Since 5bfe051e, Discourse user agents are marked as non-crawlers (to avoid accidental blacklisting). This makes sure pageviews for these agents are tracked as crawler hits.
By default, this does nothing. Two environment variables are available:
- `DISCOURSE_LOG_SIDEKIQ`
Set to `"1"` to enable logging. This will log all completed jobs to `log/rails/sidekiq.log`, along with various db/redis/network statistics. This is useful to track down poorly performing jobs.
- `DISCOURSE_LOG_SIDEKIQ_INTERVAL`
(seconds) Check running jobs periodically, and log their current duration. They will appear in the logs with `status:pending`. This is useful to track down jobs which take a long time, then crash sidekiq before completing.
This avoids require dependency on method_profiler and anon cache.
It means that if there is any change to these files the reloader will not pick it up.
Previously the reloader was picking up the anon cache twice causing it to double load on boot.
This caused warnings.
Long term my plan is to give up on require dependency and instead use:
https://github.com/Shopify/autoload_reloader
Previously the 'reconnect' process was a bit magic - IF you were already logged into discourse, and followed the auth flow, your account would be reconnected and you would be 'logged in again'.
Now, we explicitly check for a reconnect=true parameter when the flow is started, store it in the session, and then only follow the reconnect logic if that variable is present. Setting this parameter also skips the 'logged in again' step, which means reconnect now works with 2fa enabled.
Also added some helpful functionality for plugin developers:
- Raises RuntimeException if the auth provider has been registered too late
- Logs use of deprecated parameters
* Phase 0 for user-selectable theme components
- Drops `key` column from the `themes` table
- Drops `theme_key` column from the `user_options` table
- Adds `theme_ids` (array of ints default []) column to the `user_options` table and migrates data from `theme_key` to the new column.
- Removes the `default_theme_key` site setting and adds `default_theme_id` instead.
- Replaces `theme_key` cookie with a new one called `theme_ids`
- no longer need Theme.settings_for_client
This refinement of previous fix moves the crawler blocking into
anonymous cache
This ensures we never poison the cache incorrectly when blocking crawlers
If "logged in" is being forced anonymous on certain routes, trigger
the protection for any requests that spend 50ms queueing
This means that ...
1. You need to trip it by having 3 requests take longer than 1 second in 10 second interval
2. Once tripped, if your route is still spending 50m queueuing it will continue to be protected
This means that site will continue to function with almost no delays while it is scaling up to handle the new load
If a particular path is being hit extremely hard by logged on users,
revert to anonymous cached view.
This will only come into effect if 3 requests queue for longer than 2 seconds
on a *single* path.
This can happen if a URL is shared with the entire forum base and everyone
is logged on
Detailed request loggers can be used to gather rich timing info
from all requests (which in turn can be forwarded to monitoring solution)
Middleware::RequestTracker.detailed_request_logger(->|env, data| do
# do stuff with env and data
end
This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
FIX: keep the "uploading..." indicator until the server replies via the MessageBus
FIX: text was disapearing when uploading an avatar
PERF: always use a region for S3 (defaults to 'us-east-1')
FEATURE: ApplyCDN middleware when using S3
FIX: use the same pattern to store files on S3 and locally
PERF: keep a local cache of uploads when generating thumbnails
FEATURE: migrate_to_s3 rake task
