A few major themes here:
- We remove short_name from UserProfile
and add the appropriate migration.
- We remove short_name from various
cache-related lists of fields.
- We allow import tools to continue to
write short_name to their export files,
and then we simply ignore the field
at import time.
- We change functions like do_create_user,
create_user_profile, etc.
- We keep short_name in the /json/bots
API. (It actually gets turned into
an email.)
- We don't modify our LDAP code much
here.
When you post to /json/users, we no longer
require or look at the short_name parameter,
since we don't use it in any meaningful way.
An upcoming commit will eliminate it from the
database.
Log RealmAuditLog in do_set_realm_property and do_remove_realm_domain.
Tests for the changes are written in test_events because it will save
duplicate code for test_change_realm_property.
There is still some miscellaneous cleanup that
has to happen for things like analytics queries
and dead code in node tests, but this should
remove the main use of pointers in the backend.
(We will also still need to drop the DB field.)
This commit is first of few commita which aim to change all the
bugdown references to markdown. This commits rename the files,
file path mentions and change the imports.
Variables and other references to bugdown will be renamed in susequent
commits.
Due to authentication restrictions, a deployment may need to direct
traffic for mobile applications to an alternate uri to take advantage
alternate authentication mechansism. By default the standard realm URI
will be usedm but if overridden in the settings file, an alternate uri
can be substituted.
Now we are consistent about validating color/description.
Ideally we wouldn't need to validate the
`streams_raw` parameters multiple times per
request, but the outer function here changes
the error messages to explicitly reference
the "delete" and "add" request variables.
And for the situation where the user-supplied
parameters are correct, the performance penalty
for checking them twice is extremely negligible.
So it's probably fine for now to just make sure
we use the same validators in all the relevant
places.
There's probably some deeper refactor that we
can do to eliminate the whole `compose_views`
scheme. And it's also not entirely clear to
me that we really need to support the update
endpoint. But that's all out of the scope of
this commit.
Update the REQ check for profile_data in
update_user_backend by tweaking `check_profile_data`
to use `check_dict_only`.
Here is the relevant URL:
path('users/<int:user_id>', rest_dispatch,
{'GET': 'zerver.views.users.get_members_backend',
It would be nice to unify the validator
for these two views, but they are different:
update_user_backend
update_user_custom_profile_data
It's not completely clear to me why update_user_backend
seems to support a superset of the functionality
of `update_user_custom_profile_data`, but it has
this code to allow you to remove custom profile fields:
clean_profile_data = []
for entry in profile_data:
assert isinstance(entry["id"], int)
if entry["value"] is None or not entry["value"]:
field_id = entry["id"]
check_remove_custom_profile_field_value(target, field_id)
else:
clean_profile_data.append({
"id": entry["id"],
"value": entry["value"],
})
Whereas the other view is much simpler:
def update_user_custom_profile_data(
<snip>
) -> HttpResponse:
validate_user_custom_profile_data(user_profile.realm.id, data)
do_update_user_custom_profile_data_if_changed(user_profile, data)
# We need to call this explicitly otherwise constraints are not check
return json_success()
This tightens our checking of user-supplied data
for this endpoint:
path('users/me/profile_data', rest_dispatch,
{'PATCH': 'zerver.views.custom_profile_fields.update_user_custom_profile_data',
...
We now explicitly require the `value` field
to be present in the dicts being passed in
here, as part of `REQ`. There is no reason
that our current clients would be sending
extra fields here, and we would just ignore
them anyway, so we also move to using
check_dict_only.
Here is some relevant webapp code (see settings_account.js):
fields.push({id: field.id, value: user_ids});
update_user_custom_profile_fields(fields, channel.patch);
settings_ui.do_settings_change(method, "/json/users/me/profile_data",
{data: JSON.stringify([field])}, spinner_element);
The webapp code sends fields one at a time
as one-element arrays, which is strange, but
that is out of the scope of this change.
`/api/v1/fetch_api_key`'s response had a key `email` with the user's
delivery email. But its JSON counterpart `/json/fetch_api_key`, which
has a completely different implementation, did not return `email` in
its success response.
So to avoid confusion, the non-API endpoint, `/json/fetch_api_key`
response has been made identical with it's `/api` counterpart by
adding the `email` key. Also it is safe to send as the calling user
will only see their own email.
Currently, we use -1 as the Realm.message_retention_days value to retain
message forever unless specified at stream level for a particular stream,
that is, no policy set at the realm level. But this is incoherent with what
we use for Stream.message_retention_days where -1 means
> disable retention policy for this stream unconditionally
that can be confusing from an API standpoint.
So instead of trying some hack to reset the value to NULL or using some
other value like -2 for RETAIN_MESSAGE_FOREVER and use that for API. It is
much more intuitive to use a string like 'forever' that can be mapped to
RETAIN_MESSAGE_FOREVER at the backend. And this is similar to what we use
for streams settings as well.
In 5200598a31, we introduced a new
client capability that can be used to avoid unreasonable network
bandwidth consumed sending avatar URLs of long term idle users in
organizations with 10,000s members.
This commit enables this feature and adds support for it to the web
client.
