It doesn't make sense to run sync_ldap_user_data if user_profiles list
is empty. Otherwise this misleading exception gets raised:
```
raise Exception(
"LDAP sync would have deactivated all users. This is most likely due "
"to a misconfiguration of LDAP settings. Rolling back...\n"
"Use the --force option if the mass deactivation is intended."
)
```
With some work by tabbott to manage the type of user_profiles and
provide a special error message for the empty server case.
This commit solves the bug which keeps the announce stream checkbox checked
for non-admin users when users are only allowed to create private streams
and not public streams.
The desired behavior is to not allow users to announce private streams, so
we keep the checkbox unchecked and disabled.
This commit fixes the above mentioned bug by removing the if-else block which
was executed after update_announce_stream_state (the function which handles
updating the checkbox considering if the realm has notifications stream or
not and whether the stream being created is public or private) and only checks
whether the realm has notification stream or not to show or hide the announce
stream checkbox irrespective of privacy of the stream being created.
This commit also fixes the handler to update the checkbox state on changing
privacy to update the checkbox state only on changing privacy value and not
on toggling the checkbox itself or changing post policy.
Fixes#21705.
The relevant function is waiting to be merged in #21299 - but we have
already used it on Zulip Cloud, creating RealmAuditLog entries with the
number 107 and thus should reserve it before another PR takes
it for another purpose, creating confusion in the logs.
Based on an audit, this closes out the last core instances in which
acting_user was not being passed explicitly when creating
RealmAuditLog instances.
There are some outstanding issues in the billing system, which we plan
to extract as a separate issue.
Fixes#14808.
This comment was _originally_ for the `default` memcached cache, back
when it was added all of the way back in 0a84d7ac62. 9e64750083
made it a lie, and edc718951c made it even more confusing when it
removed the `default` cache configuration block, leaving the wrong
comment next to the wrong cache configuration block.
Banish the comment.
The only purpose of this seems to be to not have to reset the cache;
fae59502ab added it without any explanation for why it is necessary.
Remove it, and explicitly flush the cache in the one place where it is
necessary.
This cache was added in da33b72848 to serve as a replacement for the
durable database cache, in development; the previous commit has
switched that to be the non-durable memcached backend.
The special-case for "in-memory" in development is mostly-unnecessary
in contrast to memcached -- `./tools/run-dev.py` flushes memcached on
every startup. This differs in behaviour slightly, in that if the
codepath is changed and `run-dev` restarts Django, the cache is not
cleared. This seems an unlikely occurrence, however, and the code
cleanup from its removal is worth it.
The choice to cache these in the database dates back to c93f1d4eda,
with the comment added in da33b72848 while working around the
durability of the "database" cache in local development.
The values were stored in a durable cache, as they needed to be
ensured to persist between when they were inserted in
`get_link_embed_data` and when they were used in
`render_incoming_message` via `link_embed_data_from_cache`.
However, database accesses are not fast compared to memcached, and we
wish to avoid the overhead of the database connection from the
`embed_links` worker. Specifically, making the connection may not be
thread-safe -- and in low-memory (and Docker) configurations, all
workers run as separate threads in a single process. This can lead to
stalled database connections in `embed_links` workers, and failed
previews.
Since the previous commit made the durability of the cache no longer
necessary, this will have minimal effect; at worst, posting the same
URL twice, on either side of an upgrade, will result in two preview
fetches of it.
The `get_link_embed_data` / `link_embed_data_from_cache` pair as
introduced in c93f1d4eda uses the cache
as a temporary store inside of the `embed_links` worker; this means
that it must be durable storage, or the worker will stall and re-fetch
the same links to preview them.
Switch to plumbing through the fetched URL embed data as an parameter
to the Markdown evaluation which uses them, rather than using the
cache as an intermediary. This frees up the cache to be merely a
non-durable cache.
As a side-effect, this removes get_cache_with_key, and
link_embed_data_from_cache which was its only callsite.
76deb30312 changed this to not just be the URL, but rather a
prefixed hash of the URL, but failed to update this location which
wrote to it. This meant that this pre-population step was writing to
the wrong keys in the durable cache, and thus ineffective.
Then, da33b72848 switched the cache to be in-memory, making this
write to the wrong keys in an in-process memory store. There is no
way to pre-fill this sort of cache, except at server start-up.
Finally, and most fundamentally, 8c0c9ca7a4 then disabled
`inline_url_embed_preview` by default, making the code entirely moot.
Remove the triply-unnecessary code.
