In some of these contexts, we may still be *using* the Python 2
version, but at least this should eliminate running into
`ImportError`s one by one in scripts that run outside a virtualenv,
as we update their shebangs to refer to Python 3.
Several Python libraries we use don't come in Python 3 versions on
trusty: gevent, boto, twisted, django, django-tagging, whisper.
The latter two don't come in Python 3 versions even on xenial.
So some work required before we can actually switch the code that
relies on those libraries to run as Python 3 -- probably the best
solution will be to backport them all in our apt repo. (All but
`whisper` are packaged in zesty; `whisper` upstream just grew Python 3
support this year.)
We are phasing out the following in tests:
add_dependencies - this is just kind of a clunky UI
require - normal JS requires cause test leaks
In order to plug require leaks, we are effectively doing what
we always have done inside of add_dependencies, which is to
keep track of which modules we have done `require` on, and
these get cleared between tests.
Now we just use `zrequire` every time we want to pull in real
code to our global namespace.
I think soon we'll put the Python 3 venv at `/srv/zulip-venv` and
make `/srv/zulip-py3-venv` just an alias to that (then remove the
alias too), but for now the old name is helpful for spotting places
that need an update.
The `/srv/zulip-venv` name still appears in codepaths used by Travis
tests.
From the line in tools/provision it should trickle to the rest of the
scripts. This works since almost all the python scripts have been linted
to be generic.
Proof that the setup is python3 only: with this commit, within the
vagrant container env, /srv/zulip-venv is no longer present and
`./tools/run-dev.py` runs just fine.
[gnprice: Added `rm -f` and warning message, and made small edits.]
This makes supervisor see the service as cheerfully running
and let it alone, rather than constantly retry starting it.
Because the crash/restart loop means repeatedly spending a
couple of seconds loading Django and the app, separated by
brief periods while supervisor notices the crash and acts
on it, it was actually consuming about 30-50% CPU on the
zulipchat.com staging server.
This pulls together what's covered in detail in several
longer pages, and gives us a page that can serve as a good
drop-in replacement for https://zulip.org/server.html .
Also tweak a couple of related bits for clarity and orthography.
We are adding a new list of unread message ids grouped by
conversation to the queue registration result. This will allow
clients to show accurate unread badges without needing to load an
unbound number of historic messages.
Jason started this commit, and then Steve Howell finished it.
We only identify conversations using stream_id/user_id info;
we may need a subsequent version that includes things like
stream names and user emails/names for API clients that don't
have data structures to map ids -> attributes.
After editing this file for the previous commit, I couldn't unsee
"low-traffic the". So I fixed that, saw more issues, and then just
went through the page for everything that was similarly trivial to fix.
This allow the webbpack dev server to properly reload JavaScript modules
while running in dev without restarting the server. We need to connect
to webpack-dev-server directly because SockJS doesn't support more than
one connection on the same host/port.
ScheduledJob was written for much more generality than it ended up being
used for. Currently it is used by send_future_email, and nothing
else. Tailoring the model to emails in particular will make it easier to do
things like selectively clear emails when people unsubscribe from particular
email types, or seamlessly handle using the same email on multiple realms.
This new setting controls whether or not users are allowed to see the
edit history in a Zulip organization. It controls access through 2
key mechanisms:
* For long-ago edited messages, get_messages removes the edit history
content from messages it sends to clients.
* For newly edited messages, clients are responsible for checking the
setting and not saving the edit history data. Since the webapp was
the only client displaying it before this change, this just required
some changes in message_events.js.
Significantly modified by tabbott to fix some logic bugs and add a
test.
This commit does the following things:
* Instead of using a manual tool for downloading sprite sheets, use
`emoji-datasource` npm package.
* Modify the `build_emoji` script to use sprite sheets from the npm
package.
Bumps PROVISION_VERSION.
Fixes: #4730.
NPM packages should be installed at the beginning of the provisioning
process so that later in the provisioning process if a script requires
any NPM package it can use it. Earlier, we were installing NPM packages
in the last as the installation process can fail due to network issues
but since we now retry in case the installation fails, they can be
installed safely at the beginning of the process as well just like apt
packages.
In this commit we basically start to override the request method of
httplib2.Http() to raise an exception whenever it is called i.e.
a trial is made to access the network from test suits.
Fixes: #1472.
This old third party library added support
for a "mousewheel" event to detect scrolling.
However, it is not compatible with jQuery 3
and is obsolete now that there is a standard
"wheel" event that accomplishes the same thing.
I found the new paragraph from 74d83cc47 somewhat hard to follow,
so here's another version. Also try to make the structure of
the rest of the section around it somewhat more clear.
This commit adds a new linter which runs from tools/travis/backend.
It runs over the translations.json file and checks if any of the
translatable string contains handlebars in it.
Fixes#5544
This started as a PSA in the form of a series of chat messages in
`#general` on chat.zulip.org; putting them here, with some editing,
to make their value more durable.
Also rearrange this doc slightly so that it's not specific to
the server codebase, except in a few explicit spots.
The bit that's for authors should probably be somewhere else.
I think there isn't right now a great natural spot for it --
probably the top of docs/git-guide, some parts of docs/version-control,
and that paragraph here should all turn into a top-level "guide
to submitting code to Zulip" doc, which would link to the rest
of docs/git-guide and to some other resources. Leaving that
for another day.
This follows up the recent commit
3d1d09b3d docs: Remove discussion of old Django templating engine.
with a small grammar fix and removing another vestige of making the
distinction between Jinja2 and Django templates, and also rearranges
the logic slightly to reflect that backend and frontend templates
have separate sections.
Probably a bigger restructuring is in order to help the reader
navigate through all the good content in this doc, but that's
a bigger job for another day.
