Previously, when the new site was created and after the first admin login, no one will receive notifications to review the user approval queue since only the moderators would receive the PMs about it. Also, this PR will change the "pending_users_reminder_delay_minutes" site setting to 5 minutes while the site is in bootstrap mode.
This adds a hidden site setting of `skip_email_bulk_invites`
If set to `true`, the `BulkInvite` job will pass the value to `Invite`, meaning the generated invite wont trigger an email notification being sent to the newly invited user.
(This is useful if you want to manage the sending of the invite emails outside of Discourse.)
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.
The build is broken due to some changes not being staged when I pushed the previous PR. The assertions that check that a job has been scheduled needs to be updated to reflect the new name.
Doing the following renames:
Jobs::ProblemChecks → Jobs::RunProblemChecks
Jobs::ProblemCheck → Jobs::RunProblemCheck
This is to disambiguate the ProblemCheck class name, ease fuzzy finding, and avoid needing to use :: in a bunch of places.
As part of problem checks refactoring, we're moving some data to be DB backed. In this PR it's the tracking of problem check execution. When was it last run, when was the last problem, when should it run next, how many consecutive checks had problems, etc.
This allows us to implement the perform_every feature in scheduled problem checks for checks that don't need to be run every 10 minutes.
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.
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

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.
A while ago we increased group SMTP read and open timeouts
to address issues we were seeing with Gmail sometimes giving
really long timeouts for these values. The commit was:
3e639e4aa7
Now, we want to increase all SMTP read timeouts to 30s,
since the 5s is too low sometimes, and the ruby Net::SMTP
stdlib also defaults to 30s.
Also, we want to slightly tweak the group smtp email job
not to fail if the IncomingEmail log fails to create, or if
a ReadTimeout is encountered, to avoid retrying the job in sidekiq
again and sending the same email out.
We just completed the 3.2 release, which marks a good time to drop some previously deprecated columns.
Since the column has been marked in ignored_columns, it has been inaccessible to application code since then. There's a tiny risk that this might break a Data Explorer query, but given the nature of the column, the years of disuse, and the fact that such a breakage wouldn't be critical, we accept it.
When exporting a csv file and the size of the file exceeded the
max_export_file_size_kb it will still send the PM that the export
succeeded with a broken link to a missing export file. This change
ensures that a failed message will be sent instead.
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.
We have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.
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.
Why this change?
On CI, we have been seeing the "handles job concurrency" job timing out
on CI after 45 seconds. Upon closer inspection of `Jobs::Base#perform`
when cluster concurrency has been set, we see that a thread is spun up
to extend the expiring of a redis key by 120 seconds every 60 seconds
while the job is still being executed. The thread looks like this before
the fix:
```
keepalive_thread =
Thread.new do
while parent_thread.alive? && !finished
Discourse.redis.without_namespace.expire(cluster_concurrency_redis_key, 120)
sleep 60
end
end
```
In an ensure block of `Jobs::Base#perform`, the thread is stop by doing
something like this:
```
finished = true
keepalive_thread.wakeup
keepalive_thread.join
```
If the thread is sleeping, `keepalive_thread.wakeup` will stop the
`sleep` method and run the next iteration causing the thread to
complete. However, there is a timing issue at play here. If
`keepalive_thread.wakeup` is called at a time when the thread is not
sleeping, it will have no effect and the thread may end up sleeping for
60 seconds which is longer than our timeout on CI of 45 seconds.
What does this change do?
1. Change `sleep 60` to sleep in intervals of 1 second checking if the
job has been finished each time.
2. Add `use_redis_snapshotting` to `Jobs::Base` spec since Redis is
involved in scheduling and we want to ensure we don't leak Redis
keys.
3. Add `ConcurrentJob.stop!` and `thread.join` to `ensure` block in "handles job concurrency"
test since a failing expectation will cause us to not clean up the
thread we created in the test.
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_flag_posts site setting to flag_post_allowed_groups.
Note: In the original setting, "posts" is plural. I have changed this to "post" singular in the new setting to match others.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.
See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/283408
- Hides the old setting
- Adds the new site setting
- Add a deprecation warning
- Updates to use the new setting
- Adds a migration to fill in the new setting if the old setting was
changed
- Adds an entry to the site_setting.keywords section
- Updates tests to account for the new change
- After a couple of months, we will remove the min_trust_to_create_topicsetting entirely.

The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
This commit fixes an issue where when some actions were done
(deleting/recovering post, moving posts) we updated the
topic_users.bookmarked column to the wrong value. This was happening
because the SyncTopicUserBookmarked job was not taking into account
Topic level bookmarks, so if there was a Topic bookmark and no
Post bookmarks for a user in the topic, they would have
topic_users.bookmarked set to false, which meant the bookmark would
no longer show in the /bookmarks list.
To reproduce before the fix:
* Bookmark a topic and don’t bookmark any posts within
* Delete or recover any post in the topic

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 PR does some preparatory refactoring of scheduled admin checks in order for us to be able to do custom retry strategies for some of them.
Instead of running all checks in sequence inside a single, scheduled job, the scheduled job spawns one new job per check.
In order to be concurrency-safe, we need to change the existing Redis data structure from a string (of serialized JSON) to a list of strings (of serialized JSON).
If a codeblock contains **exactly** the same markdown as an image which has been retrieved by the 'pull hotlinked' job, then it will be replaced with the new URL. This commit adds failing (skipped) tests for this issue.
This is a bug that happens only when the current date is less than 90 days from a date on which the time zone transitions into or out of Daylight Savings Time.
In these conditions, bulk invites show the time of day of their expiration as being 1 hour later than the current time.
Whereas it should match the time of day the invite was generated.
This is because the server has not been using the user's timezone in calculating the expiration time of day. This PR fixes issue by considering the user's timezone when doing the date math.

After fbe0e4c we always pass a block into these methods.
So yield inside the export methods works and there is no need
anymore to wrap them into enumerators.
Our code assumed the content_range interval was inclusive, but they are open-ended due to Postgres' [discrete range types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rangetypes.html#RANGETYPES-DISCRETE), meaning [1,2] will be represented as [1,3).
It also fixes some flaky tests due to test data not being correctly setup and the registry not being resetted after each test.
When we receive the stream parameter, we'll queue a job that periodically publishes partial updates, and after the summarization finishes, a final one with the completed version, plus metadata.
`summary-box` listens to these updates via MessageBus, and updates state accordingly.
A previous change updated `ReviewableQueuedPost`'s `created_by`
to be consistent with other reviewable types. It assigns
the the creator of the post being queued to `target_created_by` and sets
the `created_by` to the creator of the reviewable itself.
This fix updates some of the `created_by` references missed during the
intial fix.
We recently introduced this advice to admins when some translation overrides are outdated or using unknown interpolation keys:
However we missed the case where the original translation key has been renamed or altogether removed. When this happens they are no longer visible in the admin interface, leading to the confusing situation where we say there are outdated translations, but none are shown.
Because we don't explicitly handle this case, some deleted translations were incorrectly marked as having unknown interpolation keys. (This is because I18n.t will return a string like "Translation missing: foo", which obviously has no interpolation keys inside.)
This change adds an additional status, deprecated for TranslationOverride, and the job that checks them will check for this status first, taking precedence over invalid_interpolation_keys. Since the advice only checks for the outdated and invalid_interpolation_keys statuses, this fixes the problem.
This PR adds a feature to help admins stay up-to-date with their translations. We already have protections preventing admins from problems when they update their overrides. This change adds some protection in the other direction (where translations change in core due to an upgrade) by creating a notice for admins when defaults have changed.
Terms:
- In the case where Discourse core changes the default translation, the translation override is considered "outdated".
- In the case above where interpolation keys were changed from the ones the override is using, it is considered "invalid".
- If none of the above applies, the override is considered "up to date".
How does it work?
There are a few pieces that makes this work:
- When an admin creates or updates a translation override, we store the original translation at the time of write. (This is used to detect changes later on.)
- There is a background job that runs once every day and checks for outdated and invalid overrides, and marks them as such.
- When there are any outdated or invalid overrides, a notice is shown in admin dashboard with a link to the text customization page.
Known limitations
The link from the dashboard links to the default locale text customization page. Given there might be invalid overrides in multiple languages, I'm not sure what we could do here. Consideration for future improvement.
What is the problem?
When an admin changes the default_sidebar_categories or default_sidebar_tags site settings and opts to backfill the setting,
we currently enqueue a sidekiq job to run the backfilling operation. When an admin changes those settings multiple times
within a short time frame, multiple sidekiq jobs with different backfilling parameters will be enqueued.
This is problematic if multiple jobs are executed concurrently as it may lead to situations where a job
with “outdated” site setting values is completed after a job with the “latest” site setting values.
What is the fix?
By setting `cluster_concurrency` to `1`, we ensure that only one of such
backfilling job will execute across all the sidekiq processes that are
deployed at any point in time. Since Sidekiq pops off job in the order
in which they are pushed, limiting the cluster concurrency here will
allow us to execute the enqueued `Jobs::BackfillSidebarSiteSettings`
jobs serially.
