A lot of work has been put in the select kits used for selecting
categories: CategorySelector, CategoryChooser, CategoryDrop, however
they still do not work as expected when these selectors already have
values set, because the category were still looked up in the list of
categories stored on the client-side Categrories.list().
This PR fixes that by looking up the categories when the selector is
initialized. This required altering the /categories/find.json endpoint
to accept a list of IDs that need to be looked up. The API is called
using Category.asyncFindByIds on the client-side.
CategorySelector was also updated to receive a list of category IDs as
attribute, instead of the list of categories, because the list of
categories may have not been loaded.
During this development, I noticed that SiteCategorySerializer did not
serializer all fields (such as permission and notification_level)
which are not a property of category, but a property of the relationship
between users and categories. To make this more efficient, the
preload_user_fields! method was implemented that can be used to
preload these attributes for a user and a list of categories.
When rebaking and in various other places for posts, we
run through the uploads and call `update_secure_status` on
each of them.
However, if the secure status didn't change, we were still
calling S3 to change the ACL, which would have been a noop
in many cases and takes ~1 second per call, slowing things
down a lot.
Also, we didn't account for the s3_acls_enabled site setting
being false here, and in the specs doing an assertion
that `Discourse.store.update_ACL` is not called doesn't
work; `Discourse.store` isn't a singleton, it re-initializes
`FileStore::S3Store.new` every single time.
Why this change?
The tags modal loads more tags via infinite loading based on when the last tag in the
given page appears in the viewport for the user. When it comes in to
view, a request is then triggered to fetch additional tags. To ensure
that we are only loading a single page of tags each time the modal is
opened, we previously set a max height on the modal's body to ensure
that the last tag which appears in the modal will be outside of the view
port in the initial load. However, this has regressed recently due to
unknown reasons and resulted in multiple pages of tags being loaded
immediately from the server as the modal's height was not restricted.
This regression was caught by an existing test but was unfortunately
determined as flaky.
What does this change do?
This change restores the max height on the edit navigation menu tags
modal on dekstop.
I took the wrong approach here, need to rethink.

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
The modified test used to be the same as the test above. The bad test
was introduced in commit 77d4c4d8dc,
during a refactoring.
This was not a serious problem because the same behavior was still
tested partially by the other tests below.
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.
Why was the problem?
ActiveRecord's query cache for the connection pool wasn't disabled after the
`with a fake provider runs 'other_phase' for enabled auth methods` test
in `omniauth_callbacks_controller_spec.rb` was run. This was because the
Rack response body in `FakeAuthenticator::Strategy::other_phase` did not
adhere to the expected Rack body format which is "typically an Array of
String instances". Because this expectation was broken, it cascaded the
problem down where it resulted in the ActiveRecord's query cache for the
connection pool not being disabled as it normally should when the
response body is closed.
When the query cache is left enabled, common assertions pattern in RSpec
like `expect { something }.to change { Group.count }` will fail since
the query cache is enabled and the call first call to `Group.count` will
cache the result to be reused later on.
To see the bug in action, one can run the following command:
`bundle exec rspec --seed 44747
spec/requests/omniauth_callbacks_controller_spec.rb:1150
spec/models/group_spec.rb:283`

* 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.
The category drop was rerendered after every category async change
because it updated the categories list. This is not necessary and
categories can be referenced indirectly by ID instead.
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.

Why this change?
Asserting against records of the database in system tests can be flaky
because those assertions can run against the database before the server
has actually saved the necessary changes to the database.
What does this change do?
While the assertion is not ideal, we are working around this as a
temporary fix by using `try_until_success` which will retry the
assertion up till the default capybara timeout.
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.
When sending SMTP for group SMTP functionality, we
are running into timeouts for both read and open
when sending mail occassionally, which can cause issues
like the email only being sent to _some_ of the recipients
or to fail altogether.
The defaults of 5s are too low, so bumping them up to
the defaults of the `net-smtp` gem.
When we check upload security, one of the checks is to
run `access_control_post.with_secure_uploads?`. The problem
here is that the `topic` for the post could be deleted,
which would make the check return `nil` sometimes instead
of false because of safe navigation. We just need to be
more explicit.
