We were already correctly including libssl-dev in Zulip's dependencies
in development environment provisioning, but (at least now) it's
needed to build certain Python packages like pycurl when building a
Zulip virtualenv in production. I haven't investigated why we didn't
need this on Ubuntu, but one possible reason would be that some other
library in our dependencies list happens to depend on it on Ubuntu.
We fix this by moving the dependency over to the shared
VENV_DEPENDENCIES list.
Fixes part of #9946.
This results in a significant optimization in the performance of
re-provisioning Zulip if all that you're doing is rebasing onto a
newer version of master (which just adds new migrations).
The change carries some risk of generating unpleasant-to-debug
situations, because if we merge a buggy migration and then later fix
it, some clients may not have a properly migrated database (and also,
this changes how populate_db commutes with migrations). But it seems
worth it, given how much time is currently wasted by not having this.
Fixes: #9512.
In this commit we are essentially just refactoring the function
is_template_database_current to be called template_database_status
and adjusting the return values accordingly.
This is essentially a preparatory commit for the upcoming commits
which will essentially enable us to not throw away entire DB and
rebuild from scratch if only running migrations could do the job.
This improves the performance of these operations, by saving a ~50ms
Python process startup. While not a major performance improvement, it
seems worth it, given how often these commands get run.
Fixes#9571.
We essentially stop running create_realm_internal_bots during
every provisioing and move its operations to run from populate db.
In fact to speed things up a bit we actually make populate db call the
funcs which create_realm_internal_bots calls behind the scenes.
Fixes: #9467.
Now that we have tsearch_extras packages uploaded, this mostly works.
There's a few issues being debugged in #9460; they should be fixed
soon, and regardless, merging this will make it easier to develop.
Apparently, we were incorrectly appending each new hash onto the end
of the file, basically resulting in every run of provision being
treated as a miss for this cache.
Fixing this saves about 4s (over 1/3) of the no-op provision time.
This fixes a bug where provision was failing since our most recent
upgrade to yarn/nvm/node.
It turns out my original fix was the correct fix, but to the wrong
third-party tool: nvm, not yarn, was the offender.
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 isn't really the right way to do this -- commit
dcd80e665 "travis/setup-backend: Remove the '--travis' flag"
took us in the wrong direction by introducing more magic, deeper in
the stack.
But it's the same way we do it for Travis. For now, just copy that.
[Thanks to hackerkid for cleaning up my original crude hack.]
At this point if we were accidentally using `/srv/zulip-venv` for
anything, we'd have run into it by now. So just drop the bit of
historical logic that we had to ensure that.
This prevents the caches in /srv from growing to fill up the disk --
e.g., on my laptop after 6 months of regular development the venv cache
was 12G and the NPM cache 5G, making them by far the largest disk hogs
on the machine.
It costs about 0.4s, apart from any time spent actually removing
things. This is a little annoyingly slow to be adding to every
provision, and seems like it could be optimized, but I think already
worth it as is.
This should mean that maintaining two Zulip development environments
using the same Git checkout no longer has caching problems keeping
track of the migration status.
This didn't work at all when one did a `vagrant destroy` and then
`vagrant up`, because the cache state would be preserved even though
the machine is gone.
Fixes#5981.
