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.
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
- avoid access denied on bad cookie, instead just nuke it
- avoid marking a token unseen for first minute post rotation
- log path in user auth token logs
This relaxes our security in the following way
- prev auth token is always accepted as long as rotation
date is within our window of SiteSetting.maximum_session_age.hours
(previously old token expired within a minute of new one being seen)
- new auth token is marked unseen if we are presented with an old token
after we already saw new one
This attempts to fix an issue where ios webkit is not committing new cookies
Revamped system for managing authentication tokens.
- Every user has 1 token per client (web browser)
- Tokens are rotated every 10 minutes
New system migrates the old tokens to "legacy" tokens,
so users still remain logged on.
Also introduces weekly job to expire old auth tokens.
