Under exceptional situations the automatic draft feature can fail.
This new **hidden, default off** site setting
`backup_drafts_to_pm_length` will automatically backup any draft that is
saved by the system to a dedicated PM (originating from self)
The body of that PM will contain the text of the reply.
We can enable this feature strategically on sites exhibiting issues to
diagnose issues with the draft system and offer a recourse to users who
appear to lose drafts. We automatically checkpoint these drafts every 5
minutes forcing a new revision each 5 minutes so you can revert to old
content.
Longer term we are considering automatically enabling this kind of feature
for extremely long drafts where the risk is really high one could lose
days of writing.
This reverts commit ab74a50d85.
We really want to upgrade redis, but discovered some edge cases
around failover we need to test.
Holding off on the upgrade till a bit more testing happens
This feature amends it so instead of using one challenge and honeypot
statically per site we have a rotating honeypot and challenge value which
changes every hour.
This means you must grab a fresh copy of honeypot and challenge value once
an hour or account registration will be rejected.
We also now cycle the value of the challenge when after successful account
registration forcing an extra call to hp.json between account registrations
Client has been made aware of these changes.
Additionally this contains a JavaScript workaround for:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=987293
This is client side code that is specific to Chrome user agent and swaps
a PASSWORD type honeypot with a TEXT type honeypot.
When an admin changes the site setting slug_generation_method to
encoded, we weren't really encoding the slug, but just allowing non-ascii
characters in the slug (unicode).
That brings problems when a user posts a link to topic without the slug, as
our topic controller tries to redirect the user to the correct URL that contains
the slug with unicode characters. Having unicode in the Location header in a
response is a RFC violation and some browsers end up in a redirection loop.
Bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/125371?u=falco
This commit also checks if a site uses encoded slugs and clear all saved slugs
in the db so they can be regenerated using an onceoff job.
Our instance used for template rendering needs a lock to ensure there is
no race condition where rendering happens on 2 threads at the same time.
This can lead to local poisoning which can cause unexpected results in
emails
* [WIP] - default turbo spec env to test
* FEATURE: support for --fast-fail in bin/turbo_rspec
* fast-fail -> fail_fast to match rspec
* Moved thread killing outside of fail-fast check
* Removed failure_count incrementation from fast_fail_met
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.

Currently, if you try to run `./bin/turbo_rspec` you will got that error `There are pending migrations, run rake parallel:migrate`
Reason for that is that command is running in `development` mode which includes plugins migration files in ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrations_paths:
```
["db/migrate",
"/home/lis2/projects/discourse/plugins/discourse-details/db/migrate",
"/home/lis2/projects/discourse/plugins/discourse-details/db/post_migrate",
"/home/lis2/projects/discourse/plugins/discourse-local-dates/db/migrate",
"/home/lis2/projects/discourse/plugins/discourse-local-dates/db/post_migrate",
...
]
```
A workaround solution would be to run the command with the TEST environment like `RAILS_ENV=test ./bin/turbo_rspec`
I want to propose in this PR to override migration_paths to check only Discourse core migrations.
We preload to ensure as much memory as possible is reused from unicorn master
to various workers using copy-on-write (sidekiq, unicorn)
This migrates the preloading code into the Discourse module for easier
reuse and adds 3 notable preloading changes
1. We attempt to localize a string on each site, ensuring we warmup
the i18n
2. We preload all our templates (compiling .erb to class)
3. We warm-up our search tokenizer which uses cppjieba which is a large
memory consumer, this will only cause a warmup on CJK sites or sites with
the special site setting enabled.
Previous to this fix we were leaking methods on the internal action view
template class per render.
This caused email generation to be very low and a steady memory leak in the
application in sidekiq when sending out emails
The behavior change is new to Rails 6 so this fix does not need to be
backported into stable.
It was possible to add a category to more than one default group, e.g. "default categories muted" and "default categories watching first post".
The bug was caused by category validations inadvertently comparing strings and numbers.
Overwriting the same file with 'convert' is not always working as expected.
Adding a temporary file as the destination of the downsize makes this operation much more reliable.
Also switched to using (the more aggressive) 50% resize instead of halving the number of pixels.
* FEATURE: Adds an extra protection layer when decompressing files.
* Rename exporter/importer to zip importer. Update old locale
* Added a new composite class to decompress a file with multiple strategies
* Set max file size inside a site setting
* Ensure that file is deleted after compression
* Sanitize path and files before compressing/decompressing
Threadsafety
Since we use the same redis connection in multiple threads, a rogue
transaction in another thread can trample the connection state
(watched keys) that we need to acquire and release the lock properly.
This is fixed by preventing other threads from using the connection
when we are performing these actions.
Off-by-one error
A distributed mutex is now consistently determined to be expired if
the current time is strictly greater than the expire time.
Unwatch before transaction
Since the redis connection is used by so much of the code, it is
difficult to ensure that any watched keys have been cleared. In order
to defend against this rogue connection state, an unwatch has been
added before locking and unlocking.
Logging
Hopefully this log message is more clear.
I introduced DemonBase because I had got some conflict between `demon/base.rb` and `jobs/base.rb`, however, to not rename base class, it is possible to use regex on absolute path in Zeitwerk custom inflector.
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.
Adds 2 factor authentication method via second factor security keys over [web authn](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API).
Allows a user to authenticate a second factor on login, login-via-email, admin-login, and change password routes. Adds registration area within existing user second factor preferences to register multiple security keys. Supports both external (yubikey) and built-in (macOS/android fingerprint readers).
Currently, the topic is only validated for censored words and should be validated for blocked words as well.
Blocked word validation is now used by both Post and Topic. To avoid code duplication, I extracted blocked words validation code into separate Validator, and use it in both places.
The only downside is that even if the topic contains blocked words validation message is saying "Your post contains a word that's not allowed: tomato" but I think this is descriptive enough.
