Also encode/decode strings appropriately when using api_keys to generate
basic auth header.
Also fix clashing annotations in zerver/tests/test_external.py.
We would like to know which kind of authentication backends the server
supports.
This is information you can get from /login, but not in a way easily
parseable by API apps (e.g. the Zulip mobile apps).
This reverts commit e985b57259.
This commit will break production when we next do a release, because
we haven't done a migration to create Attachment objects for
previously uploaded files.
For a long time, rest_dispatch has had this hack where we have to
create a copy of it in each views file using it, in order to directly
access the globals list in that file. This removes that hack, instead
making rest_dispatch just use Django's import_string to access the
target method to use.
[tweaked and reorganized from acrefoot's original branch in various
ways by tabbott]
get_display_recipient's annotation clashes with other wrong annotations.
Fix those wrong annotations.
Since get_display_recipient returns a Union, use isinstance checks and
casts to make mypy checks succeed.
Now that we have a working S3 mock and an effective way to toggle the
upload backend that Zulip is using, we can re-enable this important
end-to-end test of the Zulip S3 upload backend.
This has no functional changes; we just replace the old hacky
assignment of functions with assignment of the upload backend to a
variable.
I'm not totally happy with this, because we end up having to copy the
type annotations of the three methods 4 times each, but this should
make it a lot easier to test the (non-default-in-tests) S3 backend
using end-to-end tests, which would have caught
13bac1cc2a.
I expect we'll iterate on the interface over time; ideally, I'd like
all the code that checks LOCAL_UPLOADS_DIR to be inside upload.py, and
primarily in these classes.
