There were a bunch of authorization and well-formedness checks in
zerver.lib.actions.do_update_message that I moved to
zerver.views.messages.update_message_backend.
Reason: by convention, functions in actions.py complete their actions;
error checking should be done outside the file when possible.
Fixes: #1150.
This is controlled through the admin tab and a new field in the Realms table.
Notes:
* The admin tab setting takes a value in minutes, whereas the backend stores it
in seconds.
* This setting is unused when allow_message_editing is false.
* There is some generosity in how the limit is enforced. For instance, if the
user sees the hovering edit button, we ensure they have at least 5 seconds to
click it, and if the user gets to the message edit form, we ensure they have
at least 10 seconds to make the edit, by relaxing the limit.
* This commit also includes a countdown timer in the message edit form.
Resolves#903.
Correctly encode and decode strings in convert_html_to_markdown.
It wasn't possible to use universal_newlines=True since
Popen.communicate doesn't encode/decode strings correctly on
python 2.
Add methods assert_equals_response and assert_in_response to
AuthedTestCase. These methods make it convenient to check if
a string equals the contents of an HttpResponse's body or if a
string is a substring of the contents of an HttpResponse's body.
response.content is binary data, but code usually assumes it to
be text. Fix this by decoding response.content where required.
Don't do this in tests yet.
This is controlled through the admin tab and a new field in the Realms
table. This mirrors the behavior of the old hardcoded setting
feature_flags.disable_message_editing. Partially resolves#903.
This reverts commit f1f48f305e.
The use of sklearn unfortunately caused a substantial slowdown to the
Zulip provisioning process, which didn't seem worth it for a
relatively minor feature.
Originally this cache was used to transmit data from Django to Tornado
(and also for general message caching purposes), but now nothing
actually reads from this cache, so we can eliminate it.
Apparently, the message cache we were filling was completely useless
and unused, and furthermore, the cache we were filling as part of
restarting the server was also totally useless, since it didn't have
the messages users would be requesting.
The functions truncate_content, truncate_body and truncate_topic
are only meant to be used on text strings. So change its
parameter types from AnyStr to text_type.
Many stubs in xml.etree.ElementTree use Union[str, bytes] as
return type. Mypy wants us to correctly handle each case. This
is correct, but not useful for us since we know that we'll always
get str. So force the return value to text_type, to supress mypy
errors.
