A wart that has long been present inin Zulip's get_messages API is how
to request "the latest messages" in the API. Previously, the
recommendation was basically to pass anchor=10000000000000000 (for an
appropriately huge number). An accident of the server's implementation
meant that specific number of 0s was actually important to avoid a
buggy (or at least wasteful) value of found_newest=False if the query
had specified num_after=0 (since we didn't check).
This was the cause of the mobile issue
https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/issues/3654.
The solution is to allow passing a special value of anchor='newest',
basically a special string-type value that the server can interpret as
meaning the user precisely just wants the most recent messages. We
also add an analogous anchor='oldest' or similar to avoid folks
needing to write a somewhat ugly anchor=0 for fetching the very first
messages.
We may want to also replace the use_first_unread_anchor argument to be
a "first_unread" value for the anchor parameter.
While it's not always ideal to make a value have a variable type like
this, in this case it seems like a really clean way to express the
idea of what the user is asking for in the API.
This essentially unused legacy variable was causing Zulip to query the
database at import time, which is generally not something we aim to
do.
Combined with the issue fixed in the previous commit, this variable
resulted in test-backend providing an unhelpful crash when provision
hadn't updated the unit testing database.
Since the intent of our testing code was clearly to clear this cache
for every test, there's no reason for it to be a module-level global.
This allows us to remove an unnecessary import from test_runner.py,
which in combination with DEFAULT_REALM's definition was causing us to
run models code before running migrations inside test-backend.
(That bug, in turn, caused test-backend's check for whether migrations
needs to be run to happen sadly after trying to access a Realm,
trigger a test-backend crash if the Realm model had changed since the
last provision).
This is adds foreign keys to the corresponding Recipient object in the
UserProfile on Stream tables, a denormalization intended to improve
performance as this is a common query.
In the migration for setting the field correctly for existing users,
we do a direct SQL query (because Django 1.11 doesn't provide any good
method for doing it properly in bulk using the ORM.).
A consequence of this change to the model is that a bit of code needs
to be added to the functions responsible for creating new users (to
set the field after the Recipient object gets created). Fortunately,
there's only a few code paths for doing that.
Also an adjustment is needed in the import system - this introduces a
circular relation between Recipient and UserProfile. The field cannot be
set until the Recipient objects have been created, but UserProfiles need
to be created before their corresponding Recipients. We deal with this
by first importing UserProfiles same way as before, but we leave the
personal_recipient field uninitialized. After creating the Recipient
objects, we call a function to set the field for all the imported users
in bulk.
A similar change is made for managing Stream objects.
The original/legacy emoji reactions endpoints made use of HTTP PUT and
didn't have an API that could correctly handle situations where the
emoji names change over time. We stopped using the legacy endpoints
some time ago, so we can remove them now.
This requires straightforward updates to older tests that were still
written against the legacy API.
Fixes#12940.
This makes it possible to simlulate messages sent by specific clients,
rather than just "test suite". Relevant for sending messages where
`message.sent_by_human()` is True.
MigrationsTestCase is intentionally omitted from this, since migrations
tests are different in their nature and so whatever setUp()
ZulipTestCase may do in the future, MigrationsTestCase may not
necessarily want to replicate.
This is a follow-up to b69213808a.
We now actually send messages from the notification_bot, which
is the real usecase for this code.
Also, this cleans up the code and removes needless asserts like
`assertNotEqual(zulip_realm, lear_realm)` making the test easier
to read.
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.
When parsing custom HTTP headers in the integrations dev panel, http
headers from fixtures system and the send_webhook_fixture_message
we now use a singular source of logic: standardize_headers which
will take care of converting a dictionary of input headers into a
standard form that Django expects.
Using this system, we can now associate any fixture of any integration
with a particular set of HTTP headers. A helper method called
determine_http_headers was introduced, and the test suite was upgraded
to use determine_http_headers.

This cleans up the pattern for how we check which user is logged in
during Zulip's backend unit tests to be much more readable (replacing
the arcane session code that does this check).
Running the backend tests with a high number of processes can cause
unexpected errors with language changes. When certain tests that change
the default language, (without explicitly overriding the teardown method
to reset the default language), interleave with other tests that are
expecting the language to be in English, discrepancies arise.
This fixes a common nondeterministic test failure with high levels of
parallelization.
We should definitely be starting each test case with an empty copy of
the per-request caches, since their intended duration is even shorter
than a request.
This was masked by the fact that these caches are automatically
flushed when one makes an actual request to the Zulip API; so the
problems were only manifesting in tests like test_events, where we
call lower-level functions that access a per-request cache without
using the Zulip API.
The make_import_output_dir helper function used a path determined
primarily by the filename of the fixture being used, and expected to
have complete control over that path for the duration of the test.
This resulted in nondeterministic errors if our two test classes that
ran Mattermost import code ran at the same time.
See the comment, but this is a significant performance optimization
for all of our pages using common_context, because this code path is
called more than a dozen times (recursively) by common_context.
Following recent testing flakes that were traced down to this not
having been called causing `receiver_is_off_zulip` to depend on test
ordering, it makes sense to centralize this.
I think it should always have been in ZulipTestCase; it appears the
reason it wasn't from the beginning was that originally only
test_events.py interacted with it, and do_test there still needs to
call this directly (because it can be called multiple times within a
single test). And then we did the wrong thing as expanded use of
Tornado event_queue code in tests to more of the codebase.
Now reading API keys from a user is done with the get_api_key wrapper
method, rather than directly fetching it from the user object.
Also, every place where an action should be done for each API key is now
using get_all_api_keys. This method returns for the moment a single-item
list, containing the specified user's API key.
This commit is the first step towards allowing users have multiple API
keys.
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'.
