By default, Django sets up two handlers on this logger, one of them
its AdminEmailHandler. We have our own handler for sending email on
error, and we want to stick to that -- we like the format somewhat
better, and crucially we've given it some rate-limiting through
ZulipLimiter.
Since we cleaned out our logging config in e0a5e6fad, though, we've
been sending error emails through both paths. The config we'd had
before that for `django` was redundant with the config on the root --
but having *a* config there was essential for causing
`logging.config.dictConfig`, when Django passes it our LOGGING dict,
to clear out that logger's previous config. So, give it an empty
config.
Django by default configures two loggers: `django` and
`django.server`. We have our own settings for `django.server`
anyway, so this is the only one we need to add.
The stdlib `logging` and `logging.config` docs aren't 100% clear, and
while the source of `logging` is admirably straightforward the source
of `logging.config` is a little twisty, so it's not easy to become
totally confident that this has the right effect just by reading.
Fortunately we can put some of that source-diving to work in writing
a test for it.
Apparently, this sockjs.tornado logging code resulted in a lot of
buggy error emails whenever a Zulip browser tried to reconnect on a
new IP. I don't see an obvious way to suppress them from within
sockjs, but that might be a good follow-up issue.
Fixes#6959.
The comment is pretty self-explanatory. The fact that Google Compute
Engine has this problem does not impress confidence about their
product, but hopefully this is the only really dumb thing they do.
Fixes#4839.
The original "quality score" was invented purely for populating
our password-strength progress bar, and isn't expressed in terms
that are particularly meaningful. For configuration and the core
accept/reject logic, it's better to use units that are readily
understood. Switch to those.
I considered using "bits of entropy", defined loosely as the log
of this number, but both the zxcvbn paper and the linked CACM
article (which I recommend!) are written in terms of the number
of guesses. And reading (most of) those two papers made me
less happy about referring to "entropy" in our terminology.
I already knew that notion was a little fuzzy if looked at
too closely, and I gained a better appreciation of how it's
contributed to confusion in discussing password policies and
to adoption of perverse policies that favor "Password1!" over
"derived unusual ravioli raft". So, "guesses" it is.
And although the log is handy for some analysis purposes
(certainly for a graph like those in the zxcvbn paper), it adds
a layer of abstraction, and I think makes it harder to think
clearly about attacks, especially in the online setting. So
just use the actual number, and if someone wants to set a
gigantic value, they will have the pleasure of seeing just
how many digits are involved.
(Thanks to @YJDave for a prototype that the code changes in this
commit are based on.)
Create a new custom email backend which would automatically
logs the emails that are send in the dev environment as
well as print a friendly message in console to visit /emails
for accessing all the emails that are sent in dev environment.
Since django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend is no longer
userd emails would not be printed to the console anymore.
It turns out that very little code change is required to support
GitHub auth on mobile. Ideally, this would come with tests, though
the complicated part of the code path is covered by the Google auth
version. But writing a test for this would take a long time, and I
think it's worth having the feature now, so I'll be doing tests as a
follow-up project.
The main change here is moving SOCIAL_AUTH_FIELDS_STORED_IN_SESSION to
be with the other hardcoded settings, since it's not something that
makes sense for a sysadmin to change. But while we're at it, we also
group the overall social auth settings separately from the
GitHub-specific settings.
This isn't something that a user can ever modify, so it doesn't belong
in DEFAULT_SETTINGS. While we're at it, we align the appearance of
the email gateway in the docs with whether this setting in the docs
will be valid.
This will help identify the settings that need attention: either
to remove, or to document for server admins, or to just add a
comment to explain.
Identified with the following shell "one-liner" (one 313-char line
as I originally ran it; indentation added here for clarity):
perl -lne 'next unless (/^DEFAULT_SETTINGS/../\}\)?$/);
next unless (/'\''(.*?)'\''/);
print $1' \
zproject/settings.py \
| while read var; do \
echo -n "$var: "; \
(grep -lw "$var" zproject/{prod_settings_template,{dev,test}_settings}.py \
|| echo none) \
| sed s,zproject/,,g \
| fmt -w1000; \
done
This doesn't yet do much, but it gives us a suitable place to
add code to customize how log messages are displayed, beyond what
a format string passed to the default formatter can do.
This should make it a little easier to understand our logging config
and make changes to it with confidence.
Many of these items that are now redundant used to be required when we
were setting disable_existing_loggers to True (before 500d81bf2), in
order to exempt those loggers from being cleared out. Now they're not.
One bit of test code needed a tweak to how it got its hands on the
AdminZulipHandler instance; it can do it from the list on the root
logger just as well as on the `django` logger.
This was giving a couple of lines of logs on every normal,
successful connection -- clearly a job for DEBUG, but emitted
on INFO. Quiet it down.
Fixes#6674.
The `disable_existing_loggers` option to the `logging.config` module
turns on a rather complicated behavior of disabling some, but not all,
loggers that might have been already configured when the call to
`logging.config.dictConfig` or `logging.config.fileConfig` is made:
> This behaviour is to disable any existing loggers unless they or
> their ancestors are explicitly named in the logging configuration.
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config)
Turns out the only reason this is there is as a compatibility hack to
match the behavior of Python 2.4 and below. See the thread where the
new behavior was introduced: https://bugs.python.org/issue3136
Just as the author of the new behavior explains in that thread from
2008, the legacy behavior forces all logging configuration to be
awkwardly centralized in one place. That makes the code harder to
read, and it perennially causes confusion when a perfectly
normal-looking `logging.getLogger` call at the top level of one module
mysteriously has no effect, while that in another module works fine,
under the influence of the details of what gets imported when.
So, switch to the shiny new behavior of Python 2.5. Here LOGGING is a
Django setting which just becomes an argument to logging.config.dictConfig.
This may cause a few of the logfiles in ZULIP_PATHS to become active
that have been dormant for a long time.
This change means that almost every Zulip server out there will now be
using subdomains for every realm. There are a few complications noted
in the release notes.
This commit implements support for copying over static files
for all bots in the zulip_bots package to
static/generated/bots/ during provisioning. This directory
isn't tracked by Git. This allows us to have access to files
stored in an arbitrary zulip_bots package directory somewhere
on the system. For now, logo.* and doc.md files are copied over.
This commit should act as a starting point for extending our
macro-based Markdown framework to our bots/API packages'
documentation and eventually rendering these static files
alongside our webhooks' documentation.
The motivation for this is that we'll want to use the STATIC_ROOT
variable in this code in the upcoming commits.
While we're at it, we give it a proper section in the file.
