While the result of this change doesn't completely do what we need, it
does remove a huge amount of duplicated lists of fields. With a bit
more similar work, we should be able to eliminate a broad category of
potential bugs involving Stream and Subscription objects being
represented inconsistently in the API.
Work towards #13787.
This has the side of effect of making new fields we add to Stream be
automatically included, which will help maintain this code as we
upgrade it.
This commit adds is_web_public, history_public_to_subscribers, and
email_notifications fields to the dictionary.
Tests require adjusting, because the class-based view has an additional
redirect - through /uid/set-password/ and the token is read from the
session. See Django code of PasswordResetConfirmView.
The `notification_settings_null` field of the `client_capabilities`
parameter is, apparently unintentionally, required.
This is mostly harmless. However, if any _future_ fields are made
required, all existing clients using this parameter will break, and it
will be needlessly difficult for new clients to specify new
capabilities in a backwards-compatible way.
Attempt to stave that possibility off with warnings.
(No functional changes.)
This modifies get_cross_realm_dicts in zerver.lib.users to call
format_user_row. This is done to remove current and prevent future
inconsistencies between in the dictionary formats for get_raw_user_data
and get_cross_realm_dicts.
Implementation substantially rewritten by tabbott.
Fixes#13638.
This moves get_cross_realm_dicts (from zerver.lib.actions),
get_raw_user_data and get_custom_profile_field_values (from
zerver.lib.events) to zerver.lib.users.
Only the getter of the is_new_member property is added,
to the UserProfile class. This is done to deduplicate
action of checking whether a user is a new member or not.
This extracts the user_data inner function from get_raw_user_data as a
reusable function. We intend to reuse it for cross-realm user dicts.
A few changes were made while extracting it:
* Renaming the UserProfile argument to acting_user, so we can do loops
over a local user_profile variable.
* Moved it to zerver.lib.users, as that's a more appropriate home for
this function formatting data on users.
* Simplified the calling convention for passing custom profile fields
to reflect the fact that this function processes a single user (and
is expected to be called in a loop).
"Zulip Voyager" was a name invented during the Hack Week to open
source Zulip for what a single-system Zulip server might be called, as
a Star Trek pun on the code it was based on, "Zulip Enterprise".
At the time, we just needed a name quickly, but it was never a good
name, just a placeholder. This removes that placeholder name from
much of the codebase. A bit more work will be required to transition
the `zulip::voyager` Puppet class, as that has some migration work
involved.
These docstrings hadn't been properly updated in years, and bad an
awkward mix of a bad version of the user-facing documentation and
details that are no longer true (e.g. references to "Voyager").
(One important detail is that we have real documentation for this
system now).
Closes#13736.
zerver.lib.server_initialization.create_internal has precisely the same
code (you can copy-and-paste swap them, with one level of indentation
adjustment, without generating any diff) so they can be trivially
deduplicated.
zerver.lib.server_initialization.create_users has precisely the same
code (you can copy-and-paste swap them without generating any diff) so
they can be trivially deduplicated.
This doesn't change any behavior, the purpose of this is to make the
function identical to what we have in server_initialization.py so that
it can be deduplicated in follow-up commits.
In addition to making our schema check stricter, it also makes it
possible for us to extend check_events_dict to do additional
validation that's only expected for the full event object.
Now that we have the type situation of having anchor support passing a
string, this is a much more natural way to implement
use_first_unread_anchor.
We still support the old interface to avoid breaking compatibility
with legacy versions of the mobile apps.
A wart that has long been present inin Zulip's get_messages API is how
to request "the latest messages" in the API. Previously, the
recommendation was basically to pass anchor=10000000000000000 (for an
appropriately huge number). An accident of the server's implementation
meant that specific number of 0s was actually important to avoid a
buggy (or at least wasteful) value of found_newest=False if the query
had specified num_after=0 (since we didn't check).
This was the cause of the mobile issue
https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/issues/3654.
The solution is to allow passing a special value of anchor='newest',
basically a special string-type value that the server can interpret as
meaning the user precisely just wants the most recent messages. We
also add an analogous anchor='oldest' or similar to avoid folks
needing to write a somewhat ugly anchor=0 for fetching the very first
messages.
We may want to also replace the use_first_unread_anchor argument to be
a "first_unread" value for the anchor parameter.
While it's not always ideal to make a value have a variable type like
this, in this case it seems like a really clean way to express the
idea of what the user is asking for in the API.
This fixes a bug where that clients using the legacy approach of a
"very large anchor" value with the intent to only get the most recent
messages would only get found_newest=True if they used the specific
value LARGER_THAN_MAX_MESSAGE_ID. Now any value at least that large
will work.
In upcoming commits, we plan to replace this with passing the string
"last", but it seems worth removing the buggy "special value" behavior
while we're touching this code.
This is required for the upcoming type behavior of the "anchor"
parameter.
This change is the minimal work required to have our OpenAPI code not
fail when checking a union-type value of this form. We'll likely want
to, in the future, do something nicer, but it'd require more extensive
infrastructure for parsing of OpenAPI data that it's worth with our
current approach (we may want to switch to using a library).
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.
Using logging.info() rather than logger.info() meant that our
zulip.soft_deactivation logger configuration (which, in particular,
included not logging to the console) was not active on this log line,
resulting in the `manage.py soft_deactivate_users` cron job sending
emails every time it ran.
Fixes#13750.
In Django 2.0, request.user.is_authenticated stops supporting
`.is_authenticated()` and becomes just a property. In 1.11, it's a
CallableProperty (i.e. can be used either way), and we already use it
as a property in several other places, so we should just switch to
using it consistently now to get it off of our Django 2.x migration
checklist.
Previously, we didn't track opening and closing fences separately,
with led to bugs like not parsing a list that was immediately after
a quoted fence; we treated each ``` as a new fence.
This commit rewrites the function to maintain a stack of currently
open fences. If any of the parent fences is a code fence, we do not
insert a new line before a list.
We also add some test cases specifically to test this behavior with
complexly nested lists.
Fixes#13745.
Adding invited users to the notifications stream unconditionally isn't
a correct behaviour for guest users, where the previous behavior of
including the notifications stream no longer makes sense. Therefore,
while inviting a new user, the notifications stream is listed along
with other streams with a message "recieves notifications for new
streams" in order to distinguish it from other streams.
Fixes#13645.
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.
This extracts a function for computing show_invites and
show_add_streams, for better readability and testability.
This commit was substantially cleaned up by tabbott.
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
authenticate_remote_user already takes care of calling the authenticate
with the dummy backend. Also, return_data is not used and catching
DoesNotExist exception is not needed, as the dummy backend just returns
None if user isn't found.
In other places where we set request._email, we set it to the
delivery_email, as that's more informative in orgs with hidden email
settings, where user.email will be useless.
This updates our error handling of invalid Slack API tokens (and other
networking error handling) to mostly make sense:
* A token that doesn't start with `xoxp-` gives an extended error early.
* An AssertionError for the codebase is correctly declared as such.
* We check for token shape errors before querying the Slack API.
We could still do useful work to raise custom exception classes here.
Thanks to @stavrospat for raising this issue.
responses is an module analogous to httpretty for mocking external
URLs, with a very similar interface (potentially cleaner in that it
makes use of context managers).
The most important (in the moment) problem with httpretty is that it
breaks the ability to use redis in parts of code where httpretty is
enabled. From more research, the module in general has tendency to
have various troublesome bugs with breaking URLs that it shouldn't be
affecting, caused by it working at the socket interface layer. While
those issues could be fixed, responses seems to be less buggy (based
on both third-party reports like ckan/ckan#4755 and our own experience
in removing workarounds for bugs in httpretty) and is more actively
maintained.
If an email is sent with the .prefer-html option, but it has no html
body, it's better to fall back to plaintext content instead of treating
it as a user error.
Closes#13484.
These options tell zulip whether to prefer the plaintext or html version
of the email message. prefer-text is the default behavior, so including
the option doesn't change anything as of now, but we're adding it to
prepare to potentially change the default behavior in the future.
As we add more address options, which will have different behavior than
simply setting option_name=True, we need to migrate this subsystem to
something that better supports more complex logic and will allow
encapsulating it, instead of needing to be put all over the
decode_email_address function.
This essentially unused legacy variable was causing Zulip to query the
database at import time, which is generally not something we aim to
do.
Combined with the issue fixed in the previous commit, this variable
resulted in test-backend providing an unhelpful crash when provision
hadn't updated the unit testing database.
Since the intent of our testing code was clearly to clear this cache
for every test, there's no reason for it to be a module-level global.
This allows us to remove an unnecessary import from test_runner.py,
which in combination with DEFAULT_REALM's definition was causing us to
run models code before running migrations inside test-backend.
(That bug, in turn, caused test-backend's check for whether migrations
needs to be run to happen sadly after trying to access a Realm,
trigger a test-backend crash if the Realm model had changed since the
last provision).
Due to a known but unfixed bug in the Python standard library’s
urllib.parse module (CVE-2015-2104), a crafted URL could bypass the
validation in the previous patch and still achieve an open redirect.

Switch to using django.utils.http.is_safe_url, which already contains
a workaround for this bug.

It's theoretically possible to have configured a Zulip server where
the system bots live in the same realm as normal users (and may have
in fact been the default in early Zulip releases? Unclear.). We
should handle these without the migration intended to clean up naming
for the system bot realm crashing.
Fixes#13660.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

Fixes#13416
We used to search only one level in depth through the MIME structure,
and thus would miss attachments that were nested deeper (which can
happen with some email clients). We can take advantage of message.walk()
to iterate through each MIME part.
return in that loop was a bug, which would lead to the To: header not
being set even though data['recipient'] = str(message['To']) is being
run next, thus requiring the header. We can remove the return
statement and now the loop will overwrite all the potentially
troublesome headers.
This is a preparatory commit for using isort for sorting all of our
imports, merging changes to files where we can easily review the
changes as something we're happy with.
These are also files with relatively little active development, which
means we don't expect much merge conflict risk from these changes.
Previously, if you tried to invite a user whose account had been
deactivated, we didn't provide a clear path forward for reactivating
the users, which was confusing.
We fix this by plumbing through to the frontend the information that
there is an existing user account with that email address in this
organization, but that it's deactivated. For administrators, we
provide a link for how to reactivate the user.
Fixes#8144.
Our recent fixes to using the system's configured memcached settings
broke populate_db, because its hacky clear_database helper is called
with a hacked-up settings module.
We fix this by first moving this out-of-place code from models.py into
populate_db, and then saving the settings required to access memcached
so that we can use them in clear_database.
We also fix a mypy erorr in flush-memcached that matches the same
issue fixed in clear_database.
This experimental setting disables sending private messages in Zulip
in a crude way (i.e. users get an error when they try to send one).
It makes no effort to adjust the UI to avoid advertising the idea of
sending private messages.
Fixes#6617.
We should take adventage of the recipient field being denormalized into
the Stream model. We don't need to make queries to figure out a stream's
recipient id, so we take advantage of that to eliminate some of
those redundant queries and simplify StreamRecipientMap.
This removes zerver/webhooks/trello/view/exceptions.py, which
contained legacy Trello webhook exception related classes. We replace
them with UnexpectedWebhookEventType, which results in our standard
exception handling for unknown event types running (avoiding too-high
priority error logging).
Fixes#13467.
This improves the approach of creating multiple parallel processes by
using subprocess.Popen() instead of run_parallel() and
subprocess.call() while exporting an organization's message
history. This prevents forking twice for individual subprocess.
While this has some performance benefit, the main reason to fix this
is that it fixes an issue with the data export web UI introduced in
run_parallel forks exited).
Fixes#12904.
process_missed_message did nothing other than calling
send_to_missed_message_address with the same arguments, so there's no
reason to have these as separate functions.
