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.
There was a bug with changing timestamps using the topic wrench button. Under some circumstances, a topic was disappearing from the top of the latest tab after changing timestamps. Steps to reproduce:
- Choose a topic on the latest tab (the topic should be created some time ago, but has recent posts)
- Change topic timestamps (for example, move them one day forward):
- Go back to the latest tab and see that topic has disappeared.
This PR fixes this. We were setting topic.bumped_at to the timestamp user specified on the modal. This is incorrect. Instead, we should be setting topic.bumped_at to the created_at timestamp of the last regular (not a whisper and so on) post on the topic.
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
