Makes it easier to reach the group from the category security
tab, and moves the trash button to the right to avoid misclicks.
Also converts the category permission row to gjs
This is a follow-up of d749227e87.
This patch checks if the key `not_found` is present on the result object
instead of calling `#blank?` on the model, as it can trigger an
`ActiveRecord` relation.
To test the restricted routing when filling up required fields, we fill up the field and then navigate to the root path and checking that we're not redirected.
This is somewhat flaky, and the screenshot shows we are back at the profile page, without any prompt to fill up fields.
My hypothesis is in cases where the backend is "slow" to respond, we're navigating away from the page before the request finishes (which will redirect back to the profile page.)
This PR adds an expectation after saving, to wait until the unrestricted profile page is rendered, before navigating away.
This commit changes the cutoff number for the admins and mods lists on the new /about page from 12 to 6. If the admins or mods lists are bigger than 6, the about page will display the 6 most recently seen admins/mods, and tuck the rest away behind a "view more" button.
Given we are a single-page-app, we hijack the browser's default behavior
for keyboard shortcuts like End because on long topics (20+ posts) we
need to load the last post before really reaching the end of the page.
However, when the last post is already rendered, the End shortcut
currently does nothing, it takes the user to the start of the last post.
If that post is too long, the user will have to scroll down manually.
This change ensures that if the last post of a topic is already rendered
(whether it is in the viewport or not), pressing End will take the user
to the very bottom of the page.
Note for the reviewer: the test added here is for the general case, it
is too hard to test the case where the last post is already rendered,
that isn't covered here.

The previous commit added an `after_create` callback that triggers a refresh for the user directory whenever a `User` record is created. Theoretically, this approach should work, however, there's a gotcha in practice, because during a real user registration, when the `User` record is created in the database, it's not marked as active until the user verifies their email address and the user directory excludes inactive users, so the initial directory refresh triggered by the `after_create` callback becomes pointless.
To make a new user appear in the user directory immediately after sign up, we need to trigger a refresh via an `after_save` callback when they verify their email address and become active.
Currently, `FlagSerializer#short_description` properly provides
`base_path` to its translations, but `FlagSerializer#description` does
not. This breaks the link to guidelines when flagging a post, for
example.
This patch provides `base_path` for `FlagSerializer#description` too.
Prior this fix a topic created in the future could generate this exception:
```
Job exception: ERROR: a negative number raised to a non-integer power yields a complex result
```
This fix and spec should ensure we don't consider topics in the future as the rest of the `update_scores` function is doing at other places.
This check was checking the wrong scope, causing problems in certain edge conditions, for example:
1. Admin adds an "on signup" field that isn't editable after signup.
2. Admin adds a "for all users" field.
3. User goes and fills up the "for all users" field from 2.
4. User is now stuck on the required fields page without any fields showing.
With this change, we only consider "for all users" fields when asking if required custom fields are filled in.
Covers the use case of doing this in composer:
```javascript
page.execute_script("document.querySelector('.d-editor-input').setSelectionRange(6, 12);")
```
When searching for site texts for admin using the english
version of the text, previously we would show the english
version in the results _even if_ there was another locale
translated version available when a locale was selected
from the dropdown.
This commit adds a "Only show results in selected locale"
checkbox option which will instead make it so the results
shown are in the target locale, making it easier for translators
to tell when there is actually translations vs. missing tranlsations.

The change introduced above made it so the expired
bookmark reminders were cleared when using the bulk
action menu for bookmarks. However this also affected
clearing reminders for bookmarks when sending notifications.
When clearing bookmark reminders after sending notifications,
we take into account the auto delete preference:
* never - The bookmark `reminder_at` date should not be cleared,
and the bookmark is kept.
* clear_reminder - The bookmark `reminder_at` date is cleared and
the bookmark is kept
The `never` option made it so "expired" bookmark reminder show
on the user's bookmark list.
This commit fixes the change from the other commit and only
forces clearing of `reminder_at` if using the bookmark bulk
action service.
If there is a codec issue or something trying to process a video file
for thumbnail generation, uploads could hang indefinitely. This fix
ensures that we continue the upload process even if we encounter an
error trying to generate a thumbnail for it.
If you’re viewing a tag and you switch to a different tag via the sidebar or the tags dropdown, after expanding the info section of the tag page via the wrench button, the info section keeps showing the previous tag's details instead of the new one.
This happens because the tag info section makes an ajax request to load the tag's details, and this request is made inside the `didInsertElement` hook which is only fired once when the component is rendered. To fix this, we need to set the result from the ajax request to null and add a `didUpdateAttrs` hook to trigger another request to load the info of the new tag.

This change is preventing the "is dirty check" from happening when clicking delete on this form. This was not good UX and was also causing bugs by leaving the form in a unexpected state.
This commit improves `TopicsController#show` to not load suggested and
related topics unless it is the last page of the topic's view.
Previously, we avoided loading suggested and related topics by the use
of conditionals in the `TopicViewSerializer` to avoid calling
`TopicView#suggested_topics` and `TopicView#related_topics`. However,
this pattern is not reliable as the methods can still be called from
other spots in the code base. Instead, we ensure that
`TopicView#include_suggested` and `TopicView#include_related` is set
correctly on the instance of `TopicView` which ensures that for the
given instance, `TopicView#suggested_topics` and
`TopicView#related_topics` will be a noop.
Previous to this change there is no clean way to apply keyboard shortcuts
to things such as "add poll" and other hidden options in the toolbar
This allows shortcuts to be specified similar to how they are on the toolbar

If we don't get a `videoWidth` back for a video don't try and generate a
thumbnail for it.
Also as part of this change I switched getImageData, the function
throwing the error, to use video.videoWidth instead of canvas.width
because it's very likely we were setting canvas.width too early before
the width could be read. Now that we are reading the value inside of the
setTimeout hopefully we will actually have a width. Just incase we don't
detect a width we will now exit early instead of throwing an error.
We only need to check for `0` and not null because the value is an
integer and will always return a 0 if it can't be read. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLVideoElement/videoWidth

Previously, we only triggered this event in the `user.logged_out` method.
This resulted in the event being triggered only when the user was logged
out by the administrator or the site had strict logout mode enabled.
This bug affected customers who managed user status via webhooks.

This commit moves the business logic in the `Admin::UsersController#suspend` and `Admin::UsersController#silence` actions to dedicated service classes. There's no functional changes in this commit.
Internal topic: t/130014.
This commit implements 2 new metrics/stats in the /about page for the _estimated_ numbers of unique visitors from the EU and the rest of the world. This new feature is currently off by default, but it can be enabled by turning on the hidden `display_eu_visitor_stats` site settings via the rails console.
There are a number of assumptions that we're making here in order to estimate the number of unique visitors, specifically:
1. we're assuming that the average of page views per anonymous visitor is similar to the average number of page views that a logged-in visitor makes, and
2. we're assuming that the ratio of logged in visitors from the EU is similar to the ratio of anonymous visitors from the EU
Discourse keeps track of the number of both logged-in and anonymous page views, and also the number of unique logged-in visitors and where they're from. So with those numbers and the assumptions above, we can estimate the number of unique anonymous visitors from the EU and the rest of the world.
Internal topic: t/128480.
We need a way to disable certain checks programatically, e.g. on Discourse hosting. This PR adds a configuration option for this, and makes it so that disabled checks aren't run as part of #run_all.
This patch allows using an AR relation as a model in services without
fetching associated records. It will just check if the relation is empty
or not. In the former case, the execution will stop at that point, as

This commit introduces a new frontend API to add custom items to the "Site activity" section in the new /about page. The new API is called `addAboutPageActivity` and it works along side the `register_stat` serve-side API which serializes the data that the frontend API consumes. More details of how the two APIs work together is in the JSDoc comment above the API function definition.
Internal topic: t/128545/9.
This commit fixes a bug where the silence button is incorrectly displayed on the admin page of a staff user. It's not actually possible to silence a staff user because the backend correctly prevents it, but the frontend isn't checking if the button should be displayed.
Another small bug that this commit fixes is the similar users list not showing up inside the silence/suspend modals due to also a bug in the frontend.
I've also changed the way similar users are loaded so that they're not returned by the `admin/users#show` endpoint anymore and moved them into a new endpoint that the penalize modals (suspend and silence) can call directly to retrieve the list of users. This is done because the similar users list is never shown on the admin user page (`/admin/users/:user_id/:username`); they're only needed when the suspend or silence modals are opened.
Internal topic: t/130014.
Currently the push_notification_time_window_mins is set to 10
minutes by default. We want to change this to 1 minute, which is the
delay it has been set to on meta and our internal site already for over
a year now.
This conforms to the expectation users have that notifications are
delivered close to immediately.
This commit converts the Backups page in the admin interface
to follow our new admin interface guidelines.
As part of this work, I've also made `AdminPageHeader` and `AdminPageSubheader`
components that can be reused on any admin page for consistency, that handle
the title and action buttons and also breadcrumbs.
Also renamed `AdminPluginFilteredSiteSettings` to `AdminFilteredSiteSettings` since
it can be used generally to show a subset of filtered site settings, not only
settings for a plugin. Not sure if it's ideal to have to define a new route for this
for every config area, but not sure how else to do it right now.
This commit fixes two codepaths which where incorrectly working with capitalized usernames as we were doing a mix of username_lower and non lower username.
Also adds two specs for these cases.
This patch removes two freedom patches:
- `mail_disable_starttls.rb`: this has been fixed in the 2.8 release of
the mail gem, so we don’t need it anymore.
- `rails4.rb`: those methods have been deprecated for a while now and
should have been dropped with Discourse v3.2.
This commit adds a blue dot next to the "What's New"
link in the admin sidebar if the user has not seen the
new features yet, as a followup to 3e5976f843
which removed the tab on the dashboard that had this same
functionality.
When the admin visits the "What's New" page they count
as having seen all the features straight away. This could
be something we want to change, but for now this keeps the
same functionality.

We used to show New Features in a tab on the dashboard,
but this could get pushed down the page especially on
our hosting. In 043117ca13
we made a separate What's New page, so this commit removes

send the admin to /admin/whats-new instead of the dashboard
tab.

This commit fixes a bug in the redesigned about page where if there's no banner image configured for the page, the top of the page where the banner goes is occupied with large white space. Additionally, this commit also fixes a related bug in the admin config area for the /about page where it's not possible to remove the uploaded banner image.
### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```
When upgrading to Rails 7.1, we had some problems because we were using
several tagged loggers at the same time. They were all added to the main
broadcast logger shipped with Rails, but the Rails 7.1 codebase contains
a bug making a request being run as many times as there are tagged loggers.
The fix was to use the code from the Rails 7.2 codebase.
This patch adds a small spec to ensure the behavior will stay the proper
one in the future.
This change ensures native push notifications respect the site setting for push_notification_time_window_mins. Previously only web push notifications would account for the delay, now we can bring more consistency between Discourse in browser vs Hub, by applying the same delay strategy to both forms of push notifications.

This commit continues on work laid out by 6039b513fe to redesign the /about page. In this commit, we add sections for showing the site admins and moderators.
The lists of admins and moderators display the 10 most recently seen admins/moderators, with a button to display the rest of admins or moderators. Admins or moderators that have not logged in to the site in the last year will not be shown. Clicking on an admin's or moderator's name/avatar will show their user card.
In development, Ember raises an error when previously-used values are updated during a render. This is to avoid 'backtracking', where parts of templates have to be re-rendered multiple times. In general, this kind of pattern should be avoided, and Ember's warning helps us do that.
However, for the deprecation warning banner, it is quite reasonable for some rendering to trigger a deprecation, and thereby require the global-notice to be re-rendered. We can use our `DeferredTrackedSet` to achieve that. Its `.add` method will delay adding an item to the Set until after the current render has completed.
Very similar to move up/down flag problem fixed here - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28272
Those are the steps to toggle the flag:
1. click toggle - `saving` CSS class is added;
2. request to backend;
3. `saving` CSS class is removed.
And check if the flag was toggle was:
```ruby
def has_saved_flag?(key)
has_css?(".admin-flag-item.#{key}.saving")
has_no_css?(".admin-flag-item.#{key}.saving")
end
```
If the save action is very fast, then the saving class is removed before the first check.
Therefore I decided to invert it, and once action is finished add `saved` CSS class.
Then we can have a quick positive check:
```ruby
def has_saved_flag?(key)
has_css?(".admin-flag-item.#{key}.saved")
end
```
Currently, in the list controller, when encountering an unsafe redirect
error, a 404 is rendered. The problem is that it’s done in a way that it
also logs a fatal error (because a `Discourse::NotFound` exception was
raised inside a `rescue_from` block).
This patch addresses that issue by simply rendering a 404 without
raising any error.
This commit adds a `MiniSchedulerLongRunningJobLogger` class which will
poll every 60 seconds for mini_scheduler jobs which are stuck. When it
detects that a job is stuck, it will log a warning message with the
current backtrace of the thread that is executing the job.
Note that for scheduled jobs which are executed at a frequency of less
than 30 minutes, we will log when the job has been executing for 30
minutes.
For scheduled jobs executed at a frequency of less than 2 hours, we will
log when the job has been executing for a duration greater than its
specified frequency.
For scheduled jobs executed at a frequency greater than 2 hours, we will
log as long as the job has been executing for more than 2 hours.
Those are the steps to move the flag:
1. open menu;
2. click move up - `saving` CSS class is added;
3. request to backend;
4. `saving` CSS class is removed.
To check if the action was finished we are using this method:
```
def move_up(key)
open_flag_menu(key)
find(".admin-flag-item__move-up").click
has_saved_flag?(key)
self
end
def has_saved_flag?(key)
has_css?(".admin-flag-item.#{key}.saving")
has_no_css?(".admin-flag-item.#{key}.saving")
end
```
However, sometimes specs were failing with `expected to find CSS ".admin-flag-item.spam.saving" but there were no matches`
I think that the problem is with those 2 lines:
```
find(".admin-flag-item__move-up").click
has_closed_flag_menu?
```
If the save action is very fast, then the `saving` class is removed before the first check.
Therefore, to determine that the move action is finished, I am checking if the menu is closed.
Currently, when a badly named category slug is provided, it can lead to
an infinite redirect.
This patch addresses the issue by properly unescaping `request.fullpath`
so the path is successfully rewritten and the redirect happens as
expected.
Currently to handle stub topics after merging, there are only options to (1) never delete a stub topic and (2) delete a stub topic after X amount of days. This adds the option to immediately delete a stub topic upon merge.

This commit continues on work laid out by 6039b513fe to redesign the /about page. In this commit, we add the site age and a section on the right hand side to show site activities/statistics such as topics, posts, sign-ups, likes etc.
Following a recent refactor, some methods from `FlagSettings` have been
renamed (`custom_types` -> `additional_message_types`). The
`PostActionType` model was using `custom_types` but when the renaming
was done, it was renamed to `with_additional_message` instead of
`additional_message_types`, which under the right circumstances will
raise an error.
Admin can create up to 50 custom flags. It is limited for performance reasons.
When the limit is reached "Add button" is disabled and backend is protected by guardian.
This commit patches `Net::HTTP` to reduce the default timeouts of 60
seconds when we are processing a request. There are certain routes in
Discourse which makes external requests and if the proper timeouts are
not set, we risk having the Unicorn master process force restarting the
Unicorn workers once the `30` seconds timeout is reached. This can
potentially become a vector for DoS attacks and this commit is aimed at
reducing the risk here.
We support a low-level construct called "inline checks", which you can use to register a problem ad-hoc from within application code.
Problems registered by inline checks never show up in the admin dashboard, this is because when loading the dashboard, we run all realtime checks and look for problems. Because of an oversight, we considered inline checks to be "realtime", causing them to be run and clear their problem status.
To fix this, we don't consider inline checks to be realtime, to prevent them from running when loading the admin dashboard.
This change is mainly a refactor of the desktop notifications service to improve readability and have standardised values for tracking state for current user in regards to the Notification API and Push API.
Also improves readability when handling push notification jobs, especially in scenarios where the push_notification_time_window_mins site setting is set to 0, which will allow sending push notifications instantly.
We were writing theme-transpiler JS files to the filesystem on a per-process basis, and then immediately reading them back in. Plus, there was no cleanup mechanism, so the tmp directory would grow indefinitely.
This commit refactors things so that the `build.js` script outputs the theme-transpiler source to stdout. That way, we can read it directly into the process, and then into mini-racer, without needing to go via the filesystem. No cleanup required!
In production, the theme-transpiler is still cached in a file during `assets:precompile`
In the formkit conversion in 2ca06ba236
we missed setting a type for the UppyImageUploader for badges. Also,
we were not passing down the `image_url` as form data, so when we used
`data.image` for that field the badge was not updating in the UI after
page loads and the image URL was not loading for preview.

Before this commit, running `rspec --seed 22953 --format documentation spec/requests/admin/site_texts_controller_spec.rb:191 spec/lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator_spec.rb:109` will fail.
Setting `I18n.config.available_locales` is equivalent to hard coding the
locales for the entire process. It should not be set so that `I18n` will
fallback to `backend.locales`.
Sometimes the backtrace is quite big for failing specs, this env var
(RSPEC_EXCLUDE_NOISE_IN_BACKTRACE) can be set to
1 to remove backtrace from anything but spec or application code in
rspec. This makes it easier to see where the actual failure is
coming from, most of the time all the gem paths are noise.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
When `SiteSetting.review_every_post` is true and the category `require_topic_approval` system creates two reviewable items.
1. Firstly, because the category needs approval, the `ReviewableQueuePost` record` is created - at this stage, no topic is created.
2. Admin is approving the review. The topic and first post are created.
3. Because `review_every_post` is true `queue_for_review_if_possible` callback is evaluated and `ReviewablePost` is created.
4. Then `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the newly generated topic and post.
At the beginning, we were thinking about hooking to those guards:
```
def self.queue_for_review_if_possible(post, created_or_edited_by)
return unless SiteSetting.review_every_post
return if post.post_type != Post.types[:regular] || post.topic.private_message?
return if Reviewable.pending.where(target: post).exists?
...
```
And add something like
```
return if Reviewable.approved.where(target: post).exists?
```
However, because the callback happens in point 3. before the `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the `Topic`, it was not possible.
Therefore, when `ReviewableQueuePost` is creating a `Topic`, a new option called `:reviewed_queued_post` is passed to `PostCreator` to avoid creating a second `Reviewable`.
Currently, descriptions for flag types aren’t interpolated, returning
`%{base_path}` in their string, for example. This breaks the navigation
on the sites.
The behavior changed probably because of an upgrade of Ruby, as two
hashes were passed to `I18n.t` (`vars` and `default`) without using the
splat operator.
When using `Discourse.cache.fetch` with an expiry, there's a potential for a race condition due to how we read the data from redis.
The code used to be
```ruby
raw = redis.get(key) if !force
entry = read_entry(key) if raw
return entry if raw && !(entry == :__corrupt_cache__)
```
with `read_entry` defined as follow
```ruby
def read_entry(key)
if data = redis.get(key)
Marshal.load(data)
end
rescue => e
:__corrupt_cache__
end
```
If the value at "key" expired in redis between `raw = redis.get` and `entry = read_entry`, the `entry` variable would be `nil` despite `raw` having a value.
We would then proceed to return `entry` (which is `nil`) thinking it had a value, when it didn't.
The first `redis.get` can be skipped altogether and we can rely only on `read_entry` to read the data from redis. Thus avoiding the race condition and removing the double read operations.

In certain config areas (like About) we want to be able
to fetch specific site settings by name. In this case,
sometimes we need to be able to fetch hidden settings,
in cases where a config area is still experimental.
Splitting out a different endpoint for this purpose
allows us to be stricter with what we return for config
areas without affecting the main site settings UI, revealing
hidden settings before they are ready.
Since switching to Maxmind permalinks to download the databases in
7079698cdf, we have received multiple
reports about rebuilds failing as `maxminddb:refresh` runs during
the rebuilds and failing to download the databases cases the rebuilds to
fail.
Downloading Maxmind databases should not sit in the critical rebuild
path but since we are close to the Discourse 3.3 release, we have opted
to just rescue all errors encountered when downloading the databases.
In the near future after the Discourse 3.3 release, we will be looking
at moving the downloading of maxmind databases out of the rebuild path.
