We no longer have an in-process code path to export
UserMessage rows. We want to only maintain the
subprocess code, which we'll always use in production,
and which will work fine in dev.
The previous export tool would only work properly for small realms,
and was missing a number of important features:
* Export of avatars and uploads from S3
* Export of presence data, activity data, etc.
* Faithful export/import of timestamps
* Parallel export of messages
* Not OOM killing for large realms
The new tool runs as a pair of documented management commands, and
solves all of those problems.
Also we add a new management command for exporting the data of an
individual user.
All other zulip management command names have underscores, so
rename email-mirror to email_mirror.
This will also make it possible to import this module, which will
help in writing tests for it.
Running `./manage.py email-mirror` used to fail on python 3
because twisted.mail.imap4 is not python 3 compatible.
Display a message informing the user that email-mirror is not
available on python 3 instead of failing with a traceback.
Also add tools/test-management to py3-backend.
runtornado unbuffers its output using
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0).
This is not python 3 compatible since we can't specify
buffering on a text stream in python 3. So use the '-u'
option of python when calling runtornado.py to make output
unbuffered.
* get_realm returns None if no matching realm is present, but
create_stream.py assumed it raises Realm.DoesNotExist.
* encoded/decode strings properly.
* Replace filter by list comprehension.
* Add '# type: ignore' to statements which use attributes from
modeule `posix`, since stubs for posix are missing on python 3.
* get_realm returns None if no matching realm is present, but
create_stream.py assumed it raises Realm.DoesNotExist.
* encoded/decode strings properly.
This prototype from Dropbox Hack Week turned out to be too inefficient
to be used for realms with any significant amount of history, so we're
removing it.
It will be replaced by https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/673.
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
