* FEATURE: when we fail to ship topic timings attempt to retry
This change amends it so
1. Topic timings are treated as background requests and subject to more
aggressive rate limits.
2. If we notice an error when we ship timings we back off exponentially
The commit allows 405, 429, 500, 501, 502, 503 and 504 errors to be retried.
500+ errors usually happen when self hosters are rebuilding or some other
weird condition.
405 happens when site is in readonly.
429 happens when user is rate limited.
The retry cadence is hardcoded in AJAX_FAILURE_DELAYS, longest delay is
40 seconds, we may consider enlarging it.
After the last delay passes we give up and do not write timings to the
server.
* Address feedback
- Omit promise, no need to use promises in sendNextConsolidatedTiming
- Correct issue where >= -1 was used and > -1 was intended
- Use objects for consolidated timings instead of Array
- Stop using shift/unshift and instead use push / pop which are faster
* Move consolidated timing initialization to constructor
* Remove TODO and just console.warn if we have an issue
* FEATURE: add penalty options for take action
Add the ability to silence or suspend users from the "take action"
button when moderators are flagging posts. This allows for a more streamlined
active moderation workflow, when moderating against a topic directly.
When the server gets overloaded and lots of requests start queuing server
will attempt to shed load by returning 429 errors on background requests.
The client can flag a request as background by setting the header:
`Discourse-Background` to `true`
Out-of-the-box we shed load when the queue time goes above 0.5 seconds.
The only request we shed at the moment is the request to load up a new post
when someone posts to a topic.
We can extend this as we go with a more general pattern on the client.
Previous to this change, rate limiting would "break" the post stream which
would make suggested topics vanish and users would have to scroll the page
to see more posts in the topic.
Server needs this protection for cases where tons of clients are navigated
to a topic and a new post is made. This can lead to a self inflicted denial
of service if enough clients are viewing the topic.
Due to the internal security design of Discourse it is hard for a large
number of clients to share a channel where we would pass the full post body
via the message bus.
It also renames (and deprecates) triggerNewPostInStream to triggerNewPostsInStream
This allows us to load a batch of new posts cleanly, so the controller can
keep track of a backlog

I also took the opportunity with this commit to move some test specific
stuff out of `discourse-loader` which is loaded on the front end of the
application. The test module building now happens in the `test_helper`
bundle.
We can't use erb in Ember CLI (since it does not have Ruby) so this has
been ported to use our `javascript:update_constants` rake test instead.
Note we don't have to run this every time a notification type as it's
only used by fixtures to fill in some specific types we test against.
This is long overdue. We had a lot of (not linted) code to initialize
our test suite as part of the Ruby `test_helper.js` bundle.
This refactor moves that out to a `setup-tests` module, which imports
all the modules properly, rather than using `require`.
It also removes the global `server` variable which some tests were using
for pretender. Those tests are fixed, and in the case of widget tests,
support for a `pretend()` was added, which mimics our acceptance tests.
One problematic test was removed, which overwrites `/posts` - this could
break tons of other tests depending on order.
The prefixing logic is moved into a `prefixProtocol` function in lib:url.
This commit also renames an incorrectly named test and uses https as default instead of http, in 2020 it's reasonable to think we most likely want https and not http. User can still specify http if required.
This commit is also moving one test to a component test.
A followup to this commit would be to ensure every dropdowns are using a regex instead of the normalize/lowercase system we have now.
These are tricky because `module.exports` is used by nodejs files as a
global, which is OK. But we don't want to allow `module` in JS tests
for qunit without importing it first.
We used many global functions to handle tests when they should be
imported like other libraries in our application. This also gets us
closer to the way Ember CLI prefers our tests to be laid out.
This is where they should be as far as ember is concerned. Note this is
a huge commit and we should be really careful everything continues to
work properly.
