This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
* 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
After careful analysis of large data-sets it became apparent that avg_time
had no impact whatsoever on "best of" topic scoring. Calculating avg_time
was a very costly operation especially on large databases.
We have some longer term plans of introducing other weighting that is read
time based into our scoring for "best of" and "top" topics, but in the
interim to stop a large amount of work that is not achieving any value we
are removing the jobs.
Column removal will follow once we decide on a new replacement metric.
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
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

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.
It is not a setting, and only relevant in specs. The new API is:
```
Jobs.run_later! # jobs will be thrown on the queue
Jobs.run_immediately! # jobs will run right away, avoid the queue
```
Previously if you wanted to have jobs execute in test mode, you'd have
to do `SiteSetting.queue_jobs = false`, because the opposite of queue
is to execute.
I found this very confusing, so I created a test helper called
`run_jobs_synchronously!` which is much more clear about what it does.
- Notices are visible only by poster and trust level 2+ users.
- Notices are not generated for non-human or staged users.
- Notices are deleted when post is deleted.
We have the periodical job that regularly will rebake old posts. This is
used to trickle in update to cooked markdown. The problem is that each rebake
can issue multiple background jobs (post process and pull hotlinked images)
Previously we had no per-cluster limit so cluster running 100s of sites could
flood the sidekiq queue with rebake related jobs.
New system introduces a hard limit of 300 rebakes per 15 minutes across a
cluster to ensure the sidekiq job is not dominated by this.
We also reduced `rebake_old_posts_count` to 80, which is a safer default.
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

If a user performs a substantive edit of 20 chars or more during grace period
we will store a revision to track the change
This allows for better auditing of changes that happen during the grace period
