Sometimes administrators want to permanently delete posts and topics
from the database. To make sure that this is done for a good reasons,
administrators can do this only after one minute has passed since the
post was deleted or immediately if another administrator does it.
After deleting a category, we should soft-delete the category definition topic instead of hard deleting it. Else it causes issues while doing the user merge action if the source user has an orphan post that belongs to the deleted topic.
#b19dcac2 improved the serializer so it sends default notification
levels to users to work around cases where a category edit would
would result in clients being left with invalid notification state
Unfortunately this did not address the root issue.
When we edit categories we publish state to multiple users this
means that the serializer is executed unscoped with no user.
The client already handles this case per:
dcad720a4c/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/models/site.js (L119-L119)
If a property is not shipped to it, it will leave it alone on the
existing category.
This fix ensures that these wide category info updates do not
include notification state to avoid corruption of local state.
Previously, categories without any topics were being excluded from the UPDATE query. This means the counter gets stuck, and the category cannot be deleted. This change ensures that the counters get correctly set to zero.
Previously people were not consistent about mocking which left internals in
a fragile state when running subfolder specs.
This introduces a simple helper `set_subfolder` which you can use to set
the subfolder for the spec. It takes care of proper configuration of subfolder
and teardown.
```
# usage
set_subfolder "/my_amazing_subfolder"
```
You should no longer stub base_uri or global_settings
When a category has a subcategory, we ensure that no one who can see the
subcategory cannot see the parent. However, we don't take into account
the fact that, when no CategoryGroups exist, the default is that
everyone has full permissions.
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.

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.
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.
Previously users were still allowed to create topic via API even if
uncategorized was disabled.
Not 100% happy with all this special casing, but I guess we have to do
something.
This also splits up a mega spec now that we have fab! into a more easy to
understand structure (I hope)
- Correct create_category_definition to skip validations and use a
transaction, no longer able to create corrupt topics
- ensure_consistency now clears topic_id if pointing at deleted or missing
topic_id
- Stop creating category definition topics for uncategorized
* 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
Minor fixes to add Rails 6 support to Discourse, we now will boot
with RAILS_MASTER=1, all specs pass
Only one tiny deprecation left
Largest change was the way ActiveModel:Errors changed interface a
bit but there is a simple backwards compat way of working it
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
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
- We spread out bumping through the day, if you are bumping
4 topics then a topic will be bumped every 6 hours
- We add a small, bumping action at the bottom of the post to
denote a topic got bumped
### navigate_to_first_post_after_read setting for categories
When enabled on categories logged on users will return to OP after
reading the entire category. (useful for documentation categories)
### num_auto_bump_daily
Set a number of topics that will automatically bump daily on a category.
- Every 15 minutes we will check if any category has this setting
- Categories with the setting are shuffled
- We exclude pinned, closed, category description and archived topics
- Maximum of 1 topic for the list of categories is bumped till limit reached per category
- We always try to bump oldest first
- Limit is elastic using a RateLimiter that ensures that we only bump N per day
Also some minor organisation on category settings
Froze strings on category.rb
This feature can be enabled by choosing a destination for the
`shared drafts category` site setting.
* Staff members can create shared drafts, choosing a destination
category for the topic when it is published.
* Shared Drafts can be viewed in their category, or above the
topic list for the destination category where it will end up.
* When the shared draft is ready, it can be published to the
appropriate category by clicking a button on the topic view.
* When published, Drafts change their timestamps to the current
time, and any edits to the original post are removed.
