Meta thread: https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-dismiss-unread-if-last-post-is-an-assign-or-whisper/131823/7
* when sending a whisper, the highest_staff_post_number is set
in the next_post_number method for a Topic, but the
highest_post_number is left alone. this leaves a situation
where highest_staff_post_number is > highest_post_number
* when TopicsBulkAction#dismiss_posts was run, it was only setting the topic_user
highest_seen_post_number using the highest_post_number from the topic, so if
the user was staff and the last post in a topic was a whisper
their highest seen number was not set, and the topic stayed unread
Found through testing that the bug wasn't to do with Assign/Unassign as they do not affect the post numbers, only whispering does.
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.
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
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
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
