* FIX: Mark invites flash messages as HTML safe.
This change should be safe as all user inputs included in the errors are sanitized before sending it back to the client.
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-tags-are-explicit-after-latest-update/214220
* If somebody adds a new error message that includes user input and doesn't sanitize it, using html-safe suddenly becomes unsafe again. As an extra layer of protection, we make the client sanitize the error message received from the backend.
* Escape user input instead of sanitizing
This commit introduces scheduled problem checks for the admin dashboard, which are long running or otherwise cumbersome problem checks that will be run every 10 minutes rather than every time the dashboard is loaded. If these scheduled checks add a problem, the problem will remain until it is cleared or until the scheduled job runs again.
An example of a check that should be scheduled is validating credentials against an external provider.
This commit also introduces the concept of a `priority` to the problems generated by `AdminDashboardData` and the scheduled checks. This is `low` by default, and can be set to `high`, but this commit does not change any part of the UI with this information, only adds a CSS class.
I will be making a follow up PR to check group SMTP credentials.
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.

Use @here to mention all users that were allowed to topic directly or
through group, who liked topics or read the topic. Only first 10 users
will be notified.
The file size error messages for max_image_size_kb and
max_attachment_size_kb are shown to the user in the KB
format, regardless of how large the limit is. Since we
are going to support uploading much larger files soon,
this KB-based limit soon becomes unfriendly to the end
user.
For example, if the max attachment size is set to 512000
KB, this is what the user sees:
> Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is too big (maximum
size is 512000KB)
This makes the user do math. In almost all file explorers that
a regular user would be familiar width, the file size is shown
in a format based on the maximum increment (e.g. KB, MB, GB).
This commit changes the behaviour to output a humanized file size
instead of the raw KB. For the above example, it would now say:
> Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is too big (maximum
size is 512 MB)
This humanization also handles decimals, e.g. 1536KB = 1.5 MB
This reverts a part of changes introduced by https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13947
In that PR I:
1. Disallowed topic feature links for TL-0 users
2. Additionally, disallowed just putting any URL in topic titles for TL-0 users
Actually, we don't need the second part. It introduced unnecessary complexity for no good reason. In fact, it tries to do the job that anti-spam plugins (like Akismet plugin) should be doing.
This PR reverts this second change.
This disallows putting URLs in topic titles for TL0 users, which means that:
If a TL-0 user puts a link into the title, a topic featured link won't be generated (as if it was disabled in the site settings)
Server methods for creating and updating topics will be refusing featured links when they are called by TL-0 users
TL-0 users won't be able to put any link into the topic title. For example, the title "Hey, take a look at https://my-site.com" will be rejected.
Also, it improves a bit server behavior when creating or updating feature links on topics in the categories with disabled featured links. Before the server just silently ignored a featured link field that was passed to him, now it will be returning 422 response.
Using an invalid value was allowed. This commit tries to automatically
fix the color by adding missing # symbol or will show an error to the
user if it is not possible and it is not a CSS color either.
We have a few places in the code where we need to validate various email related settings, and will have another soon with the improved group email settings UI. This PR introduces a class which can validate POP3, IMAP, and SMTP credentials and also provide a friendly error message for issues if they must be presented to an end user.
This PR does not change any existing code to use the new service. I have added a TODO to change POP3 validation and the email test rake task to use the new validator post-release.
Rails 6.1.3.1 deprecates a few API and has some internal changes that break our tests suite, so this commit fixes all the deprecations and errors and now Discourse should be fully compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1. We also have a new release of the rails_failover gem that's compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
It used to simply say "title is invalid" without giving any hint what
the problem could be. This commit adds different errors messages for
all caps titles, low entropy titles or titles with very long words.
We have the `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment on all our
files. This means all string literals are frozen. There is no need
to call #freeze on any literals.
For files with `# frozen_string_literal: true`
```
puts %w{a b}[0].frozen?
=> true
puts "hi".frozen?
=> true
puts "a #{1} b".frozen?
=> true
puts ("a " + "b").frozen?
=> false
puts (-("a " + "b")).frozen?
=> true
```

* FEATURE: add setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to auto approve users
This commit adds a new site setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to
auto approve users based on their email address domain.
Note that if a domain already exists in `email_domains_whitelist` then
`auto_approve_email_domains` needs to be duplicated there as well,
since users won’t be able to register with email address that is
not allowed in `email_domains_whitelist`.
* Update config/locales/server.en.yml

When 'categories topics' setting is set to 0, the system will
automatically try to find a value to keep the two columns (categories
and topics) symmetrical.
The value is computed as 1.5x the number of top level categories and at
least 5 topics will always be returned.
The following methods have long been deprecated in ruby due to flaws in their implementation per http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/29293?29179-31097:
URI.escape
URI.unescape
URI.encode
URI.unencode
escape/encode are just aliases for one another. This PR uses the Addressable gem to replace these methods with its own encode, unencode, and encode_component methods where appropriate.
I have put all references to Addressable::URI here into the UrlHelper to keep them corralled in one place to make changes to this implementation easier.
Addressable is now also an explicit gem dependency.
* Add timezone to user_options table
* Also migrate existing timezone values from UserCustomField,
which is where the discourse-calendar plugin is storing them
* Allow user to change their core timezone from Profile
* Auto guess & set timezone on login & invite accept & signup
* Serialize user_options.timezone for group members. this is so discourse-group-timezones can access the core user timezone, as it is being removed in discourse-calendar.
* Annotate user_option with timezone
* Validate timezone values
* Abort CensoredWordsValidator early if censored_words_regexp nil. Sometimes censored_words_regex can end up nil, erroring the validator. This handles the nil condition and also adds a spec for the validator
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
Currently, the topic is only validated for censored words and should be validated for blocked words as well.
Blocked word validation is now used by both Post and Topic. To avoid code duplication, I extracted blocked words validation code into separate Validator, and use it in both places.
The only downside is that even if the topic contains blocked words validation message is saying "Your post contains a word that's not allowed: tomato" but I think this is descriptive enough.
This commit contains 3 features:
- FEATURE: Allow downloading watched words
This introduces a button that allows admins to download watched words per action in a `.txt` file.
- FEATURE: Allow clearing watched words in bulk
This adds a "Clear All" button that clears all deleted words per action (e.g. block, flag etc.)
- FEATURE: List all blocked words contained in the post when it's blocked
When a post is rejected because it contains one or more blocked words, the error message now lists all the blocked words contained in the post.
-------
This also changes the format of the file for importing watched words from `.csv` to `.txt` so it becomes inconsistent with the extension of the file when watched words are exported.
Having different behavior for staff and regular users can make it confusing for admins to understand how their configuration changes affect regular users
We were blocking user registrations with same username and password,
but allowing usernames to be changed to be same as password later.
Also disallow names to be the same as password.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
Minor fixes to add Rails 6 support to Discourse, we now will boot
with RAILS_MASTER=1, all specs pass
Only one tiny deprecation left
Largest change was the way ActiveModel:Errors changed interface a
bit but there is a simple backwards compat way of working it
We had quite a few cases in core where inputs are being mutated as a side
effect of calling a method.
This handles all the cases where specs caught this.
Mutating inputs makes code harder to reason about. Eg:
```
frog = "frog"
jump(frog)
puts frog
"fly" # ?????
```
This commit is part of a followup commit that adds # frozen_string_literal
to all our specs.
This functionality was never supported but before the new review queue
it didn't have any errors. Now the combination of settings is prevented
and existing sites with sso enabled will be migrated to remove invite
only.
The `posts` relation on `Topic` is not ordered. Using `Topic.posts.first`
is basically the same as asking for a random post, it will depend on DB
order. This breaks on Topic merge and split for example.
Additionally, a huge problem with that is that it forces active record down
a slow path. `Topic.posts.first` is extremely slow on giant topics, since
it has no default ordering it appears AR materializes the entire set prior
to doing `first`.
This commit also illustrates the importance of testing, initially I only
fixed the second instance of the problem in `post_validator.rb` but testing
revealed that the problem was repeated at the top of the file.
Longer term we should consider a larger change of default ordering the posts
relations so people do not fall down this trap anymore.
* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
* FEATURE: New site setting for additional allowed filetypes for staff
* Problematic variable name
* feedback
* small issues
* fix indentation
* failing tests
* Remove message bus and fix minor issues
* Missed this message bus
