External bots may call bot_handler.quit() when
they wish to terminate, e.g. due to a misconfiguration.
Currently, embedded bots ignore calls to quit(), even
though they signal a problem. This commit does the first
step in handling quit() calls by logging a warning.
This was causing problems, because internal_send_message assumes that
there is a unique user (across all realms) with the given email
address (which is sorta required to support cross-realm bot messages
the way it does).
With this change, it now, in practice, only sends cross-realm bot
messages.
Storage limititations are only set on the value of
a config entry, since this is the only user-accessible
part of the schema. Keys are statically set by each
embedded bot.
This fixes an exception occurring when engaging an embedded
bot in a PM, makes it respond as itself instead of the sender,
and makes it respond to the PM conversation it is engaded in.
This replaces the former non-functional StateHandler
stub with a dictionary-like state object. Accessing it will
will read and store strings in the BotUserStateData model.
Each bot has a limited state size. To enforce this limit while
keeping data updates efficient, StateHandler caches the expensive
query for getting a bot's total state size. Assignments to a key
then only need to fetch that entry's previous size, if any, and
compare it to the new entry's size.
Add test to check if the embedded bot service being used is in the
registry or not.
Add test to check if the bot being added to the registry has a valid
bot corresponding to it.
Move 'get_bot_handler' to 'zerver/lib/bot_lib.py' as it is an independent
function, not related to the 'EmbeddedBotWorker' class that it was
previously a part of.
Splitting bot_lib.py file into 2 files led to unnecessary
redirection of the code workflow. For an embedded bot/service to
send a reply, it was being redirected 3 times.
First, the code flow comes to "EmbeddedBotHandler" class to send
reply, then it goes to the common function in "zulip_bots/lib.py",
then it would come back to "EmbeddedBotHandler". Later on, if we
create an abstract class, from where the bot work flow would
directly hit and then from there it is classified into
EmbeddedBotHandler or ExternalBotHandler and accordingly it would
get redirected.
Now, first the bot flow goes to it's handler class External or
Embedded (where we pass that this is External or Embedded bot as
parameter) and then goes to a common point and then comes back to
the same class.
This is required, since we just reorganized the python-zulip-api
repository into 3 packages.
A nice side effect is that we get to eliminate some now-unnecessary
code for editing sys.path.
