extract_people_from_message(), but
we are deprecating extract_people_from_message(), whereas
the maybe_incr_recipient_count() function has logic that we
want to keep.
This change is the first step in making it so that we load
non-active users at page load time in the webapp.
Before this change, we would reactively handle deactivated
users when we saw them as senders in messages. Subsequent
changes will make it a warning if we see unknown senders
in messages.
We were incorrectly reporting active bots as non-active in
popovers, and we had no test coverage for cross-realm bots.
We also rename the function to is_active_user_for_popover,
since the old name, realm_user_is_active_human_or_bot, suggested
the wrong semantics for cross-realm bots.
Last but not least, we only do a blueslip warning if a user id
is not found. When lookups fail, we are pretty confident that
the user is not active, so an error is overkill. We can change
that as part of issue #7120.
Fixes#7153
It's easier to unit test logic inside of people.js than compose.js.
We allow users to compose emails to any of our cross-realm bots.
Someday we may tighten up which cross-realm bots are valid targets,
since it's not necessarily the case that those bots do anything
useful when you send them messages.
This dictionary includes bots, so the reference to
"people" in the name `realm_people_dict` was misleading.
We omit `realm` for brevity sake--it's usually the case
that folks implementing new features can safely ignore
cross-realm bots, and it's on our roadmap to move those
bots into the realm.
The function name `get_realm_human_user_ids` was a lie--it
includes active bots as well.
The only user of this function is `activity.js`, which wasn't
impacted by the misleading name, because we eventually filter
out bots in the `info_for` function.
It's possible that we actually want to include bots in the right
sidebar, since they can be difficult to discover in other parts
of the UI. Or, if we want to keep the right sidebar as all
human users, we may eventually want to make the logic to exclude
bots happen higher in the stack (but for real, this time).
Apparently this is a bug that slipped in when we started showing
normal users as deactivated in the user popovers: all bot users were
treated that way as well.
We'll want to do #7153 as a follow-up to get things fully working how
we want them.
This allows user to view all group private conversation messages
with a specific user. That is, it views all the the group private
messages from groups which include the given user.
Add search suggestion for group-pm-with. Add operator name
and description in "Search operators" tab.
Add change in tab name to "Group Messages" when using this operator.
Add frontend_tests for group-pm-with search operator.
Fixes: #3882.
