Due to a cyclic dependency issue, functions having models as parameters
were annotated as Any.
That issue is fixed by importing models inside an `if False:` block,
so that mypy sees them but they are not imported at runtime.
In update_user_profile_caches, the return type in annotation was
marked as Any. Change that to None because, nothing is being returned
in that function.
This changes the type annotations for the cache keys in Zulip to be
consistently text_type, and updates the annotations for values that
are used as cache keys across the codebase.
str_utils.py has functions for converting strings from one type to
another. It also has a TypeVar called NonBinaryStr, which is like AnyStr
except that it doesn't allow bytes.
The previous Markdown syntax didn't work correctly on ReadTheDocs, and
now that we have Coveralls reporting backend test coverage as well,
describing our coverage as just "mypy static type" is no longer accurate.
Fixes#964.
Now that we have a working S3 mock and an effective way to toggle the
upload backend that Zulip is using, we can re-enable this important
end-to-end test of the Zulip S3 upload backend.
Previously, uploaded files were served:
* With S3UploadBackend, via get_uploaded_file (redirects to S3)
* With LocalUploadBackend in production, via nginx directly
* With LocalUploadBackend in development, via Django's static file server
This changes that last case to use get_uploaded_file in development,
which is a key step towards being able to do proper access control
authorization.
Does not affect production.
This has no functional changes; we just replace the old hacky
assignment of functions with assignment of the upload backend to a
variable.
I'm not totally happy with this, because we end up having to copy the
type annotations of the three methods 4 times each, but this should
make it a lot easier to test the (non-default-in-tests) S3 backend
using end-to-end tests, which would have caught
13bac1cc2a.
I expect we'll iterate on the interface over time; ideally, I'd like
all the code that checks LOCAL_UPLOADS_DIR to be inside upload.py, and
primarily in these classes.
* The warning contains a count of the number of people in the stream.
* An error appears if the warning is ignored and the user tries to
send the message anyway.
* The message cannot be sent until the warning is acknowledged or @all
/ @everyone is removed.
* This only applies to stream messages and not private messages.
Fixes#853.
Previously, we were checking if a particular user was the current user
in dozens of places in the codebase, and correct case-insensitive
checks were not used consistently, leading to bugs like #502.
