This commit optimises the database query generated by
`TopicsFilter#filter_categories` when the `-category:*` filter is used.
Previously, the method will add the `topics.category_id NOT IN
(<category ids to be excluded>)` filter to the resulting query. However,
we noticed that the performance of the query degrades as the number of
rows in the `topics` table grow and when the number of category ids to be
excluded is large.
Sample of query we ran on a large database in production to demonstrate
the improvement:
Before:
```
SELECT topics.id FROM topics WHERE topics.category_id NOT IN (83, 136, 149, 143, 153, 165, 161, 123, 155, 163, 144, 134, 69, 135, 158, 141, 151, 160, 131, 133, 89, 104, 150, 147, 132, 145, 108, 146, 122, 100, 128, 154, 95, 102, 140, 139, 88, 91, 87) ORDER BY topics.id DESC LIMIT 5;

This commit changes request method for "categories/search" from GET to
POST to make sure that long filters can be passed to the server. For
example, category selectors with many categories are setting the full
list of selected category IDs to ensure these are filtered out from the
list of choices. This can result in a long URL that exceeds the maximum
length.
This reverts commit 0f4520867b.
This has led to two problems:
1. An incompatibility with Cloudflare's "auto minify" feature. They've deprecated this feature because of incompatibility with modern JS syntax. But unfortunately it will remain enabled on existing properties until 2024-08-05.
2. Discourse fails to boot in Safari 15. This is strange, because Safari does support all the required features in our production JS bundles. Even more strangely, things start working as soon as you open the developer tools. That suggests the cause could be a Safari bug rather than a simple incompatibility.
Reverting while we work out a path forward on both those issues.
This commit switches `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use the
permalinks supplied by MaxMind to download the MaxMind databases as
specified in
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/updating-databases#directly-downloading-databases
which states:
```
To directly download databases, follow these steps:
1. In the "Download Links" column, click "Get Permalink(s)" for the desired database.
2. Copy the permalink(s) provided in the modal window.
3. Provide your account ID and your license key using Basic Authentication to authenticate.
```
Previously we are downloading from `https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download` but this is not
documented anyway on MaxMind's docs so this URL can in theory break
in the future without warning. Therefore, we are taking a proactive
approach to download the databases from MaxMind the recommended way
instead of relying on a hidden URL. This old way of downloading the
databases with only a license key will be deprecated in 3.3 and be
removed in 3.4.
In 95a82d608d, we lowered the default for
`Onebox.options.max_download_kb` from 10mb to 2mb for security hardening
purposes. However, this resulted in multiple bug reports where seemingly
nomral URLs stopped being oneboxed. It turns out that lowering
`Onebox.options.max_download_kb` resulted in `Onebox::Helpers::DownloadTooLarge` being raised
more often for more URLs in `Onebox::Helpers.fetch_response` which
`Onebox::Helpers.fetch_html_doc` relies on. When
`Onebox::Helpers::DownloadTooLarge` is raised in
`Onebox::Helpers.fetch_response`, we throw away whatever response body
which we have already downloaded at that point. This is not ideal
because Nokogiri can parse incomplete HTML documents and there is a
really high chance that the incomplete HTML document still contains the
information which we need for oneboxing.
Therefore, this commit updates `Onebox::Helpers.fetch_html_doc` to not
throw away the response body when the size of the response body exceeds
`Onebox.options.max_download_size`. Instead, we just take whatever
response which we have and get Nokogiri to parse it.
This can happen for various reasons including rate limiting and middleware bugs. This should resolve the warning we're seeing in the logs
```

decorator-transforms (https://github.com/ef4/decorator-transforms) is a modern replacement for babel's plugin-proposal-decorators. It provides a decorator implementation using modern browser features, without needing to enable babel's full suite of class feature transformations. This improves the developer experience and performance.
In local testing with Google's 'tachometer' tool, this reduces Discourse's 'init-to-render' time by around 3-4% (230ms -> 222ms).
It reduces our initial gzip'd JS payloads by 3.2% (2.43MB -> 2.35MB), or 7.5% (14.5MB -> 13.4MB) uncompressed.
This keeps coming up in user testing as something
we want to get rid of. The `navigation_menu` setting
has been set to sidebar by default for some time now,
and we are rolling out admin sidebar widely. It just
doesn't make sense to let people turn this off in
the first step of the wizard -- we _want_ people to
use the sidebar.
Whenever a post already failed "lightweight" validations, we skip all the expensive validations (that cooks the post or run SQL queries) so that we reply as soon as possible.
Also skip validating polls when there's no "[/poll]" in the raw.

When running `rake uploads:regenerate_missing_optimized`,
a `Discourse::InvalidAccess` will be raised if an SVG
file is being processed as `OptimizedImage.prepend_decoder!`
doesn't support the svg extension. This commit simply copies
the original SVG file as the thumbnail, just like currently
`OptimizedImage.create_for` does.
Ignored columns can only be dropped when its associated post-deploy
migration has been promoted to a regular migration. This is so because
Discourse doesn't rely on a schema file system to setup a brand new
database and thus the column information will be loaded by the
application first before the post-deploy migration runs.
- Use 'cheap-source-map' webpack config on low-memory machines
This results in worse quality sourcemaps in browser dev tools, but it significantly reduces memory use in our webpack build. In approximate local testing it drops from 1100mb to 590mb. This should make the rebuild process on low-memory machines much faster and less likely to trigger OOM errors.
In development, and on higher-memory machines, the higher-quality 'source-map' option is maintained.
- Disable Webpack's built-in `minimize` feature. Embroider already applies Terser after the webpack build is complete. There is no need to double-minimize the output.
- Update ember-cli-progress-ci to print to stderr instead of stdout. For some reason, pups (used by discourse_docker) buffers the stdout of commands and only prints when they are finished. stderr does not have this same limitation, so switching will mean sysadmins can see the progress of the ember build in real-time.
Given the number of variables it's hard to promise exact numbers. But, in my tests on a DO droplet with 1GB RAM (+2GB swap), this reduced the `ember build` portion of a `./launcher rebuild app` from ~50 minutes to ~15 minutes.
This commit adds a `isValidUrl` helper function to the context in
which theme migrations are ran in. This helper function is to make it
easier for theme developers to check if a string is a valid URL or path
when writing theme migrations. This can be helpful in cases when
migrating a string based setting to `type: objects` which contain `type:
string` properties with URL validations enabled.
This commit also introduces the `UrlHelper.is_valid_url?` method
which actually checks that the URL string is of the valid format instead of
only checking if the URL string is parseable which is what `UrlHelper.relaxed_parse` does
and is not sufficient for our needs.
This is a follow up of 5fcb7c262d
It was missing the case where secure uploads is enabled, which creates a copy of the upload no matter what.
So this checks for the original_sha1 of the uploads as well when checking for duplicates.
This commit introduces a few changes as a result of
customer issues with finding why a topic was relisted.
In one case, if a user edited the OP of a topic that was
unlisted and hidden because of too many flags, the topic
would get relisted by directly changing topic.visible,
instead of going via TopicStatusUpdater.
To improve tracking we:
* Introduce a visibility_reason_id to topic which functions
in a similar way to hidden_reason_id on post, this column is
set from the various places we change topic visibility
* Fix Post#unhide! which was directly modifying topic.visible,
instead we use TopicStatusUpdater which sets visibility_reason_id
and also makes a small action post
* Show the reason topic visibility changed when hovering the
unlisted icon in topic status on topic titles
This commit fixes a bug in theme settings migrations where values of `objects` typed theme settings aren't passed to migrations even when there are overriding values for those settings. What causes this bug is that, when creating the hash that contains all the overridden settings and will be passed to migrations, the values of `objects` typed settings are incorrectly retrieved from the `value` column (which is always nil for `objects` type) instead of `json_value`. `objects` settings are different from all other types in that they store their values in the `json_value` column and they need to be special-cased when retrieving their values.
Our 'page_view_crawler' / 'page_view_anon' metrics are based purely on the User Agent sent by clients. This means that 'badly behaved' bots which are imitating real user agents are counted towards 'anon' page views.
This commit introduces a new method of tracking visitors. When an initial HTML request is made, we assume it is a 'non-browser' request (i.e. a bot). Then, once the JS application has booted, we notify the server to count it as a 'browser' request. This reliance on a JavaScript-capable browser matches up more closely to dedicated analytics systems like Google Analytics.
Existing data collection and graphs are unchanged. Data collected via the new technique is available in a new 'experimental' report.
This commit fixes a bug in the `themes:update` rake task which resulted
in the ActiveRecord transaction not being rolled back when an error was
encountered. The transaction was first introduced in
7f0682f4f2 which changed a `begin..rescue`
block to `transaction do..rescue`. The problem with that change
prevented the transaction from ever rolling back as the code block
looks something like this:
```
transaction do
begin
update_theme
rescue => e
# surpress error
end
end
```
From the transaction's point of view now, it will never rollback even if
an error was encountered when updating the remote theme because it will
never see the error.
Instead we should have done something like this if we wanted to surpress
the errors encountered while still ensuring that the transaction is
rolled back.
```
begin
transaction do
update_theme
end
rescue => e
# surpress error
end
```
This is essential for us to determine which site is encountering an
error while updating remote themes. We are also including the theme's id
because themes can have the same name.
This service-worker caching functionality was disabled by default in 1c58395bca, and the setting to re-enable was marked as experimental. Now we are dropping all the related logic.
- Run the CSP-nonce-related middlewares on the generated response
- Fix the readonly mode checking to avoid empty strings being passed (the `check_readonly_mode` before_action will not execute in the case of these re-dispatched exceptions)
- Move the BlockRequestsMiddleware cookie-setting to the middleware, so that it is included even for unusual HTML responses like these exceptions
LinkedIn has grandfathered its old OAuth2 provider. This can only be used by existing apps. New apps have to use the new OIDC provider.
This PR adds a linkedin_oidc provider to core. This will exist alongside the discourse-linkedin-auth plugin, which will be kept for those still using the deprecated provider.
For e-mails, secure uploads redacts all secure images, and later uses the access control post to re-attached allowed ones. We pass the ID of this post through the X-Discourse-Post-Id header. As the name suggests, this assumes there's only ever one access control post. This is not true for activity summary e-mails, as they summarize across posts.
This adds a new header, X-Discourse-Post-Ids, which is used the same way as the old header, but also works for the case where an e-mail is associated with multiple posts.

This SQL tries to insert as much data as possible into the `user_stats` table by either calculating or by approximating stats based on existing. It also fixes an error in the calculation of `reply_count`which mistakenly contained all posts, not just replies.
This change also disables some steps in the `import:ensure_consistency` rake task by setting the `SKIP_USER_STATS` env variable. Otherwise, the rake task will overwrite the calculated data in the `user_stats` table with inaccurate data. I'm not changing or removing the logic from the rake task yet because other bulk import scripts seem to depend on it.
This modifier allows plugins to alter the outcome of
`should_secure_uploads?` on a Post record, for cases when
plugins need post-attached uploads to always be secure (or
not secure) in specific scenarios.
This commit changes enum typed theme objects property to be optional.
Previously, an enum typed property is always required but we have found
that this might not be ideal so we want to change it.
This method name is a bit confusing; with_secure_uploads implies
it may return a block or something with the uploads of the post,
and has_secure_uploads implies that it's checking whether the post
is linked to any secure uploads.
should_secure_uploads? communicates the true intent of this method --
which is to say whether uploads attached to this post should be
secure or not.
This commit changes `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use `File.join`
instead of `URI.join` when `GlobalSetting.maxmind_mirror_url` has been
configured. This is necessary because `URI.join` does not work the way I
expect it to work when I implemented it previously.
`URI.join("http://www.example.com/mirror", "test.tar.gz") results in
`http://www.example.com/test.tar.gz` instead of our expected
`http://www.exmaple.com/mirror/test.tar.gz`. For our simple use case
here, `File.join` is sufficient.
We will be collecting the logo URL and the site's default locale values along with existing basic details to display the site on the Discourse Discover listing page. It will be included only if the site is opted-in by enabling the "`include_in_discourse_discover`" site setting.
Also, we no longer going to use `about.json` and `site/statistics.json` endpoints retrieve these data. We will be using only the `site/basic-info.json` endpoint.
Doesn't actually seem to be used by any of our formatters, but let's send the proper data anyway for future-proofing. Followup to ff6cb1bc05 and 8098876bfa
When a user is manually deactivated, they should not be deleted by our background job that purges inactive users.
In addition, site settings keywords should accept an array of keywords.
In this PR, all references in the UI to the word "`upgrade`" are changed to "`update`". This is to differentiate the update process in self-hosted sites from the plan "upgrade" process in hosted sites.
Follow-up to the PR: https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager/pull/208
Why this change?
This allows downloading the MaxMind databases from a mirror in cases
where downloading directly from MaxMind's API endpoint is problematic
due to API limits.
Why this change?
We currently support `GlobalSetting.refresh_maxmind_db_during_precompile_days` which
should cache the maxmind databases on disk for the configured number of
days before it downloads the databases from maxmind again via the API.
This was previously added to help us avoid hitting the API rate limit from maxmind.
However, there was a bug in the `copy_maxmind` when we copied the latest
downloaded database to the cache directory. In particular, `FileUtils.cp` was called with
`preserve: true` which would preserve the modified time of the file
being copied. This is problematic because download the database from
maxmind on 2 April 2024 can give us a file with an mtime of 29 March
2024. If `GlobalSetting.refresh_maxmind_db_during_precompile_days` is
set to `2` for example, the cache will never be used since we will
think that the file has been downloaded for more than 2 days in our
checks.
What is the fix here?
While we want to preserve the owner and group of the file, we do not
want to preserve the modified time and hence we will call
`FileUtils.touch` when copying the file.
Why this change?
For a schema like this:
```
schema = {
name: "section",
properties: {
category_property: {
type: "categories",
required: true,
},
},
}
```
When the value of the property is set to an empty array, we are not
raising an error which we should because the property is marked as
required.
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3a.
Basically, we want to allow people to select more than 1 group as well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: group` to `type: groups` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: groups`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Groups>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations and switch it to use the `<GroupChooser>` component
instead of the `<ComboBoxComponent>` component which previously only supported
selecting a single group.
Previously the problem check registry simply looked at the subclasses of ProblemCheck. This was causing some confusion in environments where eager loading is not enabled, as the registry would appear empty as a result of the classes never being referenced (and thus never loaded.)
This PR changes the approach to a more explicit one. I followed other implementations (bookmarkable and hashtag autocomplete.) As a bonus, this now has a neat plugin entry point as well.
When a topic fails to be created due to the user not having permission to add tags to the topic, the error message that you get is `There was an error tagging the topic` which is very generic and doesn't explain where/what the problem is. This commit adds a clearer error message for this scenario.
The `TopicCreator` class has a `skip_validations` option that can force-create a topic without performing permission checks or validation rules. However, at the moment it doesn't skip validations that are related to tags, so topics that are created by the system or by some scrip can still fail if they use tags. This commit makes the `TopicCreator` class skip all tags-related checks if the `skip_validations` is specified.
Internal topic: t/124280.

rather than making developers provide the plugin path

Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3aa3e.
Basically, we want to allow people to select more than 1 category as well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: category` to `type: categories` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: categories`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Categories>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations and switch it to use the `<CategorySelector>` component
instead of the `<CategoryChooser>` component which only supports selecting one category.
At the moment, all topic `?page=` views are served with exactly identical page titles. If you search for something which is mentioned many times in the same Discourse topic, this makes for some very hard-to-understand search results! All the result titles are exactly the same, with no indication of why there are multiple results showing.
This commit adds a `- Page #` suffix to the titles in this situation. This lines up with our existing strategy for topic-list pagination.
When crawlers visit a post-specific URL like `/t/-/{topic-id}/{post-number}`, we use the canonical to direct them to the appropriate crawler-optimised paginated view (e.g. `?page=3`).
However, analysis of google results shows that the post-specific URLs are still being included in the index. Google doesn't tell us exactly why this is happening. However, as a general rule, 'A large portion of the duplicate page's content should be present on the canonical version'.
In our previous implementation, this wasn't 100% true all the time. That's because a request for a post-specific URL would include posts 'surrounding' that post, and won't exactly conform to the page boundaries which are used in the canonical version of the page. Essentially: in some cases, the content of the post-specific pages would include many posts which were not present on the canonical paginated version.
This commit aims to resolve that problem by simplifying the implementation. Instead of rendering posts surrounding the target post_number, we will only render the target post, and include a link to 'show post in topic'. With this new implementation, 100% of the post-specific page content will be present on the canonical paginated version, which will hopefully mean google reduces their indexing of the non-canonical post-specific pages.
To generate letter avatars, we’re currently using the ImageMagick suite
and we’re using the Helvetica font family. However, that font isn’t
shipped anymore in the latest stable version of Debian (Bookworm).
Instead it seems to have been replaced by the Nimbus font. The rendering
is extremely similar (not to say it’s the same thing) so it shouldn’t be
noticeable.
That change is necessary for us to upgrade our docker images to Debian
Bookworm.
This is so the CI output on GitHub actions isn't showing
tons and tons of unnecessary log data every time you want
to see the important thing, which is the actual test failure.
We were previously using the `EMBER_ENV=production` environment variable, which appears to produce the same output. But, some parts of ember-cli don't seem to support it, which leads to a confusing 'Environment: development' being printed on the console.
This commit adds `-prod` by default, which is the more common way to invoke ember-cli for production builds.
Why this change?
While working on the tag selector for the theme object editor, I
realised that there is an extremely high possibility that users might want to select
more than one tag. By supporting the ability to select more than one
tag, it also means that we get support for a single tag for free as
well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: tag` to `type: tags` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: tags`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Tags>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations
Why this change?
Fortunately or unfortunately in Discourse core, we mainly use `Tag#name`
to look up tags and not its id. This assumption is built into the
frontend as well so we need to use the tag's name instead of the id
here.
Followup 3094f32ff5,
this fixes an issue with the logic in this commit where
we were returning false if any of the conditionals here
were false, regardless of the type of `obj`, where we should
have only done this if `obj` was a `PostAction`, which lead
us to return false in cases where we were checking if the
user could edit their own post as anon.
When categories are loaded by the frontend, the parent category is
looked up by ID and the `parentCategory` is set with the result. If the
categories returned are not in order, the parent category may miss.
Why this change?
This ENV allows the brotli compression quality to be configurable such
that one can opt for a higher/lower level of compression based on their
preferences.
This commit changes the API for registering the plugin config
page nav configuration from a server-side to a JS one;
there is no need for it to be server-side.
It also makes some changes to allow for 2 different ways of displaying
navigation for plugin pages, depending on complexity:
* TOP - This is the best mode for simple plugins without a lot of different
custom configuration pages, and it reuses the grey horizontal nav bar
already used for admins.
* SIDEBAR - This is better for more complex plugins; likely this won't
be used in the near future, but it's readily available if needed
There is a new AdminPluginConfigNavManager service too to manage which
plugin the admin is actively viewing, otherwise we would have trouble
hiding the main plugin nav for admins when viewing a single plugin.
For some identity providers, 10 minutes isn't much time for a user to complete authentication/registration on the identity provider. Increasing the default to 30 minutes should help in those situations. The nonce is still tied to a single browser session, so there is no material impact on security.
This commit makes it so the site settings filter controls and
the list of settings input editors themselves can be used elsewhere
in the admin UI outside of /admin/site_settings
This allows us to provide more targeted groups of settings in different
UI areas where it makes sense to provide them, such as on plugin pages.
You could open a single page for a plugin where you can see information
about that plugin, change settings, and configure it with custom UIs
in the one place.
In future we will do this in "config areas" for other parts of the
admin UI.
This commit moves the generation of category background CSS from the
server side to the client side. This simplifies the server side code
because it does not need to check which categories are visible to the
current user.
Since we are introducing new ways to search in Discourse, like the AI
semantic search using embeddings, posts can be part of a search result
list without having any search data.
Since the code path already handles this, we only need to add a safety
check when accessing the post_search_data.
In AdminDashboardData we have a bunch of problem checks implemented as methods on that class. This PR absolves it of the responsibility by promoting each of those checks to a first class ProblemCheck. This way each of them can have their own priority and arbitrary functionality can be isolated in its own class.
Think "extract class" refactoring over and over. Since they were all moved we can also get rid of the @@problem_syms class variable which was basically the old version of the registry now replaced by ProblemCheck.realtime.
In addition AdminDashboardData::Problem value object has been entirely replaced with the new ProblemCheck::Problem (with compatible API).
Lastly, I added some RSpec matchers to simplify testing of problem checks and provide helpful error messages when assertions fail.
Why this change?
Previously, we identified that ActiveRecord's PostgreSQL adapter
executes 3 db queries each time a new connection is created. The 3 db
queries was identified when we looked at the `pg_stats_statement` table
on one of our multisite production cluster. At that time, the hypothesis
is that because we were agressively reaping and creating connections,
the db queries executed each time a connection is created is wasting
resources on our database servers. However, we didn't see any the needle
move much on our servers after deploying the patch so we have decided to
drop this patch as it makes it harder for us to upgrade ActiveRecord in
the future.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.
Part of /t/122841 internally
Previously, if the sso= payload was invalid Base64, but signed correctly, there would be no useful log or error. This commit improves things by:
- moving the base64 check before the signature checking so that it's properly surfaced
- split the ParseError exception into PayloadParseError and SignatureError
- add user-facing errors for both of those
- add/improve spec for both
There are a couple of reasons for this.
The first one is practical, and related to eager loading. Since /lib is not eager loaded, when the application boots, ProblemCheck["identifier"] will be nil because the child classes aren't loaded.
The second one is more conceptual. There turns out to be a lot of inter-dependencies between the part of the problem check system that live in /app and the parts that live in /lib, which probably suggests it should all go in /app.
Why this change?
On the `/admin/customize/themes/<:id>` route, we allow admins to edit
all settings via a settings editor. Prior to this change, trying to edit
and save a typed objects theme settings will result in an error on the
server.
Why this change?
On a slow network, using the `AceEditor` component will result in a blob
of text being shown first before being swapped out with the `ace.js`
editor after it has completed loading.
There is also a problem when setting the theme for the editor which
would result in a "flash" as reported in
https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/3286. To avoid this, we need to
load the theme js file before displaying the editor.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a loading spinner and set the `div.ace` with a `.hidden` class.
2. Once all the relevant scripts and initialization is done, we will
then remove the loading spinner and remove `div.ace`.
This commit fixes two issues:
1. The wrong exception was being printed as the 'cause' in turbo_rspec output. This was happening because RSpec [expects exceptions to be subclasses of `Exception`](d6e320dc11/lib/rspec/core/formatters/exception_presenter.rb (L102)). This commit resolves the issue by replacing the `FakeException` `Struct` with a subclass of `Exception`.
2. The `full_cause_backtrace` option we set in `rails_helper.rb` does not carry through to the RSpec formatters running in the turbo_rspec reporter process. To fix that, this commit duplicates the necessary config in `lib/turbo_tests.rb`.
Example before - note that the cause is a duplicate of the original exception, and only has three lines of backtrace:
```

```
Why this change?
When creating a new theme setting that does not have a corresponding row
in the `theme_settings` table, we end up writing to the database twice
because `ActiveRecord::Base#save!` is called once before the `value`
or `json_value` column is updated again with another database query with
another call to `ActiveRecord::Base#save!`.
What does this change do?
Adds the column to be updated to argument for the `ActiveRecord::Base#create!`
method call so that we only have one write query to the database.
Having minitest as a direct dependency causes ruby-lsp to use it as our test runner (per https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp/blob/d1da8858a1/lib/ruby_lsp/requests/support/dependency_detector.rb#L40-L55). This makes VSCode's test explorer incorrectly display Minitest 'run' buttons above all our tests.
We were only using it in `emoji.rake`... and that wasn't even working with the latest version of Minitest. This commit refactors `emoji.rake` to work without minitest, and removes the dependency.
Sometimes we add scripts outside of Rails. This commit provides a way to generate a nonce placeholder even if you don't have access to an ApplicationController instance.
Forcing a thread will work even in channel which don't have `threading_enabled` or in direct message channels.
For now this feature is only available through the `ChatSDK`:
```ruby
ChatSDK::Message.create(in_reply_to_id: 1, guardian: guardian, raw: "foo bar baz", channel_id: 2, force_thread: true)
```
Why this change?
The `/admin/customize/themes/:id/schema/name` route is a work in
progress but we want to be able to start navigating to it from the
`/admin/customize/themes/:id` route.
What does this change do?
1. Move `adminCustomizeThemes.schema` to a child route of
`adminCustomizeThemes.show`. This is because we need the model
from the parent route and if it isn't a child route we end up
having to load the theme model again from the server.
1. Add the `objects_schema` attribute to `ThemeSettingsSerializer`
1. Refactor `SiteSettingComponent` to be able to render a button
so that we don't have to hardcode the button rendering into the
`SiteSettings::String` component
Why this change?
Prior this change, we were using `URI.regexp` which was too strict as it
doesn't allow a URL path.
What does this change do?
Just parse the string using `URI.parse` and if it doesn't raise an error
we consider the string to be a valid URL
When a post is created by an incoming email, we show
an envelope icon on it which then opens a modal with the
raw email contents. Previously this was staff (admin+mod)
only, but now this commit adds the `view_raw_email_allowed_groups`
site setting, so any group can be added to give users permission
to see this.
Currently, the trust level method is calculating trust level based on maximum value from:
- locked trust level
- group automatic trust level
- previously granted trust level by admin
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/trust_level.rb#L33
Let's say the user belongs to groups with automatic trust level 1 and in the meantime meets all criteria to get trust level 2.
Each time, a user is removed from a group with automatic trust_level 1, they will be downgraded to trust_level 1 and promoted to trust_level 2
120a2f70a9/lib/promotion.rb (L142)
This will cause duplicated promotion messages.
Therefore, we have to check if the user meets the criteria, before downgrading.
## What?
Depending on the email software used, when you reply to an email that has some attachments, they will be sent along, since they're part of the embedded (replied to) email.
When Discourse processes the reply as an incoming email, it will automatically add all the (valid) attachments at the end of the post. Including those that were sent as part of the "embedded reply".
This generates posts in Discourse with duplicate attachments 🙁
## How?
When processing attachments of an incoming email, before we add it to the bottom of the post, we check it against all the previous uploads in the same topic. If there already is an `Upload` record, it means that it's a duplicate and it is _therefore_ skipped.
All the inline attachments are left untouched since they're more likely new attachments added by the sender.
Before this change, if the "Plugins backend" task on GitHub CI
failed, we would get a huge amount of extra output at the end
just to show the command that rake ran which failed (the bin/turbo_rspec
command). This is useless and just makes it hard to see the failing
specs. If you need the full command, it's already output at the
top of the "Plugins backend" task in the GitHub CI.
When we send a bookmark reminder, there is an option to delete
the underlying bookmark. The Notification record stays around.
However, if you want to filter your notifications user menu
to only bookmark-based notifications, we were not showing unread
bookmark notifications for deleted bookmarks.
This commit fixes the issue _going forward_ by adding the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type to the Notification data,
so we can look up the underlying Post/Topic/Chat::Message
for a deleted bookmark and check user access in this way. Then,
it doesn't matter if the bookmark was deleted.
Why this change?
This is a follow up to 408d2f8e69. When
`ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapaters::PostgreSQLAdatper#reload_type_map`
is called, we need to clear the type map cache otherwise migrations
adding an array column will end up throwing errors.
Why this change?
This patch has been added to address the problems identified in https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/35311. For every,
new connection created using the PostgreSQL adapter, 3 queries are executed to fetch type map information from the `pg_type`
system catalog, adding about 1ms overhead to every connection creation.
On multisite clusters where connections are reaped more aggressively, the 3 queries executed
accounts for a significant portion of CPU usage on the PostgreSQL cluster. This patch works around the problem by
caching the type map in a class level attribute to reuse across connections.
Prior to this fix even when the user was not part of a group allowing sending pm we would show the prompt: "You've replied to ... X times, did you know you could send them a personal message instead?"
Why this change?
Before this change, the error messages returned when validating theme
settings of typed objects was an array of array instead of just an
array.
Why this change?
Previously in cac60a2c6b, I added support
for `type: "category"` for a property in the theme objects schema. This
commit extend the work previously to add support for types `topic`,
`post`, `group`, `upload` and `tag`.
Why this change?
```
some_setting:
default: 0
type: string
```
A theme setting like the above will cause an error to be thrown on the
server when importing the theme because the default would be parsed as
an integer which caused an error to be thrown when we are validating the
value of the setting.
What does this change do?
Convert the value to a string when working with string typed theme
settings.
Why this change?
This change adds validation for the default value for `type: objects` theme
settings when a setting theme field is uploaded. This helps the theme
author to ensure that the objects which they specifc in the default
value adhere to the schema which they have declared.
When an error is encountered in one of the objects, the error
message will look something like:
`"The property at JSON Pointer '/0/title' must be at least 5 characters
long."`
We use a JSON Pointer to reference the property in the object which is
something most json-schema validator uses as well.
What does this change do?
1. This commit once again changes the shape of hash returned by
`ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate`. Instead of using the
property name as the key previously, we have decided to avoid
multiple levels of nesting and instead use a JSON Pointer as the key
which helps to simplify the implementation.
2 Introduces `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate_objects` which
returns an array of validation error messages for all the objects
passed to the method.
Before this commit, we had a yarn package set up in the root directory and also in `app/assets/javascripts`. That meant two `yarn install` calls and two `node_modules` directories. This commit merges them both into the root location, and updates references to node_modules.
A previous attempt can be found at https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21172. This commit re-uses that script to merge the `yarn.lock` files.

Users can hide their public profile and presence information by checking
“Hide my public profile and presence features” on the
`u/{username}/preferences/interface` page. In that case, we also don't
want to return user status from the server.
This work has been started in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23946.
The current PR fixes all the remaining places in Core.
Note that the actual fix is quite simple – a5802f484d.
But we had a fair amount of duplication in the code responsible for
the user status serialization, so I had to dry that up first. The refactoring
as well as adding some additional tests is the main part of this PR.
This PR adds a new scheduled problem check that simply tries to connect to Twitter OAuth endpoint to check that it's working. It is using the default retry strategy of 2 retries 30 seconds apart.
Why this change?
This regressed in 6e9fbb5bab because we
had a `request.xhr?` check before we decide to block requests. However,
there could not none-xhr requests which we need to block as well at the
end of each system test when `@@block_requests` is true.
This also reverts commit 6437f27f90.
Now forums can enroll their sites to be showcased in the Discourse [Discover](https://discourse.org/discover) directory. Once they enable the site setting `include_in_discourse_discover` to enroll their forum the `CallDiscourseHub` job will ping the `api.discourse.org/api/discover/enroll` endpoint. Then the Discourse Hub will fetch the basic details from the forum and add it to the review queue. If the site is approved then the forum details will be displayed in the `/discover` page.
Also, remove experimental setting and simply use top_menu for feature detection
This means that when people eventually enable the hot top menu, there will
be topics in it

Why this change?
On CI, we have been seeing flaky system tests because ActiveRecord is
unable to checkout a connection. This patch is meant to help us debug
which thread is not returning the connection to the queue.
Example of timeout issue: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/actions/runs/8012541636/job/21888013082
Previously, problem checks were all added as either class methods or blocks in AdminDashboardData. Another set of class methods were used to add and run problem checks.
As of this PR, problem checks are promoted to first-class citizens. Each problem check receives their own class. This class of course contains the implementation for running the check, but also configuration items like retry strategies (for scheduled checks.)
In addition, the parent class ProblemCheck also serves as a registry for checks. For example we can get a list of all existing check classes through ProblemCheck.checks, or just the ones running on a schedule through ProblemCheck.scheduled.
After this refactor, the task of adding a new check is significantly simplified. You add a class that inherits ProblemCheck, you implement it, add a test, and you're good to go.
Add categories to the serialized search results together with the topics
when lazy load categories is enabled. This is necessary in order for the
results to be rendered correctly and display the category information.
Why this change?
The current shape of errors returns the error messages after it has been
translated but there are cases where we want to customize the error
messages and the current way return only translated error messages is
making customization of error messages difficult. If we
wish to have the error messages in complete sentences like
"`some_property` property must be present in #link 1", this is not
possible at the moment with the current shape of the errors we return.
What does this change do?
This change introduces the `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator::ThemeSettingsObjectErrors`
and `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator::ThemeSettingsObjectError` classes to
hold the relevant error key and i18n translation options.
Why this change?
This change supports a property of `type: category` in the schema that
is declared for a theme setting object. Example:
```
sections:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
category_property:
type: category
```
The value of a property declared as `type: category` will have to be a
valid id of a row in the `categories` table.
What does this change do?
Adds a property value validation step for `type: category`. Care has
been taken to ensure that we do not spam the database with a ton of
requests if there are alot of category typed properties. This is done by
walking through the entire object and collecting all the values for
properties typed category. After which, a single database query is
executed to validate which values are valid.
Why this change?
The logic for validating a theme setting's value and default value was
not consistent as each part of the code would implement its own logic.
This is not ideal as the default value may be validated differently than
when we are setting a new value. Therefore, this commit seeks to
refactor all the validation logic for a theme setting's value into a
single service class.
What does this change do?
Introduce the `ThemeSettingsValidator` service class which holds all the
necessary helper methods required to validate a theme setting's value
This commit moves some code out of UploadController#show_secure
so it can be reused in other controllers if a secure upload
needs to have permission checks run.
Why this change?
This commit updates `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator` to validate a
property's value against the validations listed in the schema.
For string types, `min_length`, `max_length` and `url` are supported.
For integer and float types, `min` and `max` are supported.
Why this change?
This change adds property value validation to `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator`
for the following types: "string", "integer", "float", "boolean", "enum". Note
that this class is not being used anywhere yet and is still in
development.
This data is cached, so we don't want to include any site-specific-logic in there. Let's just keep the old URL-collecting behaviour, and let it be stripped out by `CSP::Builder` at runtime.
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
Followup to 978d52841a
It's complicated...we have multiple "anonymous" user concepts
in core, and even two classes called the exact same thing --
AnonymousUser.
The first case is Guardian::AnonymousUser, which is used for
people who are browsing the forum without being authenticated.
The second case is the model AnonymousUser, which is used when
a user is liking or posting anonymously via allow_anonymous_likes
or allow_anonymous_posting site settings.
We will untangle this naming nightmare later on...but for the
time being, only authenticated users who are pretending to be
anonymous should be able to like posts if allow_anonymous_likes
is on.
Why this change?
This is a first pass at adding an objects validator which main's job is
to validate an object against a defined schema which we will support. In
this pass, we are simply validating that properties that has been marked
as required are present in the object.
The `-ping` option significantly speeds up the ImageMagick `identify` command per our testing and the [documentation](https://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#ping):
> -ping
Efficiently determine these image characteristics: image number, the file name, the width and height of the image, whether the image is colormapped or not, the number of colors in the image, the number of bytes in the image, the format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.). Use +ping to ensure accurate image properties.
We already pass the `-ping` option in other places where the `identify` command is used, so it makes sense to use the option everywhere.

Fixes an issue where private topics that are quoted have an incorrectly formatted url when using a subfolder install.

This commit changes `max_image_megapixels` to be used
as is without multiplying by 2 to give extra leway.
We found in reality this was just causing confusion
for admins, especially with the already permissive
40MP default.
This reverts commit 767b49232e.
If anything else (e.g. GTM integration) introduces a nonce/hash, then this change stops the splash screen JS to fail and makes sites unusable.
Removes duplication from LimitedEdit to see who can edit
posts, and also removes the old trust level setting check
since it's no longer necessary.
Also make it so staff can always edit since can_edit_post?

Why this change?
This commit introduces an experimental `type: objects` theme setting
which will allow theme developers to store a collection of objects as
JSON in the database. Currently, the feature is still in development and
this commit is simply setting up the ground work for us to introduce the
feature in smaller pieces.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a `json_value` column as `jsonb` data type to the `theme_settings` table.
2. Adds a `experimental_objects_type_for_theme_settings` site setting to
determine whether `ThemeSetting` records of with the `objects` data
type can be created.
3. Updates `ThemeSettingsManager` to support read/write access from the
`ThemeSettings#json_value` column.
Followup fb087b7ff6
post_links_allowed_groups is an odd check tied to
unrestricted_link_posting? in PostGuardian, in that
it doesn't have an escape hatch for staff like most
of the rest of these group based settings.
It doesn't make sense to exclude admins or mods from
posting links, so just always allow them to avoid confusion.
Browsers will ignore unsafe-inline if nonces or hashes are included in the CSP. When unsafe-inline is enabled, nonces and hashes are not required, so we can skip them.
Our strong recommendation remains that unsafe-inline should not be used in production.
We've changed access settings to be group membership based rather than based on the TL value directly. We kept both conditions here while we updated any plugins and themes. It should now be safe to remove.
JS assets added by plugins via `register_asset` will be outside the `assets/javascripts` directory, and are therefore exempt from being transpiled. That means that there isn't really any need to run them through DiscourseJsProcessor. Instead, we can just concatenate them together, and avoid the need for all the sprockets-wrangling.
This commit also takes the opportunity to clean up a number of plugin-asset-related codepaths which are no longer required (e.g. globs, handlebars)
Why this change?
Since 1dba1aca27, we have been remapping
the `<->` proximity operator in a tsquery to `&`. However, there is
another variant of it which follows the `<N>` pattern. For example, the
following text "end-to-end" will eventually result in the following
tsquery `end-to-end:* <-> end:* <2> end:*` being generated by Postgres.
Before this fix, the tsquery is remapped to `end-to-end:* & end:* <2>
end:*` by us. This is requires the search data which we store to contain
`end` at exactly 2 position apart. Due to the way we limit the
number of duplicates in our search data, the search term may end up not
matching anything. In bd32912c5e, we made
it such that we do not allow any duplicates when indexing a topic's
title. Therefore, search for `end-to-end` against a topic title with
`end-to-end` will never match because our index will only contain one
`end` term.
What does this change do?
We will remap the `<N>` variant of the proximity operator.

Once this was parsed and converted to markdown (or directly to HTML
in some cases), this caused an issue in the composer and the post
UI, where the markdown parser didn't know how to deal with this,
making the HTML show directly instead of showing an image.
The easiest way to deal with this is to just strip \n from image
alt and title attrs in the HTMLToMarkdown class.
These routes were previously rendered using Rails, and had a fairly fragile 2fa implementation in vanilla-js. This commit refactors the routes to be handled in the Ember app, removes the custom vanilla-js bundles, and leans on our centralized 2fa implementation. It also introduces a set of system specs for the behavior.
Safari has a bug which means that scripts with the `defer` attribute are executed before stylesheets have finished loading. This is being tracked at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209261.
This commit works around the problem by introducing a no-op inline `<script>` to the end of our HTML document. This works because defer scripts are guaranteed to run after inline scripts, and inline scripts are guaranteed to run after any preceding stylesheets.
Technically we only need this for Safari. But given that the cost is so low, it makes sense to include it everywhere rather than incurring the complexity of gating it by user-agent.
In a handful of situations, we need to verify a user's 2fa credentials before `current_user` is assigned. For example: login, email_login and change-email confirmation. This commit adds an explicit `target_user:` parameter to the centralized 2fa system so that it can be used for those situations.
For safety and clarity, this new parameter only works for anon. If some user is logged in, and target_user is set to a different user, an exception will be raised.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
Previously, it was not possible to modify the sorting order of the `TopicQuery` result from a plugin. This feature adds support to specify custom sorting functionality in a plugin. We're using the `apply_modifier` method in the `DiscoursePluginRegistry` module to achieve it.

We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_for_user_api_key site setting to user_api_key_allowed_groups.
This isn't used by any of our plugins or themes, so very little fallout.
If configuring only moderators in a group based access setting, the mapping to the old setting wouldn't work correctly, because the case was unaccounted for.
This PR accounts for moderators group when doing the mapping.

- Decrease gravity, we come in too hot prioritizing too many new topics
- Remove all muted topics / categories and tags from the hot list
- Punish topics with zero likes in algorithm
This introduces a new experimental hot sort ordering.
It attempts to float top conversations by first prioritizing a topics with lots of recent activity (likes and users responding)
The schedule that updates hot topics is disabled unless the hidden site setting: `experimental_hot_topics` is enabled.
You can control "decay" with `hot_topic_gravity` and `recency` with `hot_topics_recent_days`
Data is stored in the new `topic_hot_scores` table and you can check it out on the `/hot` route once
enabled.

Previously only Sidekiq was allowed to generate more than one optimized image at the same time per machine. This adds an easy mechanism to allow the same in rake tasks and other tools.
Why this change?
While the constant does not change very often, we should still avoid
duplicating the value of a constant used on the server side in the
client side to avoid the values going out of sync.
Why this change?
Currently, is it hard to iteratively write a theme settings migrations
because our theme migrations system does not rollback. Therefore, we
want to allow theme developers to be able to write QUnit tests for their
theme migrations files enabling them to iteratively write their theme
migrations.
What does this change do?
1. Update `Theme#baked_js_tests_with_digest` to include all `ThemeField`
records of `ThemeField#target` equal to `migrations`. Note that we do
not include the `settings` and `themePrefix` variables for migration files.
2. Don't minify JavaScript test files becasue it makes debugging in
development hard.
This will make it easier to analyze rate limiting in reverse-proxy logs. To make this possible without a database lookup, we add the username to the encrypted `_t` cookie data.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
When navigating straight to a topic the category was not displayed at
all because the categories were not loaded. Similarly, the categories
for suggested topics were not loaded either.
This commit adds a list of categories to topic view model class and
serializer.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_send_email_messages site setting to send_email_messages_allowed_groups.
Some plugins have names (e.g. discourse-x-yz) that
are totally different from what they are actually called,
and that causes issues when showing them in a sorted way
in the admin plugin list.
Now, we should use the setting category name from client.en.yml
if it exists, otherwise fall back to the name, for sorting.
This is what we do on the client to determine what text to
show for the plugin name as well.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_create_tag site setting to create_tag_allowed_groups.
This PR maintains backwards compatibility until we can update plugins and themes using this.
This was used by chat's HTML documentation experiment. That documentation experiment isn't being actively used/updated, but may be revisited in future. Therefore, this commit updates the jsdoc config to remove the custom theme, but keeps it functional (with the default jsdoc theme).
This fixes an issue where any string for an enum site setting
(such as TrustLevelSetting) would be converted to an integer
if the default value for the enum was an integer. This is an
issue because things like "admin" and "staff" would get silently
converted to 0 which is "valid" because it's TrustLevel[0],
but it's unexpected behaviour. It's best to just let the site
setting validator catch this broken value.
Why this change?
The `can survive cache miss` test in `spec/requests/stylesheets_controller_spec.rb`
was failing because the file was not found on disk for the cache to be
regenerated. This is because a test in
`spec/lib/stylesheet/manager_spec.rb` was removing the entire
`tmp/stylesheet-cache` directory which is incorrect because the folder
in the test environment further segretates the stylesheet caches based
on the process of the test.
What does this change do?
1. Introduce `Stylesheet::Manager.rm_cache_folder` method for the test
environment to properly clean up the cache folder.
2. Make `Stylesheet::Manager::CACHE_PATH` a private constant since the
cache path should be obtained from the `Stylesheet::Manager.cache_fullpath` method.
Why this change?
We have been running into flaky tests which seems to be related to
AR transaction problems. However, we are not able to reproduce this
locally and do not have sufficient information on our builds now to
debug the problem.
What does this change do?
Noe the following changes only applies when `ENV["GITHUB_ACTIONS"]` is
present.
This change introduces an RSpec around hook when `capture_log: true` has
been set for a test. The responsibility of the hook is to capture the
ActiveRecord debug logs and print them out.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki site setting to self_wiki_allowed_groups.
Nothing of note here. This is used in exactly one place, and there's no fallout.
When setting an old TL based site setting in the console e.g.:
SiteSetting.min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore = TrustLevel[3]
We will silently convert this to the corresponding Group::AUTO_GROUP. And vice-versa, when we read the value on the old setting, we will automatically get the lowest trust level corresponding to the lowest auto group for the new setting in the database.
Why this change?
Currently we only rerun failing tests to check if they are flaky tests
when there are 10 or less failing tests. When there are more than 10
failing tests in the first run, we assume that the odds of those tests
being flaky are low and do not rerun the tests. However, there was a bug
where we do not clean up the potential flaky tests being logged when
there are too many test failures. This resulted in those test failures
being treated as flaky tests.
What does this change do?
Clean up the flaky tests report when we do not rerun the tests.
A bug that allowed TL1 to convert other's posts to wiki.
The issue was introduced in this PR: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24999/files
The wiki can be created if a user is TL3 and it is their own post - default 3 for setting `SiteSetting.min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki`
In addition, a wiki can be created by staff and TL4 users for any post.
This changes the Plugins link in the admin sidebar to
be a section instead, which then shows all enabled plugin
admin routes (which are custom routes some plugins e.g.
chat define).
This is done via adding some special preloaded data for
all controllers based on AdminController, and also specifically
on Admin::PluginsController, to have the routes loaded without
additional requests on page load.
We just use a cog for all the route icons for now...we don't
have anything better.

Nothing much of note. This is used in one place and there's no fallout.
Using min_trust_to_create_topic and create_topic_allowed_groups together was part of #24740
Now, when plugins specs are fixed, we can safely remove that part of logic.
This is v0 of admin sidebar navigation, which moves
all of the top-level admin nav from the top of the page
into a sidebar. This is hidden behind a enable_admin_sidebar_navigation
site setting, and is opt-in for now.
This sidebar is dynamically shown whenever the user enters an
admin route in the UI, and is hidden and replaced with either
the:
* Main forum sidebar
* Chat sidebar
Depending on where they navigate to. For now, custom sections
are not supported in the admin sidebar.
This commit removes the experimental admin sidebar generation rake
task but keeps the experimental sidebar UI for now for further
testing; it just uses the real nav as the default now.
Before, when needed to get stats in a plugin, we called Core classes directly.
Introducing plugin API will decouple plugins from Core and give as more freedom

What motivated this change?
Our builds on Github actions have been extremely flaky mostly due to system tests. This has led to a drop in confidence
in our test suite where our developers tend to assume that a failed job is due to a flaky system test. As a result, we
have had occurrences where changes that resulted in legitimate test failures are merged into the `main` branch because developers
assumed it was a flaky test.
What does this change do?
This change seeks to reduce the flakiness of our builds on Github Actions by automatically re-running RSpec tests once when
they fail. If a failed test passes subsequently in the re-run, we mark the test as flaky by logging it into a file on disk
which is then uploaded as an artifact of the Github workflow run. We understand that automatically re-runs will lead to
lower accuracy of our tests but we accept this as an acceptable trade-off since a fragile build has a much greater impact
on our developers' time. Internally, the Discourse development team will be running a service to fetch the flaky tests
which have been logged for internal monitoring.
How is the change implemented?
1. A `--retry-and-log-flaky-tests` CLI flag is added to the `bin/turbo_rspec` CLI which will then initialize `TurboTests::Runner`
with the `retry_and_log_flaky_tests` kwarg set to `true`.
2. When the `retry_and_log_flaky_tests` kwarg is set to `true` for `TurboTests::Runner`, we will register an additional
formatter `Flaky::FailuresLoggerFormatter` to the `TurboTests::Reporter` in the `TurboTests::Runner#run` method.
The `Flaky::FailuresLoggerFormatter` has a simple job of logging all failed examples to a file on disk when running all the
tests. The details of the failed example which are logged can be found in `TurboTests::Flaky::FailedExample.to_h`.
3. Once all the tests have been run once, we check the result for any failed examples and if there are, we read the file on
disk to fetch the `location_rerun_location` of the failed examples which is then used to run the tests in a new RSpec process.
In the rerun, we configure a `TurboTests::Flaky::FlakyDetectorFormatter` with RSpec which removes all failed examples from the log file on disk since those examples are not flaky tests. Note that if there are too many failed examples on the first run, we will deem the failures to likely not be due to flaky tests and not re-run the test failures. As of writing, the threshold of failed examples is set to 10. If there are more than 10 failed examples, we will not re-run the failures.
Ability to automatically generate migration when site setting name is changed.
Example usage: `rails generate site_setting_rename_migration site_description contact_email`
Applies the embed_unlisted site setting consistently across topic embeds, including those created via the WP Discourse plugin. Relatedly, adds a embed exception to can_create_unlisted_topic? check. Users creating embedded topics are not always staff.

Introduces the concept of image thumbnails in chat, prior to this we uploaded and used full size chat images within channels and direct messages.
The following changes are covered:
- Post processing of image uploads to create the thumbnail within Chat::MessageProcessor
- Extract responsive image ratios into CookedProcessorMixin (used for creating upload variations)
- Add thumbnail to upload serializer from plugin.rb
- Convert chat upload template to glimmer component using .gjs format
- Use thumbnail image within chat upload component (stores full size img in orig-src data attribute)
- Old uploads which don't have thumbnails will fallback to full size images in channels/DMs
- Update Magnific lightbox to use full size image when clicked
- Update Glimmer lightbox to use full size image (enables zooming for chat images)
I took the wrong approach here, need to rethink.

c.f. de983796e1
There will soon be additional login_required checks
for Guardian, and the intent of many checks by automated
systems is better fulfilled by using BasicUser, which
simulates a logged in TL0 forum user, rather than an
anon user.
In some cases the use of anon still makes sense (e.g.
anonymous_cache), and in that case the more explicit
`Guardian.anon_user` is used
It's quite confusing for blank? to be overridden
on AnonymousUser and BasicUser to represent
whether the fake user is authenticated or not;
we can achieve the same thing more clearly with
a wrapper GuardianUser class around these
user classes. Also fixes an issue where
`def user` would be returning nil.
Through internal discussion, it has become clear that
we need a conceptual Guardian user that bridges the
gap between anon users and a logged in forum user with
an absolute baseline level of access to public topics,
which can be used in cases where:
1. Automated systems are running which shouldn't see any
private data
1. A baseline level of user access is needed
In this case we are fixing the latter; when oneboxing a local
topic, and we are linking to a topic in another category from
the current one, we need to operate off a baseline level of
access, since not all users have access to the same categories,
and we don't want e.g. editing a post with an internal link to
expose sensitive internal information.
We add `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` to all asset requests which are requested via a configured CDN. This is particularly important now that we're using browser-native `import()` to load the highlightjs bundle. Unfortunately, user-configurable 'cors_origins' site setting was overriding the wldcard value on CDN assets and causing CORS errors.
This commit updates the logic to give the `*` value precedence, and adds a spec for the situation. It also invalidates the cache of hljs assets (because CDNs will have cached the bad Access-Control-Allow-Origin header).
The rack-cors middleware is also slightly tweaked so that it is always inserted. This makes things easier to test and more consistent.

* Automatically remove the prefix `Discourse ` from all the plugin titles to avoid repetition
* Remove the :discourse_dev: icon from the author. Consider a "By Discourse" with no labels as official
* We add a `label` metadata to plugin.rb
* Only plugins made by us in `discourse` and `discourse-org` GitHub organizations will show these in the list
* Make the plugin author font size a little smaller
* Make the commit sha look like a link so it's more obvious it goes to the code
Also I added some validation and truncation for plugin metadata
parsing since currently you can put absolutely anything in there
and it will show on the plugin list.
In development, I sometimes get `nil` `location.absolute_path` values. It looks like this is sometimes expected (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10561) so we should fallback to `.path` and add a nil check.
This change refactors the check `user.groups.any?` and instead uses
`user.staged?` to check if the user is staged or not.
Also fixes several tests to ensure the users have their auto trust level
groups created.

This value is included when generating static asset URLs. Updating the value will allow site operators to invalidate all asset urls to recover from configuration issues which may have been cached by CDNs/browsers.
This commit introduces the scaffolding for us to easily switch between Ember 3.28 and Ember 5 on the `main` branch of Discourse. Unfortunately, there is no built-in system to apply this kind of flagging within yarn / ember-cli. There are projects like `ember-try` which are designed for running against multiple version of a dependency, but they do not allow us to 'lock' dependency/sub-dependency versions, and are therefore unsuitable for our use in production.
Instead, we will be maintaining two root `package.json` files, and two `yarn.lock` files. For ember-3, they remain as-is. For ember5, we use a yarn 'resolution' to override the version for ember-source across the entire yarn workspace.
To allow for easy switching with minimal diff against the repository, `package.json` and `yarn.lock` are symlinks which point to `package-ember3.json` and `yarn-ember3.lock` by default. To switch to Ember 5, we can run `script/switch ember version 5` to update the symlinks to point to `package-ember5.json` and `package-ember3.json` respectively. In production, and when using `bin/ember-cli` for development, the ember version can also be upgraded using the `EMBER_VERSION=5` environment variable.
When making changes to dependencies, these should be made against the default `ember3` versions, and then `script/regen_ember_5_lockfile` should be used to regenerate `yarn-ember5.lock` accordingly. A new 'Ember Version Lockfiles' GitHub workflow will automate this process on Dependabot PRs.
When running a local environment against Ember 5, the two symlink changes will show up as git diffs. To avoid us accidentally committing/pushing that change, another GitHub workflow is introduced which checks the default Ember version and raises an error if it is greater than v3.
Supporting two ember versions simultaneously obviously carries significant overhead, so our aim will be to get themes/plugins updated as quickly as possible, and then drop this flag.
Followup to e37fb3042d,
in some cases we cannot get git information for the
plugin folder (e.g. permission issues), so we need
to only try and get information about it if
commit_hash is present.

Internal ref: /t/115696
Why this change?
This regressed in dec68d780c where the
commit assumes that plugin gems are always installed when the
`plugin:install_all_gems` Rake task is ran as it would run the our Rails
initializers which activates plugins and install the gems. However, this
assumption only holds true when the `LOAD_PLUGINS` is present and set to
`1`.
What does this change do?
This commit changes the `plugin:install_all_gems` to load the Rails
environment with `LOAD_PLUGINS` set to `1` such that the plugin gems
will be installed as part of our initialization process for the app.
The commit also removes the `plugin:install_gems` Rake task which is
currently a noop and does not seem to be used anywhere..
Why this change?
Similar to d0117ff6e3, `plugins:update_all` spends most of its time waiting
on the network. On my local machine, this takes up to 2 mins when I have
all the official plugins installed. On a 32 cores machine, the total
time is cut down to 4 seconds.
What does this change do?
1. Move the logic in the `plugin:update` Rake task into a method.
2. Updates the `plugin:update` and `plugin:update_all` to rely on the
new method.
3. Wraps the method call to update a plugin in `plugin:update_all` in a
`Concurrent::Promise`
This change also adds the `--quiet` option to the `git pull` option
since the `git pull` output is just noise for 99% of the time.

Some plugins like discourse-ai and discourse-saml do not
nicely change from kebab-case to Title Case (e.g. Ai, Saml),

Better to use the plugin setting category if it exists,
since that is written by a human and is translated.

* add missing translation
* Add keyword entry
* Add migration
Why this change?
`plugin:install_all_official` is quite slow at the moment taking roughly
1 minute and 51 seconds on my machine. Since most of the time is spent
waiting on the network, we can actually speed up the Rake task
significantly by executing the cloning concurrently. With a 8 cores
machine, cloning all plugins will only take 15 seconds.
What does this change do?
This change wraps the `git clone` operation in the
`plugin:install_all_official` Rake task in a `Concurrent::Promise` which
basically runs the `git clone` operation in a Thread. The `--quiet`
option has also been added to `git clone` since running stuff
concurrently messes up the output. That could be fixed but it has been
determined to be not worth it since the output from `git clone` is
meaningless to us.
Why this change?
There are instances where we would like to customize what the
`docker:test:setup` Rake task does.
What does this change do?
Adds a bunch of env variables that could be set to customize what the
`docker:test:setup` Rake test does.
We were throwing ArgumentError in UrlHelper.normalised_encode,
but it was incorrect -- we were passing ArgumentError.new
2 arguments which is not supported. Fix this and have a hint
of which URL is causing the issue for debugging.
Why this change?
We support a `USE_TURBO` environment variable which tells the
`docker:test` rake task to run rspec tests in parallel. However, this
currently does not apply to system tests.
What does this change do?
This commit runs system specs for both core and plugins using
`./bin/turbo_rspec` when the `USE_TURBO` environment is present. Note
that when running system specs, we will only spawn X number of test
processes where X is half the number of available CPU cores. This is
done because we have to leave CPU resources for the chrome processes
that will be created.
This change converts the `approve_unless_trust_level` site setting to
`approve_unless_allowed_groups`.
See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/283408
- Adds the new site setting
- Adds a deprecation warning
- Updates core to use the new settings.
- Adds a migration to fill in the new setting of the old setting was
changed
- Adds an entry to the site_setting.keywords section
- Updates many tests to account for the new change
After a couple of months we will remove the `approve_unless_trust_level`
setting entirely.

This commit adds a new `search_default_sort_order` site setting,
set to "relevance" by default, that controls the default sort order
for the full page /search route.
If the user changes the order in the dropdown on that page, we remember
their preference automatically, and it takes precedence over the site
setting as a default from then on. This way people who prefer e.g.
Latest Post as their default can make it so.
Why this change?
As the number of themes which the Discourse team supports officially
grows, we want to ensure that changes made to Discourse core do not
break the plugins. As such, we are adding a step to our Github actions
test job to run the QUnit tests for all official themes.
What does this change do?
This change adds a new job to our tests Github actions workflow to run the QUnit
tests for all official plugins. This is achieved with the following
changes:
1. Update `testem.js` to rely on the `THEME_TEST_PAGES` env variable to set the
`test_page` option when running theme QUnit tests with testem. The
`test_page` option [allows an array to be specified](https://github.com/testem/testem#multiple-test-pages) such that tests for
multiple pages can be run at the same time. We are relying on a ENV variable
because the `testem` CLI does not support passing a list of pages
to the `--test_page` option.
2. Support a `/testem-theme-qunit/:testem_id/theme-qunit` Rails route in the development environment. This
is done because testem prefixes the path with a unique ID to the configured `test_page` URL.
This is problematic for us because we proxy all testem requests to the
Rails server and testem's proxy configuration option does not allow us
to easily rewrite the URL to remove the prefix. Therefore, we configure a proxy in testem to prefix `theme-qunit` requests with
`/testem-theme-qunit` which can then be easily identified by the Rails server and routed accordingly.
3. Update `qunit:test` to support a `THEME_IDS` environment variable
which will allow it to run QUnit tests for multiple themes at the
same time.
4. Support `bin/rake themes:qunit[ids,"<theme_id>|<theme_id>"]` to run
the QUnit tests for multiple themes at the same time.
5. Adds a `themes:qunit_all_official` Rake task which runs the QUnit
tests for all the official themes.
Why this change?
By default the `db:create` Rake task in activerecord creates the
databases for both the development and test environment. This while
seemingly odd is by design from Rails. In order to avoid creating the
test database, Rails supports the `SKIP_TEST_DATABASE` environment
variable which we should respect when creating the multisite test
database.
When we started using NumberField for integer site settings
in e113eff663, we did not end up
passing down a min/max value for the integer to the field, which
meant that for some fields where negative numbers were allowed
we were not accepting that as valid input.
This commit passes down the min/max options from the server for
integer settings then in turn passes them down to NumberField.

What does this change do?
This change adds a step to our Github actions test job to run the system

themes that are officially supported by the Discourse team.
- Remove vendored copy
- Update Rails implementation to look for language definitions in node_modules
- Use webpack-based dynamic import for hljs core
- Use browser-native dynamic import for site-specific language bundle (and fallback to webpack-based dynamic import in tests)
- Simplify markdown implementation to allow all languages into the `lang-{blah}` className
- Now that all languages are passed through, resolve aliases at runtime to avoid the need for the pre-built `highlightjs-aliases` index
Previously, the app HTML served by the Ember-CLI proxy was generated based on a 'bootstrap json' payload generated by Rails. This inevitably leads to differences between the Rails HTML and the Ember-CLI HTML.
This commit overhauls our proxying strategy. Now, we totally ignore the ember-cli `index.html` file. Instead, we take the full HTML from Rails and surgically replace script URLs based on a `data-discourse-entrypoint` attribute. This should be faster (only one request to Rails), more robust, and less confusing for developers.

For consistency with other S3 settings, make the global setting
the same name as the site setting and use SiteSetting.Upload
too so it reads from the correct place.
This adds the ability to collect stats without exposing them
among other stats via API.
The most important thing I wanted to achieve is to provide
an API where stats are not exposed by default, and a developer
has to explicitly specify that they should be
exposed (`expose_via_api: true`). Implementing an opposite
solution would be simpler, but that's less safe in terms of
potential security issues.
When working on this, I had to refactor the current solution.
I would go even further with the refactoring, but the next steps
seem to be going too far in changing the solution we have,
and that would also take more time. Two things that can be
improved in the future:
1. Data structures for holding stats can be further improved
2. Core stats are hard-coded in the About template (it's hard
to fix it without correcting data structures first, see point 1):
63a0700d45/app/views/about/index.html.erb (L61-L101)
The most significant refactorings are:
1. Introducing the `Stat` model
2. Aligning the way the core and the plugin stats' are registered
There was a registry for preloaded site categories and a new one has
been introduced recently for categories serialized through a
CategoryList.
Having two registries created a lot of friction for developers and this
commit merges them into a single one, providing a unified API.
There is an edge case where the following occurs:
1. The user sets a bookmark reminder on a post/topic
2. The post/topic is changed to a PM before or after the reminder
fires, and the notification remains unread by the user
3. The user opens their bookmark reminder notification list
and they can still see the notification even though they cannot
access the topic anymore
There is a very low chance for information leaking here, since
the only thing that could be exposed is the topic title if it
changes to something sensitive.
This commit filters the bookmark unread notifications by using
the bookmarkable can_see? methods and also prevents sending
reminder notifications for bookmarks the user can no longer see.
Followup to 5fc1586abf
There are certain cases where the tos_url and privacy_policy_url
can end up with a "nil" value in the Discourse.urls_cache.
The cause of this is unclear, but it seems to behave differently
between doing this caching in the rails console and the running
server.
To avoid this we can just not store anything that looks like nil
in the cache; we can delete the cache keys entirely if we don't
need them anymore.
When quoting a chat message in a post, if that message contains a mention,
that mention should be ignored. But we've been detecting them and sending
notifications to users. This PR fixes the problem. Since this fix is for
the chat plugin, I had to introduce a new API for plugins:
# We strip posts before detecting mentions, oneboxes, attachments etc.
# We strip those elements that shouldn't be detected. For example,
# a mention inside a quote should be ignored, so we strip it off.
# Using this API plugins can register their own post strippers.
def register_post_stripper(&block)
end
Previously, we were parsing webpack JS chunk filenames from the HTML files which ember-cli generates. This worked ok for simple entrypoints, but falls apart once we start using async imports(), which are not included in the HTML.
This commit uses the stats plugin to generate an assets.json file, and updates Rails to parse it instead of the HTML. Caching on the Rails side is also improved to avoid reading from the filesystem multiple times per request in develoment.

This commit adds an `enable_s3_transfer_acceleration` site setting,
which is hidden to begin with. We are adding this because in certain
regions, using https://aws.amazon.com/s3/transfer-acceleration/ can
drastically speed up uploads, sometimes as much as 70% in certain
regions depending on the target bucket region. This is important for
us because we have direct S3 multipart uploads enabled everywhere
on our hosting.
To start, we only want this on the uploads bucket, not the backup one.
Also, this will accelerate both uploads **and** downloads, depending
on whether a presigned URL is used for downloading. This is the case
when secure uploads is enabled, not anywhere else at this time. To
enable the S3 acceleration on downloads more generally would be a
more in-depth change, since we currently store S3 Upload record URLs
like this:
```
url: "//test.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/6/123456.png"
```
For acceleration, `s3.dualstack` would need to be changed to `s3-accelerate.dualstack`
here.
Note that for this to have any effect, Transfer Acceleration must be enabled
on the S3 bucket used for uploads per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/transfer-acceleration-examples.html.
With Embroider, we can rely on async `import()` to do the splitting
for us.
This commit extracts from `pretty-text` all the parts that are
meant to be loaded async into a new `discourse-markdown-it` package
that is also a V2 addon (meaning that all files are presumed unused
until they are imported, aka "static").
Mostly I tried to keep the very discourse specific stuff (accessing
site settings and loading plugin features) inside discourse proper,
while the new package aims to have some resembalance of a general
purpose library, a MarkdownIt++ if you will. It is far from perfect
because of how all the "options" stuff work but I think it's a good
start for more refactorings (clearing up the interfaces) to happen
later.
With this, pretty-text and app/lib/text are mostly a kitchen sink
of loosely related text processing utilities.
After the refactor, a lot more code related to setting up the
engine are now loaded lazily, which should be a pretty nice win. I
also noticed that we are currently pulling in the `xss` library at
initial load to power the "sanitize" stuff, but I suspect with a
similar refactoring effort those usages can be removed too. (See
also #23790).
This PR does not attempt to fix the sanitize issue, but I think it
sets things up on the right trajectory for that to happen later.

When Discourse first introduced brotli support, reverse-proxy/CDN support for passing through the accept-encoding header to our NGINX server was very poor. Therefore, a separate `/brotli_assets/...` path was introduced to serve the brotli assets. This worked well, but introduces additional complexity and inconsistencies.
Nowadays, Brotli encoding is well supported, so we don't need the separate paths any more. Requests can be routed to the asset `.js` URLs, and NGINX will serve the brotli/gzip version of the asset automatically.
The motivation of this PR is to remove our dependence on Ember's 'named outlets', which are removed in Ember 4+.
At a high-level, the changes can be summarized as:
- The top-level `discovery` route is totally emptied of all logic. The HTML structure of the template is moved into the `<Discovery::Layout />` component for use by child routes.
- `AbstractTopicRoute` and `AbstractCategoryRoute` routes now both lean on the `DiscoverySortableController` and associated template. This controller is where most of the logic from the old top-level `discovery` controller has ended up.
- All navigation controllers/templates have been replaced with components. `navigation/categories`, `navigation/category` and `navigation/default` were very similar, and so they've all been combined into `<Navigation::Default>`. `navigation/filter` gets its own component.
- The `discovery/topics` controller/template have been moved into a new `<Discovery::Topics>` component.
Various other parts of the app have been tweaked to support these changes, but I've tried to keep that to a minimum.
Anything from `<TopicList>` down is untouched, which should hopefully mean that a large proportion of topic-list-customizing themes are unaffected.
For more information, see https://meta.discourse.org/t/282816
For deprecated site settings, we log out a warning when
the old setting is used. However when we convert all the client
settings to JSON, we are creating a lot of log noise like this:
> Deprecation notice: `SiteSetting.anonymous_posting_min_trust_level` has been deprecated.
We don't need to do this because we are just dumping the JSON.
We updated scheduled admin checks to run concurrently in their own jobs. The main reason for this was so that we can implement re-check functionality for especially flaky checks (e.g. group e-mail credentials check.)
This works in the following way:
1. The check declares its retry policy using class methods.
2. A block can be yielded to if there are problems, but before they are committed to Redis.
3. The job uses this block to either a) schedule a retry if there are any remaining or b) do nothing and let the check commit.
This commit introduces a new feature that allows theme developers to manage the transformation of theme settings over time. Similar to Rails migrations, the theme settings migration system enables developers to write and execute migrations for theme settings, ensuring a smooth transition when changes are required in the format or structure of setting values.
Example use cases for the theme settings migration system:
1. Renaming a theme setting.
2. Changing the data type of a theme setting (e.g., transforming a string setting containing comma-separated values into a proper list setting).
3. Altering the format of data stored in a theme setting.
All of these use cases and more are now possible while preserving theme setting values for sites that have already modified their theme settings.
Usage:
1. Create a top-level directory called `migrations` in your theme/component, and then within the `migrations` directory create another directory called `settings`.
2. Inside the `migrations/settings` directory, create a JavaScript file using the format `XXXX-some-name.js`, where `XXXX` is a unique 4-digit number, and `some-name` is a descriptor of your choice that describes the migration.
3. Within the JavaScript file, define and export (as the default) a function called `migrate`. This function will receive a `Map` object and must also return a `Map` object (it's acceptable to return the same `Map` object that the function received).
4. The `Map` object received by the `migrate` function will include settings that have been overridden or changed by site administrators. Settings that have never been changed from the default will not be included.
5. The keys and values contained in the `Map` object that the `migrate` function returns will replace all the currently changed settings of the theme.
6. Migrations are executed in numerical order based on the XXXX segment in the migration filenames. For instance, `0001-some-migration.js` will be executed before `0002-another-migration.js`.
Here's a complete example migration script that renames a setting from `setting_with_old_name` to `setting_with_new_name`:
```js
// File name: 0001-rename-setting.js
export default function migrate(settings) {
if (settings.has("setting_with_old_name")) {
settings.set("setting_with_new_name", settings.get("setting_with_old_name"));
}
return settings;
}
```

Followup to b53449eac9, we cannot
generate the links to plugin admin pages in this way because it
depends on which plugins are installed; we would need to somehow
do it at runtime. Leaving it out for now, for people who need to
find these admin routes the Ember Inspector extension for Chrome
can be used in the meantime.
NOTE: Most of this is experimental and will be removed at a later
time, which is why things like translations have not been added.
The new /admin-revamp UI uses a sidebar for admin nav. This initial
step adds a script to generate a map of all the current admin nav
into a format the sidebar to read. Then, people can experiment
with different changes to this structure.
The structure can then be edited from `/admin-revamp/config/sidebar-experiment`,
and it is saved to local storage so people can visually experiment with different ways
of showing the admin sidebar links.
Plugins can use a new modifier to change which site settings are hidden using the :hidden_site_settings modifier. For example:
```
register_modifier(:hidden_site_settings) do |hidden|
(hidden + [:invite_only, :login_required]).uniq
end
```
This commit fixes an issue where clicking the default
"Take Action" option on a flag for a post doesn't always
end up with the post hidden.
This is because the "take_action" score bonus doesn’t take into account
the final score required to hide the post.
Especially with the `hide_post_sensitivity` site setting set to `low`
sensitivity, there is a likelihood the score needed to hide the post
won’t be reached.
Now, the default "Take Action" button has been changed to "Hide Post"
to reflect what is actually happening and the description has been
improved, and if "Take Action" is clicked we _always_ hide the post
regardless of score and sensitivity settings. This way the action reflects
expectations of the user.
* FEATURE: Add keywords support for site_settings search
This change allows for a new `keywords` field that can be added to site
settings in order to help with searching. Keywords are not visible in
the UI, but site settings matching one of the contained keywords will
appear when searching for that keyword.
Keywords can be added for site settings inside of the
`config/locales/server.en.yml` file under the new `keywords` key.
```
site_settings
example_1: "fancy description"
example_2: "another description"
keywords:
example_1: "capybara"
```
* Add keywords entry for a recently changed site setting and add system specs
* Use page.visit now that we have our own visit
Previously we were memoizing based on `defined?`, but the `clear_cache!` method was doing `@blah = nil`. That meant that after the cache was cleared, future calls to the memoized method would return `nil` instead of triggering a recalculation.
The message: :signup_not_allowed option to the IP address validator does nothing, because the AllowedIpAddressValidator chooses one of either:
- ip_address.blocked or
- ip_address.max_new_accounts_per_registration_ip
internally. This means that the translation for this was also never used.
This PR removes the ineffectual option and the unused translation. It also moves the translated error messages for blocked and max_new_accounts_per_registration_ip into the correct location so we can pass a symbol to ActiveModel::Errors#add.
There is no actual change in behaviour.
The EmailValidator.email_regex method was moved to EmailAddressValidator.email_regex and marked for removal in 2.9.0. The method was proxied for backwards compatibility in plugins. This PR removes the method.
The #pluck_first method got a replacement in ActiveRecord core named #pick. After a bunch of replacements in core and plugins, we are now ready to retire this freedom patch.
Plugins can use a new modifier to change which site settings are
hidden using the :hidden_site_settings modifier. For example:
register_modifier(:hidden_site_settings) do |hidden|
(hidden + [:invite_only, :login_required]).uniq
end
- Remove the wildcard crawler. This was already excluding almost all file types, but the exclude list was missing '.gjs' which meant those files were unnecessarily being hoisted into the `public/` directory during precompile
- Automatically include all ember-cli-generated assets without needing them to be listed. The main motivation for this change is to allow us to start using async imports via Embroider/Webpack. The filenames for those new async bundles will not be known in advance.
- Skips sprockets fingerprinting on Embroider/Webpack chunk JS files. Their filenames already include a fingerprint, and having sprockets change the filenames will cause problems for the async import feature (where filenames are included deep inside js bundles)
This commit also updates our ember-cli build so that it skips building plugin tests in the production environment. This should provide a slight build speed improvement.
In the past we would build the stack of Omniauth providers at boot, which meant that plugins had to register any authenticators in the root of their plugin.rb (i.e. not in an `after_initialize` block). This could be frustrating because many features are not available that early in boot (e.g. Zeitwerk autoloading).
Now that we build the omniauth strategy stack 'just in time', it is safe for plugins to register their auth methods in an `after_initialize` block. This commit relaxes the old restrictions so that plugin authors have the option to move things around.
Previously, we would build the stack of omniauth authenticators once on boot. That meant that all strategies had to be included, even if they were disabled. We then used the `before_request_phase` to ensure disabled strategies could not be used. This works well, but it means that omniauth is often doing unnecessary work running logic in disabled strategies.
This commit refactors things so that we build the stack of strategies on each request. That means we only need to include the enabled strategies in the stack - disabled strategies are totally ignored. Building the stack on-demand like this does add some overhead to auth requests, but on the majority of sites that will be significantly outweighed by the fact we're now skipping logic for disabled authenticators.
As well as the slight performance improvement, this new approach means that:
- Broken (i.e. exception-raising) strategies cannot cause issues on a site if they're disabled
- `other_phase` of disabled strategies will never appear in the backtrace of other authentication errors
No plugins or themes rely on anonymous_posting_min_trust_level so we
can just switch straight over to anonymous_posting_allowed_groups
This also adds an AUTO_GROUPS const which can be imported in JS
tests which is analogous to the one defined in group.rb. This can be used
to set the current user's groups where JS tests call for checking these groups
against site settings.
Finally a AtLeastOneGroupValidator validator is added for group_list site
settings which ensures that at least one group is always selected, since if
you want to allow all users to use a feature in this way you can just use
the everyone group.
Using Wizard.exclude_steps applies to all sites in a multisite cluster.
In order to exclude steps for individual sites at run-time, a new
instance method `remove_step` is being added.

The UrlHelper#escape_uri helper has been deprecated and replaced by UrlHelper#normalized_encode, and was marked for removal in 3.0. This PR removes the method.
* FIX: Secure upload post processing race condition
This commit fixes a couple of issues.
A little background -- when uploads are created in the composer
for posts, regardless of whether the upload will eventually be
marked secure or not, if secure_uploads is enabled we always mark
the upload secure at first. This is so the upload is by default
protected, regardless of post type (regular or PM) or category.
This was causing issues in some rare occasions though because
of the order of operations of our post creation and processing
pipeline. When creating a post, we enqueue a sidekiq job to
post-process the post which does various things including
converting images to lightboxes. We were also enqueuing a job
to update the secure status for all uploads in that post.
Sometimes the secure status job would run before the post process
job, marking uploads as _not secure_ in the background and changing
their ACL before the post processor ran, which meant the users
would see a broken image in their posts. This commit fixes that issue
by always running the upload security changes inline _within_ the
cooked_post_processor job.
The other issue was that the lightbox wrapper link for images in
the post would end up with a URL like this:
```
href="/secure-uploads/original/2X/4/4e1f00a40b6c952198bbdacae383ba77932fc542.jpeg"
```
Since we weren't actually using the `upload.url` to pass to
`UrlHelper.cook_url` here, we weren't converting this href to the CDN
URL if the post was not in a secure context (the UrlHelper does not
know how to convert a secure-uploads URL to a CDN one). Now we
always end up with the correct lightbox href. This was less of an issue
than the other one, since the secure-uploads URL works even when the
upload has become non-secure, but it was a good inconsistency to fix
anyway.
As of #23867 this is now a real package, so updating the imports to
use the real package name, rather than relying on the alias. The
name change in the package name is because `I18n` is not a valid
name as NPM packages must be all lowercase.
This commit also introduces an eslint rule to prevent importing from
the old I18n path.
For themes/plugins, the old 'i18n' name remains functional.
There are cases where a user can copy image markdown from a public
post (such as via the discourse-templates plugin) into a PM which
is then sent via an email. Since a PM is a secure context (via the
.with_secure_uploads? check on Post), the image will get a secure
URL in the PM post even though the backing upload is not secure.
This fixes the bug in that case where the image would be stripped
from the email (since it had a /secure-uploads/ URL) but not re-attached
further down the line using the secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
setting because the upload itself was not secure.
The flow in Email::Sender for doing this is still not ideal, but
there are chicken and egg problems around when to strip the images,
how to fit in with other attachments and email size limits, and
when to apply the images inline via Email::Styles. It's convoluted,
but at least this fixes the Template use case for now.
Why this change?
This ensures that malicious requests cannot end up causing the logs to
quickly fill up. The default chosen is sufficient for most legitimate
requests to the Discourse application.
When truncation happens, parsing of logs in supported format like
lograge may break down.
Why this change?
The `PostsController#create` action allows arbitrary topic custom fields
to be set by any user that can create a topic. Without any restrictions,
this opens us up to potential security issues where plugins may be using
topic custom fields in security sensitive areas.
What does this change do?
1. This change introduces the `register_editable_topic_custom_field` plugin
API which allows plugins to register topic custom fields that are
editable either by staff users only or all users. The registered
editable topic custom fields are stored in `DiscoursePluginRegistry` and
is called by a new method `Topic#editable_custom_fields` which is then
used in the `PostsController#create` controller action. When an unpermitted custom fields is present in the `meta_data` params,
a 400 response code is returned.
2. Removes all reference to `meta_data` on a topic as it is confusing
since we actually mean topic custom fields instead.
Preloading just metadata is not always respected by browsers, and
sometimes the whole video will be downloaded. This switches to using a
placeholder image for the video and only loads the video when the play
button is clicked.
Currently, `window.I18n` is defined in an old school hand written
script, inlined into locale/*.js by the Rails asset pipeline, and
then the global variable is shimmed into a pseudo AMD module later
in `module-shims.js`.
This approach has some problems – for one thing, when we add a new
V2 addon (e.g. in #23859), Embroider/Webpack is stricter about its
dependencies and won't let you `import from "I18n";` when `"I18n"`
isn't listed as one of its `dependencies` or `peerDependencies`.
This moves `I18n` into a real package – `discourse-i18n`. (I was
originally planning to keep the `I18n` name since it's a private
package anyway, but NPM packages are supposed to have lower case
names and that may cause problems with other tools.)
This package defines and exports a regular class, but also defines
the default global instance for backwards compatibility. We should
use the exported class in tests to make one-off instances without
mutating the global instance and having to clean it up after the
test run. However, I did not attempt that refactor in this PR.
Since `discourse-i18n` is now included by the app, the locale
scripts needs to be loaded after the app chunks. Since no "real"
work happens until later on when we kick things off in the boot
script, the order in which the script tags appear shouldn't be a
problem. Alternatively, we can rework the locale bundles to be more
lazy like everything else, and require/import them into the app.
I avoided renaming the imports in this commit since that would be
quite noisy and drowns out the actual changes here. Instead, I used
a Webpack alias to redirect the current `"I18n"` import to the new
package for the time being. In a separate commit later on, I'll
rename all the imports in oneshot and remove the alias. As always,
plugins and the legacy bundles (admin/wizard) still relies on the
runtime AMD shims regardless.
For the most part, I avoided refactoring the actual I18n code too
much other than making it a class, and some light stuff like `var`
into `let`.
However, now that it is in a reasonable format to work with (no
longer inside the global script context!) it may also be a good
opportunity to refactor and make clear what is intended to be
public API vs internal implementation details.
Speaking of, I took the librety to make `PLACEHOLDER`, `SEPARATOR`
and `I18nMissingInterpolationArgument` actual constants since it
seemed pretty clear to me those were just previously stashed on to
the `I18n` global to avoid polluting the global namespace, rather
than something we expect the consumers to set/replace.
This is part 2 (of 3) for passkeys support.
This adds a hidden site setting plus routes and controller actions.
1. registering passkeys
Passkeys are registered in a two-step process. First, `create_passkey`
returns details for the browser to create a passkey. This includes
- a challenge
- the relying party ID and Origin
- the user's secure identifier
- the supported algorithms
- the user's existing passkeys (if any)
Then the browser creates a key with this information, and submits it to
the server via `register_passkey`.
2. authenticating passkeys
A similar process happens here as well. First, a challenge is created
and sent to the browser. Then the browser makes a public key credential
and submits it to the server via `passkey_auth_perform`.
3. renaming/deleting passkeys
These routes allow changing the name of a key and deleting it.
4. checking if session is trusted for sensitive actions
Since a passkey is a password replacement, we want to make sure to confirm the user's identity before allowing adding/deleting passkeys. The u/trusted-session GET route returns success if user has confirmed their session (and failed if user hasn't). In the frontend (in the next PR), we're using these routes to show the password confirmation screen.
The `/u/confirm-session` route allows the user to confirm their session with a password. The latter route's functionality already existed in core, under the 2FA flow, but it has been abstracted into its own here so it can be used independently.

For the admin plugin list we want to be able to link to
a meta topic for plugins, but we have no standard way to
do this at the moment. This adds support for meta_topic_id
alongside other plugin metadata like authors, URL etc,
that gets built into a Meta topic URL in the serializer.
To match discourse_theme CLI behavior, we should skip hidden files/directories (e.g. `.git`), and two regular directories: `node_modules/` and `src/`.
Without these excludes, it's very easy for a theme to hit the file count limit. e.g. when trying this with discourse-kanban-board, I got:
> The number of files (20366) in the theme has exceeded the maximum allowed number of files (1024)
