Due to the refactoring of the avatar URL codepath that added realm IDs
to the URLs, we ended up calling `get_user_profile_by_email` inside
`get_avatar_url`, which in turns was called in a loop over all users
in a realm.
Needless to say, this resulted in a significant performance problem.
We fix this issue by passing in the data needed to compute the avatar
URL, rather than looking it up by email address.
Modify the `bot_list` to hold all the bots owned by an user
irrespective of whether the bot is active or inactive. Also
include the `is_active` field in `active_bot_dict_fields` to
distinguish between inactive and active bots.
Our client code will now receive avatar_url in
page_params.people_list during page load, so it will be
able to use more current urls for old messages (the client
already had some logic for that and was just missing the
data).
We also add avatar_url to the realm_user/add event.
When we change the avatar, we make sure to always send a
realm_user/update event (even for bots).
We also needed to add avatar_version and
avatar_source to our active users cache.
There is a change in Django 1.10 due to which whenever the password
of the user is changed the session hash changes. This change affects
us because we cache user profile objects and these cached objects need
to be refreshed. However, the signal sent by Django in which objects are
refreshed fails to refresh the cache for Tornado because it uses a
different cache prefix.
Note: Backend tests are not affected because they don't rely on Tornado.
This change adds support for displaying inline open graph previews for
links posted into Zulip.
It is designed to interact correctly with message editing.
This adds the new settings.INLINE_URL_EMBED_PREVIEW setting to control
whether this feature is enabled.
By default, this setting is currently disabled, so that we can burn it
in for a bit before it impacts users more broadly.
Eventually, we may want to make this manageable via a (set of?)
per-realm settings. E.g. I can imagine a realm wanting to be able to
enable/disable it for certain URLs.
Previously, the key prefix was based on the process id due to which
the JS tests couldn't properly flush user profiles from the cache as
our application spans over multiple processes. This problem becomes
apparent when in json_change_settings view after changing the user_profile
the tornado views continue to get the cached user profile corresponding
to their process id.
I move these three functions to lib/cache.py:
to_dict_cache_key_id
to_dict_cache_key
flush_message
This will prepare us for a more significant refactoring that
eventually breaks down some circular dependencies with
Message and bugdown.
Our flush functions update user profile cache entries which can cause
confusing race conditions (see e.g. #1257). To resolve this, we move
all the user_profile flush functions to delete the entry instead of
updating it -- it will then be fetched as part of the next request
that needs to access the user object.
There are still races here, and there is perhaps an argument that a
better fix for this would be to re-fetch the object and then put it
into the cache, but this resolves the main cache correctness problem
we had with the previous implementation.
Fixes: #1322.
Originally this cache was used to transmit data from Django to Tornado
(and also for general message caching purposes), but now nothing
actually reads from this cache, so we can eliminate it.
Due to a cyclic dependency issue, functions having models as parameters
were annotated as Any.
That issue is fixed by importing models inside an `if False:` block,
so that mypy sees them but they are not imported at runtime.
In update_user_profile_caches, the return type in annotation was
marked as Any. Change that to None because, nothing is being returned
in that function.
This changes the type annotations for the cache keys in Zulip to be
consistently text_type, and updates the annotations for values that
are used as cache keys across the codebase.
[Substantially revised by tabbott]
This probably still has some bugs in it, but having mostly complete
annotations for models.py will help a lot for the annotations folks
are adding to other files.
The old code for this lookup was unnecessarily complicated because we
were working around Guardian, where the `is_realm_admin` check was
extremely expensive.
Previously we relied on having two matching list of fields for the
get_active_user_dicts_in_realm, one in the actual code and the other
in the caching system. By unifying these lists to have a single
source, we eliminate a class of caching bugs we might otherwise
regularly introduce.
