get_active_subscriptions_for_stream_id should allow specifying whether
subscriptions of deactivated users should be included in the result.
Active subs of deactivated users are a subtlety that's easy to miss
when writing relevant code, so we make include_deactivated_users a
mandatory kwarg - this will force callers to definitely give thought to
whether such subs should be included or not.
This commit is just a refactoring, we keep original behavior everywhere
- there are places where subs of deactivates users should probably be
excluded but aren't - we don't fix that here, it'll be addressed in
follow-up commits.
A bug in the implementation of the can_forge_sender permission
(previously is_api_super_user) resulted in users with this permission
being able to send messages appearing as if sent by a system bots,
including to other organizations hosted by the same Zulip installation.
- The send message API had a bug allowing an api super user to
use forging to send messages to other realms' streams, as a
cross-realm bot. We fix this most directly by eliminating the
realm_str parameter - it is not necessary for any valid current use
case. The email gateway doesn't use this API despite the comment in
that block suggesting otherwise.
- The conditionals inside access_stream_for_send_message are changed up
to improve security. They were generally not ordered very well,
allowing the function to successfully return due to very weak
acceptance conditions - skipping the higher importance checks that
should lead to raising an error.
- The query count in test_subs is decreased because
access_stream_for_send_message returns earlier when doing its check
for a cross-realm bot sender - some subscription checking queries are
skipped.
- A linkifier test in test_message_dict needs to be changed. It didn't
make much sense in the first place, because it was creating a message
by a normal user, to a stream outside of the user's realm. That
shouldn't even be allowed.
We refactor check_has_permission_policies to check for all user roles for
each value of policy. This will help in handle a case where a guest is
allowed to do something but moderator isn't.
We need to do user_profile.refresh_from_db() in validation_func because
the realm object from user_profile is used in has_permission and we need
updated realm instance after changing the policy.
This is a follow-up commit to 9a4c58cb.
Messages sent by muted users are marked as read
as soon as they are sent (or, more accurately,
while creating the database entries itself), regardless
of type (stream/huddle/PM).
ede73ee4cd, makes it easy to
pass a list to `do_send_messages` containing user-ids for
whom the message should be marked as read.
We add the contents of this list to the set of muter IDs,
and then pass it on to `create_user_messages`.
This benefits from the caching behaviour of `get_muting_users`
and should not cause performance issues long term.
The consequence is that messages sent by muted users will
not contribute to unread counts and notifications.
This commit does not affect the unread messages
(if any) present just before muting, but only handles
subsequent messages. Old unreads will be handled in
further commits.
We keep the error message same for all cases when a user is not
allowed to subscribe others for all values of invite_to_stream_policy.
We raise error with different message for guest cases because it
is handled by decorators. We aim to change this behavior in future.
Explaining the details in error message isn't much important as
we do not show errors probably in API only, as we do not the show
the options itself in the frontend.

The tests for can_create_streams and can_subscribe_other_users shares a
lot of code and we deduplicate the code by extracting most of the code
as check_has_permission_policies which will now be called by the two
tests test_can_create_streams and test_can_subscribe_other_users.
This will also help in avoiding the duplication of code when we will
convert more policies to use COMMON_POLICY_TYPES.
Adding an additional `!` to the stream name each time a stream is
deactivated, to a maximum of 21 times, effectively limits number of
times a stream with a given name can be deactivated. This is unlikely
to come up in common usage, but may be confusing when testing.
Change what we prepend to deactivated stream names to something with
more entropy than just `!`, by instead prepending a substring of hash
of the stream's ID. `!`s. Using 128 bits of the hash means that it
will require more than 10^18th renames to have a 1% chance of collision.
Because too-long stream names are also truncated at 60 characters,
having this entropy in the beginning of the name also helps address
potential issues from stream names that differed only in, e.g. the
60th character.
Fixes#17016.
This commit adds a new option of STREAM_POST_POLICY_MODERATORS
in stream_post_policy which will allow only realm admins and
moderators to post in that stream.
The moderators-only option was actually added in the previous
commit for create_stream_policy as we use the same function
'has_permission' for both the policies. But we add the error
handling code and tests for moderators-only option in this
commit.
This commit modifies the has_permission function to include
realm moderator role. Thus this adds a new option of moderators
only for create_stream_policy.
Though this automatically adds this option for invite_to_stream_policy
also, but we will keep other code for showing error and for tests
in a separate commit.
This commit changes the list_to_streams function to raise error
according to create_stream_policy value when a user cannot create
streams instead of same error for all cases.
This commit modifies test_user_settings_for_subscribing_other_users
to check all the possible cases including the cases when a user
can successfully subscribe other users along with the already
tested failure cases. This commit also adds checks for guest users
which was not present before.
This commit replaces the code which directly changes user.role,
realm.create_stream_policy and realm.waiting_period_threshold
with do_change_user_role and do_set_realm_property functions
in test_can_create_streams. This makes the code similar to the
other tests.
We refactor test_can_create_streams and test_can_subscribe_other_users
in test_subs.py. We want to follow a specific order in such tests
which is just set the policy value one by one and then checking
that the role in policy returns true and role just below that returns
false. This approach is explained in detail below.
Following hierarchy of roles is considered for these tests -
1. Realm admin
2. Full members
3. Members
4. Guests.
Then if the policy is set to admins only, we check that the having
role as admin returns true and the role just below that, i.e. full
member returns false. Similarly, if the policy is set to members
only, we check that a member should return true and role below it
which is guest should return false. We basically follow these as
we can assume that if a user with particular role cannot do the
required task, then user with role below in the hierarchy would
be not allowed to do the task too.
This commit refactors the above mentioned two tests to have above
explained workflow.
This commit removes the unnecessary do_change_user_role function
in test_can_subcribe_other_users. This was added in 1aebf3cab
which replaced the multiple functions like do_change_is_admin
and do_change_is_guest with do_change_user_role.
Previously two functions do_change_is_admin and do_change_is_guest
were used because there were two flags is_realm_admin and is_guest
which were used to determine the role of a user. But then we added
a single field role to UserProfile and removed the multiple flags
and thus also replaced the different functions with a single
do_change_user_role. With addition of a new field role, two
different do_change_* functions were not needed as we only have
a role field instead of different flags, but this was missed in
1aebf3cab and this commit fixes it.
This commit updates the stream creation, subscribing others to
stream, wildcard mention settings and stream post policy to allow
realm moderators even if they are new and the respective setting
is set to allow full members only.
This commit renames the is_new_member property in models.py
to is_provisional_member which will return true for any user
who is not a full member. We will add a condition in further
commit such that this returns 'False' for a moderator as we
will initially give all the rights to moderator that a full
member has.
Note that at this point, it's not possible to create moderator users;
this just will make it easier to write tests for logic involving them
as we develop the feature.
Adjustments made due to changes in Django 3.0:
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/)
- test_signup: INTERNAL_RESET_URL_TOKEN was moved to
PasswordResetConfirmView.reset_url_token
- test_message_fetch:
"add_never_cache_headers() and never_cache() now add the private
directive to Cache-Control headers."
- "django.utils.html.escape() now uses html.escape() to escape HTML.
This converts ' to ' instead of the previous equivalent decimal
code '." - this requires adjusting the expected decimal code
in some of the string fixtures in tests.
We eliminate some redundant checks.
We also consistently provide a `subscribers` field
in our stream data with `[]`, even if our users
can't access subscribers. We therefore bump
the API version and tweak the docs. (See further
down for a detailed justification of the change.)
Even though it is sometimes fine to have redundant code
that is defensive in nature, some upcoming changes are gonna
move subscriber-related logic out of build_stream_dict_for_sub
for certain codepaths as part of our effort to streamline
the payload for subscribers within page_params.
So we can't rely on the code that I removed here
inside of build_stream_dict_for_sub.
Anyway, it makes more sense to do these checks explicitly
in the validate function.
The code in build_stream_dict_for_sub was almost effectively
a noop, since the validation function was already preventing
us from getting subscriber info. The only difference it
made was sometimes converting `[]` to `None`, and then
subsequently omitting the subscribers field.
Neither ZT nor the webapp make any distinction between
`[]` or <missing key> for the `subscribers` data in
`page_params`.
The webapp has had this code for a long time (and now
equivalent code elsewhere in this PR):
if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(sub, "subscribers")) {
sub.subscribers = new LazySet([]);
}
The webapp calculates access based on booleans, anyway:
sub.can_access_subscribers =
page_params.is_admin || sub.subscribed ||
(!page_params.is_guest && !sub.invite_only);
And ZT would choke if `subscribers` were missing, except that
it never gets to the relevant code due to other checks:
def get_other_subscribers_in_stream(<snip>):
assert stream_id is not None or stream_name is not None
if stream_id:
assert self.is_user_subscribed_to_stream(stream_id)
return [sub
for sub in self.stream_dict[stream_id]['subscribers']
if sub != self.user_id]
else:
return [sub
for _, stream in self.stream_dict.items()
for sub in stream['subscribers']
if stream['name'] == stream_name
if sub != self.user_id]
You could make a semantic argument that we should prefer
<missing key> to `[]` when subscribers aren't even available, but
we have precedent from the way that `bulk_get_subscriber_user_ids`
has traditionally populated its result:
result: Dict[int, List[int]] =
{stream["id"]: [] for stream in stream_dicts}
If we changed `stream_dicts` to `target_stream_dicts` we
would faciliate a move toward `None`, but it would just cause
headaches for other server code as well as the frontends
(which, to reiterate, already prefer the empty array
for convenience).
In 709493cd75 (Feb 2017)
I added code to render_markdown that re-fetched the
sender of the message, to detect whether the message is
a bot.
It's better to just let the ORM fetch this. The
message object should already have sender.
The diff makes it look like we are saving round trips
to the database, which is true in some cases. For
the main message-send codepath, though, we are only
saving a trip to memcached, since the middleware
will have put our sender's user object into the
cache. The test_message_send test calls internally
to check_send_stream_message, so it was actually
hitting the database in render_markdown (prior to
my change).
Before this change we were clearing the cache on
every SQL usage.
The code to do this was added in February 2017
in 6db4879f9c.
Now we clear the cache just one time, but before
the action/request under test.
Tests that want to count queries with a warm
cache now specify keep_cache_warm=True. Those
tests were particularly flawed before this change.
In general, the old code both over-counted and
under-counted queries.
It under-counted SQL usage for requests that were
able to pull some data out of a warm cache before
they did any SQL. Typically this would have bypassed
the initial query to get UserProfile, so you
will see several off-by-one fixes.
The old code over-counted SQL usage to the extent
that it's a rather extreme assumption that during
an action itself, the entries that you put into
the cache will get thrown away. And that's essentially
what the prior code simulated.
Now, it's still bad if an action keeps hitting the
cache for no reason, but it's not as bad as hitting
the database. There doesn't appear to be any evidence
of us doing something silly like fetching the same
data from the cache in a loop, but there are
opportunities to prevent second or third round
trips to the cache for the same object, if we
can re-structure the code so that the same caller
doesn't have two callees get the same data.
Note that for invites, we have some cache hits
that are due to the nature of how we serialize
data to our queue processor--we generally just
serialize ids, and then re-fetch objects when
we pop them off the queue.
We no bulk up peer_add/peer_remove events by user if the
same user has subscribed to multiple streams (and just
that single user).
This mostly optimizes the new-user codepath, but the
algorithm is a bit more general in nature.
We now can send an implied matrix of user/stream tuples
for peer_add and peer_remove events.
The client code basically does this:
for stream_id in event['stream_ids']:
for user_id in event['user_ids']:
update_sub(stream_id, user_id)
We used to send individual events, which gets real
expensive when you are creating new streams. For
the case of copy-to-stream case, we should see
events go from U to 1, where U is the number of users
added.
Note that we don't yet fully optimize the potential
of this schema. For adding a new user with lots
of default streams, we still send S peer_add events.
And if you subscribe a bunch of users to a bunch of
private streams, we only go from U * S to S; we can't
optimize it down to one event easily.
