In this commit we are fixing a kinda serious un-noticed bug with
the way run_db_migrations worked for test db.
Basically run_db_migrations runs new migrations on db (dev or test).
When we talk about the dev platform this process is straight forward.
We have a single DB zulip which was once created and now has some data.
Introduction of new migration causes a schema change or does something
else but bottom line being we just migrate the zulip DB and stuff works
fine.
Now coming to zulip test db (zulip_test) situation is a bit complex
in comparision to dev db. Basically this is because we make use of
what we call zulip_test_template to make test fixture restoration
after tests run fast. Now before we introduced the performance
optimisation of just doing migrations when possible, introduction of
a migration would ideally result in provisioning do a full rebuild of
the test database. When that used to happen sequence of events used to
be something like this:
* Create a zulip_test db from zulip_test_base template (An absolute
basic schema holding)
* Migrate and populate the zulip_test db.
* Create/Re-create zulip_test_template from the latest zulip_test.
Now after we introduced just do migrations instead of full db rebuild
when possible, what used to happen was that zulip_test db got
successfully migrated but when test suites would run they would try to
create zulip_test from zulip_test_template (so that individual tests
don't affect each other on db level).
This is where the problem resides; zulip_test_template wasn't migrated
and we just scrapped zulip_test and re-created it using
zulip_test_template as a template and hence zulip_test will not hold the
latest schema.
This is what we fix in this commit.
Slow queries during backend tests sends messages to Error Bot
which affects the database state causing the tests to fail.
This fixes the occasional flakes due to that.
This line was added in e8ab7cd1a as a desperate measure to get the
`set_loglevel` helper to successfully suppress the `zulip.send_email`
logs.
In fact, the reason that just setting `level` there wasn't doing the
job had nothing to do with `propagate`, which doesn't interact with
`level`. (See the long block comment in `zproject/settings.py`,
searching for "Python logging module", for my attempt at concisely
explaining these semantics.) Rather, our setting for `level` was
getting clobbered by the use of `create_logger`; and setting
`propagate` to False worked by completely suppressing all logs to
`zulip.send_email` and descendants from reaching the normal handlers,
regardless of the log messages' levels.
Now that the `create_logger` issue is fixed (see a few commits before
this one), drop that.
Our set_loglevel tool didn't set propagate to False, so just using it
directly wouldn't work unless the logger is explcitly declared in
zproject/settings.py, which this one isn't.
This should make it a little easier to understand our logging config
and make changes to it with confidence.
Many of these items that are now redundant used to be required when we
were setting disable_existing_loggers to True (before 500d81bf2), in
order to exempt those loggers from being cleared out. Now they're not.
One bit of test code needed a tweak to how it got its hands on the
AdminZulipHandler instance; it can do it from the list on the root
logger just as well as on the `django` logger.
This is necessary for tests the to pass with the new config_error code
path, which we don't want to trigger except on specific tests for
those features.
static/ serves static files which get copied around per deploy. Since
the webpack stats files need a consistent name and change per deploy,
they can't live in static/.
This fixes a bug that preventing downgrading a Zulip server to an old
version.
Instead of zulip_test, use zulip_test_template for backend DB. This
makes sure that the DB used by backend tests is different from the
DB, which will be zulip_test, used by Casper tests.
This adds helpful email notifications for users who just logged into a
Zulip server, as a security protection against accounts being hacked.

Fixes#2182.
This fixes an issue where if you saved a Python file (even just
changing whitespace) while casper tests were running, the Tornado
server being used would restart, triggering a confusing error like
this:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $
Traceback:
undefined:2
:4
Suite explicitly interrupted without any message given.
LocMemCache is not compatible with frontend tests so we only use it
for backend tests. To do that we change the cache backend within
`not CASPER_TESTS` if block.
There is a change in Django 1.10 due to which whenever the password
of the user is changed the session hash changes. This change affects
us because we cache user profile objects and these cached objects need
to be refreshed. However, the signal sent by Django in which objects are
refreshed fails to refresh the cache for Tornado because it uses a
different cache prefix.
Note: Backend tests are not affected because they don't rely on Tornado.
This change adds support for displaying inline open graph previews for
links posted into Zulip.
It is designed to interact correctly with message editing.
This adds the new settings.INLINE_URL_EMBED_PREVIEW setting to control
whether this feature is enabled.
By default, this setting is currently disabled, so that we can burn it
in for a bit before it impacts users more broadly.
Eventually, we may want to make this manageable via a (set of?)
per-realm settings. E.g. I can imagine a realm wanting to be able to
enable/disable it for certain URLs.
test_settings.py was setting EXTERNAL_HOST after importing settings.py,
which has several variables (like SERVER_URI) that are computed from
EXTERNAL_HOST.
[tweaked by tabbott to add comments explaining the story here].
This adds support for running a Zulip production server with each
realm on its own unique subdomain, e.g. https://realm_name.example.com.
This patch includes a ton of important features:
* Configuring the Zulip sesion middleware to issue cookier correctly
for the subdomains case.
* Throwing an error if the user tries to visit an invalid subdomain.
* Runs a portion of the Casper tests with REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS
enabled to test the subdomain signup process.
* Updating our integrations documentation to refer to the current subdomain.
* Enforces that users can only login to the subdomain of their realm
(but does not restrict the API; that will be tightened in a future commit).
Note that toggling settings.REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS on a live server is
not supported without manual intervention (the main problem will be
adding "subdomain" values for all the existing realms).
[substantially modified by tabbott as part of merging]
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.
Camo is a caching image proxy, used in Zulip to avoid mixed-content
warnings by proxying HTTP image content over HTTPS. We've been using
it in zulip.com production for years; this change makes it available
in standalone Zulip deployments.
