This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference,
!avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an
inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing
you to create a user pill like:
`!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!`
---
Reimplementation
If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future,
we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more
in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be
a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly.
Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need
to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better
implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax:
` Alice: hey!`
---
History
We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated'
from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about
the new syntax:
> We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually
> disable it for external users.
We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013
but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of
our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax.
When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted
that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013!
Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere
in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is
our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit
integration that we have deprecated anyway.
We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on
chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only
the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely
to stumble upon it and try it out.
This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up
emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this,
we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails
to render messages.

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 migrations use of url() to path() or re_path(). In this commit,
we only migration regular expressions to path where the translation is trivial:
* URLs with no parameters in them
* URLs with only integer parameters in them
* Strings where there regular expression just checked for `/`s
path; strings, which can have variable validation in the URLs that
need by-hand auditing, we leave for future commits that are easier to
review and think about the individual changes.
Modified by tabbott to convert back to `re_path` various URLs with
strings that had been converted to use `path()` with string
validation to simplify review.
Fixes#14770.
Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

This new endpoint returns a 'user' dictionary which, as of now,
contains a single key 'is_subscribed' with a boolean value that
represents whether the user with the given 'user_id' is subscribed
to the stream with the given 'stream_id'.
Fixes#14966.
This was written by Rishi for a very brief purpose a few years ago,
and it doesn't serve much purpose now other than to be a place we
update in code sweeps.
We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
Generated by pyupgrade --py36-plus --keep-percent-format, but with the
NamedTuple changes reverted (see commit

This reimplements our Zoom video call integration to use an OAuth
application. In addition to providing a cleaner setup experience,
especially on zulipchat.com where the server administrators can have
done the app registration already, it also fixes the limitation of the
previous integration that it could only have one call active at a time
when set up with typical Zoom API keys.
Fixes#11672.

This is be useful for the mobile and desktop apps to hand an uploaded
file off to the system browser so that it can render PDFs (Etc.).
The S3 backend implementation is simple; for the local upload backend,
we use Django's signing feature to simulate the same sort of 60-second
lifetime token.

URLs for config errors were configured seperately for each error
which is better handled by having error name as argument in URL.
A new view `config_error_view` is added containing context for
each error that returns `config_error` page with the relevant
context.
Also fixed tests and some views in `auth.py` to be consistent with
changes.
We had a bunch of ugly hacks to monkey patch things due to upstream
being temporarily unmaintained and not merging PRs. Now the project is
active again and the fixes have been merged and included in the latest
version - so we clean up all that code.
Extend the context dictionary with variables `social_backend_name`
and `backend_error` flag which determines if the error should be
shown. Not extended this for ldap, smtp and saml as they have a
different format of block.
Django 2.2.x is the next LTS release after Django 1.11.x; I expect
we'll be on it for a while, as Django 3.x won't have an LTS release
series out for a while.
Because of upstream API changes in Django, this commit includes
several changes beyond requirements and:
* urls: django.urls.resolvers.RegexURLPattern has been replaced by
django.urls.resolvers.URLPattern; affects OpenAPI code and related
features which re-parse Django's internals.
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28593
* test_runner: Change number to suffix. Django changed the name in this
ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28578
* Delete now-unnecessary SameSite cookie code (it's now the default).
* forms: urlsafe_base64_encode returns string in Django 2.2.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/utils/#django.utils.http.urlsafe_base64_encode
* upload: Django's File.size property replaces _get_size().
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/_modules/django/core/files/base/
* process_queue: Migrate to new autoreload API.
* test_messages: Add an extra query caused by .refresh_from_db() losing
the .select_related() on the Realm object.
* session: Sync SessionHostDomainMiddleware with Django 2.2.
There's a lot more we can do to take advantage of the new release;
this is tracked in #11341.
Many changes by Tim Abbott, Umair Waheed, and Mateusz Mandera squashed
are squashed into this commit.
Fixes#10835.
Since essentially the first use of Tornado in Zulip, we've been
maintaining our Tornado+Django system, AsyncDjangoHandler, with
several hundred lines of Django code copied into it.
The goal for that code was simple: We wanted a way to use our Django
middleware (for code sharing reasons) inside a Tornado process (since
we wanted to use Tornado for our async events system).
As part of the Django 2.2.x upgrade, I looked at upgrading this
implementation to be based off modern Django, and it's definitely
possible to do that:
* Continue forking load_middleware to save response middleware.
* Continue manually running the Django response middleware.
* Continue working out a hack involving copying all of _get_response
to change a couple lines allowing us our Tornado code to not
actually return the Django HttpResponse so we can long-poll. The
previous hack of returning None stopped being viable with the Django 2.2
MiddlewareMixin.__call__ implementation.
But I decided to take this opportunity to look at trying to avoid
copying material Django code, and there is a way to do it:
* Replace RespondAsynchronously with a response.asynchronous attribute
on the HttpResponse; this allows Django to run its normal plumbing
happily in a way that should be stable over time, and then we
proceed to discard the response inside the Tornado `get()` method to
implement long-polling. (Better yet might be raising an
exception?). This lets us eliminate maintaining a patched copy of
_get_response.
* Removing the @asynchronous decorator, which didn't add anything now
that we only have one API endpoint backend (with two frontend call
points) that could call into this. Combined with the last bullet,
this lets us remove a significant hack from our
never_cache_responses function.
* Calling the normal Django `get_response` method from zulip_finish
after creating a duplicate request to process, rather than writing
totally custom code to do that. This lets us eliminate maintaining
a patched copy of Django's load_middleware.
* Adding detailed comments explaining how this is supposed to work,
what problems we encounter, and how we solve various problems, which
is critical to being able to modify this code in the future.
A key advantage of these changes is that the exact same code should
work on Django 1.11, Django 2.2, and Django 3.x, because we're no
longer copying large blocks of core Django code and thus should be
much less vulnerable to refactors.
There may be a modest performance downside, in that we now run both
request and response middleware twice when longpolling (once for the
request we discard). We may be able to avoid the expensive part of
it, Zulip's own request/response middleware, with a bit of additional
custom code to save work for requests where we're planning to discard
the response. Profiling will be important to understanding what's
worth doing here.
This adds a new API endpoint for querying basic data on a single other
user in the organization, reusing the existing infrastructure (and
view function!) for getting data on all users in an organization.
Fixes#12277.
Tests require adjusting, because the class-based view has an additional
redirect - through /uid/set-password/ and the token is read from the
session. See Django code of PasswordResetConfirmView.
The original/legacy emoji reactions endpoints made use of HTTP PUT and
didn't have an API that could correctly handle situations where the
emoji names change over time. We stopped using the legacy endpoints
some time ago, so we can remove them now.
This requires straightforward updates to older tests that were still
written against the legacy API.
Fixes#12940.
Needed so that the google entry in social_backends in /server_settings
shows the new url rather than the legacy accounts/login/google/ url as
the login url.
This legacy endpoint was designed for the original native Zulip mobile
apps, which were deprecated years ago in favor of the React Native
app.
It was replaced by /server_settings for active use years ago, so it's
safe to remove it now.
The url scheme is now /accounts/login/social/saml/{idp_name} to initiate
login using the IdP configured under "idp_name" name.
display_name and display_logo (the name and icon to show on the "Log in
with" button) can be customized by adding the apprioprate settings in
the configured IdP dictionaries.
There are a few outstanding issues that we expect to resolve beforce
including this in a release, but this is good checkpoint to merge.
This PR is a collaboration with Tim Abbott.
Fixes#716.
Previously, several of our URL patterns accidentally did not end with
`$`, and thus ended up controlling just the stated URL, but actually a
much broader set of URLs starting with it.
I did an audit and fixed what I believe are all instances of this URL
pattern behavior. In the process, I fixed a few tests that were
unintentionally relying on the behavior.
Fixes#13082.
In bf14a0af4, we refactored the Google authentication system to use
the same code as GitHub auth, but neglected to provide a
backwards-compatible URL available for use by older versions of the
mobile apps.
Fixes#13081.
This restructures the API endpoints that we currently have implemented
more or less for exclusive use by the mobile and desktop apps (things
like checking what authentication methods are supported) to use a
system that can be effectively parsed by our test_openapi
documentation.
This brings us close to being able to eliminate
`buggy_documentation_endpoints` as a persistently nonempty list.
This feature is intended to cover all of our ways of exporting a
realm, not just the initial "public export" feature, so we should name
things appropriately for that goal.
Additionally, we don't want to include data exports in page_params;
the original implementation was actually buggy and would have.
