* FEATURE: track stats around failing scheduled jobs
Discourse.job_exception_stats can now be used to gather stats around how
many regular scheduled jobs failed in the current process.
This will be consumed by the Prometheus plugin and potentially other
monitoring plugins.
Our theme system is very complex and it can take a while to figure out how to invalidate the various types of caches that are used throughout the theme system. So, having a single helper method that invalidates everything can be useful in emergency situations where there is no time to read through the code and figure out how to clear the various caches.
Internal ticket: t64732.
Previously, accessing the Rails app directly in development mode would give you assets from our 'legacy' Ember asset pipeline. The only way to run with Ember CLI assets was to run ember-cli as a proxy. This was quite limiting when working on things which are bypassed when using the ember-cli proxy (e.g. changes to `application.html.erb`). Also, since `ember-auto-import` introduced chunking, visiting `/theme-qunit` under Ember CLI was failing to include all necessary chunks.
This commit teaches Sprockets about our Ember CLI assets so that they can be used in development mode, and are automatically collected up under `/public/assets` during `assets:precompile`. As a bonus, this allows us to remove all the custom manifest modification from `assets:precompile`.
The key changes are:
- Introduce a shared `EmberCli.enabled?` helper
- When ember-cli is enabled, add ember-cli `/dist/assets` as the top-priority Rails asset directory
- Have ember-cli output a `chunks.json` manifest, and teach `preload_script` to read it and append the correct chunks to their associated `afterFile`
- Remove most custom ember-cli logic from the `assets:precompile` step. Instead, rely on Rails to take care of pulling the 'precompiled' assets into the `public/assets` directory. Move the 'renaming' logic to runtime, so it can be used in development mode as well.
- Remove fingerprinting from `ember-cli-build`, and allow Rails to take care of things
Long-term, we may want to replace Sprockets with the lighter-weight Propshaft. The changes made in this commit have been made with that long-term goal in mind.
tldr: when you visit the rails app directly, you'll now be served the current ember-cli assets. To keep these up-to-date make sure either `ember serve`, or `ember build --watch` is running. If you really want to load the old non-ember-cli assets, then you should start the server with `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`. (the legacy asset pipeline will be removed very soon)
Sometimes, the 'message' portion of an exception isn't enough to work out what's happening. In these cases, including the exception class name can help with debugging.
Also:
* Remove an unused method (#fill_email)
* Replace a method that was used just once (#generate_username) with `SecureRandom.alphanumeric`
* Remove an obsolete dev puma `tmp/restart` file logic
Under some conditions, these varied responses could lead to cache poisoning, hence the 'security' label.
Previously the Rails application would serve JSON data in place of HTML whenever Ember CLI requested an `application.html.erb`-rendered page. This commit removes that logic, and instead parses the HTML out of the standard response. This means that Rails doesn't need to customize its response for Ember CLI.
Discourse automatically sends a private message after backup or
restore finished. The private message used to contain the log inline
even when it was very long. A very long log can create issues because
the length of the post will be over the maximum allowed length of a
post. When that happens, Discourse will try to create an upload with
the logs. If that fails, it will trim the log and inline it.
Generating the client settings json involves santizing all string based
site settings. This is expensive as per our profile in production (~120ms) and one request after each deploy has
to pay this penalty.
The XML parsing of SVGs is done whenever the cache expires or on the
first load after a reboot. In one of our production instance, parsing
ranges from 30ms to 70ms which is not ideal. Instead, we've decided to
make a small memory trade off here by memoizing the core SVGs once on
boot to avoid parsing of the SVG files during the duration of a request.
The memozied hash will take up 57440 bytes or 0.05744 megabytes in size.
In production, each Unicorn child process will currently hold the
default locale in memory on first load. Instead, we should preload it in
the Unicorn master process so that the memory is immediately shared when
forking.
Also, the translations are only memoized on first load now and is
adding considerable overhead to the first few requests after a fresh
boot.
This commit makes a few changes to improve boot time in development environments. It will have no effect on production boot times.
- Skip the SchemaCache warmup. In development mode, the SchemaCache is refreshed every time there is a code change, so warmup is of limited use.
- Skip warming up PrettyText. This adds ~2s to each web worker's boot time. The vast majority of requests do not use PrettyText, so it is more efficient to defer its warmup until it's needed
- Skip the intentional 1 second pause during Unicorn worker forking. The comment (which also exists in Unicorn's documentation) suggests this works around a Unix signal handling bug, but I haven't been able to locate any more information. Skipping it in dev will significantly speed up boot. If we start to see issues, we can revert this change.
On my machine, this improves `/bin/unicorn` boot time from >10s to ~4s
* DEV: Give a nicer error when `--proxy` argument is missing
* DEV: Improve Ember CLI's bootstrap logic
Instead of having Ember CLI know which URLs to proxy or not, have it try
the URL with a special header `HTTP_X_DISCOURSE_EMBER_CLI`. If present,
and Discourse thinks we should bootstrap the application, it will
instead stop rendering and return a HTTP HEAD with a response header
telling Ember CLI to bootstrap.
In other words, any time Rails would otherwise serve up the HTML for the
Ember app, it stops and says "no, you do it."
* DEV: Support asset filters by path using a new options object
Without this, Ember CLI's bootstrap would not get the assets it wants
because the path it was requesting was different than the browser path.
This adds an optional request header to fix it.
So far this is only used by the styleguide.

The first argument to `Open3.capture3` can be an environment variable hash. In this case, we need to insert the `timeout` command after the env hash.
Previously certain images may lead to convert / identify to run for unreasonable
amounts of time
This adds a maximum amount of time these commands can run prior to forcing
them to stop
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.

ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
- Bump rails_failover for new per-backend callback feature
- If the master backend fails over, make all sites readonly. And vice-versa for fallback
- If a single backend fails over, make that individual site readonly. And vice-versa for fallback
- When a single backend fails, also check connection to the master backend
This reverts commit e3de45359f.
We need to improve out strategy by adding a cache breaker with this change ... some assets on CDNs and clients may have incorrect CORS headers which can cause stuff to break.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
In the near future, we will be swtiching to PG headlines to generate the
search blurb. As such, we need to replace audio and video links in the
raw data used for headline generation. This also means that we avoid
replacing links each time we need to generate the blurb.
