* 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
Previously we would bypass touching `Topic.updated_at` for whispers and post
recovery / deletions.
This meant that certain types of caching can not be done where we rely on
this information for cache accuracy.
For example if we know we have zero unread topics as of yesterday and whisper
is made I need to bump this date so the cache remains accurate
This is only half of a larger change but provides the groundwork.
Confirmed none of our serializers leak out Topic.updated_at so this is safe
spot for this info
At the moment edits still do not change this but it is not relevant for the
unread cache.
This commit also cleans up some specs to use the new `eq_time` matcher for
millisecond fidelity comparison of times
Previously `freeze_time` would fudge this which is not that clean.
When using the api and you provide an http header based api key any other
auth based information (username, external_id, or user_id) passed in as
query params will not be used and vice versa.
Followup to f03b293e6a
Now you can also make authenticated API requests by passing the
`api_key` and `api_username` in the HTTP header instead of query params.
The new header values are: `Api-key` and `Api-Username`.
Here is an example in cURL:
``` text
curl -i -sS -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3000/categories" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data;" \
-H "Api-Key: 7aa202bec1ff70563bc0a3d102feac0a7dd2af96b5b772a9feaf27485f9d31a2" \
-H "Api-Username: system" \
-F "name=7c1c0ed93583cba7124b745d1bd56b32" \
-F "color=49d9e9" \
-F "text_color=f0fcfd"
```
There is also support for `Api-User-Id` and `Api-User-External-Id`
instead of specifying the username along with the key.
* When an error is raised when checking route constraints, we
can only return true/false which either lets the request
through or return a 404 error. Therefore, we just skip
rate limiting here and let the controller handle the
rate limiting.
- 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
Defaults to Lax, can be disabled or set to Strict.
Strict will only work if you require login and use SSO. Otherwise when clicking on links to your site you will appear logged out till you refresh the page.
It appears that in some cases ios queues up requests up front
and "releases" them when tab gets focus, this allows for a certain
number of cookie misses for this case. Otherwise you get logged off.
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.
previously we supported blanket read and write for user API, this
change amends it so we can define more limited scopes. A scope only
covers a few routes. You can not grant access to part of the site and
leave a large amount of the information hidden to API consumer.
This feature ensures session cookie lifespan is extended
when user is online.
Also decreases session timeout from 90 to 60 days.
Ensures all users (including logged on ones) get expiring sessions.
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
