Investigation into #12876, a mysterious bug where users were seeing
messages reappear as unread, determined that the root cause was
missing headers to disable client-side caching for Zulip's REST API
endpoints.
This manifested, in particular, for `GET /messages`, which is
essentially the only API GET endpoint used by the webapp at all. When
using the `Ctrl+Shift+T` feature of browsers to restore a recently
closed tab (and potentially other code paths), the browser would
return from its disk cache a cached copy of the GET /messages results.
Because we include message flags on messages fetched from the server,
this in particular meant that those tabs would get a stale version of
the unread flag for the batches of the most recent ~1200 messages that
Zulip fetches upon opening a new browser tab.
The issue took same care to reproduce as well, in large part because
the arguments to those initial GET /messages requests will vary as one
reads messages (because the `pointer` moves forward) and then enters
the "All messages" view; the disk cache is only used for GET requests
with the exact same URL parameters.
We will probably still want to merge the events error-handling changes
we had previously proposed for this, but the conclusion of this being
a straightforward case of missing cache-control headers is much more
satisfying than the "badly behaving Chrome" theory discussed in the
issue thread.
Fixes#12876.
Django’s default FileSystemFinder disallows STATICFILES_DIRS from
containing STATIC_ROOT (by raising an ImproperlyConfigured exception),
because STATIC_ROOT is supposed to be the result of collecting all the
static files in the project, not one of the potentially many sources
of static files.

In the rare case that Zulip receives an email with only an HTML
format, we originally (code dating to 2013) shelled out to
html2markdown/python-html2text in order to convert the HTML into
markdown.
We long since added html2text as a reasonably managed Python
dependency of Zulip; we should just use it here.
This change serves to declutter webhook-errors.log, which is
filled with too many UnexpectedWebhookEventType exceptions.
Keeping UnexpectedWebhookEventType in zerver/lib/webhooks/common.py
led to a cyclic import when we tried to import the exception in
zerver/decorators.py, so this commit also moves this exception to
another appropriate module. Note that our webhooks still import
this exception via zerver/lib/webhooks/common.py.
Changed the requirements for UserProfile in order to allow use of
the formataddr function in send_mail.py.
Converted send_email to use formataddr in conjunction with the commit
that strengthened requirements for full_name, such that they can now be
used in the to field of emails.
Fixes#4676.
This changes the requirements for UserProfile to disallow some
additional characters, with the overall goal of being able to use
formataddr in send_mail.py.
We don't need to be particularly careful in the database migration,
because user full_names are not required to be unique.
We were seeing errors when pubishing typical events in the form of
`Dict[str, Any]` as the expected type to be a `Union`. So we instead
change the only non-dictionary call, to pass a dict instead of `str`.
Per the import line:
`from unittest import loader, runner # type: ignore # Mypy cannot pick
these up.`
Because `TextTestResult` inherits from `runner.TextTestResult`, mypy
doesn't see `self` as having an attribute `stream`, so we ignore these
instead of cluttering with `casts` or `isinstances`.
Apparently, a subtle mismatch between the filename/URL formats for our
upload codebases meant that importing Slack avatars into systems using
S3_UPLOAD_BACKEND would end up with the avatars having the wrong URLs.
In commit 7c71e98, we added a special exception for the
/users/me/subscriptions endpoint in the automatic validation test.
By adding some extra documentation, we now remove this extra code,
as well as the endpoint from the list of pending endpoints.
The previous iteration did not properly handle languages with a
different word order than English.
Discovered via warning output in `manage.py makemessages`.
If a url doesn't have a scheme, browsers would treat it as a relative
url and open something like: https://chat.zulip.org/google.com instead.
This PR fixes the issue on the backend; the frontend implementation
remains out of sync and the user sending the message wouldn't see
any linkification for urls without a scheme.
Fixes#12791.
The test_docs change is because Django runs test cases with DEBUG =
False, which ordinarily means it doesn’t serve /static during tests.

There’s no reason to monkey-patch something that we were already
subclassing.
Removing the PRODUCTION conditional causes us to generate
staticfiles.json in the right place to begin with so we don’t need to
move it later. It also allows Django to find staticfiles.json if
running the dev server with PIPELINE_ENABLED.

This fixes a user-visible bug, where users signing up for realms with
restricted email visibility get reminder emails 1 week later, whether or not
they created an account.
Making sender name go in-line with message body only if
the html starts with <p> tag since it won't look good
if the message starts with a code snippet, ul, etc.
If message starts with p tag we can safely assume that
it can go in-line with sender name.
It was discovered that errors such as:
`OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy`
potentially arise when running in serial mode, or with
explicit test cases passed to `test-backend`.
In the unlikely event that someone edited the properties of a system
bot and then saved the result, we were still caching the old version
indefinitely in the get_system_bot cache.
This led to a confusing case where a newly installed Zulip server
didn't have is_api_super_user properly set on its EMAIL_GATEWAY_BOT in
memcached.

Previously we sent "" for stream_name where we should have sent None, which
made this function harder to understand. The "" value was never used.
This also reorders the arguments to be match the order of the arguments in
the two callers.
This commit adds a new setting to the user's notification settings that
will change the behaviour of the unread count in the title bar and
desktop application.
When enabled, the title bar will show the count of unread private messages
and mentions. When disabled, the title bar will act as before, showing
the total number of unread messages.
Fixes#1736.
Modified by punchagan to:
* Replace URLs with titles only if the inline url embed previews are turned on
* Add a test for youtube titles replacing URLs
The titles for the videos are fetched asynchronously after the message has been
sent via the code that fetches metadata for open graph previews. So, the URLs
are replaced with titles only if the inline embed url previews feature is
enabled.
Ideally, YouTube previews should be shown only if inline url previews are
enabled, but this feature is in beta, while YouTube previews are pretty stable.
Once this feature is out of beta, YouTube previews should be shown only if the
url previews feature is turned on.
YouTube preview image is calculated as soon as the message is sent, while the
title needs to be fetched using a network request. This means that the URL is
replaced only after the data has been fetched from the request, and happens a
couple of seconds after the message has been rendered.
Closes#7549
Messages with links embedded in blockquotes turn out to be replies to
messages with links, more often than not. Showing previews for links in
replies seems like clutter, and it seems reasonable to turn off previews for
such links.
We create a path structure in the from:
`/var/<uuid>/test-backend/run_1234567/worker_N/`
A settings attribute, `TEST_WORKER_DIR`, was created as a worker's
directory for a given `test-backend` run's file storage. The
appropirate path is created in `setup_test_environment`, while each
workers subdirectory is created within `init_worker`.
This allows a test class to write to `settings.TEST_WORKER_DIR`,
populating the appropirate directory of a given worker. Also
providing the long-term approach to clean up filesystem access
in the backend unit tests.
This will make it easier to have access to the stream creator.
The indirection also isn't really adding anything, especially given that the
announce message is inlined just above.
Modified by punchagan to:
* Add a separate markdown test for de-duplicating inline previews
* Check for number of unique URLs to see if per limit message is crossed
* Use a set for processed URLs instead of a list
Fixes#8379.
The previous code for the validator test was fairly messy due to
checking for both formats of the openapi url, one with
<variable_name> and the other with {variable_name}. To eliminate
this, we have standardized the format and restricted it to
{variable_name} as per the official format at:
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/describing-parameters.
Add new custom profile field type, External account.
External account field links user's social media
profile with account. e.g. GitHub, Twitter, etc.

We can simply archive cross-realm personal messages according to the
retention policy of the recipient's realm. It requires adding another
message-archiving query for this case however.
What remains is to figure out how to treat cross-realm huddle messages.
This reverts commit 8f15884c7d. Using the
WITH ( ) ... DELETE method leads to a small performance drop, while
probably not offering many positives, so it seems appropriate to go to
the simpler case of just letting things get cleaned up by CASCADE.
The way the code changed in this commit was written caused Django to
fetch stream.realm from the database for every stream, leading to
redundant, identical queries. Each stream's realm is already known, so
we use that information.
In addition to the test which checks to to see if each endpoint in
code (urls.py) is documented in the openapi documentation (and with
the right arugments). We now also have a test to see if every
endpoint in the openapi documentation is a legitimate endpoint
also existing in code.
We do this by piggy-backing on the work done be the former test and
using set operations. This method avoid the need for an extra loop
and it uses set operations for additional speed and ease of reading.
By importing a few view modules in the validation test itself we
can remove a few endpoints which were marked as buggy. What was
happening was that the view functions weren't imported and hence
the arguments map was not filled. Thus the test complained that
there was documentation for request parameters that seemed to be
missing in the code. Also, for the events register endpoint, we
have renamed one of the documented request parameters from
"stream" to "topic" (the API itself was not modified though).
We add a new "documentation_pending" attribute to req variables
so that any arguments not currently documented but should be
documented can be properly accounted for.
The conditional block containing the tarball upload logic for both S3
and local uploads was deconstructed and moved to the more appropriate
location within `zerver/lib/upload.py`.
This change is preliminary refactoring in order to improve the test
mocking strategy related to `test_realm_export.py`.
What this allows is the ability to simply mock a return value from
`do_export_realm`. We can then use that value as a dummy url to
ensure a file has been served and can be retrieved.
Duplicate handling when INSERTing is switched from "LEFT JOIN ... id IS
NULL" approach to "ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING", since we now have
postgresql 9.5. The ON CONFLICT approach is more natural as well as also
potentially being faster,
We don’t need a hacked copy anymore. We run the installed version out
of node_modules in development, and a Webpack-bundled version of that
in production.

This will allow us to mark a REQ variable as intentionally
undocumented. With this, we can remove some of the endpoints marked
as "buggy" even though they're not actually buggy, we just needed to
specify certain parameters as intentionally undocumented (e.g. the
stream_id for the /users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics endpoint.)
Any REQ variable with intentionally_undocumentated set to True
will not be added to the arguments_map data structure.
For some of the other "buggy" endpoints, we would want to mark the
entire endpoint as being undocumented intentionally via. the urls.py
file.
As of commit cff40c557b (#9300), these
files are no longer served directly to the browser. Disentangle them
from the static asset pipeline so we can refactor it without worrying
about them.
This has the side effect of eliminating the accidental duplication of
translation data via hash-naming in our release tarballs.
This reverts commit b546391f0b (#1148).

We had gotten to the right documented content, but the previous
chaining of object creation/deletion wasn't quite right.
Fix this in a way that reduces the amount by which tests are dependent
on what other tests are doing.
This is a dramatic redesign of the look and feel of our missed-message
emails, designed to decrease the feeling of clutter and just provide
the content users care about in a clear, visible fashion.
This cleans up the reply_warning feature in favor of a more coherent
explanation of whether or not one can reply.
(Also, critically, it now advertises the ability to enable
missed-message email replies with some administrative configuration
work.)
We reuse the link regexes we use elsewhere inn markdown
for parsing links in topic names and add a button to open
them in new tabs similar to our behavior with linkifiers
in topic names.
Fixes#12391.
When archiving Messages, we stop relying on LEFT JOIN ... IS NULL to
avoid duplicates when INSERTing. Instead we use ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
(added in postgresql 9.5) to, in case of archiving a Message that
already has a corresponding archived objects (this happens if a Message
gets archived, restored and then archived again), re-assign the existing
ArchivedMessage to the new transaction.
This also allows us to fix test_archiving_messages_second_time, which
was temporarily disable a few commits before.
We combine run_message_batch_query and run_archiving_in_chunks
functions, which makes the code simpler and more readable - we get rid
of hacky generator usage, for example.
In the process, move_expired_messages_* functions are adjusted, and now
they archive Messages as well as their related objects.
Appropriate adjustments in reaction to this are made in the main
archiving functions which call move_expired_messages_* (they no longer
need to call move_related_objects_to_archive).
Instead of having a bunch of custom code in the function, we make it use
run_message_batch_query and run_archiving_in_chunks to do the necessary
operations in a consistent way, using the same codepaths as the rest of
the archiving system.
This breaks test_archiving_messages_second_time temporarily, but we will
fix it and re-enable the test in the next commits, where we'll address
various other issues with re-archiving of messages.
We also remove the @transaction.atomic wrapper, because atomicity is
handled by the logic inside run_archiving_in_chunks.
