- Use tornado as proxy server for development environment,
replacing twisted (this doesn't support websockets).
- Upgrade tornado version to 4.4.1 (needs to be coupled to the
above since neither change works without the other)
- All necessary strings was converted to bytestring
- Added twisted as py3 dependency
- Change type annotation for method getchild of class Resource
- Remove activating python2 env section from run-dev.py script
Fixes#1256
The new messages make it more obvious which services are started
from run-dev.py, and explicitly call out where to access the web
proxy to reach the Zulip web UI. This is a common confusion for
new administrators/developers. Messages are output before the
processes are launched, as run-dev.py does not currently have a
way to know if they started successfully.
Example output:
Starting Zulip services on ports: web proxy: 9991, Django: 9992, Tornado: 9993, webpack: 9994
Note: only port 9991 is exposed to the host in a Vagrant environment.
Alternate behavior for automated testing:
If run-dev.py is invoked with --test, don't include the webpack
port as it isn't used.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, by running run-dev.py at a shell prompt and
via the test-all script.
Fixes#1861
Clear memcached when tools/run-dev.py is run. This prevents
errors on using a different python version because values are
pickled before being stored in memcached and different python
versions implement pickling differently.
Also provide a command-line option --no-clear-mc to prevent
memcached from being cleared.
runtornado unbuffers its output using
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0).
This is not python 3 compatible since we can't specify
buffering on a text stream in python 3. So use the '-u'
option of python when calling runtornado.py to make output
unbuffered.
This works around a nasty problem with Webpack that you can't run two
copies of the Webpack development server on the same project at the
same time (even if on different ports). The second copy doesn't fail,
it just hangs waiting for some lock, which is confusing; but even if
that were to be solved, we don't actually need the webpack development
server running to run the Casper tests; we just need bundle.js built.
So the easy solution is to just run webpack manually and be sure to
include bundle.js in the JS_SPECS entry.
As a follow-up to this change, we should clean up how test_settings.py
is implemented to not require duplicating code from settings.py.
Fixes#878.
manage_args is set to a list of arguments a few lines later in the
function, making this initialization as the empty string useless and
confusing.
Discovered using mypy.
Django's `manage.py runserver` prints a relatively low-information log
line for every request of the form:
[14/Dec/2015 00:43:06]"GET /static/js/message_list.js HTTP/1.0" 200 21969
This is pretty spammy, especially given that we already have our own
middleware printing a more detailed version of the same log lines:
2015-12-14 00:43:06,935 INFO 127.0.0.1 GET 200 0ms /static/js/message_list.js (unauth via ?)
Since runserver doesn't have support controlling whether these log
lines are printed, we wrap it with a small bit of code that silences
the log lines for 200/304 requests (aka the uninteresting ones).
The old language was confusing because "the interface" could refer to something
like eth0, but in actuality refers to the IP/hostname to listen on.

This makes it simpler to test between two VMs by allowing you to bind to
non localhost interfaces.

Importing zerver.worker.queue_processors (which is needed to get the list of
workers to start) is slow because it, in turn, imports a bunch of stuff. So we
move the process of starting up queue processing workers into another script
that gets started in parallel with everything else.

Have run-dev.py watch for template changes by calling
`./tools/compile-handlebars-templates forever`. This doesn't
have much effect until the subsequent commit, but it does
alert users to broken templates.

This requires a puppet apply on each of staging and prod0 to update

New dependency: sockjs-tornado
One known limitation is that we don't clean up sessions for
non-websockets transports. This is a bug in Tornado so I'm going to
look at upgrading us to the latest version:

This includes a hack to preserve humbug/backends.py as a symlink, so
that we don't need to regenerate all our old sessions.

The new nginx configuration file needs to be copied to

This means all GET parameters were chopped off previously in local testing.
Nginx does pattern matching so this is not a problem on staging.

We can't rely on the builtin exception printing, because killpg will kill the
