This keeps the examples in line with our actual codebase.
Also while I'm here revise it to explain the actual motivation for our
use of `env`, and to correct some subtle details -- it's actually the
kernel that interprets the shebang (as visible in e.g. a `strace` log),
not the shell, and when the program is executed as `./my_program.py`
the exact name including `./` is passed to the interpreter.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
This works fine in my testing -- I followed it on a fresh `trusty` VM,
after just getting SSL certs with our LetsEncrypt instructions, and
the install completed successfully.
And in the source tree, the only evidence I can find of a potential
remaining dependency on the `/root/zulip` path is the Nagios config in
`puppet/zulip_ops/`. That's actually already broken, in that it
depends on `/root/zulip/api/`, so we'll have to sort that out;
and in any case, it doesn't matter to most people installing Zulip.
Add a mention that the install script will move the just-unpacked
directory out from under you. While we're here, add a few words about
where the deployed code is laid out.
Text of those last words tweaked by tabbott.
This follows up on 207cf6302 from last year to clean up cases that
have apparently popped up since then. Invoking the scripts directly
makes a cleaner command line in any case, and moreover is essential
to how we control running a Zulip install as either Python 2 or 3
(soon, how we always ensure it runs as Python 3.)
One exception: we're currently forcing `provision` in dev to run
Python 3, while still running both Python 2 and Python 3 jobs in CI.
We use a non-shebang invocation to do the forcing of Python 3.
Since we're auto-detecting the value anyway, there's no reason it
can't be moved to DEFAULT_SETTINGS.
This lets us remove some clutter from the installation documentation.
This field is convenient for bankruptcy checks. Clients could
calculate it from page_params.unread_msgs before this change, but
it would kind of a painful calculation.
To add count, we had to simplify the mypy annotations, which weren't
really accurate before.
Update Email, Beanstalk, Hubot, JIRA, and Trello integrations
links.
The Hubot integrations section (/integrations#hubot-integrations)
was removed in an earlier redesign of /integrations. This commit
replaces the link with the hubot-scripts organization on
Github, which displays the comprehensive list of all integrations
available via Hubot.
Fixes#5875.
In some of these contexts, we may still be *using* the Python 2
version, but at least this should eliminate running into
`ImportError`s one by one in scripts that run outside a virtualenv,
as we update their shebangs to refer to Python 3.
Several Python libraries we use don't come in Python 3 versions on
trusty: gevent, boto, twisted, django, django-tagging, whisper.
The latter two don't come in Python 3 versions even on xenial.
So some work required before we can actually switch the code that
relies on those libraries to run as Python 3 -- probably the best
solution will be to backport them all in our apt repo. (All but
`whisper` are packaged in zesty; `whisper` upstream just grew Python 3
support this year.)
We are phasing out the following in tests:
add_dependencies - this is just kind of a clunky UI
require - normal JS requires cause test leaks
In order to plug require leaks, we are effectively doing what
we always have done inside of add_dependencies, which is to
keep track of which modules we have done `require` on, and
these get cleared between tests.
Now we just use `zrequire` every time we want to pull in real
code to our global namespace.
I think soon we'll put the Python 3 venv at `/srv/zulip-venv` and
make `/srv/zulip-py3-venv` just an alias to that (then remove the
alias too), but for now the old name is helpful for spotting places
that need an update.
The `/srv/zulip-venv` name still appears in codepaths used by Travis
tests.
From the line in tools/provision it should trickle to the rest of the
scripts. This works since almost all the python scripts have been linted
to be generic.
Proof that the setup is python3 only: with this commit, within the
vagrant container env, /srv/zulip-venv is no longer present and
`./tools/run-dev.py` runs just fine.
[gnprice: Added `rm -f` and warning message, and made small edits.]
This makes supervisor see the service as cheerfully running
and let it alone, rather than constantly retry starting it.
Because the crash/restart loop means repeatedly spending a
couple of seconds loading Django and the app, separated by
brief periods while supervisor notices the crash and acts
on it, it was actually consuming about 30-50% CPU on the
zulipchat.com staging server.
This pulls together what's covered in detail in several
longer pages, and gives us a page that can serve as a good
drop-in replacement for https://zulip.org/server.html .
Also tweak a couple of related bits for clarity and orthography.
We are adding a new list of unread message ids grouped by
conversation to the queue registration result. This will allow
clients to show accurate unread badges without needing to load an
unbound number of historic messages.
Jason started this commit, and then Steve Howell finished it.
We only identify conversations using stream_id/user_id info;
we may need a subsequent version that includes things like
stream names and user emails/names for API clients that don't
have data structures to map ids -> attributes.
After editing this file for the previous commit, I couldn't unsee
"low-traffic the". So I fixed that, saw more issues, and then just
went through the page for everything that was similarly trivial to fix.
This allow the webbpack dev server to properly reload JavaScript modules
while running in dev without restarting the server. We need to connect
to webpack-dev-server directly because SockJS doesn't support more than
one connection on the same host/port.
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.
This new setting controls whether or not users are allowed to see the
edit history in a Zulip organization. It controls access through 2
key mechanisms:
* For long-ago edited messages, get_messages removes the edit history
content from messages it sends to clients.
* For newly edited messages, clients are responsible for checking the
setting and not saving the edit history data. Since the webapp was
the only client displaying it before this change, this just required
some changes in message_events.js.
Significantly modified by tabbott to fix some logic bugs and add a
test.
This commit does the following things:
* Instead of using a manual tool for downloading sprite sheets, use
`emoji-datasource` npm package.
* Modify the `build_emoji` script to use sprite sheets from the npm
package.
Bumps PROVISION_VERSION.
Fixes: #4730.
NPM packages should be installed at the beginning of the provisioning
process so that later in the provisioning process if a script requires
any NPM package it can use it. Earlier, we were installing NPM packages
in the last as the installation process can fail due to network issues
but since we now retry in case the installation fails, they can be
installed safely at the beginning of the process as well just like apt
packages.
In this commit we basically start to override the request method of
httplib2.Http() to raise an exception whenever it is called i.e.
a trial is made to access the network from test suits.
Fixes: #1472.
This old third party library added support
for a "mousewheel" event to detect scrolling.
However, it is not compatible with jQuery 3
and is obsolete now that there is a standard
"wheel" event that accomplishes the same thing.
I found the new paragraph from 74d83cc47 somewhat hard to follow,
so here's another version. Also try to make the structure of
the rest of the section around it somewhat more clear.
This commit adds a new linter which runs from tools/travis/backend.
It runs over the translations.json file and checks if any of the
translatable string contains handlebars in it.
Fixes#5544
This started as a PSA in the form of a series of chat messages in
`#general` on chat.zulip.org; putting them here, with some editing,
to make their value more durable.
Also rearrange this doc slightly so that it's not specific to
the server codebase, except in a few explicit spots.
The bit that's for authors should probably be somewhere else.
I think there isn't right now a great natural spot for it --
probably the top of docs/git-guide, some parts of docs/version-control,
and that paragraph here should all turn into a top-level "guide
to submitting code to Zulip" doc, which would link to the rest
of docs/git-guide and to some other resources. Leaving that
for another day.
This follows up the recent commit
3d1d09b3d docs: Remove discussion of old Django templating engine.
with a small grammar fix and removing another vestige of making the
distinction between Jinja2 and Django templates, and also rearranges
the logic slightly to reflect that backend and frontend templates
have separate sections.
Probably a bigger restructuring is in order to help the reader
navigate through all the good content in this doc, but that's
a bigger job for another day.
- Remove `perfect-scrollbar` from `static/third` and fetch it from npm.
- Upgrade `perfect-scrollbar` to 0.7.1.
- Bump up the `PROVISION_VERSION` to 5.6.
Changed `wheelSpeed` in "static/js/scroll_bar.js" to 0.5, because when it
20, the scrollbar scrolls very fast.
Changed 'wheelSpeed' in "static/js/emoji_picker.js" from 25 to 0.68
(based on tabbott's testing of scrolling through the emoji list).
Part of #1709.
Introduce Swagger UI and the Swagger/OpenAPI specification. Explain
the structure of zulip.yaml and show examples of different sections
of the file.
This is a new file in /docs not yet included in the Read the Docs
table of contents. Where it should go should be determined as we iterate
on the Swagger UI integration and expand REST API doc coverage using it.
For more on Swagger UI and how Zulip uses it, see:
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/3474https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/3397
With some minor tweaks to advertise this by tabbott.
The formatting was coming out pretty badly on readthedocs,
and also I think the exposition could be a little clearer.
I still don't love how the formatting comes out, but
I think this is pretty OK.
There were 2 things wrong here:
(1) The new emoji cache directories weren't being created properly
(2) We weren't downloading the new emoji sprite sheets.
I think based on this experience, we should definitely invest in
moving more platforms to use provision.py.
Fixes#5160.
I faced this problem many a times, might be of help to
beginners. Because, the same thing doesn't work when done through
`vagrant suspend` followed by `vagrant up`.
