This commit contains two changes to how our site setting
keyword system works:
1. Crowdin, our translation provider, does not support YAML lists,
so we are changing site setting keywords in server.en.yml to
be pipe-separated (|)
2. It's unclear to translators what they are supposed to do with
aliases of site settings where the name has changed, e.g.
min_trust_level_for_here_mention. Instead of getting these as
keywords from the yml file, we can discern these from
SiteSettings::DeprecatedSettings automatically, and still use
them for client-side search
These changes should help improve the situation for translators.
The `categories_only_optimized` category page style has been introduced
in commit d37a0d401c. This commit makes
sure that style is enforced for users who can see over 1000 categories
in order to keep `/categories` page functional.
This commit removes the feature flag for the new /about page, enabling it for all sites, and removes the code for old the /about page.
Internal topic: t/140413.
We decided to make contracts immutable once their validations have run.
Indeed, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to modify a contract value
outside the contract itself.
If processing is needed, then it should happen inside the contract
itself.

Adds a new site setting and corresponding user preference
to disable smart lists. By default they are enabled, because
this is a better experience for most users. A small number of
users would prefer to not have this enabled.
Smart lists automatically append new items to each
list started in the composer when enter is pressed. If
enter is pressed on an empty list item, it is cleared.
This setting will be removed when the new composer is complete.
This patch replaces the parameters provided to a service through
`params` by the contract object.
That way, it allows better consistency when accessing input params. For
example, if you have a service without a contract, to access a
parameter, you need to use `params[:my_parameter]`. But with a contract,
you do this through `contract.my_parameter`. Now, with this patch,
you’ll be able to access it through `params.my_parameter` or
`params[:my_parameter]`.
Some methods have been added to the contract object to better mimic a
Hash. That way, when accessing/using `params`, you don’t have to think
too much about it:
- `params.my_key` is also accessible through `params[:my_key]`.
- `params.my_key = value` can also be done through `params[:my_key] =
value`.
- `#slice` and `#merge` are available.
- `#to_hash` has been implemented, so the contract object will be
automatically cast as a hash by Ruby depending on the context. For
example, with an AR model, you can do this: `user.update(**params)`.
Currently in services, we don’t make a distinction between input
parameters, options and dependencies.
This can lead to user input modifying the service behavior, whereas it
was not the developer intention.
This patch addresses the issue by changing how data is provided to
services:
- `params` is now used to hold all data coming from outside (typically
user input from a controller) and a contract will take its values from
`params`.
- `options` is a new key to provide options to a service. This typically
allows changing a service behavior at runtime. It is, of course,
totally optional.
- `dependencies` is actually anything else provided to the service (like
`guardian`) and available directly from the context object.
The `service_params` helper in controllers has been updated to reflect
those changes, so most of the existing services didn’t need specific
changes.
The options block has the same DSL as contracts, as it’s also based on
`ActiveModel`. There aren’t any validations, though. Here’s an example:
```ruby
options do
attribute :allow_changing_hidden, :boolean, default: false
end
```
And here’s an example of how to call a service with the new keys:
```ruby
MyService.call(params: { key1: value1, … }, options: { my_option: true }, guardian:, …)
```
Bug introduced in this PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/29244
When the experiment toggle button was introduced, new features did not look right when the toggle button was not available.
In addition, the plugin name can be an empty string. In that case, information about new features should be displayed.
Currently, when calling a service with its block form, a `#result`
method is automatically created on the caller object. Even if it never
clashed so far, this could happen.
This patch removes that method, and instead use a more classical way of
doing things: the result object is now provided as an argument to the
main block. This means if we need to access the result object in an
outcome block, it will be done like this from now on:
```ruby
MyService.call(params) do |result|
on_success do
# do something with the result object
do_something(result)
end
end
```
In the same vein, this patch introduces the ability to match keys from
the result object in the outcome blocks, like we already do with step
definitions in a service. For example:
```ruby
on_success do |model:, contract:|
do_something(model, contract)
end
```
Instead of
```ruby
on_success do
do_something(result.model, result.contract)
end
```
Database dumps sometimes reference functions in the `discourse_functions` schema. It's possible that some of these functions have been dropped in a newer version of Discourse. In that case, restoring an older backup will fail with a `ERROR: function discourse_functions.something_something() does not exist` error. The restore functionality contains a workaround for that problem, but it didn't work with functions created in plugin migrations.
This commit adds support for temporarily creating missing `discourse_functions` from plugins. And it adds a simple check if the DB migration file even contains the required `DROPPED_TABLES` or `DROPPED_COLUMNS` constant. We don't need to create an instance of the DB migration class unless one of those constants is used. This makes the restore slightly faster and works around a problem with migrations that execute without `up` or `down` methods (e.g. `BackfillChatChannelAndThreadLastMessageIdsPostMigrate`).
Toggle the button to enable the experimental site setting from "What's new" announcement.
The toggle button is displayed when:
- site setting exists and is boolean;

- Add concurrency when running on multisite clusters (default 10, configurable via THEME_UPDATE_CONCURRENCY env)

before the dev-xp was clunky, we had to create a migration file in core and
move it to the plugin.
Now we automated this process, we still create the migration file in core
but the rake task will move it to the plugin.
the usage is:
```
rake plugin:generate_migration[plugin_name,migration_name,migration_args]
rake plugin:generate_migration[discourse-automation,add_group_id_to_automation_rule,"group_id:integer"]
```
* DEV: change rake to be a generator for plugin migrations
* DEV: trying to add extra class option to migration generator
* DEV: revert to have only `plugin_migration_generator`
* DEV: remove rake task for plugin migration creation
* DEV: remove migration_generator.rb
* DEV: remove if because options with `plugin_name` will always be true

This patch improves the custom `array` type available in contracts.
It’s now able to split strings on `|` on top of `,`, and to be more
consistent, it also tries to cast the resulting items to integers.
Theme modifiers can now be defined as theme settings, this allows for
site operators to override behavior of theme modifiers.
New syntax is:
```
{
...
"modifiers": {
"modifier_name": {
"type": "setting",
"value": "setting_name"
}
}
}
```
This also introduces a new theme modifier for serialize_post_user_badges. Name of badge must match the name of the badge in the badges table. The client-side is updated to load this new data from the post-stream serializer.

Constants should always be only assigned once. The logical OR assignment
of a constant is a relic of the past before we used zeitwerk for
autoloading and had bugs where a file could be loaded twice resulting in
constant redefinition warnings.

- also deletes backup codes (lingering backup codes break login flow entirely)
* Add spec for rake task to disable 2FA for a user
Currently, when the MessageFormat compiler fails on some translations,
we just have the raw output from the compiler in the logs and that’s not
always very helpful.
Now, when there is an error, we iterate over the translation keys and
try to compile them one by one. When we detect one that is failing, it’s
added to a list that is now outputted in the logs. That way, it’s easier
to know which keys are not properly translated, and the problems can be
addressed quicker.
---
The previous implementation of this patch had a bug: it wasn’t handling
locales with country/region code properly. So instead of iterating over
the problematic keys, it was raising an error.
If a plugin's JS fails to load for some reason, most commonly
ad blockers, the entire admin interface would break. This is because
we are adding links to the admin routes for plugins that define
them in the sidebar.
We have a fix for this already in the plugin list which shows a warning
to the admin. This fix just prevents the broken link from rendering
in the sidebar if the route is not valid.

In our production environment, we have been seeing Sidekiq processes
getting stuck randomly when a USR1 signal is sent to the Unicorn master
process. We have not been able to identify the root cause of why the
Sidekiq process gets stuck. We however noticed that when the Unicorn
master process receives a USR1 signal, it will reopen the logs for the
Unicorn master process first before sending a USR1 signal for the
Unicorn worker processes to reopen the logs. We figured that we should
do the same for the Sidekiq process as well when a USR1 signal.
In this commit, we introduce an arbitrary delay of 1 second before we
the Sidekiq process reopens its log files so as to allow enough time for the Unicorn
master to finish reopening it logs first.
We also do not send reopen logs for the Sidekiq process if the `DISCOURSE_LOG_SIDEKIQ`
env is not present because there is no need to reopen any logs.
There have been too many flaky tests as a result of leaking state in
Redis so it is easier to resolve them by ensuring we flush Redis'
database.
Locally on my machine, calling `Discourse.redis.flushdb` takes around
0.1ms which means this change will have very little impact on test
runtimes.
While using `OpenStruct` is nice, it’s generally not a very good idea as
it usually leads to performance problems.
The `OpenStruct` source code even says basically to avoid it.
Since the context object is crucial in our services, this patch replaces
`OpenStruct` with a custom implementation instead.
When a post has some replies, and the user click on the button to show them, we would load ALL the replies. This could lead to DoS if there were a very large number of replies.

My theory is that there were nil entries (that we were filtering out) that then changed and we weren't resetting them properly.

Currently in services, the `contract` step is only used to define where
the contract will be called in the execution flow. Then, a `Contract`
class has to be defined with validations in it.
This patch allows the `contract` step to take a block containing
validations, attributes, etc. directly. No need to then open a
`Contract` class later in the service.
It also has a nice side effect, as it’s now easy to define multiples
contracts inside the same service. Before, we had the `class_name:`
option, but it wasn’t really useful as you had to redefine a complete
new contract class.
Now, when using a name for the contract other than `default`, a new
contract will be created automatically using the provided name.
Example:
```ruby
contract(:user) do
attribute :user_id, :integer
validates :user_id, presence: true
end
```
This will create a `UserContract` class and use it, also putting the
resulting contract in `context[:user_contract]`.
Previously admins could still click on topics when `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` was set
This change improves the block so admins without permission will not be allowed to click through till they add themselves to appropriate groups
Keep in mind this setting is a quality of life setting and not a SECURITY
setting, admins have an infinite way of bypassing visiblity limits
This commit introduces a feature that allows an admin to delete a user's
associated account. After deletion, a log will be recorded in staff
actions.
ref=t/136675
With the current implementation, a service step can be written as:
```ruby
def my_step(a_default_value: 2)
…
end
```
That’s a pattern we want to avoid as default values (if needed) should
be probably defined in a contract.
This patch makes a service raise an exception if a default value is
encountered.
Currently, when certain search terms are provided, this can lead to
`Search.need_segmenting?` raising an error because it makes `URI#path`
to return `nil` instead of a string.
This patch forces a cast to string so it won’t raise anymore.
At a point we split FileStore#download into two methods, one which returns nil (#download) and one which raises an exception (#download!) if there's a download error.
When we did this we added a deprecation warning to the #download method.
It has now been over a year and I have checked all relevant internal cases, so I think it's about time we remove this warning.
This will help to enforce a consistent pattern for creating service
actions.
This patch also namespaces actions and policies, making everything
related to a service available directly in
`app/services/<concept-name>`, making things more consistent at that
level too.
In TopicController, in addition to ensure_can_move_posts!, we also
checked if the topic is private message in this line:
```ruby
raise Discourse::InvalidAccess if params[:archetype] == "private_message" && !guardian.is_staff?
```
However, this was not present in `guardian.can_move_posts?`. As a result,
the frontend topic view got an incorrect serialized result, thinking
that TL4 could move the private message post. In fact, once they tried
to move it, they got the `InvalidAccess` error message.
This commit fixes that TL4 will no longer sees the "move to" option in
the "select post" panel for a private message.
The user directory (`/u`) excludes inactive and silenced users from the list, so for the sake parity, it makes sense to also exclude those users from the /about page stats.

The user option 'hide_profile_and_presence' is necessary to figure out
if the user status has to be displayed or not. In order to avoid N+1s
generated by `include_status?` method, both `user_status` and
`user_option` relations have to be included.
`track_sql_queries` only returned queries that were executed by
ActiveRecord. All queries executed through DB.exec, DB.query and others
were not returned.
We were running into errors running `ember build` on machines with high
CPU counts. It was then noted that `thread-loader`, which embroider uses, defaults to spinning
up x workers where x is number of physical CPU cores - 1. That is
probably too much so we set out to find out an optimial count to set for
the `JOBS` env which embroider will use to set the number of
`thread-loader` workers.
I first built an image using the following Dockerfile.
```
FROM discourse/base:release
RUN cd /var/www/discourse && sudo -EH -u discourse bundle exec rake plugin:install_all_official
RUN cd /var/www/discourse && sudo -EH -u discourse bundle exec rake assets:precompile:prereqs
```
I then ran the following command on my M3 Max Macbook Pro that has 14
phyisal CPU cores.
```
for j in 1 2 4 8 14; do echo "JOBS=$j"; time docker run --rm -it -e JOBS=$j test:latest /bin/bash -c "su discourse -c 'cd /var/www/discourse && bundle exec rake assets:precompile:build'"; done
```
These are the results I got:
```
JOBS=1 0.04s user 0.03s system 0% cpu 1:01.92 total
JOBS=2 0.04s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 42.605 total
JOBS=4 0.04s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 37.012 total
JOBS=8 0.04s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 35.199 total
JOBs=14 0.04s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 37.941 total
```
We think JOBS=2 is a good default when the `JOBS` env has not been set.
Anything above just consumes more resources for little benefit.
Previously we were opening the file handles, then putting them in a queue for upload. If that queue grows too large, we can hit a maximum open files limit.
This commit opens the file handle 'just in time', so the maximum number of open handles is equal to the upload concurrency (20).
This upgrade is designed to be fully backwards-compatible. Any icon names which have changed will be automatically remapped to the new name. For now, this will happen silently. In future, once core & official themes/plugins have been updated, we will start raising deprecation errors to help theme/plugin authors update their code.

We currently have some occurrences of ____FaradayFormatter for OAuth logs. This commit creates a generic formatter so that any new authenticators can use it.
This patch removes the `with_service` helper from the code base.
Instead, we can pass a block with actions directly to the `.call` method
of a service.
This simplifies how to use services:
- use `.call` without a block to run the service and get its result
object.
- use `.call` with a block of actions to run the service and execute
arbitrary code depending on the service outcome.
It also means a service is now “self-contained” and can be used anywhere
without having to include a helper or whatever.
We need to start printing deprecation notices when the `show_in_ui` argument is used because it works only for the old about page which will be removed soon. For the new about page, we've introduced a new API `addAboutPageActivity` which is more flexible than a true/false argument on the server side.

Currently, when the default locale is Japanese, the search for a topic
using its URL, path or ID doesn’t work as expected. It will either
return wrong results or no result at all.
The problem lies with how we process the provided terms in Japanese
mode. For example, if `http://localhost/t/-/55` is provided, currently
this will result in `http localhost t 5 5` to be searched for.
This patch addresses the issue by checking whether the provided term
needs segmenting. If the provided term is a number, or a path or a full
URL, then it doesn’t need segmenting. When that happens we skip the
processing we normally apply for Japanese, making the search return the
expected results.
A new setting attribute is used to define the areas (separated by `|`).

The change introduced above made it so the expired
bookmark reminders were cleared when using the bulk
action menu for bookmarks. However this also affected
clearing reminders for bookmarks when sending notifications.
When clearing bookmark reminders after sending notifications,
we take into account the auto delete preference:
* never - The bookmark `reminder_at` date should not be cleared,
and the bookmark is kept.
* clear_reminder - The bookmark `reminder_at` date is cleared and
the bookmark is kept
The `never` option made it so "expired" bookmark reminder show
on the user's bookmark list.
This commit fixes the change from the other commit and only
forces clearing of `reminder_at` if using the bookmark bulk
action service.
This commit improves `TopicsController#show` to not load suggested and
related topics unless it is the last page of the topic's view.
Previously, we avoided loading suggested and related topics by the use
of conditionals in the `TopicViewSerializer` to avoid calling
`TopicView#suggested_topics` and `TopicView#related_topics`. However,
this pattern is not reliable as the methods can still be called from
other spots in the code base. Instead, we ensure that
`TopicView#include_suggested` and `TopicView#include_related` is set
correctly on the instance of `TopicView` which ensures that for the
given instance, `TopicView#suggested_topics` and
`TopicView#related_topics` will be a noop.

This commit implements 2 new metrics/stats in the /about page for the _estimated_ numbers of unique visitors from the EU and the rest of the world. This new feature is currently off by default, but it can be enabled by turning on the hidden `display_eu_visitor_stats` site settings via the rails console.
There are a number of assumptions that we're making here in order to estimate the number of unique visitors, specifically:
1. we're assuming that the average of page views per anonymous visitor is similar to the average number of page views that a logged-in visitor makes, and
2. we're assuming that the ratio of logged in visitors from the EU is similar to the ratio of anonymous visitors from the EU
Discourse keeps track of the number of both logged-in and anonymous page views, and also the number of unique logged-in visitors and where they're from. So with those numbers and the assumptions above, we can estimate the number of unique anonymous visitors from the EU and the rest of the world.

This patch allows using an AR relation as a model in services without
fetching associated records. It will just check if the relation is empty
