Webpack dev server by default does host checking for requests. so
in dev enviorment if the the request came for zulipdev.com it would not
send js files which caused dev envoirment to not work.
For now, this does nothing in a production environment, but it should
simplify the process of doing testing on the Thumbor implementation,
by integrating a lot of dependency management logic.
This reverts commit 66261f1cc. See parent commit for reason; here,
provision worked but `tools/run-dev.py` would give errors.
We need to figure out a test that reproduces these issues, then make a
version of these changes that keeps that test working, before we
re-merge them.
This method was new in Tornado 4.0. It saves us from having to get
the time ourselves and do the arithmetic -- which not only makes the
code a bit shorter, but also easier to get right. Tornado docs (see
http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ioloop.html) say we should have
been getting the time from `ioloop.time()` rather than hardcoding
`time.time()`, because the loop could e.g. be running on the
`time.monotonic()` clock.
Tweaked by tabbott to not remove it from lister.py, linter_lib, and
friends, since those are intended to support both Python 2 and 3
(we're planning to extract them from the repository).
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.
This allow the webbpack dev server to properly reload JavaScript modules
while running in dev without restarting the server. We need to connect
to webpack-dev-server directly because SockJS doesn't support more than
one connection on the same host/port.
This hack saved a lot of time debugging weird issues back in 2016, but
it's no longer needed.
Anyone rebasing a branch from 2016 will need to provision afterwards
regardless, which will fix this issue automatically, and more
importantly, these changes were made obsolete when we moved to the
cached `node_modules` model.
This fixes an issue where if you saved a Python file (even just
changing whitespace) while casper tests were running, the Tornado
server being used would restart, triggering a confusing error like
this:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $
Traceback:
undefined:2
:4
Suite explicitly interrupted without any message given.
This helps make the Zulip development environment somewhat more robust
to new contributors, since it will give them a nice warning if they
try running any of our development tools outside the Zulip virtualenv.
Fixes#3468.
- Add pid file of development processes group, which allows to
manage development processes group with os utils. Also it allows to
kill subprocesses when parent process was closed incorrectly.
- Add tool 'stop_dev_server' to stop development server by pid file.
Fixes#1547
Previously, we got the following as a part of the output when running
`tools/run-dev.py` without provisioning:
It looks like you checked out a branch that has added
dependencies beyond what you last provisioned. Your tests
are likely to fail until you add dependencies by provisioning.
which is a bit confusing.
- Add rewriting 'X-REAL-IP' header for each request through dev
proxy server.
- Change webpack configuration ip to 0.0.0.0 to fix socket.io build
for launching remote dev server.
When we migrated run-dev.py from Twisted to Tornado a few weeks ago,
the --interface argument wasn't properly ported and thus was ignored.
This restores the original functionality of defaulting to only
listening on localhost.
Ideally, we'd replace the vagrant/zulipdev user check with something
that just checks whether a special file that is created by the
Vagrant/remote-dev-vm creation process exists; that would be more
robust.
(Why is -u needed at all? I’m not sure, but test-run-dev spins forever
“Polling run-dev...” without it.)

- Use tornado as proxy server for development environment,
replacing twisted (this doesn't support websockets).
- Upgrade tornado version to 4.4.1 (needs to be coupled to the
above since neither change works without the other)
- All necessary strings was converted to bytestring
- Added twisted as py3 dependency
- Change type annotation for method getchild of class Resource
- Remove activating python2 env section from run-dev.py script
Fixes#1256
The new messages make it more obvious which services are started
from run-dev.py, and explicitly call out where to access the web
proxy to reach the Zulip web UI. This is a common confusion for
new administrators/developers. Messages are output before the
processes are launched, as run-dev.py does not currently have a
way to know if they started successfully.
Example output:
Starting Zulip services on ports: web proxy: 9991, Django: 9992, Tornado: 9993, webpack: 9994
Note: only port 9991 is exposed to the host in a Vagrant environment.
Alternate behavior for automated testing:
If run-dev.py is invoked with --test, don't include the webpack
port as it isn't used.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, by running run-dev.py at a shell prompt and
via the test-all script.
Fixes#1861
Clear memcached when tools/run-dev.py is run. This prevents
errors on using a different python version because values are
pickled before being stored in memcached and different python
versions implement pickling differently.
Also provide a command-line option --no-clear-mc to prevent
memcached from being cleared.
runtornado unbuffers its output using
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0).
This is not python 3 compatible since we can't specify
buffering on a text stream in python 3. So use the '-u'
option of python when calling runtornado.py to make output
unbuffered.
This works around a nasty problem with Webpack that you can't run two
copies of the Webpack development server on the same project at the
same time (even if on different ports). The second copy doesn't fail,
it just hangs waiting for some lock, which is confusing; but even if
that were to be solved, we don't actually need the webpack development
server running to run the Casper tests; we just need bundle.js built.
So the easy solution is to just run webpack manually and be sure to
include bundle.js in the JS_SPECS entry.
As a follow-up to this change, we should clean up how test_settings.py
is implemented to not require duplicating code from settings.py.
Fixes#878.
manage_args is set to a list of arguments a few lines later in the
function, making this initialization as the empty string useless and
confusing.
Discovered using mypy.
Django's `manage.py runserver` prints a relatively low-information log
line for every request of the form:
[14/Dec/2015 00:43:06]"GET /static/js/message_list.js HTTP/1.0" 200 21969
This is pretty spammy, especially given that we already have our own
middleware printing a more detailed version of the same log lines:
2015-12-14 00:43:06,935 INFO 127.0.0.1 GET 200 0ms /static/js/message_list.js (unauth via ?)
Since runserver doesn't have support controlling whether these log
lines are printed, we wrap it with a small bit of code that silences
the log lines for 200/304 requests (aka the uninteresting ones).
The old language was confusing because "the interface" could refer to something
like eth0, but in actuality refers to the IP/hostname to listen on.

Importing zerver.worker.queue_processors (which is needed to get the list of
workers to start) is slow because it, in turn, imports a bunch of stuff. So we
move the process of starting up queue processing workers into another script
that gets started in parallel with everything else.

Have run-dev.py watch for template changes by calling
`./tools/compile-handlebars-templates forever`. This doesn't
have much effect until the subsequent commit, but it does

One known limitation is that we don't clean up sessions for
non-websockets transports. This is a bug in Tornado so I'm going to
