Apparently, the "continue to registration" flow used a subtly invalid
way of encoding the full name. We put in the query part of the action
URL of the HTML form, but apparently HTML forms with a `GET` type will
ignore the query part (replacing it with any input values), which
makes sense but doesn't do what we want here. There are a few sane
ways to fix it, but given that the encoding logic we had before for
including the name in the URL was ugly, I'm pretty happy with just
adding a hidden input to the form for the name.
As part of Google+ being removed, they've eliminated support for the
/plus/v1/people/me endpoint. Replace it with the very similar
/oauth2/v3/userinfo endpoint.
This additional logic to prevent resizing is certain circumstances
(file size, dimensions) is necessary because the pillow gif handling
code seems to be rather flaky with regards to handling gif color
palletes, causing broken gifs after resizing. The workaround is to
only resize when absolutely necessary (e.g. because the file is larger
than 128x128 or 128KB).
Fixes#10351.
We had initially designed the poll widget like a blog
post with comments beneath it but it makes more sense
to think of it as just a simple poll with options.
We add a new syntax which converts the messages like the following:
```
/poll Who do you support?
Nadal
- Djokovic
```
to a poll with the two names as options. The list syntax is optional
since anyone making a poll is likely to want to create a list anyway.
This doesn't have any security impact, since we overwrote any other
fields in any case, and also this step happens before the security
part of input validation for stream creation. But this does improve
error messages if one tries to specify other arguments, and also makes
more clear that the `description` argument is supported here.
Refactor the potentially expensive work done by Beautiful Soup into a
function that is called by the alter_content function, so that we can
cache the result. Saves a significant portion of the runtime of
loading of all of our /help/ and /api/ documentation pages (e.g. 12ms
for /api).
Fixes#11088.
Tweaked by tabbott to use the URL path as the cache key, clean up
argument structure, and use a clearer name for the function.
In very old Slack workspaces, slackbot can appear as "Slackbot", and
the import script only checks for "slackbot" (case sensitive). This
breaks the import--it throws the assert that immediately follows the
test. I don't know how common this is, but it definitely affected our
import.
The simple fix is to compare against a lowercased-version of the
user's full name.
Earlier, our realm filters didn't render for languages that do not
use spaces (eg: Japanese) since we used to check for the presence
of an actual space character. This commit replaces that logic with
a complex scheme to detect word boundaries.
Also, we convert the RealmFilterPattern to subclass InlineProcessor
and make use of the new no-op feature in py-markdown 3.0.1 where we
can tell py-markdown that our pattern didn't find a match despite
the initial regex getting matched.
Fixes#9883.
Since we are building our parser from scratch now:
1. We have control over which proccessor goes at what priority number.
Thus, we have also shifted the deprecated `.add()` calls to use the
new `.register()` calls with explicit priorities, but maintaining
the original order that the old method generated.
2. We do not have to remove the processors added by py-markdown that
we do not use in Zulip; we explicitly add only the processors we
do require.
3. We can cluster the building of each type of parser in one place,
and in the order they need to be so that when we register them,
there is no need to sort the list. This also makes for a huge
improvement in the readability of the code, as all the components
of each type are registered in the same function.
These are significant performance improvements, because we save on
calls to `str.startswith` in `.add()`, all the resources taken to
generate the default to-be-removed processors and the time taken to
sort the list of processors.
Following are the profiling results for the changes made. Here, we
build 10 engines one after the other and note the time taken to build
each of them. 1st pass represents the state after this commit and 2nd
pass represent the state after some regex modifications in the commits
that follow by Steve Howell. All times are in microseconds.
| nth Engine | Old Time | 1st Pass | 2nd Pass |
| ---------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| 1 | 92117.0 | 81775.0 | 76710.0 |
| 2 | 1254.0 | 558.0 | 341.0 |
| 3 | 1170.0 | 472.0 | 305.0 |
| 4 | 1155.0 | 519.0 | 301.0 |
| 5 | 1170.0 | 546.0 | 326.0 |
| 6 | 1271.0 | 609.0 | 416.0 |
| 7 | 1125.0 | 459.0 | 299.0 |
| 8 | 1146.0 | 476.0 | 390.0 |
| 9 | 1274.0 | 446.0 | 301.0 |
| 10 | 1135.0 | 451.0 | 297.0 |
We avoid re-computing the regex string here, and we
also avoid re-compiling the regex itself.
I decided to put the "one_time" decorator in the
bugdown file itself, just to reduce friction in
folks reading the "buyer beware" comments.
Unfortunately, we can't use this for the
get_web_link_regex() function due to testing concerns,
so that continues to do an inelegant cache-with-global-var
scheme.
We use early-exit to flatten the code.
I also tweaked the comments a bit based on some recent
profile findings. (e.g. reading the file isn't actually
a big bottleneck, it's more the regex itself)
