The autoreload code of Django works by looping over the files associated
with all the loaded modules. This loop is run after every 1 second. If
the file is found for the first time by the loop, it is assumed that the
file is new and is not modified between the time it is loaded and is
checked by the loop. This assumption is the source of a race condition.
We can either implement a more sensitive version of the loop or we can
just allow enough time to the Django loop to touch every file at least
once.
For the time being, we are going with the second option.
Previously, there were following problems with the implmentation:
* Same file handle was being used to read and write. We used to do
`seek(0)` and then `read()`. This had a chance to overwrite
file data. Now we use different file handles to read and write data.
* We were using text streams. Text streams cannot be used with
`bufferring=0`. Now we use binary streams without buffering so that
data is available for reading without any delay.
This commit also updates the key(s) that we search in the logfile.
Previously, launch of all queues was announced in the log, now we only
anounce the number of threads that were launched.
This commit also makes sure that we always exit after gracefull shutting
down the development server.

This commit just copies all the code from MissedMessageSendingWorker
class to a new EmailSendingWorker class. All the logic to send an email
through a queue was already there. This commit only makes the logic
generic. It does so by creating a special purpose queue called
'email_senders' to send any type of email. To make
MissedMessageSendingWorker still work we derive it from
EmailSendingWorker. All the tests that were testing
MissedMessageSendingWorker now run against EmailSendingWorker.
We get the following error (edited slightly):
Dec 19 06:13:27 commit_messages| An error occurred while executing
'/usr/bin/git rev-list --max-count=-1 upstream/master..HEAD':
fatal: ambiguous argument 'upstream/master..HEAD':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
We'll need to adjust the remotes to make `upstream` mean what we expect.
This isn't really the right way to do this -- commit
dcd80e665 "travis/setup-backend: Remove the '--travis' flag"
took us in the wrong direction by introducing more magic, deeper in
the stack.
But it's the same way we do it for Travis. For now, just copy that.
[Thanks to hackerkid for cleaning up my original crude hack.]
At this point if we were accidentally using `/srv/zulip-venv` for
anything, we'd have run into it by now. So just drop the bit of
historical logic that we had to ensure that.
This reverts commit 66261f1cc. See parent commit for reason; here,
provision worked but `tools/run-dev.py` would give errors.
We need to figure out a test that reproduces these issues, then make a
version of these changes that keeps that test working, before we
re-merge them.
We should omit these for mypy. For most class definitions,
mypy doesn't need `Any`, and it provides no real useful info.
For clever monkeypatches, you should provide a more specific
type than `Any`.
These commands are super boring standard Docker commands,
so this probably isn't helpful for anyone who is familiar
with building Docker images... but I had to consult docs
to work out the right commands again today, so they'd help me.
Provision was failing at tools/setup/postgres-init-dev-db
with this in the log:
Sep 20 02:27:01 + sudo -i -u postgres psql ''
[sudo] password for circleci:
The issue is that the old version of this line (from Circle upstream)
only lets the `circleci` user sudo to root -- not to other users, or
not directly anyway -- because sudoers syntax is complicated. Fix it,
after studying `man sudoers`.
This is only an optimization -- if this list is missing anything,
we'll get to it in `provision` in the actual build. That's important,
because we want an existing image to work fine for testing new
versions of our codebase, including changes that may install more
packages in `provision`.
What this does accomplish is keeping provision's `apt-get install`
fast, by leaving it very little work to do.
The list comes from looking at the APT output during provision in an
actual run without this step, and leaving out two packages which
aren't available at this stage, because we get them from PPAs:
postgresql-9.3-pgroonga and postgresql-9.3-tsearch-extras.
Install `jq` with APT -- that's a lot simpler to read than this
explicit download.
And coalesce several commands, following Docker upstream's
recommendation and avoiding unnecessary overhead.
This is nearly the same as Circle's version, linked in the comment.
I've
* changed the FROM line to get Ubuntu,
* added a couple of distro packages to compensate, and
* revised the comments.
This seems to have been causing the travis production suite to fail.
It's a direct consequence of removing travis' giant library of apt
sources.list files; now that those are gone, there aren't copies of
all these extra packages available anyway.
This method was new in Tornado 4.0. It saves us from having to get
the time ourselves and do the arithmetic -- which not only makes the
code a bit shorter, but also easier to get right. Tornado docs (see
http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ioloop.html) say we should have
been getting the time from `ioloop.time()` rather than hardcoding
`time.time()`, because the loop could e.g. be running on the
`time.monotonic()` clock.
tools/setup/generate_zulip_bots_static_files now starts off by
deleting static/generated/bots/ (if it hasn't been removed already)
so that outdated static files from older versions of the zulip_bots
package don't supress errors in the main repo that would otherwise
break.
For more info, see #7542Fixes: #7542.
The `re.match` function in the Python stdlib is a trap for the unwary,
with surprising and asymmetrical semantics; we should probably add a
lint rule to ban it entirely. The docstring says:
> Try to apply the pattern at the start of the string, [...]
In other words, it effectively adds a `^` at the start (or `\A`, where
the distinction matters.) It's bad enough that this differs from what
grep, sed, perl, less, and every other tool I can think of do when
looking for matches to a regex; on top of that, it treats the
beginning of the string differently from the end, for no obvious
reason. The function that does what the rest of the world understands
by "match against this regex" is `re.search`.
In this case, it's unlikely that anyone intended for comments with
URLs, or `api_url` references, to miss out on their respective
exceptions to the long-line rule if they happen to start after the
first column. So fix those rules by just switching to `re.search`
with the same pattern.
I think Markdown URL references may have to start at the beginning of
the line, so I've left a `^` there to preserve -- but now make
explicit -- the `re.match` behavior.
Tweaked by tabbott to move changes from the next commit that are
required for this to pass tests into this commit.
Note that this exports a few items that were not previously exported.
This is part of our efforts to change our integrations/webhooks
docs to follow the same sort of numbered-list format as our /help
docs. In order to indicate that paragraphs separated by newlines
are part of the same numbered-list point, every paragraph must be
indented 4 spaces.
This both improves the comment to be more readable, and also uses the
new and improved exclude feature to limit the exclusion to just the
webhook fixtures (where it's needed).
Also fixes a mypy error.
The previous exclude rules only allowed excluding a directory (and
things in subdirectories would silently still be linted). Anyone
using this would expect it to exclude a directory tree, so we make it
do that.
The readthedocs theme overrides a few settings in their layout template.
We might want to change some settings back to their default values.
This commit copies the original readthedocs layout file from
https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/blob/master/sphinx_rtd_theme/layout.html
to _templates/layout.html, and excludes it from lint and template checks.
Addresses #7417.
This fixes a bug where, when a user is unsubscribed from a stream,
they might have unread messages on that stream leak. While it might
seem to be a minor problem, it can cause significant problems for
computing the `unread_msgs` data structures, since it means we need to
add an extra filter for whether the user is still subscribed, either
in the backend or in the UI.
Fixes#7095.
This commit modifies `test-locked-requirements` to use some caching
so that we don't need to use the `update-locked-requirements` tool
everytime for checking the validity of locked requirements as it is
slow.
Fixes: #6969.
This commit renames various source requirements files like `dev.txt`,
`mypy.txt` etc to `dev.in`, `mypy.in` etc and various locked requirements
files like `dev_lock.txt`, `mypy_lock.txt` etc to `dev.txt`, `mypy.txt`
etc. This will help in emphasizing to the user that *.in are actually
input to `update-locked-requirements` tool which should be run after
updating any of these.
This often can cause minor caching problems.
Obviously, it'd be better if we had access to the AST and thus could
do this rule for UserProfile objects in general.
This prevents the caches in /srv from growing to fill up the disk --
e.g., on my laptop after 6 months of regular development the venv cache
was 12G and the NPM cache 5G, making them by far the largest disk hogs
on the machine.
It costs about 0.4s, apart from any time spent actually removing
things. This is a little annoyingly slow to be adding to every
provision, and seems like it could be optimized, but I think already
worth it as is.
We already do this by default in tools/build-docs, but since we
migrated test-documentation to not run that directly (to disable
collapsing), we need to add the recent parallelism fix here too.
It saves about 5-10s when running this test suite for me, which is
good, but definitely leaves me feeling like there could be more
improvement.
In this commit we add new dependencies needed for running thumbor.
Also we add the script for creating the virtual environment ready
for thumbor.
Note: Thumbor will use python2 and thus have different virtualenv
dedicated to it.
Credits to @TigorC and @joshland as well for there work on this.
In this commit we add a new option which could be used to specify
python version. When 'py2' is specified, future/futures are not
removed from the requirements lock file generated.
Even where this is actually used for a temporary checkout, it obscures
the relationship between this and $TMPDIR -- and some of our logic
depends on that. In other places, it isn't actually even a checkout.
In all cases, the expanded version is clearer.
This script, and tools/update-prod-static which it relies on,
have kept getting more complex since this conditional was added
in 2013, and the places we rely on GNU features have probably
multiplied beyond `mktemp -d`. It's unlikely this works on
macOS with BSD tools now, and it'd be hard to maintain that way
if it did; drop the pretense.
There's no need to remove this file here -- the whole tree will be
removed a few commands later, and the `tar` command we do first, to
supplement our tarball with various generated files, is quite
selective and wouldn't look at this file anyway.
With the new portico work we've done, the help documentation does
sorta depend on the database if you're logged in. So it's best to
just require it for these tests.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.
This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.
Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).
Fixes#5265.
The CSS linter was pretty hard to reason about. It was
pretty flexible about certain things, but then it would
prevent seemingly innocuous code from getting checked in.
This commit overhauls the pretty-printer to be more composable,
where every object in the AST knows how to render itself. It
also cleans up a little bit of the pre_fluff/post_fluff logic
in the parser itself, so comments are more likely to be "attached"
to the AST node that make sense.
The linter is actually a bit more finicky about newlines, but
this is mostly a good thing, as most of the variations before
this commit were pretty arbitrary.
This adds the "--disallow-any=generics" option to run-mypy, which no
longer permits:
- inheriting from "list"; use "List[sometype]" (or a TypeVar)
- generic types with no following square brackets specifying the type
(even if initially 'Any')
Any (and '...' for Callable) is a lot easier to search for than an
absence of square brackets, and should improve overall typing quality.
In addition to decreasing the excessive number of bundles we had, this
will set us up to fix rendering of code blocks when clicking the
sidebar links in the /api-new site.
This commit allows for the /api-new/ page to rendered similarly to our
/help pages. It's based on the old content for /api, but we're not
replacing the old content yet, to give a bit of time to restructure
things reasonably.
Tweaked by eeshangarg and tabbott.
The "subdomain" label is redundant, to the extent it's even
accurate -- this is really just the URL we want to display,
which may or may not involve a subdomain. Similarly "external".
The former `external_api_path_subdomain` was never a path -- it's a
host, followed by a path, which together form a scheme-relative URL.
I'm not quite convinced that value is actually the right thing in
2 of the 3 places we use it, but fixing that can start by giving an
accurate name to the thing we have.
I'd much rather see something like
if (thing_is_permissible(user, thing)
or (user_possesses_hammer(user)
and glass_break_requested(thing))):
than
if (thing_is_permissible(user, thing) or
(user_possesses_hammer(user) and
glass_break_requested(thing))):
because the former makes the overall logic much easier to scan.
Similarly for a formula full of arithmetic rather than Boolean
operators. And the actual PEP 8 agrees (though until 2016 it
unfortunately had the opposite advice.)
The upstream linter still applies the backward rule, so disable that.
This creates a dropdown in place of the normal register/login links
you get when logged out, with an option to go to the app or log out if
that appears you click on the avatar.
A bit more work is needed to make this look really good, but it's a
great start.
Sparkle was the auto-update system used by the legacy desktop app. We
haven't been capable of using it for auto-update in years, so there's
no reason to keep around the configuration.
The new Electron app uses a different system anyway.
Except in:
- docs/writing-bots-guide.md, because bots are supposed to be Python 2
compatible
- puppet/zulip_ops/files/zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces, because this
script is still on python2.7
- tools/lint
- tools/linter_lib
- tools/lister.py
For the latter two, because they might be yanked away to a separate repo
for general use with other FLOSS projects.
This should mean that maintaining two Zulip development environments
using the same Git checkout no longer has caching problems keeping
track of the migration status.
This didn't work at all when one did a `vagrant destroy` and then
`vagrant up`, because the cache state would be preserved even though
the machine is gone.
Fixes#5981.
This commit adds a test to check if the user forgot to run
`tools/update-locked-requirements` after updating dependencies.
Modified by tabbott to disable it by default, since it takes over a
minute to run.
Fixes: #6324.
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.
It appears the mongodb repo is not accessible by Travis CI right now.
This is sadly our problem, because Travis puts a bunch of crap in
their apt `sources.list` file, so `apt-get update` starts failing.
This function was extracted from build_user_sidebar(). We
also slightly streamlined it to not unnecessarily call
filter() when the filter text was blank. This extraction
also eliminated the need for us to have the two-line
filter_and_sort() function.
Also, we get to 100% coverage in this commit.
This lint rule has bitten me a couple of times in working on logging.
These regex rules will inevitably be heuristic, but we can make it a bit more
specific so that the heuristic mainly means it could occasionally miss
something, rather than get in the way with an obviously wrong complaint.
This has a ton of exclude rules, for two reasons:
(1) We haven't been particularly systematic about avoiding unnecessary
inline style in the past, so there's a lot of code we need to fix.
(2) There are cases where one wants to dynamically compute style
rules. For the latter category, ideally we'd figure out a way to
exclude these automatically (e.g. checking for mustache tags in the
style tag).
We just learned we should be using the "onlytranslated" mode of
Transifex. Since the command is getting a bit complex (and you need
to remember to run `makemessages` first), it makes sense to have a
tool for it.
Emojis which are represented by a sequence of codepoints or emojis
with ZWJ are not included until we implement a mechanism for dealing
with their unicode versions.
Fixes: #6279.
While running the mypy script we were not passing the `--force`
argument correctly to the run-mypy which was causing it complain
about provision status.
Tweaked by tabbott to not remove it from lister.py, linter_lib, and
friends, since those are intended to support both Python 2 and 3
(we're planning to extract them from the repository).
