This creates a lot of logging noise, and also causes confusion
for new contributors when something isn't working as they expect
and they aren't sure if this message is normal or an error.
Usually a small minority of users are eligible to receive missed
message emails or mobile notifications.
We now filter users first before hitting UserPresence to find idle
users. We also simply check for the existence of recent activity
rather than borrowing the more complicated data structures that we
use for the buddy list.
Because the Redis client returns exclusively bytes -- even for
hash keys -- even on Python 3, the test `'response' in status`
was always returning false, and the line that tries to decode
as JSON was never running, so we were passing `response`
through as a `bytes` object encoding some JSON.
I'm not sure what the impact of this bug was, and in particular
whether something downstream would have fudged it to make up for
this error.
This fixes the original issue that #5598 was the root cause of; when
the user returns to a Zulip browser tab after they've been idle past
the timeout (10 min, per IDLE_EVENT_QUEUE_TIMEOUT_SECS), we now
correctly reload the page even if they're using Zulip in German or
another non-English language where we have a translation for the
relevant error message.
The one purpose this exception was serving was to carry a message
in `msg`. We can do that with `JsonableError`, and as a bonus replace
a repetition of the familiar "'result': 'error', ..." JSON pattern
with a call to a common implementation.
Also wrap the error messages for translation -- we hadn't been doing
that, oops. Our linter notices that issue now that it's the familiar
JsonableError class.
There's one other potential change in behavior here: this
except-clause might now catch a JsonableError raised from some other
code. That seems like a bonus, if so; the handler isn't doing
anything actually specific to this code, and the more exceptions it
successfully turns into proper error responses to the client and lines
in the log, the better.
This provides the main infrastructure for fixing #5598. From here,
it's a matter of on the one hand upgrading exception handlers -- the
many except-blocks in the codebase that look for JsonableError -- to
look beyond the string `msg` and pass on the machine-readable full
error information to their various downstream recipients, and on the
other hand adjusting places where we raise errors to take advantage
of this mechanism to give the errors structured details.
In an ideal future, I think all exception handlers that look (or
should look) for a JsonableError would use its contents in structured
form, never mentioning `msg`; but the majority of error sites might
continue to just instantiate JsonableError with a string message. The
latter is the simplest thing to do, and probably most error types will
never have code looking for them specifically.
Because the new API refactors the `to_json_error_msg` method which was
designed for subclasses to override, update the 4 subclasses that did
so to take full advantage of the new API instead.
In order to benefit from the modern conveniences of type-checking,
add concrete, non-Any types to the interface for JsonableError.
Relatedly, there's no need at this point to duck-type things at
the places where we receive a JsonableError and try to use it.
Simplify those by using straightforward standard typing.
Tornado reloads the app whenever there is a change in code. Due to this,
new connection is created to the client which also results in a new
channel. To avoid creating two channels for the queue in the RabbitMQ
broker we should close the old channel. Otherwise messages sent to the
queue will be distributed among these two channels in a round robin
scheme and we will end up losing one message since one of the channels
doesn't have an active consumer.
This commit closes the connection to the queue whenever Tornado reloads
the application using add_reload_hook().
Fixes#5824.
I pushed a bunch of commits that attempted to introduce
the concept of `client_message_id` into our server, as
part of cleaning up our codepaths related to messages you
sent (both for the locally echoed case and for the host
case).
When we deployed this, we had some strange failures involving
double-echoed messages and issues advancing the pointer that appeared
related to #5779. We didn't get to the bottom of exactly why the PR
caused havoc, but I decided there was a cleaner approach, anyway.
We are deprecating local_id/local_message_id on the Python server.
Instead of the server knowing about the client's implementation of
local id, with the message id = 9999.01 scheme, we just send the
server an opaque id to send back to us.
This commit changes the name from local_id -> client_message_id,
but it doesn't change the actual values passed yet.
The goal for client_key in future commits will be to:
* Have it for all messages, not just locally rendered messages
* Not have it overlap with server-side message ids.
The history behind local_id having numbers like 9999.01 is that
they are actually interim message ids and the numerical value is
used for rendering the message list when we do client-side rendering.
This makes it possible for Zulip administrators to delete messages.
This is primarily intended for use in deleting early test messages,
but it can solve other problems as well.
Later we'll want to play with the permissions model for this, but for
now, the goal is just to integrate the feature.
Note that it saves the deleted messages for some time using the same
approach as Zulip's message retention policy feature.
Fixes#135.
In the future, the type annotation should use Deque in order to be
compatible with the latest mypy version. See
https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/2845 for more info.
Most of this code was simply moved from activity.js with some
minor renaming of functions like set_presence_info -> set_info.
Some functions were slightly nontrivial extractions:
is_not_offline:
came from activity.huddle_fraction_present
get_status/get_mobile:
simple getters
set_user_status:
partial extraction from activity.set_user_status
last_active_date:
pulled out of admin.js code
We also fixed activity.filter_and_sort to take user_ids.
This fixes an issue where if you saved a Python file (even just
changing whitespace) while casper tests were running, the Tornado
server being used would restart, triggering a confusing error like
this:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $
Traceback:
undefined:2
:4
Suite explicitly interrupted without any message given.
Change `from django.utils.timezone import now` to
`from django.utils import timezone`.
This is both because now() is ambiguous (could be datetime.datetime.now),
and more importantly to make it easier to write a lint rule against
datetime.datetime.now().
This reverts commit 7bf10ec74f.
Apparently, SockJS 1.1.1 is broken with the browser used in our legacy
desktop app, resulting in messages being silently not sent.
- Add websocket client to create connection with SockJS websocket server.
It contains callback method to launch after connection setup.
- Add '--websocket' parameter to 'check_send_receive_time' script to
check websocket connection.
- Add testing websocket connection to production installation checking.
- Add cronjob to launch websocket connection nagios test.
This makes it possible for Zulip Nagios monitoring to check for
problems impacting the websockets sending code path, which is what all
web users use.
Expose `is_mentioned` in `message` dict which contains
boolean value about our account is mentioned in the message
content or not.
This is already available via `flags`, but it seems worth making this
data point more explicit, given its importance in writing bots.
Fixes#2667.
A few functions had arguments removed without having their type
annotations updated accordingly. As a result mypy version 0.4.6
thinks that the first type in the annotation is supposed to be
the type of `self`, a new mypy feature which we are not intending
to use here.
