We were building the same link regex every time
we build a Markdown engine, which happens twice
per realm. It's an expensive operation due to
the complexity of the regex and us reading a file.
This is a preparatory commit which will help us with removing camo.
In the upcoming commits we introduce a new endpoint which is based
out on the setting CAMO_URI. Since camo could have been hosted on
a different server as well from the main Zulip server, this change
will help us realise in tests how that scenerio might be dealt with.
We are basically adding a check for url's to be external (belonging
to some 3rd party web site hosting the image) or be one of the
user uploaded files. User uploaded files are served by a separate
endpoint which is /user_uploads/. Any other local url such as
/user_avatars/ or /static/ should never be sent to thumbor for
thumbnailing.
Not sending /user_avatars/ to thumbor for thumbnailing makes sense
because they are already properly thumbnailed and stored properly.
/static/ urls host very few images we use for demo and can be safely
be excluded from thumbnailing.
We start by stripping the ids in front of the name before the database
lookup. This has the advantage of not mentioning anyone if an incorrect
user id and full name combination is specified, as well as not having
the query the database twice, once by fullname and next by id.
Previously, we were storing only the most recent person with the same
full name as others; this commit adds new keys to the dict such that
simply looking by name would get you the newest user with this name,
and the get_user_by_id function can index the remaining users.
Various pieces of our thumbor-based thumbnailing system were already
merged; this adds the remaining pieces required for it to work:
* a THUMBOR_URL Django setting that controls whether thumbor is
enabled on the Zulip server (and if so, where thumbor is hosted).
* Replaces the overly complicated prototype cryptography logic
* Adds a /thumbnail endpoint (supported both on web and mobile) for
accessing thumbnails in messages, designed to support hosting both
external URLs as well as uploaded files (and applying Zulip's
security model for access to thumbnails of uploaded files).
* Modifies bugdown to, when THUMBOR_URL is set, render images with the
`src` attribute pointing /thumbnail (to provide a small thumbnail
for the image), along with adding a "data-original" attribute that
can be used to access the "original/full" size version of the image.
There are a few things that don't work quite yet:
* The S3 backend support is incomplete and doesn't work yet.
* The error pages for unauthorized access are ugly.
* We might want to rename data-original and /thumbnail?size=original
to use some other name, like "full", that better reflects the fact
that we're potentially not serving the original image URL.
This migrates Zulip to use a dramatically better set of names and
aliases for our emoji set, defined in emoji_names.py (which is in turn
manually generated from our hand-curated CSV file).
This should significantly improve the experience of using Zulip's
emoji picker and emoji typeahead for finding what one is looking for.
This has two advantages;
* We can split bugdown/__init__.py into several modules, and each
module can access these arguments by importing these
* We get rid of the super-ugly `global db_data` construct, replacing
it with a only slightly ugly monkey-ish patching of the
`zerver.lib.bugdown.arguments` module, which is at least
considerably more clear on reading as to what it's purpose is.
This commit increases the rendered_content limit from 2x to 10x of the
original message length.
Earlier, we had placed a limit of MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH * 2 for the
rendered content (explained in commit
77addc5456). That limit was based on
the assumption that in most cases, the rendered content wouldn't cause
a large increase in message length. However, quite prominently in
syntax highlighted codeblocks, that wasn't true and this caused the
limit condition to be hit for long messages composed primarily of code
blocks.
Example: The following message would render close to 10x it's original size.
```py
if:
def:
print("x", var)
x = y
```
Because the syntax highlighted logic is extremely compressible, having
rendered_content reach up to 100KB doesn't create a network
performance problem.
Usually, to debug a small change, you have to remove some tests from JSON
because of lack of support for comments in JSON. This commit allows to
ignore some tests by setting `"ignore" : true` in the bugdown fixtures.
Also, since this is only for while developing, the complete test suite will
throw an error if we leave an 'ignored' test in a commit.
Also switches the default behaviour of the code to not translate the
emoticons. Earlier, the code was testing-aware, and used to translate
when there was no user profile data available(assuming that as a testing
environment).
In 18e43895ff we replaced
stream subscribe buttons with stream links. The new feature
has been well tested and well received for over a year now,
so it's safe to remove the older feature at this point.
Older sites will have super old messages that still have the
rendered markup; this commit does not attempt to address those
situations. Most likely, clicking on an old button in the old
message will either do nothing or look like a message reply.
This commit migrates realm emoji to be addressed by their `id` rather
than their name. This fixes a long standing issue which was causing
an error on uploading an emoji with same name as a deactivated realm
emoji.
Fixes: #6977.
This field has been unused by clients for some time, and isn't great
for our public archive feature plans (where we'll not want to be
including email addresses in messages).
Add `translate_emoticons` to `prop_types` and `expected_keys`.
Furthermore, create a emoji-translating Markdown inline pattern.
Also use a JavaScript version of `translate_emoticons` and then use
this function during Markdown previews and as a preprocessor. This
is only needed for previews, because usually emoticon translation
happens on the backend after sending.
Add tests for emoticon translation, a settings UI, and a /help/ page
as well.
Tweaked by tabbott to fix various test failurse as well as how this
handles whitespace, requiring emoticons to not have adjacent
characters.
Fixes#1768.
This commit prefixes stream names in urls with stream ids,
so that the urls don't break when we rename streams.
strean name: foo bar.com%
before: #narrow/stream/foo.20bar.2Ecom.25
after: #narrow/stream/20-foo-bar.2Ecom.25
For new realms, everything is simple under the new scheme, since
we just parse out the stream id every time to figure out where
to narrow.
For old realms, any old URLs will still work under the new scheme,
assuming the stream hasn't been renamed (and of course old urls
wouldn't have survived stream renaming in the first place). The one
exception is the hopefully rare case of a stream name starting with
something like "99-" and colliding with another stream whose id is 99.
The way that we enocde the stream name portion of the URL is kind
of unimportant now, since we really only look at the stream id, but
we still want a safe encoding of the name that is mostly human
readable, so we now convert spaces to dashes in the stream name. Also,
we try to ensure more code on both sides (frontend and backend) calls
common functions to do the encoding.
Fixes#4713
This enforces `**` around all the mentions including "at-all" and
"at-everyone" mentions. Hence this makes `@all` and `@everyone`
invalid mentions, resulting into proper syntax for these mentions as
`@**all**` and `@**everyone**` respectively.
Note from tabbott: This removes an old feature/syntax, which made
sense back when @Tim was also a way to mention a user with Tim as
their first name. Given how nice typeahead is now, the user part of
the feature was removed a while ago; this should have gone at the same
time.
Fixes: #8143.
If some bug in Bugdown results in a rendered message content that is
bigger than twice the message size, we now just throw an exception
from Bugdown. This is considerably better than the old behavior,
which might result in an enormous message being placed in the database
(potentially, bigger than the 1MB limit to store in memcached), which
would in turn result in tragic consequences.
This fixes#8322, in that it prevents the super bad outcome seen there
(where basically Zulip became unusable for everyone on the stream
where the message is posted). Now, the failure mode is just the
message failing to send. Still not ideal (and requires further work
on the URL embed feature), but not a minor problem, not a major one.
Adds a check for newline that was present on backend, but missing in the
frontend markdown implementation. Updating messages uses is_me_message flag
received from server instead of its own partial test. Similarly, rendering
previews uses markdown code.
Fixes#6493.
This also amends a commit from Brock Whittaker <brock@zulipchat.com>
that merges two separate functions for YouTube videos and Vimeo videos
into a generic video recall function.
Fixes#7550.
Hides URL if the message content == image url so that sending gifs or
images feels less cluttered. Uses the url_to_a() function to generate
the expected url string for matching.
Fixes#7324.
Appends "Test: " text to some tests to make changes to the image preview
rendering. In the future, if the message is only a link to an image,
the link will be hidden.
