When I added this "Deployed code" feature to the error reporting,
I apparently hadn't worked out enough of how this code works to
realize that `notify_server_error` may be in a different process,
at a different time and potentially even on a different machine
from the actual error being reported.
Given that architecture, all the data about the error must be computed
in `AdminNotifyHandler`, before sending the report through the queue,
or else it risks being wrong. The job of `notify_server_error` and
friends is only to format the data and send it off. So, move the
implementation of this feature in order to do that.
(@showell added some "nocoverage" directives here for code that
is hard to test (exceptions being thrown, deployment files not
existing) and that was originally part of a file that didn't
require 100% coverage)
This helps prevent them from diverging and getting different sets of
features and fixes. As a bonus, the email path gets a nice tweak that
the Zulip path has had for years, since f7f2ec0ac, which makes the
emails clearer and less broken-looking when logging a message with no
stack trace.
This deduplicates a little bit of logic, and also has us always put
things into `report` the same way.
Empirically an exception in this codepath is very rare, so we won't
complicate the code by trying to salvage a lot of partial information
if it happens -- just log the traceback, and try to get a minimal
notification sent of the bare fact this happened.
This name hasn't been right since f7f2ec0ac back in 2013; this handler
sends the log record to a queue, whose consumer will not only maybe
send a Zulip message but definitely send an email. I found this
pretty confusing when I first worked on this logging code and was
looking for how exception emails got sent; so now that I see exactly
what's actually happening here, fix it.
This is just a basic Dropbox webhook integration. It just
notifies a user when something has changed, it does not
specify what changed. Doing so would require storing data,
as Dropbox API was created mainly for file managers, not
integrations like this.
Closes#5672
We have shifted to a generic queue to send all the emails. This queue
can retry in case of network issues; this makes sure that the emails are
always sent.
This commit just copies all the code from MissedMessageSendingWorker
class to a new EmailSendingWorker class. All the logic to send an email
through a queue was already there. This commit only makes the logic
generic. It does so by creating a special purpose queue called
'email_senders' to send any type of email. To make
MissedMessageSendingWorker still work we derive it from
EmailSendingWorker. All the tests that were testing
MissedMessageSendingWorker now run against EmailSendingWorker.
Previous versions of these links were removed earlier today because
Docker upstream had broken them.
To see what the links had been intended to point to, I used the
Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/web), the super-handy project of the
Internet Archive. These are the current equivalents.
The function should execute initially and return a function, not
be a function that when executed returns another function. This
fixes an existing bug.
Currently, users are warned when mentioning @all and @everyone, but not
when posting on the #announce stream. Confirm with users that they want
to send their message on #announce if over 60 people are going to be
notified.
Fixes#6928.
We should move to a design that doesn't require so many success messages,
since each one carries translation risk (e.g. what if the translation is too
long/overflows, or is not a clear translation, etc.). But doing a quick fix
until then.
We get the following error (edited slightly):
Dec 19 06:13:27 commit_messages| An error occurred while executing
'/usr/bin/git rev-list --max-count=-1 upstream/master..HEAD':
fatal: ambiguous argument 'upstream/master..HEAD':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
We'll need to adjust the remotes to make `upstream` mean what we expect.
This isn't really the right way to do this -- commit
dcd80e665 "travis/setup-backend: Remove the '--travis' flag"
took us in the wrong direction by introducing more magic, deeper in
the stack.
But it's the same way we do it for Travis. For now, just copy that.
