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.
Ability to automatically generate migration when site setting is changed from trust level to groups.
Example usage:
rails generate site_setting_move_to_groups_migration min_trust_to_create_topic create_topic_allowed_groups
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_allow_ignore site setting to ignore_allowed_groups.
This PR maintains backwards compatibility until we can update plugins and themes using this.
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_allow_invite site setting to invite_allowed_groups.
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
in refactoring stats in Core. Without this API, I wasn't able to do all refactorings
I wanted when working on d91456f.
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_allow_user_card_background site setting to user_card_background_allowed_groups.
Nothing of note here. This is used in exactly one place, and there's no fallout.
This validator is used for site settings where one or more groups are to be input.
At the moment this validator just checks that the value isn't blank. This PR adds a validation for the existence of the groups passed in.
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 tl4_delete_posts_and_topics site setting to delete_all_posts_and_topics_allowed_groups.
This one is a bit different from previous ones, as it's a boolean flag, and the default should be no group. Pay special attention to the migration during review.

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`

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

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),
and anyway this method of getting the plugin name is not
translated either.
Better to use the plugin setting category if it exists,
since that is written by a human and is translated.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.
