* FIX: Tag watching for everyone tag groups Tags in tag groups that have permissions set to everyone were not able to be saved correctly. A user on their preferences page would mark the tags that they wanted to save, but the watched_tags in the response would be empty. This did not apply to admins, just regular users. Even though the watched tags were being saved in the db, the user serializer response was filtering them out. When a user refreshed their preferences pages it would show zero watched tags. This appears to be a regression introduced by: 0f598ca51e7ada06f91a6a8717909627ee81a67c The issue that needed to be fixed is that we don't track the "everyone" group (which has an id of 0) in the group_users table. This is because everyone has access to it, so why fill a row for every single user, that would be a lot. The fix was to update the query to include tag groups that had permissions set to the "everyone" group (group_id 0). I also added another check to the existing spec for updating watched tags for tags that aren't in a tag group so that it checks the response body. I then added a new spec which updates watched tags for tags in a tag group which has permissions set to everyone. * Resolve failing tests Improve SQL query syntax for including the "everyone" group with the id of 0. This commit also fixes a few failing tests that were introduced. It turns out that the Fabrication of the Tag Group Permissions was faulty. What happens when creating the tag groups without any permissions is that it sets the permission to "everyone". If we then follow up with fabricating a tag group permission on the tag group instead of having a single permission it will have 2 (everyone + the group specified)! We don't want this. To fix it I removed the fabrication of tag group permissions and just set the permissions directly when creating the tag group. * Use response.parsed_body instead of JSON.parse
