While one often might want to put the user's name in an email
template, `name` here was the user's full name, not their first name,
and thus reads as quite formal.
Our implementation of duplication detection in the Zulip email error
reporting system was buggy in two important ways:
* It did not look at the traceback, and thus considered all errors as
the same.
* It reset the 10-minute duplicate timer every time an error happened,
thus concealing situations where the same error was occuring more
often than 1/10 minutes.
This fixes a problem where the requests to Tornado would attempt to
use a configured outgoing HTTP proxy, when really we want to connect
directly to localhost.
Fixes: #468.
Old behavior is to do something tricky that relies on the server being on
Pacific Time and the users being in the US. The goal is to have this message
appear during business hours, since click through rates are higher during
business hours. Our server is now on the East Coast though and our users are
in every timezone, so until we do something smarter this seems like a better
heuristic. We're also trying to cleanse our codebase of non-timezone-aware
datetime.datetime objects.
The previous default configuration resulted in delivery problems if
the Zulip server was authorized in the SPF records for the domains of
all users on the Zulip server.
This has the nice side effect of getting rid of the now-unnecessary
ADMIN_DOMAIN from this codepath -- we really just want whichever
realm ERROR_BOT is in.
Since this delayed sending feature is the only thing
settings.MANDRILL_API_KEY is used for, it seems reasonable for that to
be the gate as to whether we actually use Mandrill.
This sends an event when a new avatar is uploaded that refreshes the
avatar for all browser clients without the need to reload the browser.
Fixes: #1359.
!avatar, !modal_link, !gravatar, etc. were incorrectly being processed
before the escape character for code blocks.
While we're at it, we add tests for these special syntaxes.
This fixes a nasty bug where exporting messages sent by a single user
might only contain some of the messages in the event that the
unspecified sort order by the database didn't happen to be sorted by
message ID.
This commit only addresses tables that currently derive from
user_profile_config in get_realm_config:
zerver_userpresence
zerver_useractivity
zerver_useractivityinterval
zerver_subscription
zerver_recipient
zerver_stream
zerver_huddle
It also introduces an entry in realm.json for a virtual
table called "zerver_userprofile_mirrordummy" for dummy users,
which include prior dummy users and users excluded from the call
to do_export_realm().
Note that this feature is not yet exposed in the management command.
This adds a few new helpful context variables that we can use to
compute URLs in all of our templates:
* external_uri_scheme: http(s)://
* server_uri: The base URL for the server's canonical name
* realm_uri: The base URL for the user's realm
This is preparatory work for making realm_uri != server_uri when we
add support for subdomains.
The message cache filling script actually used both database and
memcached queries as part of filling the cache (all used to compute
the needed display_recipient values). We would ideally fix this by
using bulk operations to fill the display_recipient cache, but until
we do so, this cache filler is counterproductive.
I believe this disabling fixes an issue where memcached would get
overloaded and stop handling requests during a server restart on busy
servers.
Now attachment data gets written to its own json file. We are
splitting this out so that will be easier for us to cross-check
attachments against messages without holding up writing a lot
of the other realm data. (message cross-checking is coming soon)
This commit doesn't change any behavior; it just moves fetching
attachments out of the Config scheme and into its own method.
This prepares us to start writing attachment data to its own
file and cross-checking against message ids (coming soon).
We now just have a single configuration get_realm_config() that
handles most of the top-down realm export tables. (It basically
does everything not related to messages or uploads/avatars.)
Unifying the configs allows us to be more strict in our
configuration about checking for anomalies. In the future
we may need to loosen up some of those restrictions again,
but for now we are picky and paranoid.
Fetch stream data only for stream recipients, instead of
getting streams via realm_id.
(This change is kind of moot for now, since our stream recipients
include all possible stream recipients in the realm, but this
sets us up for when we start restricting users that we export
within the realm.)
Previously, missed message emails with multiple senders would
incorrectly have a "," outside the quoted sender name part of the from
address string, resulting in confusing email output.
This commit introduces the ability to do custom fetches
and to essentially use temp tables for intermediate results.
(The temp table stuff deals with recipients/subscriptions
having three different flavors--user, stream, and huddle.)
Most directly useful for the migration to zulipchat.com.
Creates a new field in UserProfile to store the tos_version, as well as two
new settings TOS_VERSION and FIRST_TIME_TOS_TEMPLATE. We check for a version
mismatch between what the user has signed and the current
settings.TOS_VERSION whenever the user hits the home page, and redirect them
if needed.
Note that accounts_accept_terms.html and
zerver.views.accounts_accept_terms were unused before this commit
(they date from c327446537)
The function to create the message partial files has been
renamed to export_partial_message_files(). It now gets its own
list of user profile ids and recipient ids from the response,
so that we can de-clutter do_export_realm().
The name avatar_bucket was confusing for a boolean, and
in some places it was used for non-S3 paths.
I considered the more concise 'is_avatar', but that
was still confusing when you are processing multiple
files, because you think it's a calculated property
on one file instead of an overall codepath switch.
I also considered splitting up some functions, but
there is a lot of common logic between handling
file uploads and avatars that's not trivial to extract
into helpers, especially on the S3 side.
I did some minor moving around of code that made us have
one fewer function without any additional conditional
logic. The names are more explicit about saying
"from_local" and "from_s3". Also, there is less clutter
now in do_export_realm(), which is evolving into more of
a dispatcher and less of a worker.
This is pretty minor cleanup, but it makes it a little more
explicit what we're writing to the shard file, and it allows
us to use a more specific mypy type when calling
floatify_datetime_fields.
We no longer have an in-process code path to export
UserMessage rows. We want to only maintain the
subprocess code, which we'll always use in production,
and which will work fine in dev.
Adds a new field default language in the zerver_realm model.
This realm level default language will be used as default language
for newly created users. Realm level default language can be
changed from the administration page.
Fixes#1372.
I also fixed some small things like removing unnecessary return
statements, and adding a TODO.
In some cases I explicitly cast stuff at run-time to set() or
str() to appease mypy, as well as make it clear to somebody
reading the code that the callee might not respect ordering
or tolerate unicode.
The previous export tool would only work properly for small realms,
and was missing a number of important features:
* Export of avatars and uploads from S3
* Export of presence data, activity data, etc.
* Faithful export/import of timestamps
* Parallel export of messages
* Not OOM killing for large realms
The new tool runs as a pair of documented management commands, and
solves all of those problems.
Also we add a new management command for exporting the data of an
individual user.
