The XML parsing of SVGs is done whenever the cache expires or on the
first load after a reboot. In one of our production instance, parsing
ranges from 30ms to 70ms which is not ideal. Instead, we've decided to
make a small memory trade off here by memoizing the core SVGs once on
boot to avoid parsing of the SVG files during the duration of a request.
The memozied hash will take up 57440 bytes or 0.05744 megabytes in size.
In production, each Unicorn child process will currently hold the
default locale in memory on first load. Instead, we should preload it in
the Unicorn master process so that the memory is immediately shared when
forking.
Also, the translations are only memoized on first load now and is
adding considerable overhead to the first few requests after a fresh
boot.
This commit makes a few changes to improve boot time in development environments. It will have no effect on production boot times.
- Skip the SchemaCache warmup. In development mode, the SchemaCache is refreshed every time there is a code change, so warmup is of limited use.
- Skip warming up PrettyText. This adds ~2s to each web worker's boot time. The vast majority of requests do not use PrettyText, so it is more efficient to defer its warmup until it's needed
- Skip the intentional 1 second pause during Unicorn worker forking. The comment (which also exists in Unicorn's documentation) suggests this works around a Unix signal handling bug, but I haven't been able to locate any more information. Skipping it in dev will significantly speed up boot. If we start to see issues, we can revert this change.
On my machine, this improves `/bin/unicorn` boot time from >10s to ~4s
* 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.

The first argument to `Open3.capture3` can be an environment variable hash. In this case, we need to insert the `timeout` command after the env hash.
Previously certain images may lead to convert / identify to run for unreasonable
amounts of time
This adds a maximum amount of time these commands can run prior to forcing
them to stop
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.
> URI(nil)
ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
- Bump rails_failover for new per-backend callback feature
- If the master backend fails over, make all sites readonly. And vice-versa for fallback
- If a single backend fails over, make that individual site readonly. And vice-versa for fallback
- When a single backend fails, also check connection to the master backend
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.
In the near future, we will be swtiching to PG headlines to generate the
search blurb. As such, we need to replace audio and video links in the
raw data used for headline generation. This also means that we avoid
replacing links each time we need to generate the blurb.
We have the `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment on all our
files. This means all string literals are frozen. There is no need
to call #freeze on any literals.
For files with `# frozen_string_literal: true`
```
puts %w{a b}[0].frozen?
=> true
puts "hi".frozen?
=> true
puts "a #{1} b".frozen?
=> true
puts ("a " + "b").frozen?
=> false
puts (-("a " + "b")).frozen?
=> true
```

* Remove some `.es6` from comments where it does not matter
* Use a post processor for transpilation
This will allow us to eventually use the directory structure to
transpile rather than the extension.
* FIX: Some errors and clean up in confirm-new-email
It would throw an error if the webauthn element wasn't present.
Also I changed things so that no-module is not explicitly
referenced.
* Remove `no-module`
Instead we allow a magic comment: `// discourse-skip-module` to prevent
the asset pipeline from creating a module.
* DEV: Enable babel transpilation based on directory
If it's in `app/assets/javascripts/dicourse` it will be transpiled
even without the `.es6` extension.
* REFACTOR: Remove Tilt/ES6ModuleTranspiler
On startup, (including when starting a rails console) we manipule a
collection of plugin files. Writing these files is done in multiple
observable steps, which presents opportunities for race conditions and
causes temporary corruption.
This commit uses the write, fsync and rename trick to atomically
overwrite these files instead, but reads them first to avoid unnecessary
writes.
c457d3bf was a previous attempt to fix the same problem.
Previously we had many places in the app that called `hostname` to get
hostname of a server. This commit replaces the pattern in 2 ways
1. We cache the result in `Discourse.os_hostname` so it is only ever called once
2. We prefer to use Socket.gethostname which avoids making a shell command
This improves performance as we are not spawning hostname processes throughout
the app lifetime
Discourse.cache is a more consistent method to use and offers clean fallback
if you are skipping redis
This is part of a larger change that both optimizes Discoruse.cache and omits
use of setex on $redis in favor of consistently using discourse cache
Bench does reveal that use of Rails.cache and Discourse.cache is 1.25x slower
than redis.setex / get so a re-implementation will follow prior to porting
We were having issues in development mode where the JS code had errors due to a bad cache. When starting a server in development mode in bin/unicorn we now get the git sha of the discourse HEAD and get a git sha of all plugins, and store them in a file. If the sha has changed then we delete tmp/cache to refresh the assets cache.
