The proximal issue here is that in upcoming commits, we're going to
change the type of the `anchor` field in `get_messages_backend` to
support passing either an integer or a string.
Many of our tests using POSTRequestMock currently define a query
object that uses integer values for the integer fields we're going to
pass into it, e.g. {'num_after': 0}. That is the correct type for
that field in the Zulip API, before HTTP encoding turns it into a
string. However, because POSTRequestMock didn't use HTTP encoding at
all (which will convert the 0 into a '0'), it ended up passing an
integer to a function that can't possible receive one as an argument.
Ideally, we'd just get rid of POSTRequestMock, since it's a hack, and
just do real HTTP requests instead.
But since it's used in a lot of places making doing so somewhat
impractical, we can get past this issue by just making POSTRequestMock
convert integers to strings.
The desktop otp flow (to be added in next commits) will want to generate
one-time tokens for the app that will allow it to obtain an
authenticated session. log_into_subdomain will be the endpoint to pass
the one-time token to. Currently it uses signed data as its input
"tokens", which is not compatible with the otp flow, which requires
simpler (and fixed-length) token. Thus the correct scheme to use is to
store the authenticated data in redis and return a token tied to the
data, which should be passed to the log_into_subdomain endpoint.
In this commit, we replace the "pass signed data around" scheme with the
redis scheme, because there's no point having both.
Model classes fetched through apps.get_model don't get methods or class
attributes. It's not feasible to add them to all these objects in
use_db_models, but Recipient.PERSONAL etc. are worth setting, since
doing that increases the range of functions that can successfully be
imported and called in test_migrations.py.
The test_docs change is because Django runs test cases with DEBUG =
False, which ordinarily means it doesn’t serve /static during tests.

Currently, we only show previews for URLs which are HTML pages, which could
contain other media. We don't show previews for links to non-HTML pages, like
pdf documents or audio/video files. To verify that the URL posted is an HTML
page, we verify the content-type of the page, either using server headers or by
sniffing the content.
Closes#8358
This optimizes test-backend by skipping webhook
tests when run in default mode.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the documentation and update the CI
commands.
For many actions, we make a single call to
send_event, and it's kind of heavy now to
properly assert we made one call, and we
don't need to exercise all the tornado code
to prove that the action was written correctly.
As part of our effort to change the data model away from each user
having a single API key, we're eliminating the couple requests that
were made from Django to Tornado (as part of a /register or home
request) where we used the user's API key grabbed from the database
for authentication.
Instead, we use the (already existing) internal_notify_view
authentication mechanism, which uses the SHARED_SECRET setting for
security, for these requests, and just fetch the user object using
get_user_profile_by_id directly.
Tweaked by Yago to include the new /api/v1/events/internal endpoint in
the exempt_patterns list in test_helpers, since it's an endpoint we call
through Tornado. Also added a couple missing return type annotations.
This module doesn't exist, and never did; the name appears to be a
mistaken variant of the module that really does contain ZulipTestCase.
So, fix the import to use the real name.
This would never have worked at runtime, which is why it's in an
`if False:`. It's also an example of the kind of error that can be
hidden by `ignore_missing_imports`; we'd have caught the issue
immediately if we hadn't had a blanket application of that flag
in place.
Do you call get_recipient(Recipient.STREAM, stream_id) or
get_recipient(stream_id, Recipient.STREAM)? I could never
remember, and it was not very type safe, since both parameters
are integers.
The cookie mechanism only works when passing the login token to a
subdomain. URLs work across domains, which is why they're the
standard transport for SSO on the web. Switch to URLs.
Tweaked by tabbott to add a test for an expired token.
