When you click "Plan management", the desktop app opens
/self-hosted-billing/ in your browser immediately. So that works badly
if you're already logged into another account in the browser, since that
session will be used and it may be for a different user account than in
the desktop app, causing unintended behavior.
The solution is to replace the on click behavior for "Plan management"
in the desktop app case, to instead make a request to a new endpoint
/json/self-hosted-billing, which provides the billing access url in a
json response. The desktop app takes that URL and window.open()s it (in
the browser). And so a remote billing session for the intended user will
be obtained.
We already override PUSH_NOTIFICATION_BOUNCER_URL in
test_extra_settings.py, so making this change should have as its only
impact making it a bit easier to test the push notifications bouncer
manually in a development environment.
I submitted a related PR to the mobile app documentation for testing
the push notifications software against a production server motivated
by this.
See https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/6-frontend/topic/typing.20notifications.20efficiency/near/1664991.
As detailed in that discussion,
`TYPING_STARTED_EXPIRY_PERIOD_MILLISECONDS` and
`TYPING_STARTED_WAIT_PERIOD_MILLISECONDS` are coupled constants, and
the impact of them being large is mainly that if a user closes their
computer or loses network in the middle of typing something (not
exactly a common occasion), then the client will suggest they kept on
typing longer than they in fact did.
There's a substantial decrease in resources consumed by this feature
associated with raising `TYPING_STARTED_WAIT_PERIOD_MILLISECONDS`, so
that at least seems worth doing.
Meanwhile, because TYPING_STOPPED_WAIT_PERIOD_MILLISECONDS measures
how long we should wait before deciding to stop suggesting a user is
still typing if they were previously typing a message but paused doing
so without closing the compose box (example causes being stepping away
from the computer, tabbing to go look something up, or just thinking
for a bit).
On the one hand, even the original 5 seconds is a fairly long time to
pause to think without touching the keyboard; on the other hand,
sitting with text you've written in the compose box is likely still a
quite high intent-to-send-soon state. Increasing this to 12 seconds
seems like a reasonable balance between being too trigger-happy here
here and avoiding someone who left their computer appearing like they
are still typing for a long time afterwards.
This commit adds a new endpoint 'users/me/onboarding_steps'
deprecating the older 'users/me/hotspots' to mark hotspot as read.
We also renamed the view `mark_hotspot_as_read` to
`mark_onboarding_step_as_read`.
Reason: Our plan is to make this endpoint flexible to support
other types of UI elements not just restricted to hotspots.
Currently, the sender names for outgoing emails sent by Zulip
are hardcoded. It should be configurable for self-hosted systems.
This commit makes the 'Zulip' part a variable in the following
email sender names: 'Zulip Account Security', 'Zulip Digest',
and 'Zulip Notifications' by introducing a settings variable
'SERVICE_NAME' with the default value as f"{EXTERNAL_HOST} Zulip".
Fixes: #23857
This makes it possible for a self-hosted realm administrator to
directly access a logged-page on the push notifications bouncer
service, enabling billing, support contacts, and other administrator
for enterprise customers to be managed without manual setup.
The presence and user status update events are only sent to accessible
users, i.e. guests do not receive presence and user status updates for
users they cannot access.
The original behavior of this setting was to disable LDAP
authentication for any realms not configured to use it. This was an
arbitrary choice, and its only value was to potentially help catch
typos for users who are lazy about testing their configuration.
Since it makes it a very inconvenient to potentially host multiple
organizations with different LDAP configurations, remove that
behavior.
This makes it possible to send notifications to more than one app ID
from the same server: for example, the main Zulip mobile app and the
new Flutter-based app, which has a separate app ID for use through its
beta period so that it can be installed alongside the existing app.
This commit adds new API endpoint to get stream email which is
used by the web-app as well to get the email when a user tries
to open the stream email modal.
The stream email is returned only to the users who have access
to it. Specifically for private streams only subscribed users
have access to its email. And for public streams, all non-guest
users and only subscribed guests have access to its email.
All users can access email of web-public streams.
In 0b3f7a5a6 we started automatically setting this in dev if we
found a cert file in an appropriate place. But for running tests,
we don't want such variability. Set it back to None there.
Originally, this was how the notification emails worked, but that was changed
in 797a7ef97b, with this old behavior
available as an option.
The footer and from address of emails that are sent when this
setting is set to True are confusing, especially when more people
are involved in a stream and since we have changed the way we send
emails, it should be removed. It’s also not widely used.
Fixes#26609.
This is an exception that we should be generally catching like the
others, which will give our standard /login/ redirect and proper logging
- as opposed to a 500 if we don't catch.
Addresses directly a bug we occurred in the wild, where a SAMLResponse
was submitted without issuers specified in a valid way, causing this
exception. The added test tests this specific type of scenario.
This endpoint verifies that the services that Zulip needs to function
are running, and Django can talk to them. It is designed to be used
as a readiness probe[^1] for Zulip, either by Kubernetes, or some other
reverse-proxy load-balancer in front of Zulip. Because of this, it
limits access to only localhost and the IP addresses of configured
reverse proxies.
Tests are limited because we cannot stop running services (which would
impact other concurrent tests) and there would be extremely limited
utility to mocking the very specific methods we're calling to raising
the exceptions that we're looking for.

Rewrite the test so that we don't have a dedicated URL for testing.
dev_update_subgroups is called directly from the tests without using the
test client.
**Background**
User groups are expected to comply with the DAG constraint for the
many-to-many inter-group membership. The check for this constraint has
to be performed recursively so that we can find all direct and indirect
subgroups of the user group to be added.
This kind of check is vulnerable to phantom reads which is possible at
the default read committed isolation level because we cannot guarantee
that the check is still valid when we are adding the subgroups to the
user group.
**Solution**
To avoid having another transaction concurrently update one of the
to-be-subgroup after the recursive check is done, and before the subgroup
is added, we use SELECT FOR UPDATE to lock the user group rows.
The lock needs to be acquired before a group membership change is about
to occur before any check has been conducted.
Suppose that we are adding subgroup B to supergroup A, the locking protocol
is specified as follows:
1. Acquire a lock for B and all its direct and indirect subgroups.
2. Acquire a lock for A.
For the removal of user groups, we acquire a lock for the user group to
be removed with all its direct and indirect subgroups. This is the special
case A=B, which is still complaint with the protocol.
**Error handling**
We currently rely on Postgres' deadlock detection to abort transactions
and show an error for the users. In the future, we might need some
recovery mechanism or at least better error handling.
**Notes**
An important note is that we need to reuse the recursive CTE query that
finds the direct and indirect subgroups when applying the lock on the
rows. And the lock needs to be acquired the same way for the addition and
removal of direct subgroups.
User membership change (as opposed to user group membership) is not
affected. Read-only queries aren't either. The locks only protect
critical regions where the user group dependency graph might violate
the DAG constraint, where users are not participating.
**Testing**
We implement a transaction test case targeting some typical scenarios
when an internal server error is expected to happen (this means that the
user group view makes the correct decision to abort the transaction when
something goes wrong with locks).
To achieve this, we add a development view intended only for unit tests.
It has a global BARRIER that can be shared across threads, so that we
can synchronize them to consistently reproduce certain potential race
conditions prevented by the database locks.
The transaction test case lanuches pairs of threads initiating possibly
conflicting requests at the same time. The tests are set up such that exactly N
of them are expected to succeed with a certain error message (while we don't
know each one).
**Security notes**
get_recursive_subgroups_for_groups will no longer fetch user groups from
other realms. As a result, trying to add/remove a subgroup from another
realm results in a UserGroup not found error response.
We also implement subgroup-specific checks in has_user_group_access to
keep permission managing in a single place. Do note that the API
currently don't have a way to violate that check because we are only
checking the realm ID now.
