This is one of the last major endpoints that were still done in the
pre-REST style.
While we're at it, we change the endpoint to expect a stream ID, not a
stream name.
This fixes most cases where we were assigning a user to
the var email and then calling get_user_profile_by_email with
that var.
(This was fixed mostly with a script.)
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
On slower systems or virtual environments, when you are running
tests in parallel mode, sometimes the time taken to send messages
in this test exceeds 1 second which resets the limit.
We used to use constructions like
from_email = "Zulip <%s>" % (settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS,)
but no longer do. All references to settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS in the
codebase now do not append a display name.
This commit is a step towards the goal of replacing most of the
send_future_email pathway with a call to send_email.
Note that this commit changes the default value of sender from "Zulip
<NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS>" to "NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS". NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS
will soon be changed to have the Zulip in front.
Note that the correctness of this commit relies on the fact that
send_future_email also sets the sender to settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS by
default (in the body of the function).
Fixes regression introduced in 326f9a85. The test indirectly makes a call to
email_is_not_mit_mailing_list, which then calls
DNS.dnslookup("%s.pobox.ns.athena.mit.edu" % username, DNS.Type.TXT).
If a user is trying to register for a mit zephyr mirroring realm, we send
them a specific registration email with a link to a few more instructions.
There is only one server that we know about that has such a realm, and that
server uses subdomains. This commit changes the logic to work in the
subdomains case, rather than in the non-subdomains case (though see next
para).
Note that the current check is deceptive, and is not actually correct in the
non-subdomains case. The prereg user has a realm only in the atypical case
of someone registering via the special URL for completely-open realms.
To do this correctly in the non-subdomains case, we would need to copy a
bunch of the logic from the beginning of accounts_register to figure out
which realm the user is signing up for, so that we can check if that realm
is a zephyr mirroring realm. Given how complicated the registration code is
already, I think it is probably not worth it at the moment. This commit also
removes the partial (deceptive) check, since I think it does more harm than
good.
Specifically, this makes easily available to the desktop and mobile
apps data on the server's configuration, including important details
like the realm icon, name, and description.
It deprecates /api/v1/get_auth_backends.
Previously, api_key_only_webhook_view passed 3 positional arguments
(request, user_profile, and client) into a function. However, most
of our other auth decorators only pass 2 positional arguments. For
the sake of consistency, we now make api_key_only_webhook_view set
request.client and pass only request and user_profile as positional
arguments.
This is a better solution to the problem of how _pg_re_escape should
handle the null character. There's really no good reason to have a
null character in a stream name.
