SiteSettingExtension triggers message bus which re-establishes a
DB connection in `SiteSettingExtension#process_message`. That happens
concurrently and a test that requires a connection to the db will
fail when the reconnection is happening.
This refactors it so "Defaults provider" is only responsible for "defaults"
Locale handling and management of locale settings is moved back into
SiteSettingExtension
This eliminates complex state management using DistributedCache and makes
it way easier to test SiteSettingExtension
This change-set allows setting different defaults for different locales.
It also:
- Adds extensive testing around site setting validation
- raises deprecation error if site setting has the default property based on env
- relocated site settings for dev and tests in the initializer
- deprecated client_setting in the site setting's loading process
- ensure it raises when a enum site setting being set
- default_locale is promoted to `required` category.
- fixes incorrect default setting and validation
- fixes ensure type check for site settings
- creates a benchmark for site setting
- sets reasonable defaults for Chinese
Due to https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/9298 it is a huge pain
to remove ENV vars when composing images, allow us to simply treat "blank"
as a ENV var that is not being shadowed. In general we always supply a
value to ENV vars we are shadowing.
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.
If a site setting has `shadowed_by_global: true` then, if
a `GlobalSetting` exists with the same name then that value
will be used instead. Additionally, the setting will be hidden.
This is useful in a multisite environment for private settings
such as API keys. You want to set it globally, yet not display
the key to customers.
