We really want to encourage all developers to use Ember CLI for local
development and testing. This will display an error page if they are not
with instructions on how to start the local server.
To disable it, you can set `NO_EMBER_CLI=1` as an ENV variable
* DEV: Give a nicer error when `--proxy` argument is missing
* DEV: Improve Ember CLI's bootstrap logic
Instead of having Ember CLI know which URLs to proxy or not, have it try
the URL with a special header `HTTP_X_DISCOURSE_EMBER_CLI`. If present,
and Discourse thinks we should bootstrap the application, it will
instead stop rendering and return a HTTP HEAD with a response header
telling Ember CLI to bootstrap.
In other words, any time Rails would otherwise serve up the HTML for the
Ember app, it stops and says "no, you do it."
* DEV: Support asset filters by path using a new options object
Without this, Ember CLI's bootstrap would not get the assets it wants
because the path it was requesting was different than the browser path.
This adds an optional request header to fix it.
So far this is only used by the styleguide.
This commit allows themes and theme components to have QUnit tests. To add tests to your theme/component, create a top-level directory in your theme and name it `test`, and Discourse will save all the files in that directory (and its sub-directories) as "tests files" in the database. While tests files/directories are not required to be organized in a specific way, we recommend that you follow Discourse core's tests [structure](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/tests).
Writing theme tests should be identical to writing plugins or core tests; all the `import` statements and APIs that you see in core (or plugins) to define/setup tests should just work in themes.
You do need a working Discourse install to run theme tests, and you have 2 ways to run theme tests:
* In the browser at the `/qunit` route. `/qunit` will run tests of all active themes/components as well as core and plugins. The `/qunit` now accepts a `theme_name` or `theme_url` params that you can use to run tests of a specific theme/component like so: `/qunit?theme_name=<your_theme_name>`.
* In the command line using the `themes:qunit` rake task. This take is meant to run tests of a single theme/component so you need to provide it with a theme name or URL like so: `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[name=<theme_name>]` or `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[url=<theme_url>]`.
There are some refactors to how Discourse processes JavaScript that comes with themes/components, and these refactors may break your JS customizations; see https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-core-changes-that-may-break-some-themes-components-april-12/186252?u=osama for details on how you can check if your themes/components are affected and what you need to do to fix them.
This commit also improves theme error handling in Discourse. We will now be able to catch errors that occur when theme initializers are run and prevent them from breaking the site and other themes/components.
Fixes `Rack::Lint::LintError: a header value must be a String, but the value of 'Retry-After' is a Integer`. (see: 14a236b4f0/lib/rack/lint.rb (L676))
I found it when I got flooded by those warning a while back in a test-related accident 😉 (ember CLI tests were hitting a local rails server at a fast rate)
browser-update script does not work correctly in some very old browsers
because the contents of <noscript> is not accessible in JavaScript.
For these browsers, the server can display the crawler page and add the
browser update notice.
Simply loading the browser-update script in the crawler view is not a
solution because that means all crawlers will also see it.
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.
This moves all the rate limiting for user second factor (based on `params[:second_factor_token]` existing) to the one place, which rate limits by IP and also by username if a user is found.
This ensures that users are only served cached content in their own language. This commit also refactors to make use of the `Discourse.cache` framework rather than direct redis access
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
This reverts commit e3de45359f.
We need to improve out strategy by adding a cache breaker with this change ... some assets on CDNs and clients may have incorrect CORS headers which can cause stuff to break.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
Error messages for exceeded rate limits and invalid parameters always used the English locale instead of the default locale or the current user's locale.
This allows administrators to stop automatic redirect to an external authenticator. It only takes effect when there is a single authentication method, and the site is login_required
There are two problems I'm trying to tackle here.
1. The site json is cached for anonymous users so readonly mode can be
cached for up to 30 minutes which makes it confusing.
2. We've already checked for readonly mode in the controller so having
to check for readonly mode again in `SiteSerializer` is adding an extra
Redis query on every request.
In some restricted setups all JS payloads need tight control.
This setting bans admins from making changes to JS on the site and
requires all themes be whitelisted to be used.
There are edge cases we still need to work through in this mode
hence this is still not supported in production and experimental.
Use an example like this to enable:
`DISCOURSE_WHITELISTED_THEME_REPOS="https://repo.com/repo.git,https://repo.com/repo2.git"`
By default this feature is not enabled and no changes are made.
One exception is that default theme id was missing a security check
this was added for correctness.
* FIX: add X-Robots-Tag header for check_xhr-covered GET actions, too
see https://meta.discourse.org/t/missing-x-robots-tag/152593/3 for context
* test: a spec making sure X-Robots-Tag header is present when needed
/groups path responds to anonymous requests and doesn't skip `check_xhr` method, so we can use it here.
Google insists on indexing pages so it can figure out if they
can be removed from the index.
see: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6332384?hl=en
This change ensures the we have special behavior for Googlebot
where we allow indexing, but block the actual indexing via
X-Robots-Tag
Expand SiteSetting.allow_index_in_robots_txt so it also adds a
noindex header if set to false.
This makes sure that nothing is indexed even if it somehow reaches
Google.
In development, if the ApplicationController is reloaded, then, previous
to this commit we were emitting an instance of the previous RenderEmpty
class, but rescuing from the reloaded instance.
Looking up RenderEmpty by its fully qualified name fixes this.
If for some reason an URL was create in this format:
```
?slug[]=foo&slug[]=bar
```
This would have create an exception of this kind:
```
NoMethodError (undefined method `tr' for ["foo", "bar"]:Array
Did you mean? try)
```
We like to stay as close as possible to latest with rubocop cause the cops
get better.
This update required some code changes, specifically the default is to avoid
explicit returns where implicit is done
Also this renames a few rules
- Show old and new email address during the process
- Ensure correct user is logged on when attempting to make email changes
- Support reloading a page during the email reset process without resubmit
of form
- Improve tests
- Fixed issue where redirect back to site was not linking correctly in
subfolder setups
Internal refactor of single action into 4 distinct actions that are simpler
to reason about.
This also removes the step that logs on an account after you confirm an
email change, since it is no longer needed which leaves us with safer
internals.
This left me no choice but to amend translations cause the old route was
removed.
This brings the behavior in line with native Discourse SSO. If login is required, and a user tries to visit the forum, they will be directed straight to the external login page without requiring any clicks.
Anonymous users are only possible if allow_anonymous_posting is true,
which means that 'user.is_anonymous' check implies that
allow_anonymous_posting is true.
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
Using popups is becoming increasingly rare. Full page redirects are already used on mobile, and for some providers. This commit removes all logic related to popup authentication, leaving only the full page redirect method.
For more info, see https://meta.discourse.org/t/do-we-need-popups-for-login/127988
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.
In development, we track the last requested theme id, and use that to refresh the correct stylesheet targets. The after_action hook runs on every request, but the preview_theme_id parameter is only sent on the initial HTML request. This commit ensures we only fetch the development theme_id on HTML requests
This can cause unbound CPU usage in some cases, and excessive logging in other cases. This commit moves redis readonly information into the local process, but maintains the DistributedCache for postgres readonly state.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

We had a missing formats: string on our render partial that caused logs to
spam when CSS files got 404s.
Due to magic discourse_public_exceptions.rb was actually returning the
correct 404 cause it switched format when rendering the error.
Historically due to https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-is-discourse-so-slow-on-android/8823
we decreased page sizes of both home page and topic page on android by half.
This was done on the server side and as a side effect and caused page sizes on android
to mismatch between Android and non Android.
Unfortunately about a year ago googlebot started pretending it is Android,
this cause Google to start indexing pages as what android would see. So
it saw double the amount of pages in the index as what exists on desktop.
This in turn caused double the amount of indexing work and a large amount
of broken links on long topics.
This fix removes all special behavior which is no longer needed due to
other performance work in Discourse including raw handlebars on home page
and virtual dom on topic pages.
I tested we do not need this on Blu Advance 5.0 it has 1.3 GHZ mediatec mt6580
This phone retails for around $50 USD.
If we decide long term that we want any hacks like this we will shift them
to the client side. It can just hold data in memory without rendering.
If a required param is missing return a 400 and show a message
displaying which param was missing. Added this to the application
controller so that we don't have to add this logic to every controller
action.

previously admin got a free pass and could set theme via cookie to anything
including themes that are not selectable
this refactor ensures that only "preview" gets a free pass, all the rest
goes through the same pipeline
Many security scanners like to inject NULL in inputs causing application
to exception out and return a 500
We now handle this exception and render a 400 status back
- allow to specify 410 vs 404 in Discourse::NotFound exception
- remove unused `permalink_redirect_or_not_found` which
- handle JS side links to topics via Discourse-Xhr-Redirect mechanism
* Phase 0 for user-selectable theme components
- Drops `key` column from the `themes` table
- Drops `theme_key` column from the `user_options` table
- Adds `theme_ids` (array of ints default []) column to the `user_options` table and migrates data from `theme_key` to the new column.
- Removes the `default_theme_key` site setting and adds `default_theme_id` instead.
- Replaces `theme_key` cookie with a new one called `theme_ids`
- no longer need Theme.settings_for_client
This refinement of previous fix moves the crawler blocking into
anonymous cache
This ensures we never poison the cache incorrectly when blocking crawlers
This updates tests to use latest rails 5 practice
and updates ALL dependencies that could be updated
Performance testing shows that performance has not regressed
if anything it is marginally faster now.
