In an earlier PR, we decided that we only want to block a domain if
the blocked domain in the SiteSetting is the final destination (/t/59305). That
PR used `FinalDestination#get`. `resolve` however is used several places
but blocks domains along the redirect chain when certain options are provided.
This commit changes the default options for `resolve` to not do that. Existing
users of `FinalDestination#resolve` are
- `Oneboxer#external_onebox`
- our onebox helper `fetch_html_doc`, which is used in amazon, standard embed
and youtube
- these folks already go through `Oneboxer#external_onebox` which already
blocks correctly
Our previous implementation used a simple `blocked_domain_array.include?(hostname)`
so some values were not matching. Additionally, in some configurations like ours, we'd used
"cat.*.dog.com" with the assumption we'd support globbing.
This change implicitly allows globbing by blocking "http://a.b.com" if "b.com" is a blocked
domain but does not actively do anything for "*".
An upcoming change might include frontend validation for values that can be inserted.
When rebaking a post we were invalidating _regular_ oneboxes but not inline oneboxes.
DEV: also renamed 'InlineOneboxer.purge' to 'InlineOneboxer.invalidate' to keep
the API consistent with 'Oneboxer.invalidate'
Discourse.cache is a more consistent method to use and offers clean fallback
if you are skipping redis
This is part of a larger change that both optimizes Discoruse.cache and omits
use of setex on $redis in favor of consistently using discourse cache
Bench does reveal that use of Rails.cache and Discourse.cache is 1.25x slower
than redis.setex / get so a re-implementation will follow prior to porting
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
