There have been too many flaky tests as a result of leaking state in
Redis so it is easier to resolve them by ensuring we flush Redis'
database.
Locally on my machine, calling `Discourse.redis.flushdb` takes around
0.1ms which means this change will have very little impact on test
runtimes.
Currently, categories support designating only 1 group as a moderation group on the category. This commit removes the one group limitation and makes it possible to designate multiple groups as mods on a category.
Internal topic: t/124648.
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

For performance reasons we don't automatically add fabricated users to trust level auto-groups. However, when explicitly passing a trust level to the fabricator, in 99% of cases it means that trust level is relevant for the test, and we need the groups.
This change makes it so that when a trust level is explicitly passed to the fabricator, the auto-groups are refreshed. There's no longer a need to also pass refresh_auto_groups: true, which means clearer tests, fewer mistakes, and less confusion.
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.
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.

- 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 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.
Previously we would respect it if the filter was `nil`, but if `default` was explicitly passed then it would ignore the category order settings. This explicit passing of `filter=default` happens for some types of navigations in the JS app.
This extends the fix from 92bc61b4be
When navigating around, we make ajax requests with a parameter like `?filter=latest`. This results in the TopicQuery being set up with `filter: "latest"` as a string. The logic introduced in fd9a5bc0 checks for equality with `:latest` and `:unseen` symbols, which didn't work correctly in this situation
This commit makes the logic detect both strings and symbols, and adds a spec for the behaviour.
Recently, site setting watched_precedence_over_muted was introduced - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22252
In this PR, we are allowing users to override it. The option is only displayed when the user has watched categories and muted tags, or vice versa.
New setting which allow admin to define behavior when topic is in watched category and muted topic and vice versa.
If watched_precedence_over_muted setting is true, that topic is still visible in list of topics and notification is created.
If watched_precedence_over_muted setting is false, that topic is not still visible in list of topics and notification is skipped as well.
What does this change do?
Suggested topics by default are ordered in the following way:
1. Unread topics in current category of topic that is being viewed
2. Unread topics in other categories
3. New topics in current category of topics that is being viewed
4. New topics in other categories
5. Random topics
With the experimental new new view, we want to remove the concept of
read and new so that new order is as such:
1. Topics created by the current user with posts that the user has not
read ordered by topic's bumped date
2. Topics in current category of topic with posts that the user has not
read ordered by topic's bumped date
3. Topics in other categories with posts that the user has not read
ordered by topic's bumped date
4. Random topics ordered by topic's bumped date
Our schema allows `category.topic_id` to be NULL. Null values shouldn't actually happen in production, but it is very common in tests because `Fabricate(:category)` skips creating the definition topic to improve performance. Before this commit, a NULL category.topic_id would cause all subcategory topics to be excluded from a TopicQuery result. This is because, in postgres, `NULL <> anything` is falsy. Instead, we can use `IS DISTINCT FROM`, which will return true when NULL is compared to a non-NULL value.
This commit adds backend support for a new topics list that combines both the current unread and new topics lists. We're going to experiment with this new list (name TBD) internally and decide if this feature is something that we want to fully build.
Internal topic: t/77234.
TL4 users can already list and unlist topics, but they can't see
the unlisted topics. This change brings this to par by allowing
TL4 users to also see unlisted topics.
# Context
When a topic is reviewable by a group we give those group moderators some admin abilities including the ability to delete a topic.
# Problem
There are two main problems:
1. Currently when a group moderator deletes a topic they are redirected to root (not the same for staff)
2. Viewing the categories deleted topics (`c/foo/1/?status=deleted`) does not display the deleted topic to the group moderator (not the same for staff).
# Fix
If the `deleted_by` user is part a group that matches the `reviewable_by_group` on a topic then don't redirect. This is the default interaction for staff to give them the ability to do things like restore the topic in case it was accidentally deleted.
To render the deleted topics as expected for the group moderator I am utilizing [the guardian scope of `guardian.can_see_deleted_topics?` for said category](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/19618/files#diff-288e61b8bacdb29d9c2e05b42da6837b0036dcf1867332d977ca7c5e74a44297R802-R803)
* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
cf. e62e93f83a
This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
When preloading topic_list data we were giving it a 'preload key' which was loosely based on the parameters of the list. However, it did not include all parameters, and mismatches between client/server-side logic would cause the preloaded data to be ignored.
This commit simplifies things by using a single key for all topic_list preloading. This works on the assumption that "The first topic_list the JS app will load is the one which was preloaded". That assumption also existed to some extent in the old design, so we don't expect any regressions here.
`TopicQueryParams` allows for `match_all_tags` to be passed as a query parameter. `TagsController` forces the value to be true.
This change allows a value to be passed, and only sets it to true if no value has been set. It then uses `ActiveModel::Type::Boolean.new.cast` to compare the value.
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
At some point in the past we decided to rename the 'regular' notification state of topics/categories to 'normal'. However, some UI copy was missed when the initial renaming was done so this commit changes the spots that were missed to the new name.
We have not used anything related to bookmarks for PostAction
or UserAction records since 2020, bookmarks are their own thing
now. Deleting all this is just cleaning up old cruft.
If a group's messageable_level is set to nobody then staff can't should not be able to send PMs to it.

It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
