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.
