Our previous OpenAPI schema validator that we implemented ourselves
was useful training wheels for our understanding OpenAPI properly, and
was mostly correct. But given that we've finally reached the point
where our OpenAPI file accurately describes the API, it makes sense to
switch to use an official OpenAPI validator. We lose some ability to
do exclude rules for particular elements, but those were primarily
important for us when we had a lot of them.
As part of this change, we need to add `additionalProperties: false`
for all of our dictonaries/objects where we've documented every
parameter; otherwise the OpenAPI schema checker won't know that we
expect every parameter to be documented.
The current description of object and array parameters in
zulip.yaml is wrong and renders incorrect requests on using OpenAPI
tools such as SwaggerIO, etc. Fix it by encoding it correctly and
changing tests accordingly.
Fixes#14380.
There is still some miscellaneous cleanup that
has to happen for things like analytics queries
and dead code in node tests, but this should
remove the main use of pointers in the backend.
(We will also still need to drop the DB field.)
In zulip.yaml, add `deprecated` tags to all parameters/keys with
`Deprecated` in the description. Then add tests to ensure that deprecated
parameters/keys will always have the `deprecated` key. Also, in
the API docs, sort the parameters according to presence of `deprecated`
key, presenting the `deprecated` keys at the end and add a `deprecated`
tag next to them.
Change variable `name` to `date_sent` as `name` actually stores
the date sent. Also change the data types of `name` and `create_time`
to integer. As they actually have empty decimal value.
* Reordered the settings relevant without stream creation to the top.
* Removed useless/misleading defaults for optional parameters.
* Clarified description of the announce and authorization_errors_fatal settings.
* Clarified that `invite_only` only applies for stream creation.
(It's annoying to do so for its friends because they are including
common description content and OpenAPI doesn't have a way to have
extra content in a place you included something)
Fixes#14705.
After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
`/api/v1/fetch_api_key`'s response had a key `email` with the user's
delivery email. But its JSON counterpart `/json/fetch_api_key`, which
has a completely different implementation, did not return `email` in
its success response.
So to avoid confusion, the non-API endpoint, `/json/fetch_api_key`
response has been made identical with it's `/api` counterpart by
adding the `email` key. Also it is safe to send as the calling user
will only see their own email.
Also, `send_message` example is altered to send a message to the
stream 'social' to avoid getting a "first_message_id: null"
in the response for `get_subscriptions` example, that caused
`validate_against_openapi_schema` to throw an error.
The `EXCLUDE_PROPERTIES` is a dictionary in `zerver/openapi/openapi.py`
which holds the undocumented properties of our API. Document all
properties other than:
*`delivery_email` which is in another PR.
*'events' and 'register'.
*'/setting/notification' since its response is about to undergo heavy
changes.
We had a bug in `validate_against_openapi_schema` that prevented it
from correctly inspecting nested arrays.
Fix the bug and address all the exceptions, either via
EXCLUDE_PROPERTIES or fixing them when simple. Also add a test case
for nested verification.
Currently the API docs do not specify whether a given API parameter
is to be specified in `query` or in `path`. Edit the docs so as
to show the type of argument right beside argument name.
Currently, the OpenAPI extension for rendering description in docs
cannot parse {!api-admin-only.md!}. Edit order of markdown extensions
in app_filters.py so that rendering of OpenAPI elements takes place
before substitution of files using `include`.
Mostly, this is a change in ordering to make more sense, but we also
fix several names that were clearly confusing.
We restore the convention that each endpoint has the same title at the
top of the page as what we have in the sidebar menu, which appears to
have been violated in many recent updates to API documentation.
api docs filenames are basically the operationId of their endpoint
in zulip.yaml with `_` replaced by `-`. But some operationIds have
changed, so change the affected filenames. Make changes in other
files accordingly.
This adds a new client_capability that clients such as the mobile apps
can use to avoid unreasonable network bandwidth consumed sending
avatar URLs in organizations with 10,000s of users.
Clients don't strictly need this data, as they can always use the
/avatar/{user_id} endpoint to fetch the avatar if desired.
This will be more efficient especially for realms with
10,000+ users because the avatar URLs would increase the
payload size significantly and cost us more bandwidth.
Fixes#15287.
This commit adds backend support for setting message_retention_days
while creating streams and updating it for an existing stream. We only
allow organization owners to set/update it for a stream.
'message_retention_days' field for a stream existed previously also, but
there was no way to set it while creating streams or update it for an
exisiting streams using any endpoint.
The term `parameter` is a better word than `argument` for data passed
to an API endpoint; this is why OpenAPI uses in their terminology.
Replace `argument` with `parameter` in the API docs to improve their
readability.
Fixes#15435.
This commit removes is_old_stream property from the stream objects
returned by the API. This property was unnecessary and is essentially
equivalent to 'stream_weekly_traffic != null'.
We compute sub.is_old_stream in stream_data.update_calculated_fields
in frontend code and it is used to check whether we have a non-null
stream_weekly_traffic or not.
Fixes#15181.
This is designed to have no user-facing change unless the client
declares bulk_message_deletion in its client_capabilities.
Clients that do so will receive a single bulk event for bulk deletions
of messages within a single conversation (topic or PM thread).
Backend implementation of #15285.
This adds a powerful end-to-end test for Zulip's API documentation:
For every documented API endpoint (with a few declared exceptions that
we hope to remove), we verify that every API response received by our
extensive backend test suite matches the declared schema.
This is a critical step towards being able to have complete, high
quality API documentation.
Fixes#15340.
