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
This reverts commit 993f847a2c.
There is an edge case where the link click redirect fails when the URL has trailing slash. Need to figure out a better fix for this.
Some URLs in browsers are non compliant and contain twos `#` this commit adds
special handling for this edge case by auto encoding any fragments containing `#`
This was an indentation mistake introduced in 44eba0b. Pretty understandable, considering we are indented 8 levels deep in this method. Will follow-up with a refactor to improve this.
Also acquire a transaction per link instead of failing when
any of the links can't be processed.
This prevents ActiveRecord from rolling back the transaction
and the next SQL statement sent to PG will fail. This is
however hard to test as it only happens when there are
two competing process trying to process this method at the
same time.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

* `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.
