* This PR changes the user activity bookmarks stream to show a new list of bookmarks based on the Bookmark record.
* If a bookmark has a name or reminder it will be shown as metadata above the topic title in the list
* The categories, tags, topic status, and assigned show for each bookmarked post based on the post topic
* Bookmarks can be deleted from the [...] menu in the list
* As well as this, the list of bookmarks from the quick access panel is now drawn from the Bookmarks table for a user:
* All of this new functionality is gated behind the enable_bookmarks_with_reminders site setting
The /bookmarks/ route now redirects directly to /user/:username/activity/bookmarks-with-reminders
* The structure of the Ember for the list of bookmarks is not ideal, this is an MVP PR so we can start testing this functionality internally. There is a little repeated code from topic.js.es6. There is an ongoing effort to start standardizing these lists that will be addressed in future PRs.
* This PR also fixes issues with feature detection for at_desktop bookmark reminders
* This PR implements the scheduling and notification system for bookmark reminders. Every 5 minutes a schedule runs to check any reminders that need to be sent before now, limited to **300** reminders at a time. Any leftover reminders will be sent in the next run. This is to avoid having to deal with fickle sidekiq and reminders in the far-flung future, which would necessitate having a background job anyway to clean up any missing `enqueue_at` reminders.
* If a reminder is sent its `reminder_at` time is cleared and the `reminder_last_sent_at` time is filled in. Notifications are only user-level notifications for now.
* All JavaScript and frontend code related to displaying the bookmark reminder notification is contained here. The reminder functionality is now re-enabled in the bookmark modal as well.
* This PR also implements the "Remind me next time I am at my desktop" bookmark reminder functionality. When the user is on a mobile device they are able to select this option. When they choose this option we set a key in Redis saying they have a pending at desktop reminder. The next time they change devices we check if the new device is desktop, and if it is we send reminders using a DistributedMutex. There is also a job to ensure consistency of these reminders in Redis (in case Redis drops the ball) and the at desktop reminders expire after 20 days.
* Also in this PR is a fix to delete all Bookmarks for a user via `UserDestroyer`
There are three modifiers:
- serialize_topic_excerpts (boolean)
- csp_extensions (array of strings)
- svg_icons (array of strings)
When multiple themes are active, the values will be combined. The combination method varies based on the setting. CSP/SVG arrays will be combined. serialize_topic_excerpts will use `Enumerable#any`.
* PERF: Allow passing an existing list of user field ids when loading
This avoids the need for running `UserField.pluck(:id)` for each user that is serialized
* Memoize user_fields to avoid rebuilding hash ever time
PMs will now display an envelope icon next to the topic title in search results. This is especially useful when searching using `in:all`.

When a tag is restricted to a secured category that the user can't see,
the message was saying that it wasn't restricted to any categories.
Now it will say it's restricted to categories you can't access.
If someone only had security keys enabled, the icon to say they had 2FA enabled would not show in the admin staff user list. It would only show if they had TOTP enabled.
Adds a new route `/u/{username}/card.json`, which has a reduced number of fields. This change is behind a hidden site setting, so we can test compatibility before rolling out.
### General Changes and Duplication
* We now consider a post `with_secure_media?` if it is in a read-restricted category.
* When uploading we now set an upload's secure status straight away.
* When uploading if `SiteSetting.secure_media` is enabled, we do not check to see if the upload already exists using the `sha1` digest of the upload. The `sha1` column of the upload is filled with a `SecureRandom.hex(20)` value which is the same length as `Upload::SHA1_LENGTH`. The `original_sha1` column is filled with the _real_ sha1 digest of the file.
* Whether an upload `should_be_secure?` is now determined by whether the `access_control_post` is `with_secure_media?` (if there is no access control post then we leave the secure status as is).
* When serializing the upload, we now cook the URL if the upload is secure. This is so it shows up correctly in the composer preview, because we set secure status on upload.
### Viewing Secure Media
* The secure-media-upload URL will take the post that the upload is attached to into account via `Guardian.can_see?` for access permissions
* If there is no `access_control_post` then we just deliver the media. This should be a rare occurrance and shouldn't cause issues as the `access_control_post` is set when `link_post_uploads` is called via `CookedPostProcessor`
### Removed
We no longer do any of these because we do not reuse uploads by sha1 if secure media is enabled.
* We no longer have a way to prevent cross-posting of a secure upload from a private context to a public context.
* We no longer have to set `secure: false` for uploads when uploading for a theme component.
- Ensure that the 'notify_moderators' flag is always the last flag when using custom flags.
- Support passign a custom FlagSettings object when replacing flags to reuse existing ones.
A small fix for Basic User Serializers where some downstream serializers do not correctly set user objects. This caused some issues in certain plugins that depend on the user method to return a user.
- Using h4 instead of h3 for sub-categories.
- Show category description if it does not have subcategories.
- Implemented equivalent for mobile-view.
- Include description_excerpt in basic serializer. This is needed for
displaying second-level categories in category list.
Follow-up to 9253cb79e3.
API keys are now only visible when first created. After that, only the first four characters are stored in the database for identification, along with an sha256 hash of the full key. This makes key usage easier to audit, and ensures attackers would not have access to the live site in the event of a database leak.
This makes the merge lower risk, because we have some time to revert if needed. Once the change is confirmed to be working, we will add a second commit to drop the `key` column.
Hide old bookmark post-menu item if the site setting for the new bookmark reminders is enabled and change icon for the new bookmark functionality to the same as the old bookmark button
Fix null @topic_view error in post serializer for post_bookmark, as new posts do not have a @topic_view
* DEV: Remove unused omit_stats variable from user serializer
This was hard-coded to true in a8b5192efd, and is no longer used anywhere
* Remove attribute declarations
Note: All of this functionality is hidden behind a hidden, default false, site setting called `enable_bookmarks_with_reminders`. Also, any feedback on Ember code would be greatly appreciated!
This is part 1 of the bookmark improvements. The next PR will address the backend logic to send reminder notifications for bookmarked posts to users. This PR adds the following functionality:
* We are adding a new `bookmarks` table and `Bookmark` model to make the bookmarks a first-class citizen and to allow attaching reminders to them.
* Posts now have a new button in their actions menu that has the icon of an actual book
* Clicking the button opens the new bookmark modal.
* Both name and the reminder type are optional.
* If you close the modal without doing anything, the bookmark is saved with no reminder.
* If you click the Cancel button, no bookmark is saved at all.
* All of the reminder type tiles are dynamic and the times they show will be based on your user timezone set in your profile (this should already be set for you).
* If for some reason a user does not have their timezone set they will not be able to set a reminder, but they will still be able to create a bookmark.
* A bookmark can be deleted by clicking on the book icon again which will be red if the post is bookmarked.
This PR does NOT do anything to migrate or change existing bookmarks in the form of `PostActions`, the two features live side-by-side here. Also this does nothing to the topic bookmarking.
When the tag is muted and topic contains that tag, we should not mark that message as NEW.
There are 3 possible settings which site admin can set.
remove_muted_tags_from_latest - always
It means that if the topic got at least one muted tag, we should not mark that topic as NEW
remove_muted_tags_from_latest - only muted
Similar to above, however, if at least one tag is not muted, the topic is marked as NEW
remove_muted_tags_from_latest - never
Basically, mute tag setting is ignored and all topics are set as NEW
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
If a badge grouping happens to have been deleted a 500 error will be
thrown when looking a user's badges.
This fix allows the badge page to still be shown without any errors. The
badge with the missing badge grouping is still displayed.
I'll follow up with a separate pr/commit that will ensure if a badge
grouping is deleted, all badges with that badge_grouping_id will also be
updated.
* the code to get current user already got their
user_option record as well, so adding the timezone
column to the attributes returned should not create
any additional overhead. this timezone will be very
useful for getting momentjs dates relative to the
user's timezone
* Support for custom messages and redirects when creating posts
When a post/topic is created Discourse serializes a `NewPostResult`
object. Normally this contains a status like `created_post` or
errors describing why the post could not be created.
There are times when a plugin might want to take the inputted post
and do something in the background. In this case, the plugin
can return a custom `message` and `route_to` attribute in the
`NewPostResult`.
If present, the message will be displayed in an alert, and when "Ok" is
clicked the user will be routed to the new URL.
* Destroy the draft in parallel
* Add timezone to user_options table
* Also migrate existing timezone values from UserCustomField,
which is where the discourse-calendar plugin is storing them
* Allow user to change their core timezone from Profile
* Auto guess & set timezone on login & invite accept & signup
* Serialize user_options.timezone for group members. this is so discourse-group-timezones can access the core user timezone, as it is being removed in discourse-calendar.
* Annotate user_option with timezone
* Validate timezone values
* If a staff user created only a security key as their single 2FA option. they continued to be prompted to create a 2FA option because we only considered this condition satisfied if a TOTP was added.
* The condition is now satisfied if TOTP OR security keys are enabled.
- Allow revoking keys without deleting them
- Auto-revoke keys after a period of no use (default 6 months)
- Allow multiple keys per user
- Allow attaching a description to each key, for easier auditing
- Log changes to keys in the staff action log
- Move all key management to one place, and improve the UI
In a category's settings, the Tags tab has two new fields to
specify the number of tags that must be added to a topic
from a tag group. When creating a new topic, an error will be
shown to the user if the requirement isn't met.
* FEATURE: Site setting/ui to allow users to set their primary group
* prettier and remove logic from account template
* added 1 to 43 to make web_hook_user_serializer_spec pass
The payload when receiving a notification webhook is pointless without
knowing which user the notification is for. This fix adds the user_id to
the notification serializer so that when you receive a notification
webhook you can properly identify which user the notification is for.
See
https://meta.discourse.org/t/getting-the-target-user-for-notification-webhook-events/129052?u=blake
for more details.
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
Using popups is becoming increasingly rare. Full page redirects are already used on mobile, and for some providers. This commit removes all logic related to popup authentication, leaving only the full page redirect method.
For more info, see https://meta.discourse.org/t/do-we-need-popups-for-login/127988
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.
If you click a (?) icon beside the reviewable status a pop up will
appear with expanded informatio that explains how the reviewable got its
score, and how it compares to system thresholds.
* The read indicator now shows up when no member has read the last post of the topic (written by a non-member)
* The read indicator works on mobile and receives live updates from message bus
* The icon we display in the topic list was changed
* Added a title to the indicator to indicate its purpose when hovering over it
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
This reverts commit 36425eb9f0.
* Fix: Show who read only if the attribute is enabled
* PERF: Precalculate the last post readed by a group member
* Use book-reader icon instear of far-eye
* FIX: update topic groups correctly
* DEV: Tidy up read indicator update on write
* Reenable: "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989)"
This reverts commit 67f5cc1ce8.
* FIX: Read indicator only appears when the group setting is enabled
* Enable or disable read state based on group attribute
* When read state needs to be published, the minimum unread count is calculated in the topic query. This way, we can know if someone reads the last post
* The option can be enabled/disabled from the UI
* The read indicator will live-updated using message bus
* Show read indicator on every post
* The read indicator now shows read count and can be expanded to see user avatars
* Read count gets updated everytime someone reads a message
* Simplify topic-list read indicator logic
* Unsubscribe from message bus on willDestroyElement, removed unnecesarry values from post-menu, and added a comment to explain where does minimum_unread_count comes from
Serializer is injecting information into cooked and reaching direct to
custom fields that were not preloaded
This amends it so basic post serializer can use the proper interface
That said we should probably follow this up so we don't reach for this
info on every post.
There are 5 visibility levels (similar to group visibility)
public (default)
logged-in users
members only
staff
owners
Admins & group owners always have visibility to group members.
Theme developers can now add any of the transformed color variables to their color scheme in about.json. For example
```
"color_schemes": {
"Light": {
"primary": "333333",
"secondary": "ffffff",
"primary-low": "ff0000"
}
},
```
would override the primary-low variable when compiling SCSS for the color scheme. The primary-low variable will also be visible in administrator color palette UI.
- Client-side censoring fixed for non-chrome browsers. (Regular expression rewritten to avoid lookback)
- Regex generation is now done on the server, to reduce repeated logic, and make it easier to extend in plugins
- Censor tests are moved to ruby, to ensure everything works end-to-end
- If "watched words regular expressions" is enabled, warn the admin when the generated regex is invalid
This feature adds the ability to customize the HTML part of all emails using a custom HTML template and optionally some CSS to style it. The CSS will be parsed and converted into inline styles because CSS is poorly supported by email clients. When writing the custom HTML and CSS, be aware of what email clients support. Keep customizations very simple.
Customizations can be added and edited in Admin > Customize > Email Style.
Since the summary email is already heavily styled, there is a setting to disable custom styles for summary emails called "apply custom styles to digest" found in Admin > Settings > Email.
As part of this work, RTL locales are now rendered correctly for all emails.
If a post arrives via email but must be reviewed, we now show an
icon that can be clicked to view the raw contents of the email.
This is useful if Discourse's email parser is acting odd and the user
reviewing the post wants to know what the original contents were before
approving/rejecting the post.
This allows you to temporarily disable components without having to remove them from a theme.
This feature is very handy when doing quick fix engineering.
The global setting disable_search_queue_threshold
(DISCOURSE_DISABLE_SEARCH_QUEUE_THRESHOLD) which default to 1 second was
added.
This protection ensures that when the application is unable to keep up with
requests it will simply turn off search till it is not backed up.
To disable this protection set this to 0.
We now show if a queued or flagged post is a reply to another when in
the review queue. It's especially helpful for queued posts where
normally they are linked to the topic where they are created, and you
have no context about the reply.
Note that this will only apply to new queued posts going forward.
Previously queued posts will not show the "in reply to"
This reverts commit 1fbe078ae0.
`UserProfile` is created in a callback after the user has been created.
As such, it should be impossible for a user to not have a blank
`UserProfile`. This was also improved in
4f5c9bb8d3.
Previously theme setting descriptions were defined in the `settings.yml` file like this:
```
setting_name:
default: "My Default Value"
description:
en: "English description"
fr: "French description"
```
This commit allows developers to store the localised descriptions in the theme locale files instead:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
description: Theme Description
settings:
setting_name: "The localised description for setting_name"
```
This feature allows end users to "defer" topics by marking them unread
The functionality is default disabled. This also introduces the new site
setting default_other_enable_defer: to enable this by default on new user
accounts.
Apparently is is possible to have a user without a user_profile. This
fix will return nil for any user_profile fields during serialization
(like the after delete web hook) instead of blowing up.
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
This is a feature that used to be present in discourse-assign but is
much easier to implement in core. It also allows a topic to be assigned
without it claiming for review and vice versa and allows it to work with
category group reviewers.
This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
This change shows a notification number besides the flag icon in the
post menu if there is reviewable content associated with the post.
Additionally, if there is pending stuff to review, the icon has a red
background.
We have also removed the list of links below a post with the flag
status. A reviewer is meant to click the number beside the flag icon to
view the flags. As a consequence of losing those links, we've removed
the ability to undo or ignore flags below a post.
After careful analysis of large data-sets it became apparent that avg_time
had no impact whatsoever on "best of" topic scoring. Calculating avg_time
was a very costly operation especially on large databases.
We have some longer term plans of introducing other weighting that is read
time based into our scoring for "best of" and "top" topics, but in the
interim to stop a large amount of work that is not achieving any value we
are removing the jobs.
Column removal will follow once we decide on a new replacement metric.
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
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.
In certain edge cases, the message bus won't send the message to the
user about the updated review count and it can go out of sync.
This patch synchronizes the review count every time:
1. The user visits the "Needs Review" page
2. Every time the user performs an action
A new checkbox has been added to the Tags tab of the category settings modal
which is used when some tags and/or tag groups are restricted to the category,
and all other unrestricted tags should also be allowed.
Default is the same as the previous behaviour: only allow the specified set of
tags and tag groups in the category.
"Rejecting" a user in the queue is equivalent to deleting them, which
would then making it impossible to review rejected users. Now we store
information about the user in the payload so if they are deleted things
still display in the Rejected view.
Secondly, if a user is destroyed outside of the review queue, it will
now automatically "Reject" that queue item.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

Previously we relied on the provider name matching the name of the icon. Now icon names are explicitly set. Plugin providers which do not define an icon will get the default "sign-in-alt" icon
1. Remove `cooked` becaused only the blurb is used on the client side to
display search results.
2. Remove `ignored` because the result is not used in anyway when
searching for pots.
Migrates email user options to a new data structure, where `email_always`, `email_direct` and `email_private_messages` are replace by
* `email_messages_level`, with options: `always`, `only_when_away` and `never` (defaults to `always`)
* `email_level`, with options: `always`, `only_when_away` and `never` (defaults to `only_when_away`)
- Notices are visible only by poster and trust level 2+ users.
- Notices are not generated for non-human or staged users.
- Notices are deleted when post is deleted.
* FEATURE: Add ignored user list to the User's preference page
## Why?
Part of: https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-ignore-a-user/110254
We want to add list of Ignored users under or along with the muted users preferences section.
This way Users can find and update their list of ignored users.
## UI
## Open questions
Two of many options to represent a list of ignored users is that we can:
1. We can represent the ignored user list as a table with the ability to `un-ignore` but NOT to add new ignored users.
2. We can keep it functioning as the `muted user list` where you can `un-ignore` or `ignore` users.
* Adds warnings to the "Edit Category" dialog
* Doesn't hide the "Security" tab on the "Edit Category" dialog anymore. Instead, it shows an explanation why permissions can't be changed.
* Makes the category name translatable
* Hides the category name from the edit dialog (it can be customized by overriding the translation)
* Creates a translation override if the category has been renamed in the past
New `about.json` fields (all optional):
- `authors`: An arbitrary string describing the theme authors
- `theme_version`: An arbitrary string describing the theme version
- `minimum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
- `maximum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
A localized description for a theme can be provided in the language files under the `theme_metadata.description` key
The admin UI has been re-arranged to display this new information, and give more prominence to the remote theme options.
- Themes can supply translation files in a format like `/locales/{locale}.yml`. These files should be valid YAML, with a single top level key equal to the locale being defined. For now these can only be defined using the `discourse_theme` CLI, importing a `.tar.gz`, or from a GIT repository.
- Fallback is handled on a global level (if the locale is not defined in the theme), as well as on individual keys (if some keys are missing from the selected interface language).
- Administrators can override individual keys on a per-theme basis in the /admin/customize/themes user interface.
- Theme developers should access defined translations using the new theme prefix variables:
JavaScript: `I18n.t(themePrefix("my_translation_key"))`
Handlebars: `{{theme-i18n "my_translation_key"}}` or `{{i18n (theme-prefix "my_translation_key")}}`
- To design for backwards compatibility, theme developers can check for the presence of the `themePrefix` variable in JavaScript
- As part of this, the old `{{themeSetting.setting_name}}` syntax is deprecated in favour of `{{theme-setting "setting_name"}}`
This makes more sense than having the guardian take an accessor.
The logic belongs in the Serializer, where the JSON is calculated.
Also removed some of the DRYness in the spec. It's fewer lines
and made it easier to test the option on the serializer.
The wizard searches for:
* a topic that with the "is_welcome_topic" custom field
* a topic with the correct slug for the current default locale
* a topic with the correct slug for the English locale
* the oldest globally pinned topic
It gives up if it didn't find any of the above.
Previously in some cases we would queue logging of invalid post numbers
The impact would be we would miss logging an incoming link and would leak
an error.
* FEATURE: Added MaxMindDb to resolve IP information.
* FEATURE: Added browser detection based on user agent.
* FEATURE: Added recently used devices in user preferences.
* DEV: Added acceptance test for recently used devices.
* UX: Do not show 'Show more' button if there aren't more tokens.
* DEV: Fix unit tests.
* DEV: Make changes after code review.
* Add more detailed unit tests.
* Improve logging messages.
* Minor coding style fixes.
* DEV: Use DropdownSelectBoxComponent and run Prettier.
* DEV: Fix unit tests.
Previously we used width and height for thumbnails, new code ensures
1. We auto correct width and height
2. We added extra columns for thumbnail_width and height, this is determined
by actual upload and no longer passed in as a side effect
3. Optimized Image now stores filesize which can be used for analysis, decisions
Also
- fixes Android image manifest as a side effect
- fixes issue where a thumbnail generated that is smaller than the upload is no longer used
These site settings are very hard to explain and only applicable for very
specific Discourse setups.
If an admin "enables staged users" which is used in support scenarios then
all staff can send "messages" directly to an "email".
The setting allows you to extend this to TL4 or any trust level.
Actual use case would be a support type setup with restricted staff. It is
quite rare so hiding this for now and re-evaluate keeping the setting in
2019
BasicUserSerializer contains enough information for the badges page,
while UserSerializer issues ~100 SQL queries on the fly when serializing
the field without preloading.
At the moment core providers are hard-coded in Javascript, and plugin providers get added to the JS payload at compile time. This refactor means that we only ship enabled providers to the client.

### 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
* Phase 0 for user-selectable theme components
- Drops `key` column from the `themes` table
- Drops `theme_key` column from the `user_options` table
- Adds `theme_ids` (array of ints default []) column to the `user_options` table and migrates data from `theme_key` to the new column.
- Removes the `default_theme_key` site setting and adds `default_theme_id` instead.
- Replaces `theme_key` cookie with a new one called `theme_ids`
- no longer need Theme.settings_for_client
The logic is too hairy and we can't reliably determine
when to force summary mode. Work is underway to improve
perf for megatopics so this will not be required
eventually.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
