This option was introduced at some point in the past, but was removed
during the work necessary to make Discourse work with a large number of
categories.
Follow up to commit 2e68ead45b.
Why this change?
Instead of manually loading files, we should just structure the plugin
so that it relies on Rails autoload strategy and avoid all the manual
`require_relative`s.
What does this change do?
1. Structure the plugin to use Rails autoloading convention
2. Remove onceff jobs that were added 5-6 years ago. There is no need to
carry these jobs anymore after such a long time.
3. Move setting of `SiteSetting.discourse_narrative_bot_enabled` to
`false` in the test environment from core into the plugin.
Why this change?
The `/admin/customize/themes/:id/schema/name` route is a work in
progress but we want to be able to start navigating to it from the
`/admin/customize/themes/:id` route.
What does this change do?
1. Move `adminCustomizeThemes.schema` to a child route of
`adminCustomizeThemes.show`. This is because we need the model
from the parent route and if it isn't a child route we end up
having to load the theme model again from the server.
1. Add the `objects_schema` attribute to `ThemeSettingsSerializer`
1. Refactor `SiteSettingComponent` to be able to render a button
so that we don't have to hardcode the button rendering into the
`SiteSettings::String` component
Adds a site setting to include a post's content in penalty message.
When silencing/suspending a user from a post, or a reviewable with
a post, adds an option to include a post's content in the email
message by default.
This commit changes the wording of the 50 site settings that
previously had the shortest descriptions (e.g. City for Disputes
was described as City for Disputes...) using AI-generated and then
human curated descriptions based on the Forum Helper persona
on Discourse Meta.
In future we may want to do more of these, this is only a first pass.

When a post is created by an incoming email, we show
an envelope icon on it which then opens a modal with the
raw email contents. Previously this was staff (admin+mod)
only, but now this commit adds the `view_raw_email_allowed_groups`
site setting, so any group can be added to give users permission
to see this.
Why this change?
Previously in cac60a2c6b, I added support
for `type: "category"` for a property in the theme objects schema. This
commit extend the work previously to add support for types `topic`,
`post`, `group`, `upload` and `tag`.
Why this change?
This change adds validation for the default value for `type: objects` theme
settings when a setting theme field is uploaded. This helps the theme
author to ensure that the objects which they specifc in the default
value adhere to the schema which they have declared.
When an error is encountered in one of the objects, the error
message will look something like:
`"The property at JSON Pointer '/0/title' must be at least 5 characters
long."`
We use a JSON Pointer to reference the property in the object which is
something most json-schema validator uses as well.
What does this change do?
1. This commit once again changes the shape of hash returned by
`ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate`. Instead of using the
property name as the key previously, we have decided to avoid
multiple levels of nesting and instead use a JSON Pointer as the key
which helps to simplify the implementation.
2 Introduces `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator.validate_objects` which
returns an array of validation error messages for all the objects
passed to the method.
This commit adds a loading spinner when installing a theme as sometimes
installing a theme can take quite a bit of time this way we have some
indication that things are still working as the theme is being
installed.
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.
Why this change?
This regressed in 6e9fbb5bab because we
had a `request.xhr?` check before we decide to block requests. However,
there could not none-xhr requests which we need to block as well at the
end of each system test when `@@block_requests` is true.
This also reverts commit 6437f27f90.
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

Why this change?
This reverts 725561cf4b as it did not
address the root cause of the problem even though it fixed the failing tests we were seeing
when running `bundle exec rspec --tag ~type:multisite --order random:776 spec/system/admin_customize_form_templates_spec.rb spec/system/admin_sidebar_navigation_spec.rb spec/system/admin_site_setting_search_spec.rb spec/system/composer/dont_feed_the_trolls_popup_spec.rb spec/system/composer/review_media_unless_trust_level_spec.rb spec/system/create_account_spec.rb spec/system/editing_sidebar_tags_navigation_spec.rb spec/system/email_change_spec.rb spec/system/emojis/emoji_deny_list_spec.rb spec/system/group_activity_spec.rb spec/system/hashtag_autocomplete_spec.rb spec/system/network_disconnected_spec.rb spec/system/post_menu_spec.rb spec/system/post_small_action_spec.rb spec/system/tags_intersection_spec.rb spec/system/topic_list_focus_spec.rb spec/system/topic_page_spec.rb spec/system/user_page/user_profile_info_panel_spec.rb spec/system/viewing_group_members_spec.rb spec/system/viewing_navigation_menu_preferences_spec.rb`.
The root cause here is that `before_action`s added to a controller is
order dependent. As such, some requests were not setting the cookie
because the `before_action` callback was not even hit as a prior
`before_action` callbacks has raised an error such as the `check_xhr`
`before_action` callback.
To resolve the problem, we need to add the `prepend: true` option in
our monkey patch of `ApplicationController` to ensure that the
`before_action` callback which we have added is always run first.
This change also makes a couple of changes:
1. Improve the response body when a request is blocked by the `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware
so that it makes debugging easier.
2. Only set the cookies for non-xhr HTML format requests. Setting it for
other formats is kind of pointless.
Why this change?
We noticed that running `LOAD_PLUGINS=1 rspec --seed=38855 plugins/chat/spec/system/chat_new_message_spec.rb` locally
results in the system tests randomly failing. When we inspected the
request logs closely, we noticed that a `/presence/get` request from a
previous rspec example was being processed when a new rspec example is
already being run. We know it was from the previous rspec example
because inspecting the auth token showed the request using the auth
token of a user from the previous example. However, when a request using
an auth token from a previous example is used it ends up logging out the
same user on the server side because the user id in the cookie is the same
due to the use of `fab!`.
I did some research and there is apparently no way to wait until all
inflight requests by the browser has completed through capybara or
selenium. Therefore, we will add an identifier by attaching a cookie to all non-xhr requests so that
xhr requests which are triggered subsequently will contain the cookie in the request.
In the `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware, we will then reject any
requests when the value of the identifier in the cookie does not match the current rspec's example
location.
To see the problem locally, change `Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider.find_v1_auth_cookie` to the following:
```
def self.find_v1_auth_cookie(env)
return env[DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE] if env.key?(DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE)
env[DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE] = begin
request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(env)
cookie = request.cookies[TOKEN_COOKIE]
# don't even initialize a cookie jar if we don't have a cookie at all
if cookie&.valid_encoding? && cookie.present?
puts "#{env["REQUEST_PATH"]} #{request.cookie_jar.encrypted[TOKEN_COOKIE]&.with_indifferent_access}"
request.cookie_jar.encrypted[TOKEN_COOKIE]&.with_indifferent_access
end
end
end
```
After which run the following command: `LOAD_PLUGINS=1 rspec --format documentation --seed=38855 plugins/chat/spec/system/chat_new_message_spec.rb`
It takes a few tries but the last spec should fail and you should see something like this:
```

Note how the `/presence/get` request is using a token from the previous example.

We're starting to use this system for non-ember-5 deprecations, so linking to the Ember 5 topic doesn't make sense. Instead, we can include the deprecation ID to help with identifying the issue.
The Digital Services Act requires a checkbox for any user who's flagging a post as illegal to confirm that they are flagging in good faith. This PR adds that.
Why this change?
This change supports a property of `type: category` in the schema that
is declared for a theme setting object. Example:
```
sections:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
category_property:
type: category
```
The value of a property declared as `type: category` will have to be a
valid id of a row in the `categories` table.
What does this change do?
Adds a property value validation step for `type: category`. Care has
been taken to ensure that we do not spam the database with a ton of
requests if there are alot of category typed properties. This is done by
walking through the entire object and collecting all the values for
properties typed category. After which, a single database query is
executed to validate which values are valid.
Why this change?
Firstly, note that this is not a security commit because this feature is
still in development and should not be used anywhere.
The reason we want to set a limit here is to greatly reduce the
possibility of a DoS attack in the future via `ThemeSetting` where
someone would set an arbituary large json string in
`ThemeSetting#json_value` and causing the server to run out of resources
trying to serialize/deserialize the value.
What does this change do?
Adds an ActiveRecord validation to ensure that the bytesize of the json
string being stored is smaller than or equal to 0.5mb. We believe 0.5mb
is a decent limit for now but we can review the limit in the future if
we believe it is too small.
Why this change?
The logic for validating a theme setting's value and default value was
not consistent as each part of the code would implement its own logic.
This is not ideal as the default value may be validated differently than
when we are setting a new value. Therefore, this commit seeks to
refactor all the validation logic for a theme setting's value into a
single service class.
What does this change do?
Introduce the `ThemeSettingsValidator` service class which holds all the
necessary helper methods required to validate a theme setting's value
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.
This commit introduces the possibility to stream messages. To allow plugins to use streaming this commit also ships a `ChatSDK` library to allow to interact with few parts of discourse chat.
```ruby
ChatSDK::Message.create_with_stream(raw: "test") do |helper|
5.times do |i|
is_streaming = helper.stream(raw: "more #{i}")
next if !is_streaming
sleep 2
end
end
```
This commit also introduces all the frontend parts:
- messages can now be marked as streaming
- when streaming their content will be updated when a new content is appended
- a special UI will be showing (a blinking indicator)
- a cancel button allows the user to stop the streaming, when cancelled `helper.stream(...)` will return `false`, and the plugin can decide exit early
Why this change?
This commit updates `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator` to validate a
property's value against the validations listed in the schema.
For string types, `min_length`, `max_length` and `url` are supported.
For integer and float types, `min` and `max` are supported.
Why this change?
This change adds property value validation to `ThemeSettingsObjectValidator`
for the following types: "string", "integer", "float", "boolean", "enum". Note
that this class is not being used anywhere yet and is still in
development.
Why this change?
For some reason, we were setting up bootsnap manually even though the
official documentation suggests requiring `bootsnap/setup` which will
setup bootsnap using the default configuration. Because we were calling
`Bootsnap.setup` manually, we did not set the `development_mode` option
which defaults to `true`. Hence, we were running bootsnap in development
mode even in the production environment which I suppose is not ideal.
What does this change do?
Instead of calling `Bootsnap.setup` manually, we can just use `require
'bootsnap/setup' instead.`
Affects the following settings:
delete_all_posts_and_topics_allowed_groups
experimental_new_new_view_groups
enable_experimental_admin_ui_groups
custom_summarization_allowed_groups
pm_tags_allowed_for_groups
chat_allowed_groups
direct_message_enabled_groups
chat_message_flag_allowed_groups
This turns off client: true for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
This commit is the first of a series of commits that will allow themes to define complex settings types by declaring a schema of the setting structure that Discourse core will use to build a UI for the setting automatically. We implement the navigation logic and support for multiple levels of nesting in this commit and we'll continue building this new system gradually in future commits.
Internal topic: t/116870.
Why this change?
This is a first pass at adding an objects validator which main's job is
to validate an object against a defined schema which we will support. In
this pass, we are simply validating that properties that has been marked
as required are present in the object.
Why this change?
We have been debugging flaky system tests and noticed in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/actions/runs/7911902047/job/21596791343?pr=25690
that ActiveRecord connection checkout timeouts are encountered because
the Capybara server thread is processing requests even after
`Capybara.reset_session!` and ActiveRecord's `teardown_fixtures` have already been call.
The theory here is that an inflight request can still hit the Capybara
server even after `Capybara.reset_session!` has been called and end up
eating up an ActiveRecord connection for too long and also messing with
the database outside of a transaction.
What does this change do?
This change adds a `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware in the test
environment which is enabled to reject all incoming requests at the end
of each system test and before `Capybara.reset_session!` is called. At
the start of each RSpec test, the middleware is disabled again.
This would allow a theme component (or an API call) to reset the bump
date of a topic to a given post's created_at date.
I picked `post_id` as the parameter here because it provides a bit of
extra protection against accidentally resetting the bump date to a date
that doesn't make sense.
