Extends the URL redirect system used for documentation pages to corporate
landing pages. This makes it easier and consistent for contributors who
work on both areas to create new URL redirects when needed.
Creates `zerver.lib.url_redirects.py` to record old and new URLs
for documentation pages that have been renamed/moved and need URL
redirects.
This file is then used by `zproject.urls.py` to redirect links and
by `zerver.test.test_urls.py` to test that all of the old URLs
return a success response with a common page header/text depending
on the type of redirect (help center, policy, or API).
Adds a section to contributor docs on writing documentation for
how to use this redirect system when renaming a help center or api
documentation page.
Fixes#21946. Fixes#17897.
This eliminates the possibility of having `request.user` as
`RemoteZulipServer` by refactoring it as an attribute of `RequestNotes`.
So we can effectively narrow the type of `request.user` by testing
`user.is_authenticated` in most cases (except that of `SCIMClient`) in
code paths that require access to `.format_requestor_for_logs` where we
previously expect either `UserProfile` or `RemoteZulipServer` backed by
the implied polymorphism.

We use this decorator on subclasses of `MigrationsTestCase`, which does
not have `self`s being `MigrationsTestCase`, but the corresponding
subclass.

A request that has went through the auth middleware shouldn't have
`.user` being `None`. We should use `AnonymousUser` by default to
represent unauthenticated users.

We wrap methods of the django test client for the test suite, and
type keyword variadic arguments as `ClientArg` as it might called
with a mix of `bool` and `str`.
This is problematic when we call the original methods on the test
client as we attempt to unpack the dictionary of keyword arguments,
which has no type guarantee that certain keys that the test client
requires to be bool will certainly be bool.
For example, you can call
`self.client_post(url, info, follow="invalid")` without getting a
mypy error while the django test client requires `follow: bool`.
The unsafely typed keyword variadic arguments leads to error within
the body the wrapped test client functions as we call
`django_client.post` with `**kwargs` when django-stubs gets added,
making it necessary to refactor these wrappers for type safety.
The approach here minimizes the need to refactor callers, as we
keep `kwargs` being variadic while change its type from `ClientArg`
to `str` after defining all the possible `bool` arguments that might
previously appear in `kwargs`. We also copy the defaults from the
django test client as they are unlikely to change.
The tornado test cases are also refactored due to the change of
the signature of `set_http_headers` with the `skip_user_agent` being
added as a keyword argument. We want to unconditionally set this flag to
`True` because the `HTTP_USER_AGENT` is not supported. It also removes a
unnecessary duplication of an argument.
This is a part of the django-stubs refactorings.

This prevents us from relying on a side-effect of `allocate_handler_id`
that monkey-patches `handler_id` on the `AsyncDjangoHandler` object,
allowing mypy to acknowledge the existence of `handler_id` as an `int`.

Since `HttpResponse` is an inaccurate representation of the
monkey-patched response object returned by the Django test client, we
replace it with `_MonkeyPatchedWSGIResponse` as `TestHttpResponse`.
This replaces `HttpResponse` in zerver/tests, analytics/tests, coporate/tests,
zerver/lib/test_classes.py, and zerver/lib/test_helpers.py with
`TestHttpResponse`. Several files in zerver/tests are excluded
from this substitution.
This commit is auto-generated by a script, with manual adjustments on certain
files squashed into it.

As detailed in the comments, the default behavior is undesirable for us
because we can't really predict all possibilities of exceptions that may
be raised - and thus putting str(e) in the http response is potentially
insecure as it may leak some unexpected sensitive information that was
in the exception.
As a hypothetical example - KeyError resulting from some buggy
some_dict[secret_string] call would leak information. Though of course
we aim to never write code like that.
This better matches the title of the page and more generally our
conventions around naming /help/ articles. We include a redirect
because this is referenced from Welcome Bot messages, and we
definitely don't want those links to break.
This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
These changes are all independent of each other; I just didn’t feel
like making dozens of commits for them.

This prevents a memory leak arising from Python’s inability to collect
a reference cycle from a WeakKeyDictionary value to its key

This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
This migrates some mocked Request class and mocked request achieved
with namedtuple in test_decorators and test_mirror_users to use the
refactored HostMockRequest.
Since weakref cannot be used with namedtuple, this old way of mocking a
request object should be migrated to using HostRequestMock. Only after
this change we can extract client from the request object and store it
via ZulipRequestNotes.
* Move content on moving topics between streams to a dedicated
article. We advertise it as "move content" to hint that one can move
messages or split topics, and link to it.
* This deletes change-the-topic-of-a-message, because the same content
is already covered in rename-a-topic.
* This commit mostly just moves content between articles. Most of that
content was redundant with the first few paragraphs of the surviving
"rename a topic" article. The former "This is useful for" se ntence
was adapted to the remaining article.
* This commit also adds a redirect for the removed article, and
updates related links.
