Whenever we use API queries to mark messages as read we now increment
two new LoggingCount stats, messages_read::hour and
messages_read_interactions::hour.
We add an early return in do_increment_logging_stat function if there
are no changes (increment is 0), as an optimization to avoid
unnecessary database queries.
We also log messages_read_interactions::hour Logging stat
as the number of API queries to mark messages as read.
We don't include tests for the case where do_update_pointer is called
because do_update_pointer will most likely be removed from the
codebase in the near future.
This adds a powerful end-to-end test for Zulip's API documentation:
For every documented API endpoint (with a few declared exceptions that
we hope to remove), we verify that every API response received by our
extensive backend test suite matches the declared schema.
This is a critical step towards being able to have complete, high
quality API documentation.
Fixes#15340.
When doing query for same topic names in a stream, we should do a
case-insensitive exact match for the topic, since that's the data
model for topics in Zulip.

There seems to have been a confusion between two different uses of the
word “optional”:
• An optional parameter may be omitted and replaced with a default
value.
• An Optional type has None as a possible value.
Sometimes an optional parameter has a default value of None, or None
is otherwise a meaningful value to provide, in which case it makes
sense for the optional parameter to have an Optional type. But in
other cases, optional parameters should not have Optional type. Fix
them.

This commit adds three `.pysa` model files: `false_positives.pysa`
for ruling out false positive flows with `Sanitize` annotations,
`req_lib.pysa` for educating pysa about Zulip's `REQ()` pattern for
extracting user input, and `redirects.pysa` for capturing the risk
of open redirects within Zulip code. Additionally, this commit
introduces `mark_sanitized`, an identity function which can be used
to selectively clear taint in cases where `Sanitize` models will not
work. This commit also puts `mark_sanitized` to work removing known
false postive flows.
The only clients that should use the typing
indicators endpoint are our internal clients,
and they should send a JSON-formatted list
of user_ids.
We now enforce this, which removes some
complexity surrounding legacy ways of sending
users, such as emails and comma-delimited
strings of user_ids.
There may be a very tiny number of mobile
clients that still use the old emails API.
This won't have any user-facing effect on
the mobile users themselves, but if you type
a message to your friend on an old mobile
app, the friend will no longer see typing
indicators.
Also, the mobile team may see some errors
in their Sentry logs from the server rejecting
posts from the old mobile clients.
The error messages we report here are a bit
more generic, since we now just use REQ
to do validation with this code:
validator=check_list(check_int)
This also allows us to remove a test hack
related to the API documentation. (We changed
the docs to reflect the modern API in an
earlier commit, but the tests couldn't be
fixed while we still had the more complex
semantics for the "to" parameter.)
Prevent `JsonableError(_("Missing content"))` from
ever being triggered.
That error wasn't handle by anything, and thus just threw a 500, as
it's not a response to an HTTP request.
The right fix is to adjust the caller to ban the empty string in
content (or content that strips to the empty string).
Closes#15145.
This commit adds some basic checks while adding or removing
realm owner status of a user and adds code to change owner
status of a user using update_user_backend.
This also adds restriction on removing owner status of the
last owner of realm. This restriction was previously on
revoking admin status, but as we have added a more privileged
role of realm owner, we now have this restriction on owner
instead of admin.
We need to apply that restriction both in the role change code path
and the deactivate code path.
This commit sets the role of the user creating the realm as
realm owner after the realm is created.
Previously, the role of user creating the realm was set as admin.
But now we want it to be owner because owners have the highest
privilege level.
The test_management_commands use in particular was causing pickling
errors when the test failed, because Python 3 filter returns an
iterator, not a list.

Old topic of the msg edit event can be used to help the client
calculate useful information such as if a change
in current narrow is required.
This fixes our re narrow logic after a stream edit of a topic, with
no change in topic name itself, since the original topic was not
present in the event received and hence the `orig_topic` was
undefined in this case.
Option to disable breadcrumb messages were given in both message edit
form and topic edit stream popover.
User now has the option to select which stream to send the notification
of stream edit of a topic via checkboxes in the UI.

This commit changes the person dict in event sent by do_change_user_role
to send role instead of is_admin or is_guest.
This makes things much more straightforward for our upcoming primary
owners feature.
Currently response return values have to be written twice, once in

that the return values in api docs are rendered using content from

This commit changes do_change_user_role to support adding or removing
the realm owner status of user and sending an event.
We also extend the existing test for do_change_user_role to do a bit
more validation to confirm the audit log records all values of role.
The new realm_owner role is added as option for role field in
UserProfile model and is_realm_owner is added as property for the user
profile.
Aside from some basic tests validating the logic, this has no effect
as users cannot end up with set as realm owners.
If a user receives more than one invite to join a

We handle fenced code blocks in a preprocessor, and > style blockquotes
are parsed in a blockprocessor. Pymarkdown doesn't run the preprocessors
again on any blocks that it is parsing, and is unlikely to accept our
solution upstream; they intend to convert fenced_code to a block parser.
We simply run all the preprocessors on the text again, with the exception
of NormalizeWhitespace which removed delimiters used by HtmlStash to mark
preprocessed html code. To counter this, we subclass NormalizeWhitespace
and use our customized version for when it is called from a blockparser.

This commit merges do_change_is_admin and do_change_is_guest to a

This will protect us in case of some kinds of bugs that could allow

After a message was reset in our caches cache via message editing or
adding/removing a reaction, we were sending corrupt data to the cache
because build_message_dict (and thus build_dict_from_raw_db_row) was
improperly being called before sewing in the reaction data.
As a result, we were sending raw database data in the reaction
dictionaries, rather than the reformatted version expected by the API.
Bug introduced in 2a4c62a326.
Fixing this correctly required moving the rendering_realm_id logic one
step higher in the call chain, which is a useful refactoring anyway
(since we're no longer passing a `Message` object down)

This adds support for syntax like: !time(Jun 7 2017, 6:30 PM) so that
everyone sees the time in their own local timezone. This can be used
when scheduling online meetings, etc.
This adds some hardcoded values for timezones, because of there
being no sureshot way of determining the timezone easily. However,
since the main way of using the feature should be a typeahead for
entering the time, this shouldn't be cause of much concern.

During events such as stream / topic name edit for a topic, we were
running queries to db in loop for each message for reactions,
submessages and realm_id. This commit reduces the queries to be

This is accomplished by building messages with empty reactions
and submessages and then updating them in the messages using bulk
queries.

For unknown reasons, deleting 10,000s of ArchiveTransaction objects
results in rapidly growing memory in the job making the request in the
Django process, eventually leading to an OOM kill.
I don't understand why Django behaves that way; I would have expected
the failure mode to instead be a serious load problem on the database
server, but perhaps the way Django's internal deletion logic handles
cascading the deletes to many millions of ArchiveMessages and other
ForeignKey objects requires tracking a lot of data in memory.
The solution is the same in any case, which is to batch the deletions
to execute a reasonable number of them at once. Doing a single
ArchiveTransaction at a time would likely result in huge numbers of
database queries in a loop, which performs very poorly. So we balance
by batching deletions in groups of 100 ArchiveTransactions; testing
this in production, I saw no spike of memory usage materially beyond
that of a normal Django process, and each bulk-deletion transaction
takes several seconds to process (meaning per-transaction overhead is
negligible).
I'm not sure exactly what series of history got us here, but we were
fetching the mobile_user_ids data for all users in the organization,
regardless of whether they were recently active (and thus relevant for
the main presence data set). And doing so in a sloppy fashion
(sending every user ID over the wire, rather than just having the
database join on Realm).
Fixing this saves a factor of 4-5 on the total runtime of a presence
request on organizations with 10Ks of users like chat.zulip.org; more
like 25% in an organization with 150. Since large organizations are
very heavily weighted in the overall cost of presence, this is a huge
win.

The `email` field for identifying the user being modified in these
events was not used by either the webapp or other official Zulip
clients. Instead, it was legacy data from before we switched years
ago to sending user_id fields as the correct way to uniquely identify
a user.
When a user changes its avatar image, the user's avatar in popovers
wasn't being correctly updated, because of browser caching of the
avatar image. We added a version on the request to get the image in
the same format we use elsewhere, so the browser knows when to use the
cached image or to make a new request to the server.

We remove the `owner` field from `page_params/realm_bots`
and bot-related events.
In the recent commit 155f6da8ba
we added `owner_id`, which we now use everywhere we need
bot owners for.
We also bump the `API_FEATURE_LEVEL` to 5 here. We
had already documented this in the prior commit to
add `owner_id`.
Note that we don't have to worry about mobile/ZT clients
here--we only deal with bot data in the webapp.
For the below payloads we want `owner_id` instead
of `owner`, which we should deprecate. (The
`owner` field is actually an email, which is
not a stable key.)
page_params.realm_bots
realm_bot/add
realm_bot/update
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the data served in
these payloads is cached with the key
`bot_dicts_in_realm_cache_key`.
For page_params, we get the new field
via `get_owned_bot_dicts`.
For realm_bot/add, we modified
`created_bot_event`.
For realm_bot/update, we modified
`do_change_bot_owner`.
On the JS side, we no longer
look up the bot's owner directly in
`server_events_dispatch` when we get
a realm_bot/update event. Instead, we
delegate that job to `bot_data.js`.
I modified the tests accordingly.
When editing a message where we mention a usergroup, we would remove
the 'mentioned' flag from messages, resulting in the message being
hidden from your mentions in the UI. This was reported by Greg Price in
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/9-issues/topic/missing.20mention.
We add the same code that we use in do_send_messages to calculate the
updated mentions_user_ids. We add some tests alongside other user group
mention tests in test_bugdown.
This adds a webhook that can be used to interpret standard Slack
payloads. Since there are a ton of existing Slack integrations out
there, having a webhook which can accept standard Slack payloads can
significantly ease transition pains. Obviously this can't do everything
that Slack payloads can (particularly WRT their widgets/interactions),
but we can ingest text and parse out multi-block payloads into a message
relatively reasonably.
Currently when the user uploads files with ".jpe" file extension, the

These changes should be included in bd9b74436c,
as it makes sure that Zulip limited plan realm won't be able to change the
`message_retention_days` setting.
Since production testing of `message_retention_days` is finished, we can
enable this feature in the organization settings page. We already had this
setting in frontend but it was bit rotten and not rendered in templates.
Here we replaced our past text-input based setting with a
dropdown-with-text-input setting approach which is more consistent with our
existing UI.
Along with frontend changes, we also incorporated a backend change to
handle making retention period forever. This change introduces a new
convertor `to_positive_or_allowed_int` which only allows positive integers
and an allowed value for settings like `message_retention_days` which can
be a positive integer or has the value `Realm.RETAIN_MESSAGE_FOREVER` when
we change the setting to retain message forever.
This change made `to_not_negative_int_or_none` redundant so removed it as
well.
Fixes: #14854
It's a preliminary step to enable message_retention_setting in org settings
UI, which is a non-limited plan only feature. So we require a page_param

edit and move the topics of 7 days old messages.
This buggy behaviour is now removed as in this
commit.

New path() function changed the way a regex pattern
is created from urls - it adds escape backslashes,
so for testing purposes we need to take care of them
and remove them, to check if urls were tested.
Additionaly, regex patterns from urls can have
[^/]+ instead of [^/]*, so we need to take care
of it too.
We no longer have intermediate constants of
`git_described` and `zulip_version_const`.
Instead, we make a `deployment_data` dictionary
that is grep-friendly, and we just let
`deployment_repr` do simple formatting
without translating string constants.
This is pretty easy to test:
- set DEBUG_ERROR_REPORTING = True
- modify some code to throw an exception
- see error output in #errors
- use "/emails" with text-only option to view
errors
This code was bitrotted--we no longer have a file
called `version`.
The info that was probably reported when that feature
was originally written probably lives now
in `zulip-git-version`, although I didn't research
all the history here. Here is the relevant
excerpt from `version.py`:
zulip_git_version_file = os.path.join(
os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)),
'zulip-git-version')
if os.path.exists(zulip_git_version_file):
with open(zulip_git_version_file) as f:
version = f.read().strip()
if version:
ZULIP_VERSION = version
The file gets written as follows:
$ cat tools/cache-zulip-git-version
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
cd "$(dirname "$0")/.."
git describe --tags --match='[0-9]*' > zulip-git-version || true
Here is what that might look like:
2.2-dev-2102-gf256ea39eb
Here is an excerpt from one of our recent error reports,
which demonstrates that the code I eliminated here was not
functioning (the third field is missing):
Deployed code:
- git: 2.2-dev-2028-g99ce96d49b-dirty
- ZULIP_VERSION: 2.2-dev-2028-g99ce96d49b
This fixes the main problem reported on #7868. I think
we may just want to close the issue, since the other
`nocoverage` stuff seems harmless to me.
Previously api_description and api_code_examples were two independent
markdown extensions for displaying OpenAPI content used in the same
places. We combine them into a single markdown extension (with two
processors) and move them to the openapi folder to make the codebase
more readable and better group the openapi code in the same place.
Instread of using stream_name + Intergers as topics, we now
generate topics using pos in `config.generate_data.json`.
This helps us create and test more realistic topics.
For realms with no retention policy on themselves or any of their
streams, no archiving happens, but 3 lines of logs would be generated.
That's redundant and we make changes in this commit to avoid logging
those lines if nothing of interest is happening.

Previously, hanging_lists preprocessor didn't consider anything
indented at 4 or above spaces to be a list. This meant that when
we had a list like:
1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
2. 2a
1. 1a
We would insert a newline between 3. 3 and 2. 2a. This resulted
in the block processor breaeking down 1 list into 2 blocks, which
messed up the nesting and indentation for the second block.
We've had bugs in the past where users with a name in the format
"Alice|999" would confuse our markdown rendering or typeahead. While
that's a fully solvable problem, there's no real use case for that, so
it's probably simpler to just prevent users from setting their name
that way.
Fixes#13923.
Prior to this change, there were reports of 500s in
production due to `export.extra_data` being a
Nonetype. This was reproducible using the s3
backend in development when a row was created in
the `RealmAuditLog` table, but the export failed in
the `DeferredWorker`. This left an entry lying
about that was never updated with an `extra_data`
field.
To fix this, we catch any exceptions in the
`DeferredWorker`, and then update `extra_data` to
encode the failure. We also fix the fact that we
never updated the export UI table with pending exports.
These changes also negated the use for the somewhat
hacky `clear_success_banner` logic.
This will give help up write new digest only if the db rebuild
succeeds. We were relying on the caller to
be successful in building db, this was hacky and unreliable.
We write new db digest once the caller succeeds, this ensures
that we write new digest after every successful attempt.
This fixes the anomality we were facing that Databases were rebuild
on the 2nd provision attempt with no changes to files or migrations.
This was happening because we didn't write a new digest for db
after the first provision (The case of DB didn't exist).
During the 1st provision, we check the template_status() of
Database both Dev and Test, but database_exists() of Databases
obviously returned false, and we rebuild the database,
but forgot to write_new_digest and hence the anomaly in the
second provision explained above.
This ensures that if one deletes `zproject/dev-secrets.conf`, we end
up rebuilding the databases from scratch (which, critically, will
ensure the password that gets setup matches what's in the current
version of the configuration file).
This should address a category of issue we've had where deleting
`zproject/dev-secrets.conf` would result in provision failing.
The logic in do_set_realm_property would previously "change" the email
addrssees of every user in the realm, even if they hadn't actually
changed.
We fix this by skipping the logic when it's unnecessary.
bulk_update is used to update the email of user_profile objects in
database when email_address_visibility is changed.
This helps resolve the problem of timeout errors in realms with large
number of users due to large number of database queries run in a
loop.
Since bulk_update doesn't flush caches, we need our own bit of code to
do that.
Fixes a part of #14600.
