The "add_topic_mute" and "remove_topic_mute" library functions
shouldn't be called directly from tests.
They should instead call "do_mute_topic" and "do_unmute_topic"
The reason being:
Library functions are meant to be internal interfaces
for just changing the database, and shouldn't generally be
called elsewhere.
We do not create historical UserMessage rows, for messages that didn't
have one, while marking messages as read and simply ignore those messages.
We do so because there is no user of creating UserMessage rows and it just
wastes storage.
Note that we still allow to mark messages from unsubscribed streams as
read but only those which have UserMessage rows for them to handle the
case when the unread messages were not marked as read while unsubscribing
from the stream due to some race condition. In such cases, messages
will not be included in the unread count shown in "All messages" menu
(and stream is anyways not present in the left sidebar), but the message
border on the left is green if viewing the stream after unsusbcribing it.
So, to avoid the confusion for users, the messages will be marked as read
when user scrolls down.
Zulip's unread messages design has an invariant that all unread stream
messages must be in streams the user is subscribed to. For example, We
do not include the unread messages from unsubscribed streams in the
"unread_msgs" data structure in "/register" response and we mark all
unread messages as read when unsubscribing a user from a stream.
Previously, the mark as unread endpoint allowed violating that
invariant, allowing you to mark messages in any stream as unread.
Doing so caused the "message_details" data structures sent with
"update_message_flags" events to not contain messages from
unsubscribed streams, even though those messages were present in the
set of message IDs. These malformed events, in turn, caused exceptions
in the frontend's processing of such an event.
This change is paired with a separate UI change to not offer the "Mark
as unread" feature in such streams; with just this commit, that will
silently fail.
With some additions to the tests by tabbott.
This adds a helper based on testing patterns of using the "queries_captured"
context manager with "assert_length" to check the number of queries
executed for preventing performance regression.
It explains the rationale of checking the query count through an
"AssertionError" and prints the queries captured as assert_length does,
but with a format optimized for displaying the queries in a more
readable manner.

Previously, an active production Zulip server would experience a class
of deadlocks caused by two or more concurrent bulk update operations
on the UserMessage table.
This is because UPDATE ... SET ... WHERE statements that execute in
parallel take row-level UPDATE locks as they get results; since the
query plans may result in getting rows in different orders between two
queries, this can result in deadlocks.
Some databases allow ORDER BY on their UPDATE ... WHERE statements;
PostgreSQL does not. In PostgreSQL, the answer is to do a sub-select
with an ORDER BY ... FOR UPDATE to ensure consistent ordering on row
locks.
We do this all code paths using bitand or bitor as part of bulk
editing message flags, which should ensure that these concurrent
operations obtain row level locks on the table in the same order.
Fixes#19054.
This is a prep commit for changing do_change_stream_permission
to require passing all (invite_only, history_public_to_subscribers
and is_web_public) arguments in further commits.
Since `HttpResponse` is an inaccurate representation of the
monkey-patched response object returned by the Django test client, we
replace it with `_MonkeyPatchedWSGIResponse` as `TestHttpResponse`.
This replaces `HttpResponse` in zerver/tests, analytics/tests, coporate/tests,
zerver/lib/test_classes.py, and zerver/lib/test_helpers.py with
`TestHttpResponse`. Several files in zerver/tests are excluded
from this substitution.
This commit is auto-generated by a script, with manual adjustments on certain
files squashed into it.
This is a part of the django-stubs refactorings.

This commit changes the error message from "Invalid stream id"
to "Invalid stream ID" for cases where invalid stream IDs are
passed to API endpoints to make it consistent with other similar
error messages.

This commit adds the backend functionality to
mark messages as unread through update_message_flags
with `unread` flag and `remove` operation.
We also manage incoming events in the webapp.
Tweaked by tabbott to simplify the implementation and add an API
feature level update to the documentation.
This commit was originally drafted by showell, and showell
also finalized the changes. Many thanks to Suyash here for
the main work here, which was to get all the tests and
documentation work moving forward.
A user can subscribe to a stream and sometimes (depending
on stream permissions) see messages from the stream
that were sent before they subscribed, and that user
won't have a UserMessage row for that message.
In order to do things like star a message, we need
to create UserMessage records on the fly.
In the past we wisely constrained this logic to the
specific use cases. But I think we can generalize
the logic now. For example, we are now building a
feature to mark messages as unread, and it motivates
the same need to auto-create UserMessage rows.
So now we handle this in a more generalized fashion.
Removes `topic_name` parameter in `test_message_flags.py`
where is being passed to a test for marking a stream as
read because it is an ignored parameter for that endpoint.
The change to curl_param_value_generators.py warrants a brief
explanation. Stream permission changes now generate a notification
message. Our curl example test for removing a reaction comes after
the two tests for updating the stream permission changes, thus the
hardcoded message ID in that test needs to be incremented by 2 to
account for the two notification messages that now come before it.
This is a part of #20289.
do_make_stream_web_public and do_change_stream_invite_only seem
to contain very similar logic that could just live inside the
do_change_stream_permission function that handles all permission
changes in one place.
We now complain if a test author sends a stream message
that does not result in the sender getting a
UserMessage row for the message.
This is basically 100% equivalent to complaining that
the author failed to subscribe the sender to the stream
as part of the test setup, as far as I can tell, so the
AssertionError instructs the author to subscribe the
sender to the stream.
We exempt bots from this check, although it is
plausible we should only exempt the system bots like
the notification bot.
I considered auto-subscribing the sender to the stream,
but that can be a little more expensive than the
current check, and we generally want test setup to be
explicit.
If there is some legitimate way than a subscribed human
sender can't get a UserMessage, then we probably want
an explicit test for that, or we may want to change the
backend to just write a UserMessage row in that
hypothetical situation.
For most tests, including almost all the ones fixed
here, the author just wants their test setup to
realistically reflect normal operation, and often devs
may not realize that Cordelia is not subscribed to
Denmark or not realize that Hamlet is not subscribed to
Scotland.
Some of us don't remember our Shakespeare from high
school, and our stream subscriptions don't even
necessarily reflect which countries the Bard placed his
characters in.
There may also be some legitimate use case where an
author wants to simulate sending a message to an
unsubscribed stream, but for those edge cases, they can
always set allow_unsubscribed_sender to True.
This fixes a batch of mypy errors of the following format:
'Item "None" of "Optional[Something]" has no attribute "abc"
Since we have already been recklessly using these attritbutes
in the tests, adding assertions beforehand is justified presuming
that they oughtn't to be None.
This is will make it easier to systematically use Django's
`capturOnCommitCallbacks` in tests outside of the main
`test_events` file which involve assertions on events.
This completes the effort to make it possible to use
bulk_access_message in contexts where there are more than a handful of
messages without creating performance issues.
This is preparatory work for investigating reports of missing unread
messages.
It's a little surprising that not test failed after adding the code
without API documentation.
