As detailed in the comments, the default behavior is undesirable for us
because we can't really predict all possibilities of exceptions that may
be raised - and thus putting str(e) in the http response is potentially
insecure as it may leak some unexpected sensitive information that was
in the exception.
As a hypothetical example - KeyError resulting from some buggy
some_dict[secret_string] call would leak information. Though of course
we aim to never write code like that.
This better matches the title of the page and more generally our
conventions around naming /help/ articles. We include a redirect
because this is referenced from Welcome Bot messages, and we
definitely don't want those links to break.
This fixes error found with django-stubs and it is a part of #18777.
Note that there are various remaining errors that need to be fixed in
upstream or elsewhere in our codebase.
These were added at some point in the past, but were not complete, and
it makes sense to document the current feature level as and when they
become available, since clients should not use the drafts endpoints on
older feature levels.
This removes a bunch of non-functional duplicate JavaScript, HTML, and
CSS that was interfering with maintenance on the functional originals,
because it was never clear how to update the duplicates or how to
check that you’d updated the duplicates correctly.

These modern landing pages cover use cases previously not detailed on
our website. Technically, we had a /for/research page before, but it
wasn't finished or linked everywhere.
Removed "function-url-quotes" stylelint rule
since I need to use quotes in url to use an
svg as list bullet point. There are spacing issues
using it as an image. Also, using quotes in url
is actually the recommended way to do it otherwise
there could be issue with escaping.
This API change removes unnecessary complexity from a client that
wants to change a user's personal settings, and also saves developers
from needing to make decisions about what sort of setting something is
at the API level.
We preserve the old settings endpoints as mapping to the same function
as the new one for backwards-compatibility. We delete the
documentation for the old endpoints, though the documentation for the
merged /settings endpoint mentions how to use the old endpoints when
needed.
We migrate all backend tests to the new endpoints, except for
individual tests for each legacy endpoint to verify they still work.

* Move content on moving topics between streams to a dedicated
article. We advertise it as "move content" to hint that one can move
messages or split topics, and link to it.
* This deletes change-the-topic-of-a-message, because the same content
is already covered in rename-a-topic.
* This commit mostly just moves content between articles. Most of that
content was redundant with the first few paragraphs of the surviving
"rename a topic" article. The former "This is useful for" se ntence
was adapted to the remaining article.
* This commit also adds a redirect for the removed article, and
updates related links.
Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is
no longer viable for us.

This commit adds an API to `zproject/urls.py` to edit/update
the realm linkifier. Its helper function to update the
database is added in `zerver/lib/actions.py`.
`zulip.yaml` is documented accordingly as well, clearly
stating that this API updates one linkifier at a time.
The tests are added for the API and helper function which
updates the realm linkifier.
Fixes#10830.
* This introduces a new event type `realm_linkifiers` and
a new key for the initial data fetch of the same name.
Newer clients will be expected to use these.
* Backwards compatibility is ensured by changing neither
the current event nor the /register key. The data which
these hold is the same as before, but internally, it is
generated by processing the `realm_linkifiers` data.
We send both the old and the new event types to clients
whenever the linkifiers are changed.
Older clients will simply ignore the new event type, and
vice versa.
* The `realm/filters:GET` endpoint (which returns tuples)
is currently used by none of the official Zulip clients.
This commit replaces it with `realm/linkifiers:GET` which
returns data in the new dictionary format.
TODO: Update the `get_realm_filters` method in the API
bindings, to hit this new URL instead of the old one.
* This also updates the webapp frontend to use the newer
events and keys.
This was used by the old native Zulip Android app
(zulip/zulip-android). That app has been undeveloped for enough years
that we believe it no longer functions; as a result, there's no reason
to keep a prototype API endpoint for it (that we believe never worked).
This endpoint was needed by the ancient pre-electron desktop app
written in QT; we removed support for that in practice a long time
ago, and even the custom error messages for it in
5a22e73cc6.
So we can delete this endpoint as well.
Similar to the previous commit, we have added a `do_*` function
which does the deletion from the DB. The next commit handles sending
the events when both adding and deleting a playground entry.
Added the openAPI format data to zulip.yaml for DELETE
/realm/playgrounds/{playground_id}. Also added python and curl
examples to remove-playground.md.
Tests added.
This endpoint will allow clients to create a playground entry
containing the name, pygments language and url_prefix for the
playground of their choice.
Introduced the `do_*` function in-charge of creating the entry in
the model. Handling the process of sending events which will be
done in a follow up commit.
Added the openAPI format data to zulip.yaml for POST
/realm/playgrounds. Also added python and curl examples for using
the endpoint in its markdown documented (add-playground.md).
Tests added.
Adds backend code for the mute users feature.
This is just infrastructure work (database
interactions, helpers, tests, events, API docs
etc) and does not involve any behavioral/semantic
aspects of muted users.
Adds POST and DELETE endpoints, to keep the
URL scheme mostly consistent in terms of `users/me`.
TODOs:
1. Add tests for exporting `zulip_muteduser` database table.
2. Add dedicated methods to python-zulip-api to be used
in place of the current `client.call_endpoint` implementation.
This is a prep change to eventually completely
replace the term "filter" with "linkifier" in
the codebase.
This only renames files. Code changes will be
done in further commits.
We're renaming "stream deletion" language to "stream archiving"
and these pages were moved in the process, so we should keep redirects
for them for a while.
This is part of our general process of replacing emails, which are not
static with time, with user_ids when referring to users in the API.
We still keep the `email` reference option, since it can be useful for
linking third-party applications to Zulip on an intranet that might
have a user's corporate email handy and not want to do the extra round
trip to lookup the user.
The name of the parameter, user_id_or_email, was chosen to to make it
clear that the default/preferred option is user_id.
Fixes#14304.
Add new rest api endpoint GET users/{email} for looking up a user by
email, which is useful especially for corporate API applications that
might already have a user's email address.
Fixes#14302.
As of Feb 15th 2019, Hipchat Cloud and Stride
have reached End Of Life and are no longer
supported by Atlassian. Since it is almost 2 years
now we can remove the migration guides.
We previously used to to redirect to config error page with
a different URL. This commit renders config error in the same
URL where configuration error is encountered. This way when
conifguration error is fixed the user can refresh to continue
normally or go back to login page from the link provided to
choose any other backend auth.
Also moved those URLs to dev_urls.py so that they can be easily
accessed to work on styling etc.
In tests, removed some of the asserts checking status code to be 200
as the function `assert_in_success_response` does that check.
