This patch replaces the parameters provided to a service through
`params` by the contract object.
That way, it allows better consistency when accessing input params. For
example, if you have a service without a contract, to access a
parameter, you need to use `params[:my_parameter]`. But with a contract,
you do this through `contract.my_parameter`. Now, with this patch,
you’ll be able to access it through `params.my_parameter` or
`params[:my_parameter]`.
Some methods have been added to the contract object to better mimic a
Hash. That way, when accessing/using `params`, you don’t have to think
too much about it:
- `params.my_key` is also accessible through `params[:my_key]`.
- `params.my_key = value` can also be done through `params[:my_key] =
value`.
- `#slice` and `#merge` are available.
- `#to_hash` has been implemented, so the contract object will be
automatically cast as a hash by Ruby depending on the context. For
example, with an AR model, you can do this: `user.update(**params)`.
Currently in services, we don’t make a distinction between input
parameters, options and dependencies.
This can lead to user input modifying the service behavior, whereas it
was not the developer intention.
This patch addresses the issue by changing how data is provided to
services:
- `params` is now used to hold all data coming from outside (typically
user input from a controller) and a contract will take its values from
`params`.
- `options` is a new key to provide options to a service. This typically
allows changing a service behavior at runtime. It is, of course,
totally optional.
- `dependencies` is actually anything else provided to the service (like
`guardian`) and available directly from the context object.
The `service_params` helper in controllers has been updated to reflect
those changes, so most of the existing services didn’t need specific
changes.
The options block has the same DSL as contracts, as it’s also based on
`ActiveModel`. There aren’t any validations, though. Here’s an example:
```ruby
options do
attribute :allow_changing_hidden, :boolean, default: false
end
```
And here’s an example of how to call a service with the new keys:
```ruby
MyService.call(params: { key1: value1, … }, options: { my_option: true }, guardian:, …)
```
Toggle the button to enable the experimental site setting from "What's new" announcement.
The toggle button is displayed when:
- site setting exists and is boolean;
- potentially required plugin is enabled.
Creating or updating flags generates global side effects. Sometimes it
seems the state can leak from the flag specs.
This is probably related to the use of `fab!`. This patch replaces those
calls with standard `let`s. While the overall performances of these
tests will be a little less good, their state should not leak anymore.
* Add migrations to ensure password hash is synced across users & user_passwords
* Persist password-related data in user_passwords instead of users
* Merge User#expire_old_email_tokens with User#expire_tokens_if_password_changed
* Add post deploy migration to mark password-related columns from users table as read-only
* Refactored UserPassword#confirm_password? and changes required to accommodate hashing the password after validations
If you have the admin dashboard open, and one of the admin notices listed has already been dismissed (e.g. in another tab, or by another admin) we would show an ugly "FAILED" modal.
This change makes the admin dismiss endpoint idempotent. If the admin notice is already destroyed, then respond with 200. This will also correctly remove it from the list in the front-end.
This will help to enforce a consistent pattern for creating service
actions.
This patch also namespaces actions and policies, making everything
related to a service available directly in
`app/services/<concept-name>`, making things more consistent at that
level too.
his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
- fetch models inside services
- validate `user_id` in contracts
- use policy objects
- extract more logic to actions
- write specs for services and action
* add data migration to keep only unexpired or most recently expired user password
* refactor to 1:1 relationship between User and UserPassword
* add migration to remove redundant indexes on user passwords
In this PR we introduced a new setting `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth` which disables enforce 2FA when the user is authenticated with an external provider.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27506
However, with the first registration with an external provider, we authenticate the user right after activation. In that case, we need to also keep information that the user was authenticated with an external OAuth provider.
We need a way to disable certain checks programatically, e.g. on Discourse hosting. This PR adds a configuration option for this, and makes it so that disabled checks aren't run as part of #run_all.
Currently the push_notification_time_window_mins is set to 10
minutes by default. We want to change this to 1 minute, which is the
delay it has been set to on meta and our internal site already for over
a year now.
This conforms to the expectation users have that notifications are
delivered close to immediately.
This change ensures native push notifications respect the site setting for push_notification_time_window_mins. Previously only web push notifications would account for the delay, now we can bring more consistency between Discourse in browser vs Hub, by applying the same delay strategy to both forms of push notifications.
We support a low-level construct called "inline checks", which you can use to register a problem ad-hoc from within application code.
Problems registered by inline checks never show up in the admin dashboard, this is because when loading the dashboard, we run all realtime checks and look for problems. Because of an oversight, we considered inline checks to be "realtime", causing them to be run and clear their problem status.
To fix this, we don't consider inline checks to be realtime, to prevent them from running when loading the admin dashboard.
There is a bug with chat type flags - "An error occurred: Applies to is not included in the list"
Flag.valid_applies_to_types is a set of core types and types registered by plugins `Set.new(DEFAULT_VALID_APPLIES_TO | DiscoursePluginRegistry.flag_applies_to_types)`
Using lamba should ensure that valid values are calculated dynamically.
Our old group SMTP SSL option was a checkbox,
but this was not ideal because there are actually
3 different ways SSL can be used when sending
SMTP:
* None
* SSL/TLS
* STARTTLS
We got around this before with specific overrides
for Gmail, but it's not flexible enough and now people
want to use other providers. It's best to be clear,
though it is a technical detail. We provide a way
to test the SMTP settings before saving them so there
should be little chance of messing this up.
This commit also converts GroupEmailSettings to a glimmer
component.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
Originally in 964da21817
we hid the SMTPAuthenticationError message except in
very specific cases. However this message often contains
helpful information from the mail provider, for example
here is a response from Office365:
> 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, user is locked by your
organization's security defaults policy. Contact your administrator.
So, we will show the error message in the modal UI instead
of supressing it with a generic message to be more helpful.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
Both office365 and outlook SMTP servers need LOGIN
SMTP authentication instead of PLAIN (which is what
we are using by default). This commit uses that
unconditionally for these servers, and also makes
sure to use STARTTLS for them too.
We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.
This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.
Internal topic: t/130713.
The mistake was made when flags were moved to the database. The `notify_moderators` (something else) flag should be the last position on the list.
This commit contains 3 changes:
- update fixtures order;
- remove position and enable from fixtures (they can be overridden by admin and we don't want seed to restore them);
- migration to fix data if the order was not changed by admin.
This commit updates the `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password`
method to update `UserPassword#password_expired_at` when an existing
`UserPassword` record exists with the same `password_salt`,
`password_hash` and `password_algorithm`. This is to prevent the unique
validation error on `UserPassword#user_id` and
`UserPassword#password_hash` from being raised when the method is called
twice for a user that has not changed its password.
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
When "unicode_usernames" is enabled, calling the "user_path" helper with a username containing some non ASCII character will break due to the route constraint we have on username.
This fixes the issue by always encoding the username before passing it to the "user_path" helper.
