We allow clients to make existing streams web public via the API.
This feature is still disabled via settings in production
environments, because we may have additional policy rules or UI
warnings we wish to add to this sort of conversion.
User can now create web public stream via the /subscribe API.
So, when a web public stream present in the API request does not
exist, it will be created now by specifying the is_web_public
parameter. The parameter would have been ignored without this
commit.
Sometime in the deep past, Zulip the GET /users/me/subscriptions
endpoint started returning subscribers. We noticed this and made it
optional via the include_subscribers parameter in
1af72a2745, however, we didn't notice
that they were being returned as emails rather than user IDs.
We migrated the core /register code paths to use subscriber IDs years
ago; this change completes that for the endpoints we forgot about.
The documentation allowed this error because we apparently had no
tests for this code path that used the actual API.
This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
JsonableError has two major benefits over json_error:
* It can be raised from anywhere in the codebase, rather than
being a return value, which is much more convenient for refactoring,
as one doesn't potentially need to change error handling style when
extracting a bit of view code to a function.
* It is guaranteed to contain the `code` property, which is helpful
for API consistency.
Various stragglers are not updated because JsonableError requires
subclassing in order to specify custom data or HTTP status codes.
Further commits will start locking the message rows while
adding related fields like reactions or submessages,
to handle races caused by deleting the message itself at the
same time.
The message locking implemented then will create a possibility
of deadlocks, where the related field transaction holds a lock
on the message row, and the message-delete transaction holds a
lock on the database row of the related field (which will also
need to be deleted when the message is deleted), and both
transactions wait for each other.
To prevent such a deadlock, we lock the message itself while
it is being deleted, so that the message-delete transaction
will have to wait till the other transaction (which is about
to delete the related field, and also holds a lock on the
message row) commits.
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/near/1185943 has more details.
* Remove unnecessary json_validator for string parameters.
* Update frontend to pass right parameter.
Bump api feature level and highlight the fix for `emojiset`
parameter of `settings/display` endpoint in zulip.yaml file.
Fixes part of #18035.
Remove unnecessary json_validator for string parameters. This change
does not modify JavaScript because we don't have a frontend for these
API endpoints yet.
Fixes part of #18035.
django.utils.translation.ugettext is a deprecated alias of
django.utils.translation.gettext as of Django 3.0, and will be removed
in Django 4.0.

We keep the error message same for all cases when a user is not
allowed to subscribe others for all values of invite_to_stream_policy.
We raise error with different message for guest cases because it
is handled by decorators. We aim to change this behavior in future.
Explaining the details in error message isn't much important as
we do not show errors probably in API only, as we do not the show
the options itself in the frontend.
This makes it much more clear that this feature does JSON encoding,
which previously was only indicated in the documentation.

The moderators-only option was actually added in the previous
commit for create_stream_policy as we use the same function
'has_permission' for both the policies. But we add the error
handling code and tests for moderators-only option in this
commit.
This class removes a lot of the annoying tuples
we were passing around.
Also, by including the user everywhere, which
is easily available to us when we make instances
of SubInfo, it sets the stage to remove
select_related('user_profile').
This is a pure extraction, except that I remove a
redundant check that `len(principals) > 0`. Whenever
that value is false, then `new_subscriptions` will
only have one possible entry, which is the current
user, and we skip that in the loop.
I think it's important that the callers understand
that bulk_add_subscriptions assumes all streams
are being created within a single realm, so I make
it an explicit parameter.
This may be overkill--I would also be happy if we
just included the assertions from this commit.
We modify access_stream_for_delete_or_update function to return
Subscription object also along with stream. This change will be
helpful in avoiding an extra query to get subscription object in
code for updating subscription role.
For web-public streams, clients can access full topic history
without being authenticated. They only need to additionally
send "streams:web-public" narrow with their request like all
the other web-public queries.
The new Stream administrator role is allowed to manage a stream they
administer, including:
* Setting properties like name, description, privacy and post-policy.
* Removing subscribers
* Deactivating the stream
The access_stream_for_delete_or_update is modified and is used only
to get objects from database and further checks for administrative
rights is done by check_stream_access_for_delete_or_update.
We have also added a new exception class StreamAdministratorRequired.
This commit modifies the /streams endpoint so that the web-public
streams are included in the default list of streams that users
have access to.
This is part of PR #14638 that aims to allow guest users to
browse and subscribe themselves to web public streams.
Now we are consistent about validating color/description.
Ideally we wouldn't need to validate the
`streams_raw` parameters multiple times per
request, but the outer function here changes
the error messages to explicitly reference
the "delete" and "add" request variables.
And for the situation where the user-supplied
parameters are correct, the performance penalty
for checking them twice is extremely negligible.
So it's probably fine for now to just make sure
we use the same validators in all the relevant
places.
There's probably some deeper refactor that we
can do to eliminate the whole `compose_views`
scheme. And it's also not entirely clear to
me that we really need to support the update
endpoint. But that's all out of the scope of
this commit.
