This has the side effect of making lint-all check all shell scripts,
not just those under scripts/, tools/, and bin/.
[commit message expanded by tabbott]
Make module tools/lister.py which lists all files in a directory
tracked by git. This is done because lister.py will be used by other
scripts in the future which have to introspect files in the repository,
like linters, static code checkers, etc.
This should fix a problem we've been having with errors downloading
the PhantomJS packages from their original hosting service.
Eventually we should move it to an S3 bucket.
This change drops the memory used for Python processes run by Zulip in
development from about 1GB to 300MB on my laptop.
On the front of safety, http://pika.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.html
explains "Pika does not have any notion of threading in the code. If
you want to use Pika with threading, make sure you have a Pika
connection per thread, created in that thread. It is not safe to share
one Pika connection across threads.". Since this code only connects
to rabbitmq inside the individual threads, I believe this should be
safe.
Progress towards #32.
This automatically loads settings, zerver.models.* and
zerver.lib.actions.* when you start `manage.py shell`, which should
save a bit of time basically every time someone uses it.
Fixes#275.
Add call to tools/generate-fixtures in tools/test-backend before
starting the tests. Previously, test-backend could fail if called
after tools/test-js-with-casper had failed.
Fixes#501.
manage_args is set to a list of arguments a few lines later in the
function, making this initialization as the empty string useless and
confusing.
Discovered using mypy.
It's not clear whether this will end up being net negative in value in
the long term since it's kinda hard to understand the output, but in
the short term it should prevent regressions.
It's possible we should just eliminate this mechanism, but this fixes
a proximal problem where the multi-line get_subscribers endpoint
description was being handled wrong.
Travis CI's model of installing every version of postgres on the test
VM and then shutting all the versions other than the one requested
down seems to not work very well with doing apt upgrades. It seems
the best way to resolve this is to just uninstall the versions we
don't need.
