In #26122 we promoted all problem checks defined as class methods on AdminDashboardData to their own first-class ProblemCheck instances.
This PR continues that by promoting problem checks that are implemented as blocks as well. This includes updating a couple plugins that have problem checks.
Why this change?
Google does not yet publish binaries for chrome and chromedriver for
`linux/arm64`. In 484954ec4c, we attempted
to add support for running system tests on `linux/arm64` by switching to
Firefox but our system tests seem to make lots of assumptions about
running on chromium based browsers so there are some tests that don't work in Firefox.
This commit works around the lack of chrome and chromedriver binaries by
doing the following:
1. Adds a `DISCOURSE_SYSTEM_TEST_CHROMIUM` ENV variable which when set to
`1` will allow us to run system tests using a chromium binary. Chromium
binaries for `linux/arm64` are available and since Chrome is Chromium based, all of our
system tests "should pass" even when running against a Chromium binary. I don't expect
this to be perfect but I expect it to be better than running against Firefox. This change buys us time
until Chrome finally ships binaries for `linux/arm64`.
2. Adds a `DISCOURSE_SYSTEM_TEST_CHROMEDRIVER_PATH` ENV variable to
allow the chromedriver path to be configured. We need this because
the [electron project](https://github.com/electron/electron/releases) actually
releases chromewebdriver for `linux/arm64` so someone running
`linux/arm64` can download the necessary chromedriver from the
project instead of relying on selenium-manager.
This change is also important for us to support [discourse_test](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/main/image/discourse_test/Dockerfile) and [discourse_dev](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/main/image/discourse_dev/Dockerfile) images targeted at `linux/arm64`.
We never use that information and this also fixes an issue with the BCC plugin which ends up triggering a rate-limit because we were publishing a "NEW_PRIVATE_MESSAGE" to the user sending the BCC for every recipients 💥

Why this change?
According to https://web.dev/articles/preload-critical-assets,
> By preloading a certain resource, you are telling the browser that you would like to fetch it sooner than the browser would otherwise discover it because you are certain that it is important for the current page.
The preload resource hint is meant to tell the browser to fetch
resources that it would not discover upfront or early. However, we are
not using it the right way because we are literally adding the resource
hint right before a `<script>` tag which means the browser would have
discovered the resource even without the resource hint.
What does this change do?
This commit removes the preload resource hint which are added right
before script tags since the optimization here is highly questionable at the expense of making
our initial DOM larger.
Why this change?
In https://web.dev/articles/preconnect-and-dns-prefetch, it describes
how hinting to the browser to preconnect to domains which we will
eventually use the connection for can help improve the time it takes to
load a page.
We are putting this behind an experimental flag so that we can test and
profile this in a production environment.
What does this change introduce?
Introduce a hidden experimental `experimental_preconnect_link_header`
site setting which when enabled will add the `preconnect` and
`dns-prefetch` resource hints to the response headers for full page load
requests.
Why this change?
This is a first pass at styling the editor for creating/editing/updating
an objects typed theme setting. Only the desktop view is being
considered at the current moment.
The objects typed theme setting is still behind a feature flag at this moment so there is no need for us to get the styling perfect. The purpose of this PR is to get us to a state which we can quickly iterate with a designer on.
This commit makes it so the site settings filter controls and
the list of settings input editors themselves can be used elsewhere
in the admin UI outside of /admin/site_settings
This allows us to provide more targeted groups of settings in different
UI areas where it makes sense to provide them, such as on plugin pages.
You could open a single page for a plugin where you can see information
about that plugin, change settings, and configure it with custom UIs
in the one place.
In future we will do this in "config areas" for other parts of the
admin UI.
This commit moves the generation of category background CSS from the
server side to the client side. This simplifies the server side code
because it does not need to check which categories are visible to the
current user.
This commit operates at three levels of abstraction:
1. We want to prevent user history rows from being unbounded in size.
This commit adds rails validations to limit the sizes of columns on
user_histories,
2. However, we don't want to prevent certain actions from being
completed if these columns are too long. In those cases, we truncate
the values that are given and store the truncated versions,
3. For endpoints that perform staff actions, we can further control
what is permitted by explicitly validating the params that are given
before attempting the action,
Why this change?
When editing a objects typed theme setting, the input fields which are
rendered should include a description so that the user knows the purpose
of the field which they are changing.
What does this change do?
This change adds support for adding description to each property in the
schema for an object by following a given convention in the locale file.
For a schema like this:
```
objects_setting:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
name:
type: string
required: true
links:
type: objects
schema:
name: link
properties:
name:
type: string
required: true
validations:
max_length: 20
url:
type: string
```
Description for each property in the object can be added like so:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name: <description for the name property>
links:
name: <description for the name property in link>
url: <description for the url property in link>
```
If the a description is not present, the input field will simply not
have an description.
Also note that a description for a theme setting can now be added like
so:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
some_other_setting: <This will be used as the description>
objects_setting:
description: <This will also be used as the description>
```
In AdminDashboardData we have a bunch of problem checks implemented as methods on that class. This PR absolves it of the responsibility by promoting each of those checks to a first class ProblemCheck. This way each of them can have their own priority and arbitrary functionality can be isolated in its own class.
Think "extract class" refactoring over and over. Since they were all moved we can also get rid of the @@problem_syms class variable which was basically the old version of the registry now replaced by ProblemCheck.realtime.
In addition AdminDashboardData::Problem value object has been entirely replaced with the new ProblemCheck::Problem (with compatible API).
Lastly, I added some RSpec matchers to simplify testing of problem checks and provide helpful error messages when assertions fail.
With the new admin sidebar restructure, we have a link to "Installed plugins". We would like to ensure that when the admin is searching for a plugin name like "akismet" or "automation" this link will be visible. Also when entering the plugins page, related plugins should be highlighted.
Why this change?
Previously, we identified that ActiveRecord's PostgreSQL adapter
executes 3 db queries each time a new connection is created. The 3 db
queries was identified when we looked at the `pg_stats_statement` table
on one of our multisite production cluster. At that time, the hypothesis
is that because we were agressively reaping and creating connections,
the db queries executed each time a connection is created is wasting
resources on our database servers. However, we didn't see any the needle
move much on our servers after deploying the patch so we have decided to
drop this patch as it makes it harder for us to upgrade ActiveRecord in
the future.
Why this change?
Prior to this change, there is no description being displayed for
objects typed theme setting because we were rendering a button instead
of the components for the various setting types which will render the
setting's description.
What does this change do?
1. Introduce `SiteSettings::Description` compoment to centralise the HTML
being rendered across all settings component.
2. Renders the `SiteSettings::Description` component after the edit
button in `site_setting.hbs`.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.

Avoid sending user emails if @ mentioning a staged user
Some cases, unknowingly mentioning a staged user would invite
them into topics, sending them an email about it.
Previously, if the sso= payload was invalid Base64, but signed correctly, there would be no useful log or error. This commit improves things by:
- moving the base64 check before the signature checking so that it's properly surfaced
- split the ParseError exception into PayloadParseError and SignatureError
- add user-facing errors for both of those
- add/improve spec for both
There are a couple of reasons for this.
The first one is practical, and related to eager loading. Since /lib is not eager loaded, when the application boots, ProblemCheck["identifier"] will be nil because the child classes aren't loaded.
The second one is more conceptual. There turns out to be a lot of inter-dependencies between the part of the problem check system that live in /app and the parts that live in /lib, which probably suggests it should all go in /app.
Why this change?
On the `/admin/customize/themes/<:id>` route, we allow admins to edit
all settings via a settings editor. Prior to this change, trying to edit
and save a typed objects theme settings will result in an error on the
server.
This change creates a user setting that they can toggle if
they don't want to receive unread notifications when someone closes a
topic they have read and are watching/tracking it.
* A11Y: Update bulk selection keyboard shortcuts
Still a draft, but in current state this:
- adds `shift+b` as a keyboard shortcut to toggle bulk select
- adds `shift+d` as a keyboard shortcut to dismiss selected topic(s) (this
replaces `x r` and `x t` shortcuts)
- adds `x` as a keyboard shortcut to toggle selection (while in bulk select mode)
- fixes a bug with the `shift+a` shortcut, which was not working properly
Note that there is a breaking change here. Previously we had:
- `x r` to dismiss new topics
- `x t` to dismiss unread topics
However, this meant that we couldn't use `x` for selection, because the
itsatrap library does not allow the same character to be used both as a
single character shortcut and as the start of a sequence. The proposed
solution here is more consistent with other apps (Gmail, Github) that use
`x` to toggle selection.
Also, we never show both "Dismiss New" and "Dismiss Unread" in the same
screen, hence it makes sense to consolidate both actions under `shift+d`.
* Address review
Why this change?
Before this change, the new navigation item in the topic list will be
hidden when there are no new or unread topics for the user. We have
started to find this behaviour confusing UX wise so we decided to stop
hiding it.
Why this change?
This is a regression from introduced in
5c1147adf3 where dismissing unread topics
was changing the notification level of the topics instead of just
dismissing the unread posts.
What does this change do?
1. Bring back the previous implementation of the action
2. Fix the system test that was supposed to catch the problem but did
not.
When "lazy load categories" is enabled, the CategoryDrop component will
render at most 15 categories. If there are more categories, a "Show
more" link pointing to the categories page will be displayed.
Why this change?
Assertions against the database in a system test is not reliable because
the request sent from the client side may not have been processed when
the query to the database has been run.
The test was added to prevent a regression for 63119144ff
but it turns out that the test will still prevent the regression even if
we do not assert against the state in the database.
The build is broken due to some changes not being staged when I pushed the previous PR. The assertions that check that a job has been scheduled needs to be updated to reflect the new name.
