Following a recent refactor, some methods from `FlagSettings` have been
renamed (`custom_types` -> `additional_message_types`). The
`PostActionType` model was using `custom_types` but when the renaming
was done, it was renamed to `with_additional_message` instead of
`additional_message_types`, which under the right circumstances will
raise an error.
Admin can create up to 50 custom flags. It is limited for performance reasons.
When the limit is reached "Add button" is disabled and backend is protected by guardian.
This commit patches `Net::HTTP` to reduce the default timeouts of 60
seconds when we are processing a request. There are certain routes in
Discourse which makes external requests and if the proper timeouts are
not set, we risk having the Unicorn master process force restarting the
Unicorn workers once the `30` seconds timeout is reached. This can
potentially become a vector for DoS attacks and this commit is aimed at
reducing the risk here.
We support a low-level construct called "inline checks", which you can use to register a problem ad-hoc from within application code.
Problems registered by inline checks never show up in the admin dashboard, this is because when loading the dashboard, we run all realtime checks and look for problems. Because of an oversight, we considered inline checks to be "realtime", causing them to be run and clear their problem status.
To fix this, we don't consider inline checks to be realtime, to prevent them from running when loading the admin dashboard.
This change is mainly a refactor of the desktop notifications service to improve readability and have standardised values for tracking state for current user in regards to the Notification API and Push API.
Also improves readability when handling push notification jobs, especially in scenarios where the push_notification_time_window_mins site setting is set to 0, which will allow sending push notifications instantly.
We were writing theme-transpiler JS files to the filesystem on a per-process basis, and then immediately reading them back in. Plus, there was no cleanup mechanism, so the tmp directory would grow indefinitely.
This commit refactors things so that the `build.js` script outputs the theme-transpiler source to stdout. That way, we can read it directly into the process, and then into mini-racer, without needing to go via the filesystem. No cleanup required!
In production, the theme-transpiler is still cached in a file during `assets:precompile`
In the formkit conversion in 2ca06ba236
we missed setting a type for the UppyImageUploader for badges. Also,
we were not passing down the `image_url` as form data, so when we used
`data.image` for that field the badge was not updating in the UI after
page loads and the image URL was not loading for preview.

Before this commit, running `rspec --seed 22953 --format documentation spec/requests/admin/site_texts_controller_spec.rb:191 spec/lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator_spec.rb:109` will fail.
Setting `I18n.config.available_locales` is equivalent to hard coding the
locales for the entire process. It should not be set so that `I18n` will
fallback to `backend.locales`.
Sometimes the backtrace is quite big for failing specs, this env var
(RSPEC_EXCLUDE_NOISE_IN_BACKTRACE) can be set to
1 to remove backtrace from anything but spec or application code in
rspec. This makes it easier to see where the actual failure is
coming from, most of the time all the gem paths are noise.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
When `SiteSetting.review_every_post` is true and the category `require_topic_approval` system creates two reviewable items.
1. Firstly, because the category needs approval, the `ReviewableQueuePost` record` is created - at this stage, no topic is created.
2. Admin is approving the review. The topic and first post are created.
3. Because `review_every_post` is true `queue_for_review_if_possible` callback is evaluated and `ReviewablePost` is created.
4. Then `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the newly generated topic and post.
At the beginning, we were thinking about hooking to those guards:
```
def self.queue_for_review_if_possible(post, created_or_edited_by)
return unless SiteSetting.review_every_post
return if post.post_type != Post.types[:regular] || post.topic.private_message?
return if Reviewable.pending.where(target: post).exists?
...
```
And add something like
```
return if Reviewable.approved.where(target: post).exists?
```
However, because the callback happens in point 3. before the `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the `Topic`, it was not possible.
Therefore, when `ReviewableQueuePost` is creating a `Topic`, a new option called `:reviewed_queued_post` is passed to `PostCreator` to avoid creating a second `Reviewable`.
Currently, descriptions for flag types aren’t interpolated, returning
`%{base_path}` in their string, for example. This breaks the navigation
on the sites.
The behavior changed probably because of an upgrade of Ruby, as two
hashes were passed to `I18n.t` (`vars` and `default`) without using the
splat operator.
When using `Discourse.cache.fetch` with an expiry, there's a potential for a race condition due to how we read the data from redis.
The code used to be
```ruby
raw = redis.get(key) if !force
entry = read_entry(key) if raw
return entry if raw && !(entry == :__corrupt_cache__)
```
with `read_entry` defined as follow
```ruby
def read_entry(key)
if data = redis.get(key)
Marshal.load(data)
end
rescue => e
:__corrupt_cache__
end
```
If the value at "key" expired in redis between `raw = redis.get` and `entry = read_entry`, the `entry` variable would be `nil` despite `raw` having a value.
We would then proceed to return `entry` (which is `nil`) thinking it had a value, when it didn't.
The first `redis.get` can be skipped altogether and we can rely only on `read_entry` to read the data from redis. Thus avoiding the race condition and removing the double read operations.

In certain config areas (like About) we want to be able
to fetch specific site settings by name. In this case,
sometimes we need to be able to fetch hidden settings,
in cases where a config area is still experimental.
Splitting out a different endpoint for this purpose
allows us to be stricter with what we return for config
areas without affecting the main site settings UI, revealing
hidden settings before they are ready.
Since switching to Maxmind permalinks to download the databases in
7079698cdf, we have received multiple
reports about rebuilds failing as `maxminddb:refresh` runs during
the rebuilds and failing to download the databases cases the rebuilds to
fail.
Downloading Maxmind databases should not sit in the critical rebuild
path but since we are close to the Discourse 3.3 release, we have opted
to just rescue all errors encountered when downloading the databases.
In the near future after the Discourse 3.3 release, we will be looking
at moving the downloading of maxmind databases out of the rebuild path.
We have a dedicated admin page (`/admin/customize/email_templates`) that lets admins customize all emails that Discourse sends to users. The way this page works is that it lists all translations strings that are used for emails, and the list of translation strings is currently hardcoded and hasn't been updated in years. We've had a number of new emails that Discourse sends, so we should add those templates to the list to let admins easily customize those templates.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-2-x-still-ignores-some-custom-email-templates/308203.
* FIX: Ensure JsLocaleHelper to obly outputs up-to-date translations
The old implementation forgot to filter out deprecated
translations, causing these translations to incorrectly override the new
locale in the frontend.
This commit fills in the forgotten where clause, filtering only the
up-to-date part.
Related meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/outdated-translation-replacement-causing-missing-translation/314352
This patch fixes the `i18n:check` rake task which has been broken by
the `MessageFormat` upgrade.
It also adds a spec to ensure we generate valid MF code for all our
available locales.
Currently, when adding translation overrides, values aren’t validated
for MF strings. This results in being able to add invalid plural keys or
even strings containing invalid syntax.
This patch addresses this issue by compiling the string when saving an
override if the key is detected as an MF one.
If there’s an error from the compiler, it’s added to the model errors,
which in turn is displayed to the user in the admin UI, helping them to
understand what went wrong.
When we show user tips, we immediately send an AJAX request to mark the
tiup as seen. This is done in the background. However, when system tests
are run, sometimes that request is not completed before the test ends.
This causes the test to be flakey.
One way to fix this is to force the system test run to wait for the AJAX
request to complete. However, this is not ideal because it makes the
test suite slower on each run.
Instead, this commit removes the flakey assertion and adds an alternative
assertion in the frontend tests that ensures the background request is
sent when the user tip is shown.
Form Kit is our new form library/framework for unifying the way forms look across Discourse. The admin config area for the /about page is a new form that isn't currently used, so it makes sense for it to be one of the first forms to be migrated to Form Kit to test the library.

We can get translations with invalid plural keys from Crowdin
or from custom overrides. Currently, this will raise an error and the
locales won’t be outputted at all.
This patch addresses this issue by using the new `strict: false` option
of our `messageformat-wrapper` gem, allowing to generate locales even if
there are invalid plural keys present.
* FIX: Add post id to the anchor to prevent two identical anchors
We generate anchors for headings in posts. This works fine if there is
only one post in a topic with anchors. The problem comes when you have
two or more posts with the same heading. PrettyText generates anchors
based on the heading text using the raw context of each post, so it is
entirely possible to generate the same anchor for two posts in the same
topic, especially for topics with template replies
Post1:
# heading
context
Post2:
# heading
context
When both posts are on the page at the same time, the anchor will only
work for the first post, according to the [HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-the-fragment-identifier).
> If there is an a element in the document tree whose root is document
> that has a name attribute whose value is equal to fragment, then
> return the *first* such element in tree order.
This bug is particularly serious in forums with non-Latin languages,
such as Chinese. We do not generate slugs for Chinese, which results in
the heading anchors being completely dependent on their order.
```ruby
[2] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文")
=> "<h1><a name=\"h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
Therefore, the anchors in the two posts must be in exactly the same by
order, causing almost all of the anchors in the second post to be
invalid.
This commit solves this problem by adding the `post_id` to the anchor.
The new anchor generation method will add `p-{post_id}` as a prefix when
post_id is available:
```ruby
[3] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文", post_id: 1234)
=> "<h1><a name=\"p-1234-h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#p-1234-h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
This way we can ensure that each anchor name only appears once on the
same topic. Using post id also prevents the potential possibility of the
same anchor name when splitting/merging topics.
We are investigating a memory leak in Sidekiq and saw the following line
when comparing heap dumps over time.
`Allocated IMEMO 14775 objects of size 591000/7389528 (in bytes) at:
/var/www/discourse/app/jobs/onceoff/onceoff.rb:36`
That line in question was doing a `.select { |klass| klass < self }` on
`ObjectSpace.each_object(Class)`. This for some reason is allocating a
whole bunch of `IMEMO` objects which are instruction sequence objects.
Instead of diving deeper into why this might be leaking, we can just
save our time by switching to an implementation that is more efficient
and does not require looping through a ton of objects.

Previously in these 2 PRs, we introduced a new site setting `SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27674
When disabled, it should enforce 2FA for local login with username and password and skip the requirement when authenticating with oauth2.
We stored information about the login method in a secure session but it is not reliable. Therefore, information about the login method is moved to the database.
Previously, we couldn't change the user agent name dynamically for onebox requests. In this commit, a new hidden site setting `onebox_user_agent` is created to override the default user agent value specified in the [initializer](c333e9d6e6/config/initializers/100-onebox_options.rb (L15)).

- Ensure main title is set as 'not visible' when removed from DOM
- `deactivate` -> `willTransition` to ensure proper behavior when navigating between multiple topics
Followup to bdec564d14
- Move topic-title on-screen detection to intersection-observer (via new modifier), and add a boolean to header service which indicates whether it's on-screen
- Move scroll-direction from Mixin to dedicated service. Teach it to pause scroll monitoring while transitions are in progress, to avoid reporting false changes in scroll direction. Also resets to a 'neutral' state after each navigation, which indicates the the user has not yet scrolled
- When entering a topic view, notify the header service which post is being targeted. It can then make an educated guess about whether the topic title is likely to be in-view
- Update header service `topicInfoVisible` to be a declarative getter, based on the three refactored sources of truth mentioned above
- Update legacy widget header to use the header service for topic info
All of these changes mean that the header no longer 'flickers' when navigating into topics on mobile. As well as the improved UX, this should also improve our Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) web vital metrics.
* FEATURE: Clean up previously logged information after permanently deleting posts
When soft deleteing a topic or post, we will log some details in the
staff log, including the raw content of the post. Before this commit, we
will not clear the information in these records. Therefore, after
permanently deleting the post, `UserHistory` still retains copy of the
permanently deleted post. This is an unexpected behaviour and may raise
some potential legal issues.
This commit adds a behavior that when a post is permanently deleted, the
details column of the `UserHistory` associated with the post will be
overwritten to "(permanently deleted)". At the same time, for permanent
deletion, a new `action_id` is introduced to distinguish it from soft
deletion.
