We now have this API...
If you really just need to log in
and not do anything with the actual
user:
self.login('hamlet')
If you're gonna use the user in the
rest of the test:
hamlet = self.example_user('hamlet')
self.login_user(hamlet)
If you are specifically testing
email/password logins (used only in 4 places):
self.login_by_email(email, password)
And for failures uses this (used twice):
self.assert_login_failure(email)
This reduces query counts in some cases, since
we no longer need to look up the user again. In
particular, it reduces some noise when we
count queries for O(N)-related tests.
The query count is usually reduced by 2 per
API call. We no longer need to look up Realm
and UserProfile. In most cases we are saving
these lookups for the whole tests, since we
usually already have the `user` objects for
other reasons. In a few places we are simply
moving where that query happens within the
test.
In some places I shorten names like `test_user`
or `user_profile` to just be `user`.
Do you call get_recipient(Recipient.STREAM, stream_id) or
get_recipient(stream_id, Recipient.STREAM)? I could never
remember, and it was not very type safe, since both parameters
are integers.
This commit completely switches us over to using a
dedicated model called MutedTopic to track which topics
a user has muted.
This includes the necessary migrations to create the
table and populate it from legacy data in UserProfile.
A subsequent commit will actually remove the old field
in UserProfile.
Instead of peeking directly at the DB to verify our mutes are
set correctly, we now use the library function. This prepares
us to modify the DB internals while preserving the tests.
