This updates tests to use latest rails 5 practice
and updates ALL dependencies that could be updated
Performance testing shows that performance has not regressed
if anything it is marginally faster now.
This refactors handling of s3 so it can be specified via GlobalSetting
This means that in a multisite environment you can configure s3 uploads
without actual sites knowing credentials in s3
It is a critical setting for situations where assets are mirrored to s3.
This reduces the number of scans that the db has to do in the query
to fetch orphan uploads. Futheremore, we were not batching our
records which bloats memory.
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.
FIX: keep the "uploading..." indicator until the server replies via the MessageBus
FIX: text was disapearing when uploading an avatar
PERF: always use a region for S3 (defaults to 'us-east-1')
FEATURE: ApplyCDN middleware when using S3
FIX: use the same pattern to store files on S3 and locally
PERF: keep a local cache of uploads when generating thumbnails
FEATURE: migrate_to_s3 rake task
