The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
If a user was granted a trust level, joined a group that granted a trust
level and left the group, the trust level was reset. This commit tries
to restore the last known trust level before joining the group by
looking into staff logs.
This commit also migrates old :change_trust_level user history records
to use previous_value and new_value fields.
Refactors `TrustLevel` and moves translations from server to client
Additional changes:
* "staff" and "admin" wasn't translatable in site settings
* it replaces a concatenated string with a translation
* uses translation for trust levels in users_by_trust_level report
* adds a DB migration to rename keys of translation overrides affected by this commit
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.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
* rename `User#password_required` to `User#password_required!`
* emails with "i" @ something are a special case as well
* get rid of `self.` and returns where possible
* prefer "unless a" instead of "if !a"
* `unread_notifications` without manually iterating
* introduce `User#moderator?`
* introduce `TrustLevel#valid_key?`, `TrustLevel#compare`, and
`TrustLevel#level_key`
