The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
This is a better solution to the problem of how _pg_re_escape should
handle the null character. There's really no good reason to have a
null character in a stream name.
zerver/lib/actions: removed do_set_realm_* functions and added
do_set_realm_property, which takes in a realm object and the name and
value of an attribute to update on that realm.
zerver/tests/test_events.py: refactored realm tests with
do_set_realm_property.
Kept the do_set_realm_authentication_methods and
do_set_realm_message_editing functions because their function
signatures are different.
Addresses part of issue #3854.
This makes get_stream match get_realm, get_user_profile_by_email,
etc., in interface, and is more convenient for mypy annotations
because `get_stream` now doesn't return an Optional[Stream].
Our linter for translation strings shouldn't check test files, since
then we'll end up translating non-user-facing strings.
So we fix that, and actually add the opposite lint rule.
This is a fairly risky, invasive change that speeds up
stream deactivation by no longer sending subscription/remove
events for individual subscribers to all of the clients who
care about a stream. Instead, we let the client handle the
stream deactivation on a coarser level.
The back end changes here are pretty straightforward.
On the front end we handle stream deactivations by removing the
stream (as needed) from the streams sidebar and/or the stream
settings page. We also remove the stream from the internal data
structures.
There may be some edge cases where live updates don't handle
everything, such as if you are about to compose a message to a
stream that has been deactivated. These should be rare, as admins
generally deactivate streams that have been dormant, and they
should be recoverable either by getting proper error handling when
you try to send to the stream or via reload.
The goal of this library is to make it a lot easier to prevent bugs
like CVE-2017-0881 by having all of our views logic for fetching a
stream go through a couple carefully tested code paths.
A bug in Zulip's implementation of the "stream exists" endpoint meant
that any user of a Zulip server could subscribe to an invite-only
stream without needing to be invited by using the "autosubscribe"
argument.
Thanks to Rafid Aslam for discovering this issue.
This fixes a regression introduced by our migration to track
subscribers for all public streams, where now users who are added to
an invite-only stream were receiving a mark_subscribed event
for a stream their browser didn't know existed, causing an exception.
To fix this, we now send a stream create event to the browser just
before the user receives the notification that it was added to the
invite-only stream.
This changes bugdown to use the realm passed in by the caller (if any)
for rendering, fixing a problem where bots such as the notification
bot would have their messages rendering using the admin realm's
settings, not the settings of the realm their messages are being sent
into.
Also adds a test for the notification bot case.
Fixes#3215.
- Change `stream_name` into `stream_id` on some API endpoints that use
`stream_name` in their URLs to prevent confusion of `views` selection.
For example:
If the stream name is "foo/members", the URL would be trigger
"^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)/members$" and it would be confusing because
we intend to use the endpoint with "^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)$" regex.
All stream-related endpoints now use stream id instead of stream name,
except for a single endpoint that lets you convert stream names to stream ids.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/2930#issuecomment-269576231
- Add `get_stream_id()` method to Zulip API client, and change
`get_subscribers()` method to comply with the new stream API
(replace `stream_name` with `stream_id`).
Fixes#2930.
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
Previously, we included a special subscribe button in new stream
notifications, but that had 2 problems:
(1) The subscribe button would render badly if the stream was renamed.
(2) There wasn't an easy way to look at the stream when deciding
whether to subscribe.
This fixes the second problem, but not really the first.
This adds support for only allowing normal users with account age
equal or greater than a "waiting period" threshold to create streams;
this is useful for open organizations that want new members to
understand the community before creating streams.
If create_stream_by_admins_only setting is set to True, only admin users
were able to create streams. Now normal users with account age greater
or equal than waiting period threshold can also create streams.
Account age is defined as number of days passed since the user had
created his account.
Fixes: #2308.
Tweaked by tabbott to clean up the actual can_create_streams logic and
the tests.
