Having different behavior for staff and regular users can make it confusing for admins to understand how their configuration changes affect regular users
We were blocking user registrations with same username and password,
but allowing usernames to be changed to be same as password later.
Also disallow names to be the same as password.
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 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
`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.
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
We had quite a few cases in core where inputs are being mutated as a side
effect of calling a method.
This handles all the cases where specs caught this.
Mutating inputs makes code harder to reason about. Eg:
```
frog = "frog"
jump(frog)
puts frog
"fly" # ?????
```
This commit is part of a followup commit that adds # frozen_string_literal
to all our specs.
This functionality was never supported but before the new review queue
it didn't have any errors. Now the combination of settings is prevented
and existing sites with sso enabled will be migrated to remove invite
only.
The `posts` relation on `Topic` is not ordered. Using `Topic.posts.first`
is basically the same as asking for a random post, it will depend on DB
order. This breaks on Topic merge and split for example.
Additionally, a huge problem with that is that it forces active record down
a slow path. `Topic.posts.first` is extremely slow on giant topics, since
it has no default ordering it appears AR materializes the entire set prior
to doing `first`.
This commit also illustrates the importance of testing, initially I only
fixed the second instance of the problem in `post_validator.rb` but testing
revealed that the problem was repeated at the top of the file.
Longer term we should consider a larger change of default ordering the posts
relations so people do not fall down this trap anymore.
* `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.
