This fixes the original issue that #5598 was the root cause of; when
the user returns to a Zulip browser tab after they've been idle past
the timeout (10 min, per IDLE_EVENT_QUEUE_TIMEOUT_SECS), we now
correctly reload the page even if they're using Zulip in German or
another non-English language where we have a translation for the
relevant error message.
All JsonableError subclasses now have corresponding ErrorCode values
of their own, reducing the number of different patterns for using
the new JsonableError API.
This provides the main infrastructure for fixing #5598. From here,
it's a matter of on the one hand upgrading exception handlers -- the
many except-blocks in the codebase that look for JsonableError -- to
look beyond the string `msg` and pass on the machine-readable full
error information to their various downstream recipients, and on the
other hand adjusting places where we raise errors to take advantage
of this mechanism to give the errors structured details.
In an ideal future, I think all exception handlers that look (or
should look) for a JsonableError would use its contents in structured
form, never mentioning `msg`; but the majority of error sites might
continue to just instantiate JsonableError with a string message. The
latter is the simplest thing to do, and probably most error types will
never have code looking for them specifically.
Because the new API refactors the `to_json_error_msg` method which was
designed for subclasses to override, update the 4 subclasses that did
so to take full advantage of the new API instead.
This simplifies things for all codepaths not involving this feature.
Using this feature becomes slightly easier when you're already
defining a subclass, but now requires you to define a subclass.
Currently we use it just once out of >100 uses of JsonableError, and
that use already has a subclass, so this seems like a win.
With #5598 there will soon be an application-level error code
optionally associated with a `JsonableError`, so rename this
field to make clear that it specifically refers to an
HTTP status code.
Also take this opportunity to eliminate most of the places
that refer to it, which only do so to repeat the default value.
The file `zerver/lib/request.py` doesn't have type annotations
of its own; if they did, they would duplicate the annotations that
exist in its stub file `zerver/lib/request.pyi`. The latter exists
so that we can provide types for the highly dynamic `REQ` and
`has_request_variables`, which are beyond the type-checker's ken
to type-check, but we should minimize the scope of code that gets
that kind of treatment and `JsonableError` is not at all the sort of
code that needs it.
So move the definition of `JsonableError` into a file that does
get type-checked.
In doing so, the type-checker points out one issue already:
`__str__` should return a `str`, but we had it returning a `Text`,
which on Python 2 is not the same thing. Indeed, because the
message we pass to the `JsonableError` constructor is generally
translated, it may well be a Unicode string stuffed full of
non-ASCII characters. This is potentially a bit of a landmine.
But (a) it can only possibly matter in Python 2 which we intend to
be off before long, and (b) AFAIK it hasn't been biting us in
practice, so we've probably reasonably well worked around it where
it could matter. Leave it as is.
The whole thing is an error, so "message" is a more apt word for the
error message specifically. We abbreviate that as `msg` in the actual
HTTP responses and in the signatures of `json_error` and friends, so
do the same here.
In order to benefit from the modern conveniences of type-checking,
add concrete, non-Any types to the interface for JsonableError.
Relatedly, there's no need at this point to duck-type things at
the places where we receive a JsonableError and try to use it.
Simplify those by using straightforward standard typing.
This fixes some error message strings and skips converting request_data
into json. From now, conversion would be the responsibility of interface.
Also, base_url is now not passed into event structure.
Splitting bot_lib.py file into 2 files led to unnecessary
redirection of the code workflow. For an embedded bot/service to
send a reply, it was being redirected 3 times.
First, the code flow comes to "EmbeddedBotHandler" class to send
reply, then it goes to the common function in "zulip_bots/lib.py",
then it would come back to "EmbeddedBotHandler". Later on, if we
create an abstract class, from where the bot work flow would
directly hit and then from there it is classified into
EmbeddedBotHandler or ExternalBotHandler and accordingly it would
get redirected.
Now, first the bot flow goes to it's handler class External or
Embedded (where we pass that this is External or Embedded bot as
parameter) and then goes to a common point and then comes back to
the same class.
This is required, since we just reorganized the python-zulip-api
repository into 3 packages.
A nice side effect is that we get to eliminate some now-unnecessary
code for editing sys.path.
In most cases, we do have the data for which other user was
responsible for subscribing the target user to new streams.
The main case where we don't is when the user is created and gets the
default streams.
ScheduledJob was written for much more generality than it ended up being
used for. Currently it is used by send_future_email, and nothing
else. Tailoring the model to emails in particular will make it easier to do
things like selectively clear emails when people unsubscribe from particular
email types, or seamlessly handle using the same email on multiple realms.
Both the queue processor and ScheduledJob emails need to sometimes pass a
to_user_id and sometimes pass a to_email, and it's more convenient to just
have one function that they can call that can handle either.
Also removes the now redundant send_email_to_user.
