Previously, we didn't have validation to prevent editing certain flags
that don't make sense for a client to edit, like whether a user was
mentioned in a given message.
This isn't a security issue -- the user could only mess up their own
personal search results (etc.), but it does seem worth fixing to avoid
confusion for folks developing Zulip clients.
While we're at it, clearly document the situation in comments.
This makes the implementation of `get_realm` consistent with its
declared return type of `Realm` rather than `Optional[Realm]`.
Fixes#12263.

This enables the function to either return a valid UserProfile or raise
InvalidMirrorInput, which is clearer and more pythonic than the previous
approach of a tuple of a bool and Optional[UserProfile].
In making the type clearer, this improves checking with mypy.
Tests updated.
Extend the list of users that have to be notified when a message is
changed, so that in addition to users who have a UserMessage row, any
users who subscribed later to a stream with history public to
subscribers will also get the update.
Fixes: #8750.
This adds experimental support in /register for sending key
statistical data on the last 1000 private messages that the user is a
participant in. Because it's experimental, we require developers to
request it explicitly in production (we don't use these data yet in
the webapp, and it likely carries some perf cost).
We expect this to be extremely helpful in initializing the mobile app
user experience for showing recent private message conversations.
See the code comments, but this has been heavily optimized to be very
efficient and do all the filtering work at the database layer so that
we minimize network transit with the database.
Fixes#11944.
A user who has been soft deactivated for a long time might have 10Ks of message
history that was "soft deactivated". It might take a minute or more to add
UserMessage rows for all of these messages, causing timeouts. So, we paginate
the creation of these UserMessage rows.
For internal stream messages, most of the time, we have access to
a Stream object. For the few corner cases where we don't, it is a
much cleaner approach to have a separate function that accepts a
stream name than having one multi-option helper that accepts both
names and objects.
If the caller has access to a Stream object, it is wasteful to
query a database for a stream by ID or name. In addition, not
having to go through stream names eliminates various classes of
possible bugs involved with re-fetching the Stream object by name.
The name for_stream_name is more appropriate here. The name
for_stream is more suitable for a function that takes in a Stream
object, which we're about to add.
This is primarily a feature for onboarding, where an organization
administrator might send a bunch of random test messages as part of
joining, but then want a pristine organization when their users later
join.
But it can theoretically be used for other use cases (e.g. for
moderation or removing threads that are problematic in some way).
Tweaked by tabbott to handle corner cases with
is_history_public_to_subscribers.
Fixes#10912.
This commit also contains the following auxiliary changes:
* Adds a custom exception, StreamWithIDDoesNotExist for when
a stream with a given ID does not exist because the error
message returned by StreamDoesNotExist only makes with stream
names, not IDs.
* Adds a new helper, get_stream_by_id_in_realm, which is similar
to get_user_profile_by_id_in_realm (introduced in #10391).
* Adds a helper, validate_stream_id_with_pm_notification, which
returns the Stream object associated with a given ID and also
handles PM notifications to the bot owner if the message was
sent by a bot and if the stream does not exist or has no
subscribers.
* Modifies the message sent by send_pm_if_empty_stream to
accommodate stream IDs.
Note that all of the above changes are required before check_message
can be modified to support stream IDs.
Multiple delete message requests for the same message sometimes caused
a 500 error. This happened via the normal IntegrityError being thrown
by delete message/archiving code.
This was manually reproduced by adding latency in function
move_messages_to_archive() in retention.py and
delete_message_backend() in views.py. This addresses the problem by
adding code to handle the exception and throw JsonableError to convert
500 to 400 errors, with an automated test.
We make this change because setting up reminders in PM's didn't
play really well with our current infrastructure. Basically the
reminder messages from the bot can't appear in the same narrow as
that of a PM between two people and therefore we disable it.
Though we make an exception here where a person wants to set up
reminder for himself.
Change the truncation marker from `...` to `\n[message truncated]`
when receiving messages from the API or through e-mail. Also, update
tests to account for the new change.
Fix#10871.
This is a preparator refactor for supporting hosting different Tornado
processes on different servers; to look up which Tornado server we
should be sending the event to, we'll need the realm object.
When you send a message to a bot that wants
to talk via an outgoing webhook, and there's
an error (e.g. server is down), we send a
message to the bot's owner that links to the
message that triggered the error.
The code to produce those links was out of
date.
Now we move the important code to the
`url_encoding.py` library and fix the PM
links to use the more modern style (user_ids
instead of emails). We also replace "subject"
with "topic" in the stream urls.
Fixes the urgent part of #10397.
It was discovered that soft-deactivated users don't get mobile push
notifications for messages on private streams that they have configured
to send push notifications.
Reason: `handle_push_notification` calls `access_message`, and that
logic assumes that a user who is a recipient of a message has an
associated UserMessage row. Those UserMessage rows are created
lazily for soft-deactivated users, so they might not exist (yet)
until the user comes back.
Solution: Ensure that userMessage row is created for
stream_push_user_ids and stream_email_user_ids in create_user_messages.
This extends a test that proved only what Cordelia
could do with/without super_user privileges when she
was trying to send to an unsubscribed stream as herself.
Now the test shows the same powers extend to Cordelia
when she's sending messages on behalf of a mirrored
user.
We simulate a race condition by mocking create_user
to actually create a user, but then raise an
IntegrityError (as if another process had actually
created the user, not our test).
I also changed the real code to use explicitly
named parameters.
We want our methodology for extracting the last message
id to be consistent, particularly in terms of how we
handle edge cases. (I'll concede that the
`bulk_remove_subscriptions` codepath never hits that
corner case in practice, but it's harmless to handle
the theoretical case.)
It may also be nice to have this function show up
clearly in profiling.
This also adds some direct testing to the function.
It's not clear to me why we don't use `latest('id')`
in the implementation, but that's outside the scope
of this commit.
