- DEV: maxmind license checking failing tests #24534
- UX: Show if MaxMind key is missing on IP lookup #18993
These changes are leading to surprising results, our logs are now filling up with warnings on dev environments
We need the change to be redone
This improves the implementation of #18993
1. Error message displayed to user is clearer
2. open_db will also be called, even if license key is blank, as it was previously
3. This in turn means no need to keep stubbing 'maxmind_license_key'
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.
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
