Why this change?
This is a follow up to 897be75941.
When updating `net-smtp` from `0.4.x` to `0.5.x`, our test suite passed
but the error `ArgumentError: SMTP-AUTH requested but missing user name`
was being thrown in production leading to emails being failed to send
out via SMTP.
This commit adds a test to ensure that our production SMTP settings will
at least attemp to connect to an SMTP server.
For performance reasons we don't automatically add fabricated users to trust level auto-groups. However, when explicitly passing a trust level to the fabricator, in 99% of cases it means that trust level is relevant for the test, and we need the groups.
This change makes it so that when a trust level is explicitly passed to the fabricator, the auto-groups are refreshed. There's no longer a need to also pass refresh_auto_groups: true, which means clearer tests, fewer mistakes, and less confusion.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
We have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.

Note: In the original setting, "posts" is plural. I have changed this to "post" singular in the new setting to match others.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.

The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
Preloading just metadata is not always respected by browsers, and
sometimes the whole video will be downloaded. This switches to using a
placeholder image for the video and only loads the video when the play
button is clicked.
This method is a huge footgun in production, since it calls
the Redis KEYS command. From the Redis documentation at
https://redis.io/commands/keys/:
> Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in
production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when
it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for
debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout.
Don't use KEYS in your regular application code.
Since we were only using `delete_prefixed` in specs (now that we
removed the usage in production in 24ec06ff85)
we can remove this and instead rely on `use_redis_snapshotting` on the
particular tests that need this kind of clearing functionality.
Watched words were converted to regular expressions containing \W, which
handled only ASCII characters. Using [^[:word]] instead ensures that
UTF-8 characters are also handled correctly.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
This fixes a longstanding issue for sites with the
secure_uploads setting enabled. What would happen is a scenario
like this, since we did not check all places an upload could be
linked to whenever we used UploadSecurity to check whether an
upload should be secure:
* Upload is created and used for site setting, set to secure: false
since site setting uploads should not be secure. Let's say favicon
* Favicon for the site is used inside a post in a private category,
e.g. via a Onebox
* We changed the secure status for the upload to true, since it's been
used in a private category and we don't check if it's originator
was a public place
* The site favicon breaks :'(
This was a source of constant consternation. Now, when an upload is _not_
being created, and we are checking if an existing upload should be
secure, we now check to see what the first record in the UploadReference
table is for that upload. If it's something public like a site setting,
then we will never change the upload to `secure`.
This patch introduces a cookies rotator as indicated in the Rails
upgrade guide. This allows to migrate from the old SHA1 digest to the
new SHA256 digest.
Adds stats for API and user API requests similar to regular page views.
This comes with a new report to visualize API requests per day like the
consolidated page views one.

This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
This commit introduces a new site setting: `block_hotlinked_media`. When enabled, all attempts to hotlink media (images, videos, and audio) will fail, and be replaced with a linked placeholder. Exceptions to the rule can be added via `block_hotlinked_media_exceptions`.
`download_remote_image_to_local` can be used alongside this feature. In that case, hotlinked images will be blocked immediately when the post is created, but will then be replaced with the downloaded version a few seconds later.
This implementation is purely server-side, and does not impact the composer preview.
Technically, there are two stages to this feature:
1. `PrettyText.sanitize_hotlinked_media` is called during `PrettyText.cook`, and whenever new images are introduced by Onebox. It will iterate over all src/srcset attributes in the post HTML and check if they're allowed. If not, the attributes will be removed and replaced with a `data-blocked-hotlinked-src(set)` attribute
2. In the `CookedPostProcessor`, we iterate over all `data-blocked-hotlinked-src(set)` attributes and check whether we have a downloaded version of the media. If yes, we update the src to use the downloaded version. If not, the entire media element is replaced with a placeholder. The placeholder is labelled 'external media', and is a link to the offsite media.
When we build and send emails using MessageBuilder and Email::Sender
we add custom headers defined in SiteSetting.email_custom_headers.
However this was causing errors in cases where the custom headers
defined a header that we already specify in outbound emails (e.g.
the Precedence: list header for topic/post emails).
This commit makes it so we always use the header value defined in Discourse
core if there is a duplicate, discarding the custom header value
from the site setting.

This PR enables custom email dark mode styles by default that were added here.
There is currently poor support for dark mode queries in mail clients. The main beneficiary of these changes will be Apple Mail and Outlook.

Previously we only supported a single 'required tag group' for a category. This commit allows admins to specify multiple required tag groups, each with their own minimum tag count.
A new category_required_tag_groups database table replaces the existing columns on the categories table. Data is automatically migrated.
Tags (and tag groups) can be configured so that they can only be used in specific categories and (optionally) restrict topics in these categories to be able to add/use only these tags. These restrictions work as expected when a topic is created without going through the review queue; however, if the topic has to be reviewed by a moderator then these restrictions currently aren't checked before the topic is sent to the review queue, but they're checked later when a moderator tries to approve the topic. This is because if a user manages to submit a topic that doesn't meet the restrictions, moderators won't be able to approve and it'll be stuck in the review queue.
This PR prevents topics that don't meet the tags requirements from being sent to the review queue and shows the poster an error message that indicates which tags that cannot be used.

It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
Our discourse_public_exceptions middleware is designed to catch bubbled exceptions from lower in the stack, and then use `ApplicationController.rescue_with_handler` to render an appropriate error response.
When the request itself is invalid, we had an escape-hatch to skip re-dispatching the request to ApplicationController. However, it was possible to work around this by 'layering' the errors. For example, if you made a request which resulted in a 404, but **also** had some other invalidity, the escape hatch would not be triggered.
This commit ensures that these kind of 'layered' errors are properly handled, without logging warnings. It also adds detection for invalid JSON bodies and badly-formed multipart requests.
The user-facing behavior is unchanged. This commit simply prevents warnings being logged for invalid requests.
When redirecting to login, we store a destination_url cookie, which the user is then redirected to after login. We never want the user to be redirected to a JSON URL. Instead, we should return a 403 in these situations.
This should also be much less confusing for API consumers - a 403 is a better representation than a 302.
This only affects multisite Discourse instances (where multiple forums are served from a single application server). The vast majority of self-hosted Discourse forums do not fall into this category.
On affected instances, this vulnerability could allow encrypted session cookies to be re-used between sites served by the same application instance.
This commit adds the RailsMultisite middleware in test mode when Rails.configuration.multisite is true. This allows for much more realistic integration testing. The `multisite_spec.rb` file is rewritten to avoid needing to simulate a middleware stack.
Mixing multisite and standard specs can lead to issues (e.g. when using `fab!`)
Disabled the (upcoming https://github.com/discourse/rubocop-discourse/pull/11) rubocop rule for two files that have thoroughly tangled both types of specs.
