What is the problem here?
In multiple controllers, we are accepting a `limit` params but do not
impose any upper bound on the values being accepted. Without an upper
bound, we may be allowing arbituary users from generating DB queries
which may end up exhausing the resources on the server.
What is the fix here?
A new `fetch_limit_from_params` helper method is introduced in
`ApplicationController` that can be used by controller actions to safely
get the limit from the params as a default limit and maximum limit has
to be set. When an invalid limit params is encountered, the server will
respond with the 400 response code.
We are seeing issues with the composer not being able to close due to the addition of a error message when rescuing from `Draft::OutOfSequence`. This PR will revert to the original solution implemented prior to https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21148 that just silently rescues from `Draft::OutOfSequence`
This PR adds the ability to destroy drafts for a passed user via the API. This was not possible before as this action was reserved for only your personal drafts.
If a user is an admin and calls the `#destroy` action from the API they are able to destroy a draft for a passed user. A user can be targeted by passed either their:
- username
- external_id (for SSO)
to the request.
In the case you attempt to destroy a non-personal draft and
- You are not an admin
- You do not access the `#destroy` action via the API
you will raise a `Discourse::InvalidAccess` (403) and will not succeed in destroying the draft.
We don't need it anymore. Actually, I removed using of it on the client side a long time ago, when I was working on improving blank page syndrome on user activity pages (see https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/14311).
This PR also removes some old resource strings that we don't use anymore. We have new strings for blank pages.
The previous excerpt was a simple truncated raw message. Starting with
this commit, the raw content of the draft is cooked and an excerpt is
extracted from it. The logic for extracting the excerpt mimics the the
`ExcerptParser` class, but does not implement all functionality, being
a much simpler implementation.
The two draft controllers have been merged into one and the /draft.json
route has been changed to /drafts.json to be consistent with the other
route names.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
* drafts in user profile: only show to user herself (not to admins), use avatar replying to (instead of topic OP), add keyboard shortcut for drafts, simplify display labels
* use JSON when testing Draft.stream
* add drafts.json endpoint, user profile tab with drafts stream
* improve drafts stream display in user profile
* truncate excerpts in drafts list, better handling for resume draft action
* improve draft stream SQL query, add rspec tests
* if composer is open, quietly close it when user opens another draft from drafts stream; load PM draft only when user is in /u/username/messages (instead of /u/username)
* cleanup
* linting fixes
* apply prettier styling to modified files
* add client tests for drafts, includes a fixture for drafts.json
* improvements to code following review
* refresh drafts route when user deletes a draft open in the composer while being in the drafts route; minor prettier scss fix
* added more spec tests, deleted an acceptance test for removing drafts that was too finicky, formatting and code style fixes, added appEvent for draft:destroyed
* prettier, eslint fixes
* use "username_lower" from users table, added error handling for rejected promises
* adds guardian spec for can_see_drafts, adds improvements following code review
* move DraftsController spec to its own file
* fix failing drafts qunit test, use getOwner instead of deprecated this.container
* limit test fixture for draft.json testing to new_topic request only
