When we create a stream, we usually send a welcome message on the
stream itself as well as an announcement on the announcement stream,
but we no longer PM the individual users. Hopefully this will be
more pleasant for users (less spammy), and it also will make creating a
stream a lot faster.
We still send notifications when we add subscribers to an existing
stream.
This is one of the last major endpoints that were still done in the
pre-REST style.
While we're at it, we change the endpoint to expect a stream ID, not a
stream name.
The new function takes a full UserProfile object for the sender,
which allows us to avoid O(N) calls when creating the stream to
find the user profile of the notification bot. (The calls were
already cached, so this won't necessarily be a huge performance
win.)
We also don't have to worry about sending a blank subject any more.
The new, more direct interface for prepping internal stream
messages circumvents the bug-prone extract_recipients() method,
which has the pitfall that it will try to parse a stream name
as JSON. It also takes a UserProfile object for the sender, so
it's a bit more type-safe.
A bug in Zulip's implementation of the "stream exists" endpoint meant
that any user of a Zulip server could subscribe to an invite-only
stream without needing to be invited by using the "autosubscribe"
argument.
Thanks to Rafid Aslam for discovering this issue.
In order to correctly handle messages sent by cross-realm bots, we
need to specify the realm that the messages are being sent into in the
send message code path. The commit and its successors convert that
code path to include the realm the message is being sent to explicitly.
- Change `stream_name` into `stream_id` on some API endpoints that use
`stream_name` in their URLs to prevent confusion of `views` selection.
For example:
If the stream name is "foo/members", the URL would be trigger
"^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)/members$" and it would be confusing because
we intend to use the endpoint with "^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)$" regex.
All stream-related endpoints now use stream id instead of stream name,
except for a single endpoint that lets you convert stream names to stream ids.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/2930#issuecomment-269576231
- Add `get_stream_id()` method to Zulip API client, and change
`get_subscribers()` method to comply with the new stream API
(replace `stream_name` with `stream_id`).
Fixes#2930.
Previously, we included a special subscribe button in new stream
notifications, but that had 2 problems:
(1) The subscribe button would render badly if the stream was renamed.
(2) There wasn't an easy way to look at the stream when deciding
whether to subscribe.
This fixes the second problem, but not really the first.
Refactor list_to_streams and create_streams_if_needed to take a list
of dictionaries, instead of a list of stream names. This is
preparation for being able to pass additional arguments into the
stream creation process.
An important note: This removes a set of validation code from the
start of add_subscriptions_backend; doing so is correct because
list_to_streams has that same validation code already.
[with some tweaks by tabbott for clarity]
This moves the logic for renaming a stream to the REST API
update_stream_backend method, eliminating the legacy API endpoint for
doing so.
It also adds a nice test suite covering international stream names.
The list_to_streams() method now uses create_streams_if_needed() to
do its heavy lifting during the autocreate=True case.
This commit gets us to 100% coverage on the streams view. (The
recently created action.create_streams_if_needed() was easy
to test in isolation, and it has 100% coverage as well, so we are
not cheating here.)
Fixes: #1005.
This commit extracts compose_views() from update_subscriptions_backend(),
and it implements the correct behavior for forcing transactions to roll
back, which is to raise an exception.
There were really three steps in this commit:
- Extract buggy code to compose_views().
- Add tests on compose_views().
- Fix bugs exposed by the new tests by converting errors to exceptions.
For a long time, rest_dispatch has had this hack where we have to
create a copy of it in each views file using it, in order to directly
access the globals list in that file. This removes that hack, instead
making rest_dispatch just use Django's import_string to access the
target method to use.
[tweaked and reorganized from acrefoot's original branch in various
ways by tabbott]
As documented in https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/441, Guardian
has quite poor performance, and in fact almost 50% of the time spent
running the Zulip backend test suite on my laptop was inside Guardian.
As part of this migration, we also clean up the old API_SUPER_USERS
variable used to mark EMAIL_GATEWAY_BOT as an API super user; now that
permission is managed entirely via the database.
When rebasing past this commit, developers will need to do a
`manage.py migrate` in order to apply the migration changes before the
server will run again.
We can't yet remove Guardian from INSTALLED_APPS, requirements.txt,
etc. in this release, because otherwise the reverse migration won't
work.
Fixes#441.
