This fixes an important issue where the realm_users cache could grow
beyond 1MB when a Zulip server had more than about 10K users. The
result was that Zulip would start 500ing with that size of userbase.
There are probably better long-term fixes, but because the realm_users
data set caches well, this change should be sufficient to let us
handle to 50-100K users or more on that metric (though at some point,
we'll start having other problems interacting with the realm_users
data set).
This new implementation model is a lot cleaner and should extend
better to the non-oauth backend supported by python-social-auth (since
we're not relying on monkey-patching `do_auth` in the OAuth backend
base class).
This adds a /ping command that will be useful for users
to see what the round trip to the Zulip server is (including
only a tiny bit of actual server time to basically give a
200).
It also introduce the "/zcommand" endpoint and zcommand.js
module.
A "zform" knows how to render data that follows our
schema for widget messages with form elements like
buttons and choices.
This code won't be triggered until a subsequent
server-side commit takes widget_content from
API callers such as the trivial chat bot and
creates submessages for us.
This starts the concept of a schema checker, similar to
zerver/lib/validator.py on the server. We can use this
to validate incoming data. Our server should filter most
of our incoming data, but it's useful to have client-side
checking to defend against things like upgrade
regressions (i.e. what if we change the name of the field
on the server side without updating all client uses).
The only purpose of this commit is to make the django templates
of Two Factor Auth work. We probably won't need this commit once
we upgrade the admin backend of Two Factor Auth to use handlebar
templates.
This commit improves the output that blueslip produces while
showing error stack traces on the front-end. This is done by
using a library called error-stack-parser to format the stack
traces.
This commit also edits the webpack config to use a different
devtool setting since the previous one did not support sourcemaps
within stack traces. It also removes a plugin that was obviated
by this change.
We add conditional infinite sleep to this delivery job as a means to
handle case of multiple servers in service to a realm running this
job. In such a scenerio race conditions might arise leading to
multiple deliveries for same message. This way we try to match the
behaviour of what other jobs do in such a case.
Note: We should eventually do something to make such jobs work
while being running on multiple servers.
Slow queries during backend tests sends messages to Error Bot
which affects the database state causing the tests to fail.
This fixes the occasional flakes due to that.
This commit lays the foundation to handle submessages for
plugin widgets. Right now it just logs events, but subsequent
commits will add widget functionality.
We don't reference this anymore (it was only ever used by the Dropbox
integration, which was hardcoded-off for years before being removed in
e6833b6427)
Most of this was straightforward.
Most functions that were grabbed verbatim and whole from
the original class still have one-line wrappers.
Many functions are just-the-data versions of functions that
remain in MessageList: see add, append, prepend, remove as
examples. In a typical pattern the MessageList code becomes
super simple:
prepend: function MessageList_prepend(messages) {
var viewable_messages = this.data.prepend(messages);
this.view.prepend(viewable_messages);
},
Two large functions had some minor surgery:
triage_messages =
top half of add_messages +
API to pass three lists back
change_message_id =
original version +
two simple callbacks to list
For the function update_muting_and_rerender(), we continue
to early-exit if this.muting_enabled is false, and we copied
that same defensive check to the new function
named update_items_for_muting(), even though it's technically
hidden from that codepath by the caller.
This commit moves the stylesheets under the archive bundle in
the Django pipeline to being compiled by webpack instead. It
also removes a remaining call to a portico stylesheet that no
longer exists.
This commit transitions landing-page.css from the Django pipeline
to being compiled by webpack as landing-page.scss under the
'landing-page' and 'integration' bundles.
This commit transitions all styles in app.css in the Django pipeline
to being compiled by webpack in an app-styles bundle, and renames the
various files to now be processed as SCSS.
To implement this transition, we move the old CSS file refernces in
settings.py and replace them with a bundle declared in
`webpack.assets.json` and includedn in the index.html template
Tweaked by tabbott to keep the list of files in `app.css` in
`webpack.assets.json`, and to preserve the ordering from the old
`settings.py`.
This commit removes the need for portico.css to be generated
by the Django pipeline and makes the error page use the css
file compiled by webpack instead.
We haven't seen significant traffic from the legacy desktop app in
over a year, and users using it get a warning to upgrade since last
summer, so it's probably OK to stop providing special fonts for it.
This introduces a generic class called list_cursor to handle the
main details of navigating the buddy list and wires it into
activity.js. It replaces some fairly complicated code that
was coupled to stream_list and used lots of jQuery.
The new code interacts with the buddy_list API instead of jQuery
directly. It also persists the key across redraws, so we don't
lose our place when a focus ping happens or we type more characters.
Note that we no longer cycle to the top when we hit the bottom, or
vice versa. Cycling can be kind of an anti-feature when you want to
just lay on the arrow keys until they hit the end.
The changes to stream_list.js here do not affect the left sidebar;
they only remove code that was used for the right sidebar.
This was a bit more than moving code. I extracted the
following things:
$widget (and three helper methods)
$input
text()
empty()
expand_column
close_widget
activity.clear_highlight
There was a minor bug before this commit, where we were inconsistent
about trimming spaces. The introduction of text() and empty() should
prevent bugs where users type the space bar into search.
static/styles/scss/portico.scss is now compiled by webpack
and supports SCSS syntax.
Changed the server-side templates to render the portico-styles
bundle instead of directly requiring the portico stylesheet. This
allows webpack to handle stylesheet compilation and minification.
We use the mini-css-extract-plugin to extract out css from the
includes in webpack and let webpacks production mode handle
minification. Currently we're not able to use it for dev mode
because it does not support HMR so we use style-loader instead.
Once the plugin supports HMR we can go on to use it for both
dev and prod.
The downside of this is that when reloading pages in the development
environment, there's an annoying flash of unstyled content :(.
It is now possible to make a change in any of the styles included
by static/styles/scss/portico.scss and see the code reload live
in the browser. This is because style-loader which we currently
use has the module.accept code built-in.
This shouldn't have a material performance impact, since we don't
query these except during login, and meanwhile this fixes an issue
where users needed to restart memcached (which usually manifested as
"needing to reboot the whole server" after updating their LDAP
configuration before a user who was migrated from one OU to another
could login).
Fixes#9057.
This is a pretty thin abstraction to prevent having to put
magic numbers in code, doing the which/keyCode hack, and remembering
to all preventDefault.
Hopefully we'll expand it to handle things like shift/alt keys
for components that want their own keyboard handlers (vs. going
through hotkey.js).
We don't indend for this server-level setting to exist in the long
term; the purpose of this is just to make it easy to test this code
path for development purposes.
This implements much of the Message side part of #2745.
This should eliminate the occasional problems that some installations
have had with RabbitMQ trying to load-balance requests between
127.0.0.1 and ::1 (the ipv6 version of localhost).
There are several ways we open help for keyboard shortcuts,
markdown help, and search operators.
- from the gear menu
- from the compose box
- from the search box
- hitting ? for keyboard help
- arrowing/clicking through the tabs
This just moves the relevant code into a module and changes a
bunch of one-line calls in various places.
Now that we have support for displaying custom profile fields, this
adds administrator-level support for creating them.
Tweaked by tabbott to fix a few small bugs and clean up the commit message.
Fixes#1760.
This bot was basically a duplicate of NOTIFICATION_BOT for some
specific corner cases, and didn't add much value. It's better to just
eliminate it, which also removes some ugly corner cases around what
happens if the user account doesn't exist.
In 18e43895ff we replaced
stream subscribe buttons with stream links. The new feature
has been well tested and well received for over a year now,
so it's safe to remove the older feature at this point.
Older sites will have super old messages that still have the
rendered markup; this commit does not attempt to address those
situations. Most likely, clicking on an old button in the old
message will either do nothing or look like a message reply.
This feature isn't really ready yet -- the relevance isn't good, so
the emails aren't a great experience. More work needed; pending that,
just don't send them.
There's already a per-realm setting, which doesn't have a control in
the org settings UI but does suppress it in the per-user settings UI.
Piggyback on that to suppress that UI control when the feature is
disabled at the server level too.
Also cut a comment that hasn't really made sense since the logic was
changed months ago -- the comment originally explained why we sent
digests on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and doesn't correspond to
why we dialled back to weekly on Tuesdays.
This is nicer than the "For manual testing ..." comment. :-)
Also as a proper setting we can have it control some logging I
added locally while testing my recent changes to pika logging.
Update perfect-scrollbar to fix stutter space-scrolling in #8544. Also
reworked deprecated `element.perfectScrollbar` to `new
PerfectScrollbar(element)`. Lastly, updated provision version and
changed node module path to new path.
This also refactors perfect-scrollbar in help.js to work with updated
version of perfect-scrollbar. Because the update also changed
perfect-scrollbar's css selectors for all scrollbars in zulip, we
update those too.
Fixes#8544.
In some environments, these exceptions happen regularly on upgrading
Zulip. They're harmless because we reconnect, so avoid complaining
noisily about them.
This applies only on a server open for anyone to create a realm.
Moreover, if the server admins have granted any given realm a
max_invites greater than the default, that realm is exempt too.
This makes this value much easier for a server admin to change than it
was when embedded directly in the code. (Note this entire mechanism
already only applies on a server open for anyone to create a realm.)
Doing this also means getting the default out of the database.
Instead, we make the column nullable, and when it's NULL in the
database, treat that as whatever the current default is. This better
matches anyway the likely model where there are a few realms with
specially-set values, and everything else should be treated uniformly.
The migration contains a `RenameField` step, which sounds scary
operationally -- but it really does mean just the *field*, in
the model within the Python code. The underlying column's name
doesn't change.
This mostly moves code from ui.js.
We change the arguments to `message_fetch.load_more_messages()`
to be `opts` with callbacks for `show_loading` and `hide_loading`.
We also defer starting the scroll handler until `message_fetch.js`
has been initialized.
@brockwhittaker wrote the original prototype for having
pills in the recipient box when users compose PMs (either
1:1 or huddle). The prototype was test deloyed on our
main realm for several weeks.
This commit includes all the original CSS and HTML from
the prototype.
After some things changed with the codebase after the initial
test deployment, I made the following changes:
* In prior commits I refactored out a module called
`user_pill.js` that implemented some common functions
against a more streamlined version of `input_pill.js`,
and this commit largely integrates with that.
* I made changes in a prior commit to handle Zephyr
semantics (emails don't get validated) and tested
this commit with zephyr.
* I fixed a reload bug by extracting code out to
`compose_pm_pill.js` and re-ordering some
calls to `initialize`.
There are still two flaws related to un-pill-ified text in the
input:
* We could be more aggressive about trying to pill-ify
emails when you blur or tab away.
* We only look at the pills when you send the message,
instead of complaining about the un-pill-ified text.
(Some folks may consider that a feature, but it's
probably surprising to others.)
The main point of this change is to streamline the core
code for input pills, and we use also modify user groups.
The main change to input_pill.js is that you now
configure a function called `create_item_from_text`, and
that can return an arbitrary object, and it just needs
a field called `display_value`.
Other changes:
* You now call `input.create(opts)` to create the
widget.
* There is no longer a cache, because we can
write smarter code in typeahead `source` functions
that exclude ids up front.
* There is no value/optinalKey complexity, because
the calling code can supply arbitrary objects and
do their own external data management on the pill
items.
* We eliminate `prependPill`.
* We eliminate `data`, `keys`, and `values`, and just
have `items`.
We now isolate the code to transmit messages into transmit.js.
It is stable code that most folks doing UI work in compose.js don't
care about the details of, so it's just clutter there. Also, we may
soon have other widgets than the compose box that send messages.
This change mostly preserves test coverage, although in some cases
we stub at a higher level for the compose path (this is a good thing).
Extracting out transmit.js allows us to lock down 100% coverage on that
file.
From here on we start to authenticate uploaded file request before
serving this files in production. This involves allowing NGINX to
pass on these file requests to Django for authentication and then
serve these files by making use on internal redirect requests having
x-accel-redirect field. The redirection on requests and loading
of x-accel-redirect param is handled by django-sendfile.
NOTE: This commit starts to authenticate these requests for Zulip
servers running platforms either Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or above.
Fixes: #320 and #291 partially.
It's too easy to go over the rate limits when using the webapp.
The correct fix for this probably involves some changes to which
routes get covered by what sort of rate limit, but for now, just
increase the limits.
The original code made a 3/4-hearted effort to generically accommodate
more banners/"panels" later, but named itself after the first one made.
[greg: expanded commit message.]
For now, this does nothing in a production environment, but it should
simplify the process of doing testing on the Thumbor implementation,
by integrating a lot of dependency management logic.
Gmail is a bad example for outbound email; use a generic example.
Also leave the `= None` default out of the config file, as it's
redundant with DEFAULT_SETTINGS in our internal settings.py ; and
explain in the latter why we don't mention the other SMTP settings.
Since we need KaTeX to be available for zerver/lib/tex.py and
static/third/katex/cli.js to be able to shell out to it. However, for
some reason, the KaTeX we bundle using Webpack doesn't seem to be
importable by Node (and it's also kinda a pain to find its filename
from `cli.js`).
So, we work around this by just using the legacy system for KaTeX.
Something similar is needed for zxcvbn.js, in order to support the
settings_account.js use case (basically deferred loading of this
file); that requires JS code to have access to the correct path for
zxcvbn.
Stripe Checkout means using JS code provided by Stripe to handle
almost all of the UI, which is great for us.
There are more features we should add to this page and changes we
should make, but this gives us an MVP.
[greg: expanded commit message; fixed import ordering and some types.]
There are two different things you need to patch in order to get error
emails (at `/emails`) in dev. Flip one of them in dev all the time,
and make the comment on the other a bit more explicit.
This name hasn't been right since f7f2ec0ac back in 2013; this handler
sends the log record to a queue, whose consumer will not only maybe
send a Zulip message but definitely send an email. I found this
pretty confusing when I first worked on this logging code and was
looking for how exception emails got sent; so now that I see exactly
what's actually happening here, fix it.
Because calls to `create_logger` generally run after settings are
configured, these would override what we have in `settings.LOGGING` --
which in particular defeated any attempt to set log levels in
`test_settings.py`. Move all of these settings to the same place in
`settings.py`, so they can be overridden in a uniform way.
This adds custom CSS through JavaScript for things that do not
scope well and will override other inherited styles.
This should ONLY be used for problematic CSS that has no obvious
or easy CSS-only solution.
(Specifically, we need this for the "default link" styling, which is
hard to override because we don't want to start winning ties due to
specificity that we would not have won in the light theme).
[Modified by greg to (1) keep `USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'`,
(2) silence the corresponding system check, and (3) ban
reusing a system bot's email address, just like we do in
realm creation.]
Originally this used signals, namely SIGRTMIN. But in prod, the
signal handler never fired; I debugged fruitlessly for a while, and
suspect uwsgi was foiling it in a mysterious way (which is kind of
the only way uwsgi does anything.)
So, we listen on a socket. Bit more code, and a bit trickier to
invoke, but it works.
This was developed for the investigation of memory-bloating on
chat.zulip.org that led to a331b4f64 "Optimize query_all_subs_by_stream()".
For usage instructions, see docstring.
Tweaked by tabbott to move changes from the next commit that are
required for this to pass tests into this commit.
Note that this exports a few items that were not previously exported.
This fixes some subtle JavaScript exceptions we've been getting in
zulipchat.com, caused by the system bot realm there not being "zulip"
interacting with get_cross_realm_users.
This uses the to-markdown.js library to do all the hard work of
parsing HTML and turning it into markdown and not e.g. uploaded files.
Tweaked by tabbott to better scope when it activates to just include
pastes of HTML content.
Fixes#5853.
Storage limititations are only set on the value of
a config entry, since this is the only user-accessible
part of the schema. Keys are statically set by each
embedded bot.
Note from tabbott: While this initial version is experimental and
definitely incomplete, we expect to have a solid version done over the
next few weeks (after more refactoring). We're merging this now to
make it easy to test both versions when refactoring our CSS.
Fixes#267.
These are new:
new-user-bot
emailgateway
Our cross-realm bots are hard coded to have email addresses
in the `zulip.com` domain, and they're not part of ordinary
realms.
These have always been cross-realm, but new enforcement in the
frontend code of all messages having been sent by a known user means
that it's important to add these properly.
This change prepares us to have the server send avatar_url
of None when somebody wants a gravatar avatar (as opposed
to a user-uploaded one).
Subsequent commits will change behavior on both the server
and client to have this happen. So this commit has no-op
code for now, but it will soon use the fallback-to-gravatar
logic.
The main limitation of this version is that it's controlled entirely
from settings, with nothing in the database and no web UI or even
management command to control it. That makes it a bit more of a
burden for the server admins than it'd ideally be, but that's fine
for now.
Relatedly, the web flow for realm creation still requires choosing a
subdomain even if the realm is destined to live at an alias domain.
Specific to the dev environment, there is an annoying quirk: the
special dev login flow doesn't work on a REALM_HOSTS realm. Also,
in this version the `add_new_realm` and `add_new_user` management
commands, which are intended for use in development environments only,
don't support this feature.
In manual testing, I've confirmed that a REALM_HOSTS realm works for
signup and login, with email/password, Google SSO, or GitHub SSO.
Most of that was in dev; I used zulipstaging.com to also test
* logging in with email and password;
* logging in with Google SSO... far enough to correctly determine
that my email address is associated with some other realm.
This means one fewer thing the admin typically needs to read, absorb,
and make a decision about at install time.
The one way this change could hypothetically cause trouble is if the
admin wants to keep subdomains of EXTERNAL_HOST out of ALLOWED_HOSTS.
But while the subdomains often won't exist as domain names, it's hard
to imagine the situation in which they would exist but be under
someone else's control, or be doing something other than serving
Zulip realms.
This was part of the logic to handle EXTERNAL_API_PATH varying.
But also it was already no longer used -- it was only ever passed
into template contexts, as `external_api_uri`, and it'd been
overtaken there by `external_api_uri_subdomain`.
So, update our dev docs to reflect that, and eliminate the variable.
This setting isn't documented at all, and I believe nobody has used it
since the end of api.zulip.com in 2016. So we get to complete the
cleanup of this logic.
Lets administrators view a list of open(unconfirmed) invitations and
resend or revoke a chosen invitation.
There are a few changes that we can expect for the future:
* It is currently possible to invite an email that you have already
invited, it might make sense to change this behavior.
* Resend currently sends an invite reminder instead of resending the
original invite, this is because 'custom_body' was not stored when
the first invite was sent.
Tweaked in various minor ways, primarily in the backend, by tabbott,
mostly for style consistency with the rest of the codebase.
Fixes: #1180.
Adds support to add "Embedded bot" Service objects. This service
handles every embedded bot.
Extracted from "Embedded bots: Add support to add embedded bots from
UI" by Robert Honig.
Tweaked by tabbott to be disabled by default.
This should help prevent confusion where new users find themselves on
the LDAP login form and click "register" because they know they don't
have an account. Whereas in fact, their account will be auto-created
if they just login, so there's no need for them to access it.
The rules here are fuzzy, and it's quite possible none of Zulip's emails
need an address at all. Every country has its own rules though, which makes
it hard to tell. In general, transactional emails do not need an address,
and marketing emails do.
This is a two-step notifications process that will ask a user
to enable notifications and if they click exit give them three
options:
1. Enable notifications.
2. Ask later.
3. Never ask on this computer again.
The first two are self-explanatory (ask later = next session it
asks again). The third is captured and stored in localStorage and
a check is done on page load to see whether or not notifications
should be displayed.
Commit modified heavily by Brock Whittaker <brock@zulipchat.com>.
Fixes#1189.
By default, Django sets up two handlers on this logger, one of them
its AdminEmailHandler. We have our own handler for sending email on
error, and we want to stick to that -- we like the format somewhat
better, and crucially we've given it some rate-limiting through
ZulipLimiter.
Since we cleaned out our logging config in e0a5e6fad, though, we've
been sending error emails through both paths. The config we'd had
before that for `django` was redundant with the config on the root --
but having *a* config there was essential for causing
`logging.config.dictConfig`, when Django passes it our LOGGING dict,
to clear out that logger's previous config. So, give it an empty
config.
Django by default configures two loggers: `django` and
`django.server`. We have our own settings for `django.server`
anyway, so this is the only one we need to add.
The stdlib `logging` and `logging.config` docs aren't 100% clear, and
while the source of `logging` is admirably straightforward the source
of `logging.config` is a little twisty, so it's not easy to become
totally confident that this has the right effect just by reading.
Fortunately we can put some of that source-diving to work in writing
a test for it.
Apparently, this sockjs.tornado logging code resulted in a lot of
buggy error emails whenever a Zulip browser tried to reconnect on a
new IP. I don't see an obvious way to suppress them from within
sockjs, but that might be a good follow-up issue.
Fixes#6959.
The comment is pretty self-explanatory. The fact that Google Compute
Engine has this problem does not impress confidence about their
product, but hopefully this is the only really dumb thing they do.
Fixes#4839.
The original "quality score" was invented purely for populating
our password-strength progress bar, and isn't expressed in terms
that are particularly meaningful. For configuration and the core
accept/reject logic, it's better to use units that are readily
understood. Switch to those.
I considered using "bits of entropy", defined loosely as the log
of this number, but both the zxcvbn paper and the linked CACM
article (which I recommend!) are written in terms of the number
of guesses. And reading (most of) those two papers made me
less happy about referring to "entropy" in our terminology.
I already knew that notion was a little fuzzy if looked at
too closely, and I gained a better appreciation of how it's
contributed to confusion in discussing password policies and
to adoption of perverse policies that favor "Password1!" over
"derived unusual ravioli raft". So, "guesses" it is.
And although the log is handy for some analysis purposes
(certainly for a graph like those in the zxcvbn paper), it adds
a layer of abstraction, and I think makes it harder to think
clearly about attacks, especially in the online setting. So
just use the actual number, and if someone wants to set a
gigantic value, they will have the pleasure of seeing just
how many digits are involved.
(Thanks to @YJDave for a prototype that the code changes in this
commit are based on.)
Create a new custom email backend which would automatically
logs the emails that are send in the dev environment as
well as print a friendly message in console to visit /emails
for accessing all the emails that are sent in dev environment.
Since django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend is no longer
userd emails would not be printed to the console anymore.
It turns out that very little code change is required to support
GitHub auth on mobile. Ideally, this would come with tests, though
the complicated part of the code path is covered by the Google auth
version. But writing a test for this would take a long time, and I
think it's worth having the feature now, so I'll be doing tests as a
follow-up project.
