Previously, we had some expensive-to-calculate keys in
zulip_default_context, especially around enabled authentication
backends, which in total were a significant contributor to the
performance of various logged-out pages. Now, these keys are only
computed for the login/registration pages where they are needed.
This is a moderate performance optimization for the loading time of
many logged-out pages.
Closes#11929.
Previously, we could 500 if an organization administrator scanned
possible PreregistrationUser IDs looking for a valid invitation they
can interact with.
They couldn't do anything, so no security issue, but this fixes that
case to just be a 400 error as it should be.
With the previous commit, fixes#1836.
As specified in the issue above, we make
get_email_gateway_message_string_from_address raise an exception if
it doesn't recognise the email gateway address pattern. Then, we make
appropriate adjustments in the codepaths which call this function.
These functions don't really belong in actions.py, so we move them out,
into email_mirror_helpers.py. They can't go directly into
email_mirror.py or we'd get circular imports resulting in ImportError.
The hope is that by having a shorter list of initial streams, it'll
avoid some potential confusion confusion about the value of topics.
At the very least, having 5 streams each with 1 topic was not a good
way to introduce Zulip.
This commit minimizes changes to the message content in
`send_initial_realm_messages` to keep the diff readable. Future commits will
reshape the content.
There were several problems with the old format:
* The sender was not necessarily the sender; it was the person who did
the deletion (which could be an organization administrator)
* It didn't include the ID of the sender, just the email address.
* It didn't include the recipient ID, instead having a semi-malformed
recipient_type_id under the weird name recipient_user_ids.
Since nothing was relying on the old behavior, we can just fix the
event structure.
We change the send_to_email_mirror management command, to send messages
to the email mirror through the mirror_email_message function instead of
process_message - this makes the message follow a similar codepath as
emails sent into the mirror with the postfix configuration, which means
going through the MirrorWorker queue. The reason for this is to make
this command useful for testing the new email mirror rate limiter.
Closes#2420
We add rate limiting (max X emails withing Y seconds per realm) to the
email mirror. By creating RateLimitedRealmMirror class, inheriting from
RateLimitedObject, and rate_limit_mirror_by_realm function, following a
mechanism used by rate_limit_user, we're able to have this
implementation mostly rely on the already existing, and proven over
time, rate_limiter.py code. The rules are configurable in settings.py in
RATE_LIMITING_MIRROR_REALM_RULES, analogically to RATE_LIMITING_RULES.
Rate limit verification happens in the MirrorWorker in
queue_processors.py. We don't rate limit missed message emails, as due
to using one time addresses, they're not a spam threat.
test_mirror_worker is adapted to the altered MirrorWorker code and a new
test - test_mirror_worker_rate_limiting is added in test_queue_worker.py
to provide coverage for these changes.
We clean up test_mirror_worker for more readability, as well as make it
verify that mirror_email gets called the correct amount of times and use
a correct rcpt_to address, so that the test doesn't fail when some
verification of the address is added in the following commits
implementing rate limiting in the email mirror.
Fixes#9840.
Old addresses caused bugs in some cases with non-latin characters in
stream names (see issue number above). We switch to using django's
slugify helper function to convert stream names to full ascii, while
also getting rid of problematic non-alphanumeric characters, in a
reasonable way. See Django's documentation for slugify to see more about
how this function works.
Tests extended by tabbott to cover cases where we do end up with ascii.
To prepare for changing how the stream name gets encoded into mirror
email addresses while making sure old addresses keep working, we ignore
the stream_name part when receiving emails into the mirror and we only
look at the email_token to identify into which stream to mirror the
email.
I'm surprised that this wasn't a mypy error; we were passing a Realm
object as an integer, and predictably, this resulted in us
constructing a cache key that looked like this:
stream_by_realm_and_name:<Realm: zulip 1>:dd5...
Previously, these cache keys looked like:
:1:9c26164d3a393e316e0f8210efe270e08710d45astream_by_realm_and_name:...
Now, they look like this:
:1:9c26164d3a393e316e0f8210efe270e08710d45a:stream_by_realm_and_name:...
This avoids a bunch of duplicated calls to auth_enabled_helper for our
social auth backends, which added up because auth_enabled_helper can
take 100us to run.
See the comment, but this is a significant performance optimization
for all of our pages using common_context, because this code path is
called more than a dozen times (recursively) by common_context.
We have a few code paths that call get_realm_from_request multiple
times on the same request (e.g. the login page), once inside the view
function and once inside the common context processor code. This
change saves a useless duplicate database query in those code paths.
This block of code with 2 database queries is solely for the /devlogin
endpoint. Removing that block from the /login code path makes it
easier to test /login perf in development.
We never intended to render them for this use case as the result would
not look good, and now we have a convenient bugdown option for
controlling this behavior.
Since we're not storing the markdown rendering anywhere, there's
conveniently no data migration required.
Fixes#11889.
This renames references to user avatars, bot avatars, or organization
icons to profile pictures. The string in the UI are updated,
in addition to the help files, comments, and documentation. Actual
variable/function names, changelog entries, routes, and s3 buckets are
left as-is in order to avoid introducing bugs.
Fixes#11824.
Follow up on 92dc363. This modifies the ScheduledEmail model
and send_future_email to properly support multiple recipients.
Tweaked by tabbott to add some useful explanatory comments and fix
issues with the migration.
