This commit prefixes stream names in urls with stream ids,
so that the urls don't break when we rename streams.
strean name: foo bar.com%
before: #narrow/stream/foo.20bar.2Ecom.25
after: #narrow/stream/20-foo-bar.2Ecom.25
For new realms, everything is simple under the new scheme, since
we just parse out the stream id every time to figure out where
to narrow.
For old realms, any old URLs will still work under the new scheme,
assuming the stream hasn't been renamed (and of course old urls
wouldn't have survived stream renaming in the first place). The one
exception is the hopefully rare case of a stream name starting with
something like "99-" and colliding with another stream whose id is 99.
The way that we enocde the stream name portion of the URL is kind
of unimportant now, since we really only look at the stream id, but
we still want a safe encoding of the name that is mostly human
readable, so we now convert spaces to dashes in the stream name. Also,
we try to ensure more code on both sides (frontend and backend) calls
common functions to do the encoding.
Fixes#4713
Because we use access_stream_by_id here, and that checks for an active
subscription to interact with a private stream, this didn't work.
The correct fix to add an option to active_stream_by_id to accept an
argument indicating whether we need an active subscription; for this
use case, we definitely do not.
This fixes a bug where, when a user is unsubscribed from a stream,
they might have unread messages on that stream leak. While it might
seem to be a minor problem, it can cause significant problems for
computing the `unread_msgs` data structures, since it means we need to
add an extra filter for whether the user is still subscribed, either
in the backend or in the UI.
Fixes#7095.
We don't have our linter checking test files due to ultra-long strings
that are often present in test output that we verify. But it's worth
at least cleaning out all the ultra-long def lines.
We extract get_bulk_stream_subscriber_info() from this
function to remove some of the complexity. Also, in that
new function we avoid a hop to the database by querying
on stream ids instead of recipient ids. The query that
gets changed here does require a join to the recipient
table (to get the stream id), so it's a little bit of a
tradeoff.
The first method we extract to this library is
get_active_subscriptions_for_stream_id().
We also move num_subscribers_for_stream_id() to here, which
is slightly annoying (having the method on Stream was nice)
but avoids some circular dependency issues.
In do_send_messages, we only produce one dictionary for
the event queues, instead of different flavors for text
vs. html. This prevents two unnecessary queries to the
database.
It also means we only put one dictionary on the "message"
event queue instead of two, albeit a wider one that has
some values that won't be sent to the actual clients.
This wider dictionary from MessageDict.wide_dict is also
used for the `feedback_messages` queue and service bot
queues. Since the extra fields are possibly useful down
the road, and they'll just be ignored for now, we don't
bother to remove them. Also, those queue processors won't
have access to `content_type`, which they shouldn't need.
Fixes#6947
Add this field to the Stream model will prevent us from having
to look at realm data for several types of stream operations, which
can be prone to either doing extra database lookups or making
our cached data bloated.
Going forward, we'll set stream.is_zephyr to True whenever the
realm's string id is "zephyr".
This removes sender names from the message cache, since
they aren't guaranteed to be valid, and they're inexpensive
to add.
This commit will make the message cache entries smaller
by removing sender___full_name and sender__short_name
fields.
Then we add in the sender fields to the message payloads
by doing a query against the unique sender ids of the
messages we are processing.
This change leads to 2 extra database hops for most of
our message-related codepaths. The reason there are 2 hops
instead of 1 is that we basically re-calculate way too
much data to get a no-markdown dictionary.
This commit prepares us to introduce a StreamLite class. For
these tests, we don't care about the actual contents of the
Stream, just the right stream is there.
We now return user_ids for subscribers to streams in add-stream
events. This allows us to eliminate the UserLite class for
both bulk adds and bulk removes. It also simplifies some JS
code that already wanted to use user_ids, not emails.
Fixes#6898
We don't need full Realm objects to find DefaultStream
objects for a realm. So now a few functions related to
adding/removing default streams use realm_id for lookups.
Similarly, we don't need a full Stream object to find
out if a stream exists in DefaultStream, so we do id
lookups there as well.
This sets us up to use thinner objects in callers.
We now have a dedicated cache for active_user_ids() that only
stores a list of user_ids.
Before this commit, active_user_ids() used a cache of UserProfile
dictionaries, so it incurred unnecessary deserialization costs for
all the user fields that it sliced away in a list comprehension.
Because the cache is skinnier here, we also need to invalidate it
less frequently. Basically, all we care about is new users, realm
deactivations, and user deactivations.
It's hard to measure how much this will improve performance, because
the speedup for any operation here is pretty minor, but we use this
function a lot, so hopefully it will make the overall system more
healthy.
This is mostly a preparatory commit for an upcoming optimization
related to stream data, but it probably does save us an
occasional DB hop to the realm table.
This class encapsulates the mapping of stream ids to
recipient ids, and it is optimized for bulk use and
repeated use (i.e. it remembers values it already fetched).
This particular commit barely improves the performance
of gather_subscriptions_helper, but it sets us up for
further optimizations.
Long term, we may try to denormalize stream_id on to the
Subscriber table or otherwise modify the database so we
don't have to jump through hoops to do this kind of mapping.
This commit will help enable those changes, because we
isolate the mapping to this one new class.
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.
Admins need to know about private streams to delete them, even
if they are not subscribed. We send the minimal info possible
to the client to allow them to have a UI for that.
Unlike creating a stream, there's really no reason one would want to
call the function to create a realm while uncertain whether that realm
already existed.
This route is called only in `js/compose.js`, to handle autosubscribe.
That code doesn't check this "exists" field, because there's no need
-- the same information is already carried in whether the result was
success or failure. So just eliminate it.
This makes the logic here a little simpler. It also eliminates
another usage of the `data` parameter to `json_error`. I have half a
mind to eliminate that parameter, in favor of making `JsonableError`
subclasses whenever there's structured data to include, in particular
to get the benefits of typing. There are a couple of places where
that change isn't locally a clear win, but this is not one of them.
The SubscriptionAPITest class variables `realm` and `test_realm` stores
the same information and are redundant. I have eliminated all occurances
of self.realm and replaced with self.test_realm.
When the last user on a private stream is removed, the stream is no
longer possible to administer, and thus should be marked as
deactivated, so that default streams entries are removed and it no
longer appears in the UI as a non-administerable broken stream.
When we create a stream, we usually send a welcome message on the
stream itself as well as an announcement on the announcement stream,
but we no longer PM the individual users. Hopefully this will be
more pleasant for users (less spammy), and it also will make creating a
stream a lot faster.
We still send notifications when we add subscribers to an existing
stream.
This is one of the last major endpoints that were still done in the
pre-REST style.
While we're at it, we change the endpoint to expect a stream ID, not a
stream name.
This fixes most cases where we were assigning a user to
the var email and then calling get_user_profile_by_email with
that var.
(This was fixed mostly with a script.)
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
This is a better solution to the problem of how _pg_re_escape should
handle the null character. There's really no good reason to have a
null character in a stream name.
zerver/lib/actions: removed do_set_realm_* functions and added
do_set_realm_property, which takes in a realm object and the name and
value of an attribute to update on that realm.
zerver/tests/test_events.py: refactored realm tests with
do_set_realm_property.
Kept the do_set_realm_authentication_methods and
do_set_realm_message_editing functions because their function
signatures are different.
Addresses part of issue #3854.
This makes get_stream match get_realm, get_user_profile_by_email,
etc., in interface, and is more convenient for mypy annotations
because `get_stream` now doesn't return an Optional[Stream].
Our linter for translation strings shouldn't check test files, since
then we'll end up translating non-user-facing strings.
So we fix that, and actually add the opposite lint rule.
This is a fairly risky, invasive change that speeds up
stream deactivation by no longer sending subscription/remove
events for individual subscribers to all of the clients who
care about a stream. Instead, we let the client handle the
stream deactivation on a coarser level.
The back end changes here are pretty straightforward.
On the front end we handle stream deactivations by removing the
stream (as needed) from the streams sidebar and/or the stream
settings page. We also remove the stream from the internal data
structures.
There may be some edge cases where live updates don't handle
everything, such as if you are about to compose a message to a
stream that has been deactivated. These should be rare, as admins
generally deactivate streams that have been dormant, and they
should be recoverable either by getting proper error handling when
you try to send to the stream or via reload.
The goal of this library is to make it a lot easier to prevent bugs
like CVE-2017-0881 by having all of our views logic for fetching a
stream go through a couple carefully tested code paths.
A bug in Zulip's implementation of the "stream exists" endpoint meant
that any user of a Zulip server could subscribe to an invite-only
stream without needing to be invited by using the "autosubscribe"
argument.
Thanks to Rafid Aslam for discovering this issue.
This fixes a regression introduced by our migration to track
subscribers for all public streams, where now users who are added to
an invite-only stream were receiving a mark_subscribed event
for a stream their browser didn't know existed, causing an exception.
To fix this, we now send a stream create event to the browser just
before the user receives the notification that it was added to the
invite-only stream.
This changes bugdown to use the realm passed in by the caller (if any)
for rendering, fixing a problem where bots such as the notification
bot would have their messages rendering using the admin realm's
settings, not the settings of the realm their messages are being sent
into.
Also adds a test for the notification bot case.
Fixes#3215.
- Change `stream_name` into `stream_id` on some API endpoints that use
`stream_name` in their URLs to prevent confusion of `views` selection.
For example:
If the stream name is "foo/members", the URL would be trigger
"^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)/members$" and it would be confusing because
we intend to use the endpoint with "^streams/(?P<stream_name>.*)$" regex.
All stream-related endpoints now use stream id instead of stream name,
except for a single endpoint that lets you convert stream names to stream ids.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/2930#issuecomment-269576231
- Add `get_stream_id()` method to Zulip API client, and change
`get_subscribers()` method to comply with the new stream API
(replace `stream_name` with `stream_id`).
Fixes#2930.
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
Previously, we included a special subscribe button in new stream
notifications, but that had 2 problems:
(1) The subscribe button would render badly if the stream was renamed.
(2) There wasn't an easy way to look at the stream when deciding
whether to subscribe.
This fixes the second problem, but not really the first.
This adds support for only allowing normal users with account age
equal or greater than a "waiting period" threshold to create streams;
this is useful for open organizations that want new members to
understand the community before creating streams.
If create_stream_by_admins_only setting is set to True, only admin users
were able to create streams. Now normal users with account age greater
or equal than waiting period threshold can also create streams.
Account age is defined as number of days passed since the user had
created his account.
Fixes: #2308.
Tweaked by tabbott to clean up the actual can_create_streams logic and
the tests.
This includes making the default stream description setting into a
dict. That is an API change; we'll discuss it in the changelog but it
seems small enough to be OK.
With some small tweaks by tabbott to remove unnecessary backwards
compatibility code for the settings.
Fixes#2427.
Modify backend test of create_streams_if_needed so that the newly
created streams have descriptions.
Modify casperjs test of filling out stream_creation_form so that
the newly created stream has a description.
Fixes: #2428.
