Apparently, the arguments passed to template_database_status were
incorrect for the manual testing development database, in that we
didn't pass a status_dir when calling into that code from provision.
The result was that provisioning before running `test-backend` would
ignore changes to the list of check_files (etc.) made after rebasing,
and vice versa.
The cleanest fix is to compute status_dir from other values passed in;
I'm also going to open a follow-up issue for creating a better overall
interface here.
This adds a new API endpoint for querying basic data on a single other
user in the organization, reusing the existing infrastructure (and
view function!) for getting data on all users in an organization.
Fixes#12277.
This code is a bit flatter and just preps the data
for a single user. There is never any interaction
between the data for user A and user B, so we can
mostly avoid complicated nested data structures
and do most of the data-crunching on a per-user basis.
We also do an explicit sort of the data before
running it through groupby. The explicit sort
simplifies how we calculate `most_recent_info`
and also avoids needing to add `dt` to an intermediate
data structure.
Finally, when it comes to the individual client data,
the code has relied on the assumption that there is
only one row per client, which I believe to be true,
but now the code is more explicit about that.
The word "status" is vague, and this isn't
actually returning a list, so we now name it
get_presence_response.
I originally was gonna rename this to
get_presence_dict, but there's a function
called get_status_dict that returns a subset
of the response, so I think it's a bit more
clear that this is the bigger dict that
actually gets sent back.
We want to err on the side of server_timestamp being
old, since we may eventually use this to make responses
just include incremental changes, and we don't want a
time window (however small) when we miss presence rows.
The clients will be able to deal with duplicate data
to the extent that the time windows are overlapping.
Also, extracting the other local var here
(for `presences`) will set up a subsequent commit
where we re-format the data for clients with
slim_presence=True.
We avoid complicated code to update unread counts
by just using vdom.js.
One small change here is that if click on "more
topics", we replace it with the spinner instead
of putting the spinner after it. This saves us
a redraw under the new scheme.
In e3ad9baf1d, we introduced yet another
bug where we incorrectly shared event dictionaries between multiple
queues.
Fortunately, the logging that reports on "event was not in the queue"
issues worked and detected this on chat.zulip.org, but this is a clear
indication that the comments we have around this system were not
sufficient to produce correct behavior.
We fix this by changing event_queue.push, the code that mutates the
event dictionaries, to do the shallow copies itself. The only
downside here is process_message_event, a relatively low-traffic code
path, does an extra per-queue dictionary copy. Given that presence,
heartbeat, and message reading events are likely more traffic and
dealing with HTTP is likely much more expensive than a dictionary
copy, this probably doesn't matter performance-wise.
(And if profiling later finds it is, there are potential workarounds
like passing a skip_copy argument we can do).
