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.
The purpose of this commit is to pass information
to the frontend whether the message response recieved
has been limited due to plan restrictions or not.
To implement this, the backend for limiting the message
history had to be rewritten as we used to fetch
only the message rows whose id was greater than
first_visible_message_id. The filtered rows gives us
no information on whether the message history was
limited or not. So the backend was rewritten to not
do any restriction of limiting the message rows while
making the query. The limiting of rows is now done in
post_process_limited_query which will also return back
the value of history_limited flag.
Tweaked by tabbott to note a few cases where the results are
incorrect. I'm merging this despite those, because those cases don't
impact the correctness of the feature, and it may have tricky
performance implications to fix correctly.
If cordelia searches on pm-with:iago@zulip.com,cordelia@zulip.com,
we now properly treat that the same way as pm-with:iago@zulip.com.
Before this fix, the query would initially go through the
huddle code path. The symptom wasn't completely obvious, as
eventually a deeper function would return a recipient id
corresponding to a single PM with @iago@zulip.com, but we would
only get messages where iago was the recipient, and not any
messages where he was the sender to cordelia.
I put the helper function for this in zerver/lib/addressee, which
is somewhat speculative. Eventually, we'll want pm-with queries
to allow for user ids, and I imagine there will be some shared
logic with other Addressee code in terms of how we handle these
strings. The way we deal with lists of emails/users for various
endpoints is kind of haphazard in the current code, although
granted it's mostly just repeating the same simple patterns. It
would be nice for some of this code to converge a bit. This
affects new messages, typing indicators, search filters, etc.,
and some endpoints have strange legacy stuff like supporting
JSON-encoded lists, so it's not trivial to clean this up.
Tweaked by tabbott to add some additional tests.
Tweaked by tabbott to use a declared constant rather than just use
5000 in multiple places; this also means we can change the count
without updating translations.
Fixes#10446.
The `match_subject` field is supposed to contain HTML; that's how
the highlighting is done. But the `subject` field is plain text --
it must be encoded if we want corresponding HTML.
Of the three places the `match_subject` field is populated -- two
here in messages_in_narrow_backend, one in get_messages_backend --
two of them already do this correctly, via get_search_fields.
Fix the remaining one, where in a `/messages/matches_narrow` query
we populate `matches_subject` even if the query didn't involve a
full-text search.
This doesn't affect the webapp, which ignores `match_subject` unless
it knows it did a full-text search; nor the mobile app, which
doesn't use `/messages/matches_narrow` at all.
Right now it only has one function, but the function
we removed never really belonged in actions.py, and
now we have better test coverage on actions.py, which
is an important module to get to 100%.
This implements a significant performance optimization for users
clicking the `Private messages` narrow in the Zulip UI, especially for
those users who do not have 50 recent private messages in an
organization with a lot of stream message traffic (because then
previously, postgres needed to scan through a huge amount of history
to find enough private messages).
The database index powering it can also support many other queries we
might want to do in the future to support "recent conversations" type
features.
Fixes#6896.
The use_first_unread_anchor parameter allows automatically setting the
anchor to the first message that hasn't been read in this narrow.
Therefore it isn't necessary to specify an anchor when this parameter is
enabled.
Note from Tim: Arguably, we should think about making
`use_first_unread_anchor` the default behavior when anchor is
unspecified, but that's for later consideration.
The only changes visible at the AST level, checked using
https://github.com/asottile/astpretty, are
zerver/lib/test_fixtures.py:
'\x1b\\[(1|0)m' ↦ '\\x1b\\[(1|0)m'
'\\[[X| ]\\] (\\d+_.+)\n' ↦ '\\[[X| ]\\] (\\d+_.+)\\n'
which is fine because re treats '\\x1b' and '\\n' the same way as
'\x1b' and '\n'.

When GETting an unedited message's edit history, the server wasn't able
to reply properly and produced a 500 error.
Now when that happens, we return a message history that only contains
the original message.
Move the zcommands from '/views/messages.py' to
'/lib/zcommand'.
Also, move the zcommand tests from '/tests/test_messages.py'
to '/tests/test_zcommand'.
These two slash commands now use zcommand to talk to
the server, so we have no Message overhead, and if you're
on a stream, you no longer spam people by accident.
The commands now also give reasonable messages
if you are already in the mode you ask for.
It should be noted that by moving these commands out of
widget.py, they are no longer behind the ALLOW_SUB_MESSAGES
setting guard.
This adds a /ping command that will be useful for users
to see what the round trip to the Zulip server is (including
only a tiny bit of actual server time to basically give a
200).
It also introduce the "/zcommand" endpoint and zcommand.js
module.
API users, particularly bots, can now send a field
called "widget_content" that will be turned into
a submessage for the web app to look at. (Other
clients can still rely on "content" to be there,
although it's up to the bot author to make the
experience good for those clients as well.)
Right now widget_content will be a JSON string that
encodes a "zform" widget with "choices." Our first
example will be a trivia bot, where users will see
something like this:
Which fruit is orange in color?
[A] orange
[B] blackberry
[C] strawberry
The letters will be turned into buttons on the webapp
and have canned replies.
This commit has a few parts:
- receive widget_content in the request (simply
validating that it's a string)
- parse the JSON in check_message and deeply
validate its structure
- turn it into a submessage in widget.py
Add realm setting to set time limit for message deleitng.
Set default value of message_content_delete_limit_seconds
to 600 seconds(10 min).
Thanks to Shubham Dhama for rebasing and reworking this. Some final
edits also done by Tim Abbott.
Fixes#7344.
For certain queries where both include_history and
use_first_unread_anchor are set to True, we were excluding
historical rows. Now we only use the use_first_unread_anchor
flag to filter rows that we use to find the anchor, without
having it filter the actual search results.
The bug went unreported for a long time, because it only
affected mobile users who had newly subscribed to streams.
Note that we make a small change to the test called
test_use_first_unread_anchor_with_muted_topics, which has
a very scary comment about being "arcane" and "be
absolutely sure you know what you're doing." I think it's
fine.
Also, the new test code would fail before this fix, so it
should help prevent future regressions.
Fixes#8958
This is a bit more than a pure refactor, because we duplicate a
chunk of code to calculate a query inside of
find_first_unread_anchor(), so we're doing a bit more work
than before.
We need this refactoring to start decoupling find_first_unread_anchor
from get_messages_backend for the case where include_history is
True. This will happen in a subsequent commit.
The only test that changes here is a direct test on
find_first_unread_anchor(). All other tests pass without
modification, and we have decent coverage on get_messages_backend.
We use an array now to build up the list of search operands and
then consolidate the special search handling after the loop (which
means setting the flag, putting two more columns in the query, and
using ' '.join to build the string).
We have a debugging statement for some obscure errors we get
when narrows have search terms. We now show all the narrow
operators. This isn't really to improve debugging; it's more
to make it easier in the next commit to extract a function
that would make search_term have to be passed back in a tuple.
But it shouldn't hurt debugging either.
This is a pure refactoring and just pulls the function out
to the top level of the module. (The prior commit extracted
it inside a larger function to make a nicer diff.)
