While it might be useful to have created welcome-bot earlier in a
certain sense, it's definitely not a good idea in this populate_db
implementation, because doing so threw off the random initial
assignment of users to streams and thus broke the casper tests.
Unfortunately, GitHub's web UI for generating release tarballs uses
`.gitattributes` to control what files to download, and thus if you
downloaded a source tarball for older Zulip versions using the GitHub
web UI, you'd be missing important files.
We fix this for future releases by moving the blacklist out of
.gitattributes.
Fixes#129.
This works around a bug in Django in handling the error case of a
client sending an inappropriate HTTP `Host:` header. Various
internal Django machinery expects to be able to casually call
`request.get_host()`, which will attempt to parse that header, so an
exception will be raised. The exception-handling machinery attempts
to catch that exception and just turn it into a 400 response... but
in a certain case, that machinery itself ends up trying to call
`request.get_host()`, and we end up with an uncaught exception that
causes a 500 response, a chain of tracebacks in the logs, and an email
to the server admins. See example below.
That `request.get_host` call comes in the midst of some CSRF-related
middleware, which doesn't even serve any function unless you have a
form in your 400 response page that you want CSRF protection for.
We use the default 400 response page, which is a 26-byte static
HTML error message. So, just send that with no further ado.

We sometimes get blueslip errors from browsers that are clearly still
attempting to reload long after they should have. These browsers can
produce a lot of unnecessary presence update exceptions.
To solve that, we start checking reload_in_progress in the presence
code path.
While we're at it, we also add some blueslip logging for the reload
code path, in case it becomes useful when debugging future issues.
We've had a few reports of users using modern Chrome having problems
where reload.is_in_progress() was true, but the browser was just
sitting there, not having reloaded.
This will continually attempt to reload the page periodically try and
compensate for the behavior in Chrome where it appears that the tab
has to be active or semi-active for `location.reload` to be respected
when Chrome is trying to save power, which means that it should just
continually try until the page is active again, in which case the
`location.reload` func will work and reload the page.
See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/03/background_tabs
for the Chrome featureset that we believe may be involved with this
issue.
Tweaked by tabbott to reload earlier and add the on-focus handler.
Fixes: #6821.
While applying formatting to drafts if any draft contains some syntax
which our markdown processor is unable to process delete the draft so
that drafts overlay can be opened without any error. Also report the
exception to the server so that error can be fixed.
This field would get overwritten with an improper value when
we looped over multiple clients, due to not making full copies
of the message dictionary. This failure would be somewhat
random depending on how clients were ordered in the loop.
The only consumers of this field were the mobile app and the
apply-events-to-unread-counts logic. Both of these will now
use `flags` instead.
The `is_mentioned` flag in message events was buggy. We now
look directly at flags.
We will kill off `is_mentioned` in a subsequent commit.
We also remove some debugging code in the test that was failing
before this fix. The test would only fail when `is_mentioned`
was wrong, which never happened when you ran a single test, and
which would happen randomly when you ran multiple tests.
Apparently, this sockjs.tornado logging code resulted in a lot of
buggy error emails whenever a Zulip browser tried to reconnect on a
new IP. I don't see an obvious way to suppress them from within
sockjs, but that might be a good follow-up issue.
Fixes#6959.
Add this field to the Stream model will prevent us from having
to look at realm data for several types of stream operations, which
can be prone to either doing extra database lookups or making
our cached data bloated.
Going forward, we'll set stream.is_zephyr to True whenever the
realm's string id is "zephyr".
The issue has a lot of extra details, but in short, if several
messages were sent at very close to the same time, it's possible that
the event queues will receive the "new message" events out-of-order.
This, in turn, could cause `get_events` to return an incorrectly
sorted block of messages. These would then be passed into
`message_list.add_messages`, which doesn't handle that sort of
unsorted situation correctly (in short, the `self.first.id()`
comparison checks are not accurate for that situation, since we don't
update the boundaries after the first messages is processed).
The end result of this bug was that it was possible for the message
list to be out-of-order, which in turn would cause exceptions when
scrolling with the mouse.
Fixes#6948.
This allows CSS to discriminate by platform and show particular
content; in this case showing things with the attribute
[if-zulip-desktop] content only on “ZulipElectron”.
This switches the checkboxes to be natively grayscale by
referencing the `checkbox.png` file rather than `checkbox-gree.png`
which means that we no longer need to apply the -webkit-filter
setting for grayscale.
This makes the standard checkboxes 7% darker and makes the disabled
ones about 12% darker + 7% darker than they were before, to
increase visibility.
Fixes: #6331.
Previously it was called before the event was processed by the server
and the subscription was updated to have the user subscribed to a
stream, so there was a race condition that would make it iso that
sometimes the stream line would disappear on the next render pass due
to the event not having completed yet.
This makes it so that the re-render happens after the event is
processed in `stream_events.js`.
Fixes: #6797.
This refactors the arguments in the `setup_subscriptions_stream_hash`
method to remove the `stream_id` param and just take it from the `sub`
argument it is passed (which is an object that contains the property,
`stream_id`.
This de-duplicates occurances of the `.no-underline` class by
removing it from "portico.css" and ensuring compaitbility by adding
support for the standard and :hover cases.
This removes sender names from the message cache, since
they aren't guaranteed to be valid, and they're inexpensive
to add.
This commit will make the message cache entries smaller
by removing sender___full_name and sender__short_name
fields.
Then we add in the sender fields to the message payloads
by doing a query against the unique sender ids of the
messages we are processing.
This change leads to 2 extra database hops for most of
our message-related codepaths. The reason there are 2 hops
instead of 1 is that we basically re-calculate way too
much data to get a no-markdown dictionary.
Introduce MessageDict.post_process_dicts() will allow us
the ability to do the following:
* use less memory in the cache for repeated data
* prevent cache invalidation
* format data according to different client needs
The first use of this function is pretty inconsequential, but
it sets us up for more consequential changes.
In this commit we defer the MessageDict.hydrate_recipient_info
step until after we pull data out of the cache. This impacts
cache size as follows:
* streams - negligibly bigger
* PMs/huddles - slimmer due to not needing to repeat
sender data like email/full_name
Again, the main point of this change is to start setting up
the infrastructure to do post-processing.
This is a first step to eventually slimming the message cache,
but there are still some moving parts there to be worked through.
The more immediate benefit of extracting this function is that
we can put tests on it. Also, it isolates some functionality
that may go away as our clients gets smarter.
