If cordelia searches on pm-with:iago@zulip.com,cordelia@zulip.com,
we now properly treat that the same way as pm-with:iago@zulip.com.
Before this fix, the query would initially go through the
huddle code path. The symptom wasn't completely obvious, as
eventually a deeper function would return a recipient id
corresponding to a single PM with @iago@zulip.com, but we would
only get messages where iago was the recipient, and not any
messages where he was the sender to cordelia.
I put the helper function for this in zerver/lib/addressee, which
is somewhat speculative. Eventually, we'll want pm-with queries
to allow for user ids, and I imagine there will be some shared
logic with other Addressee code in terms of how we handle these
strings. The way we deal with lists of emails/users for various
endpoints is kind of haphazard in the current code, although
granted it's mostly just repeating the same simple patterns. It
would be nice for some of this code to converge a bit. This
affects new messages, typing indicators, search filters, etc.,
and some endpoints have strange legacy stuff like supporting
JSON-encoded lists, so it's not trivial to clean this up.
Tweaked by tabbott to add some additional tests.
Tweaked by tabbott to use a declared constant rather than just use
5000 in multiple places; this also means we can change the count
without updating translations.
Fixes#10446.
The `match_subject` field is supposed to contain HTML; that's how
the highlighting is done. But the `subject` field is plain text --
it must be encoded if we want corresponding HTML.
Of the three places the `match_subject` field is populated -- two
here in messages_in_narrow_backend, one in get_messages_backend --
two of them already do this correctly, via get_search_fields.
Fix the remaining one, where in a `/messages/matches_narrow` query
we populate `matches_subject` even if the query didn't involve a
full-text search.
This doesn't affect the webapp, which ignores `match_subject` unless
it knows it did a full-text search; nor the mobile app, which
doesn't use `/messages/matches_narrow` at all.
Right now it only has one function, but the function
we removed never really belonged in actions.py, and
now we have better test coverage on actions.py, which
is an important module to get to 100%.
This implements a significant performance optimization for users
clicking the `Private messages` narrow in the Zulip UI, especially for
those users who do not have 50 recent private messages in an
organization with a lot of stream message traffic (because then
previously, postgres needed to scan through a huge amount of history
to find enough private messages).
The database index powering it can also support many other queries we
might want to do in the future to support "recent conversations" type
features.
Fixes#6896.
The use_first_unread_anchor parameter allows automatically setting the
anchor to the first message that hasn't been read in this narrow.
Therefore it isn't necessary to specify an anchor when this parameter is
enabled.
Note from Tim: Arguably, we should think about making
`use_first_unread_anchor` the default behavior when anchor is
unspecified, but that's for later consideration.
The only changes visible at the AST level, checked using
https://github.com/asottile/astpretty, are
zerver/lib/test_fixtures.py:
'\x1b\\[(1|0)m' ↦ '\\x1b\\[(1|0)m'
'\\[[X| ]\\] (\\d+_.+)\n' ↦ '\\[[X| ]\\] (\\d+_.+)\\n'
which is fine because re treats '\\x1b' and '\\n' the same way as
'\x1b' and '\n'.

When GETting an unedited message's edit history, the server wasn't able
to reply properly and produced a 500 error.
Now when that happens, we return a message history that only contains
the original message.
Move the zcommands from '/views/messages.py' to
'/lib/zcommand'.
Also, move the zcommand tests from '/tests/test_messages.py'
to '/tests/test_zcommand'.
These two slash commands now use zcommand to talk to
the server, so we have no Message overhead, and if you're
on a stream, you no longer spam people by accident.
The commands now also give reasonable messages
if you are already in the mode you ask for.
It should be noted that by moving these commands out of
widget.py, they are no longer behind the ALLOW_SUB_MESSAGES
setting guard.
This adds a /ping command that will be useful for users
to see what the round trip to the Zulip server is (including
only a tiny bit of actual server time to basically give a
200).
It also introduce the "/zcommand" endpoint and zcommand.js
module.
API users, particularly bots, can now send a field
called "widget_content" that will be turned into
a submessage for the web app to look at. (Other
clients can still rely on "content" to be there,
although it's up to the bot author to make the
experience good for those clients as well.)
Right now widget_content will be a JSON string that
encodes a "zform" widget with "choices." Our first
example will be a trivia bot, where users will see
something like this:
Which fruit is orange in color?
[A] orange
[B] blackberry
[C] strawberry
The letters will be turned into buttons on the webapp
and have canned replies.
This commit has a few parts:
- receive widget_content in the request (simply
validating that it's a string)
- parse the JSON in check_message and deeply
validate its structure
- turn it into a submessage in widget.py
Add realm setting to set time limit for message deleitng.
Set default value of message_content_delete_limit_seconds
to 600 seconds(10 min).
Thanks to Shubham Dhama for rebasing and reworking this. Some final
edits also done by Tim Abbott.
Fixes#7344.
For certain queries where both include_history and
use_first_unread_anchor are set to True, we were excluding
historical rows. Now we only use the use_first_unread_anchor
flag to filter rows that we use to find the anchor, without
having it filter the actual search results.
The bug went unreported for a long time, because it only
affected mobile users who had newly subscribed to streams.
Note that we make a small change to the test called
test_use_first_unread_anchor_with_muted_topics, which has
a very scary comment about being "arcane" and "be
absolutely sure you know what you're doing." I think it's
fine.
Also, the new test code would fail before this fix, so it
should help prevent future regressions.
Fixes#8958
This is a bit more than a pure refactor, because we duplicate a
chunk of code to calculate a query inside of
find_first_unread_anchor(), so we're doing a bit more work
than before.
We need this refactoring to start decoupling find_first_unread_anchor
from get_messages_backend for the case where include_history is
True. This will happen in a subsequent commit.
The only test that changes here is a direct test on
find_first_unread_anchor(). All other tests pass without
modification, and we have decent coverage on get_messages_backend.
We use an array now to build up the list of search operands and
then consolidate the special search handling after the loop (which
means setting the flag, putting two more columns in the query, and
using ' '.join to build the string).
We have a debugging statement for some obscure errors we get
when narrows have search terms. We now show all the narrow
operators. This isn't really to improve debugging; it's more
to make it easier in the next commit to extract a function
that would make search_term have to be passed back in a tuple.
But it shouldn't hurt debugging either.
This is a pure refactoring and just pulls the function out
to the top level of the module. (The prior commit extracted
it inside a larger function to make a nicer diff.)
The new name can_access_stream_history_by_name gets to the point of
what this function actually does. And passing in a user object lets
us define what this does based on the user subscribed.
Applies the logic to allow community members to edit topics
of others' messages if this setting is True. Otherwise,
only administrators can update the topic of others' messages.
This logic includes a 24-hour time limit for community topic editing.
We now consistently set our query limits so that we get at
least `num_after` rows such that id > anchor. (Obviously, the
caveat is that if there aren't enough rows that fulfill the
query, we'll return the full set of rows, but that may be less
than `num_after`.) Likewise for `num_before`.
Before this change, we would sometimes return one too few rows
for narrow queries.
Now, we're still a bit broken, but in a more consistent way. If
we have a query that does not match the anchor row (which could
be true even for a non-narrow query), but which does match lots
of rows after the anchor, we'll return `num_after + 1` rows
on the right hand side, whether or not the query has narrow
parameters.
The off-by-one semantics here have probably been moot all along,
since our windows are approximate to begin with. If we set
num_after to 100, its just a rough performance optimization to
begin with, so it doesn't matter whether we return 99 or 101 rows,
as long as we set the anchor correctly on the subsequent query.
We will make the results more rigorous in a follow up commit.
This generic function isolates the before/after logic that really
is independent of Message and doesn't need to clutter up
`get_messages_backend`. Also, introducing a new namespace
reduces some shadowing/mutation with variables like `query`.
It's a pure code move, with some very minor renaming (e.g.
inner_msg_id_col -> id_col).
If anchor is 0, there is no sense doing a before_query.
Likewise, if anchor is `LARGER_THAN_MAX_MESSAGE_ID`, there is
no sense doing an after_query.
We introduce variables called `need_before_query` and
`need_after_query` to enforce those conditions.
This also adds some comments explaining the fallthrough case
where neither query makes sense.
If use_first_unread_anchor is set and we don't have any unread
messages, then our anchor is effectively "positive infinity" and
we can streamline queries.
In the past we'd have clauses like `message_id <= 999999999999999`
in the query that were harmless but crufty.
We want to say `if num_after > 0` when we expect num_after to be
a positive integer. We don't want any confusion that we will
execute the blocks for values of -7 or None.
This may be helpful for some API clients, since it avoids them needed
to do somewhat messy post-processing on the results (the data was
always available via scanning for the first unread message in the result).
