There have been too many flaky tests as a result of leaking state in
Redis so it is easier to resolve them by ensuring we flush Redis'
database.
Locally on my machine, calling `Discourse.redis.flushdb` takes around
0.1ms which means this change will have very little impact on test
runtimes.
While using `OpenStruct` is nice, it’s generally not a very good idea as
it usually leads to performance problems.
The `OpenStruct` source code even says basically to avoid it.
Since the context object is crucial in our services, this patch replaces
`OpenStruct` with a custom implementation instead.
Because of unreliability, the spec was temporarily disabled. However, it is ensuring that the custom flags system is working correctly. Therefore it would be great to enable it again.
I made a few fixes to try to mitigate this situation:
- Reduced amount of Redis calls;
- When deleting, ensure that the modal is closed before checking the result;
- Moved duplicated name tests to a separate block;
- Increased wait time to 3 times the default because I noticed that sometimes it gets stuck for a moment. Most of the time it is fast, but sometimes when I run tests in a loop 50 times I see slowness.
Dismissing admin notices is an admin-only action. This is enforced on the back-end both by a routing constraint and a policy in the relevant service.
However, we still unconditionally display the "Dismiss" button to anyone with access to the admin dashboard. When clicked, it results in a 404 modal (due to the routing constraint.)
With this change we only render the dismiss button for admins.
If you have the admin dashboard open, and one of the admin notices listed has already been dismissed (e.g. in another tab, or by another admin) we would show an ugly "FAILED" modal.
This change makes the admin dismiss endpoint idempotent. If the admin notice is already destroyed, then respond with 200. This will also correctly remove it from the list in the front-end.
When a post has some replies, and the user click on the button to show them, we would load ALL the replies. This could lead to DoS if there were a very large number of replies.
This adds support for pagination to these post replies.

FIX: Duplicated parent posts
DEV: Query refactor
XHR requests are handled differently by the application and the
responses do not have any preloaded data so the cache key needs to
differntiate between those requests.
Currently, when the MessageFormat compiler fails on some translations,
we just have the raw output from the compiler in the logs and that’s not
always very helpful.
Now, when there is an error, we iterate over the translation keys and
try to compile them one by one. When we detect one that is failing, it’s
added to a list that is now outputted in the logs. That way, it’s easier
to know which keys are not properly translated, and the problems can be
addressed quicker.
I think the check for the bookmark icon is too optimistic,
so the DB might not be updated by the time we check. Using
try_until_success should fix this, we also don't have a
toast to check against via AJAX success, by design.
Currently in services, the `contract` step is only used to define where
the contract will be called in the execution flow. Then, a `Contract`
class has to be defined with validations in it.
This patch allows the `contract` step to take a block containing
validations, attributes, etc. directly. No need to then open a
`Contract` class later in the service.
It also has a nice side effect, as it’s now easy to define multiples
contracts inside the same service. Before, we had the `class_name:`
option, but it wasn’t really useful as you had to redefine a complete
new contract class.
Now, when using a name for the contract other than `default`, a new
contract will be created automatically using the provided name.
Example:
```ruby
contract(:user) do
attribute :user_id, :integer
validates :user_id, presence: true
end
```
This will create a `UserContract` class and use it, also putting the
resulting contract in `context[:user_contract]`.
Previously admins could still click on topics when `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` was set
This change improves the block so admins without permission will not be allowed to click through till they add themselves to appropriate groups
Keep in mind this setting is a quality of life setting and not a SECURITY
setting, admins have an infinite way of bypassing visiblity limits
After #28603, the options "agree and suspend" and "agree and silence" in the review queue weren't working. This was happening because the optionalService, when used as a decorator, needs a name argument to work properly. We were also lacking tests for this.
This commit introduces a feature that allows an admin to delete a user's
associated account. After deletion, a log will be recorded in staff
actions.
ref=t/136675
Permanently deleting posts that no longer have a user associated was not
working as expected because of UserAction.log which expected user_id to
be present.
With the current implementation, a service step can be written as:
```ruby
def my_step(a_default_value: 2)
…
end
```
That’s a pattern we want to avoid as default values (if needed) should
be probably defined in a contract.
This patch makes a service raise an exception if a default value is
encountered.
Currently, when certain search terms are provided, this can lead to
`Search.need_segmenting?` raising an error because it makes `URI#path`
to return `nil` instead of a string.
This patch forces a cast to string so it won’t raise anymore.
This will help to enforce a consistent pattern for creating service
actions.
This patch also namespaces actions and policies, making everything
related to a service available directly in
`app/services/<concept-name>`, making things more consistent at that
level too.
When running checks, we look to the existing problem check trackers and try to grab their ProblemCheck classes.
In some cases this is no longer in the problem check repository, e.g. when the check was part of a plugin that has been uninstalled.
In the case where the check was scheduled, this would lead to an error in one of the jobs
his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
In TopicController, in addition to ensure_can_move_posts!, we also
checked if the topic is private message in this line:
```ruby
raise Discourse::InvalidAccess if params[:archetype] == "private_message" && !guardian.is_staff?
```
However, this was not present in `guardian.can_move_posts?`. As a result,
the frontend topic view got an incorrect serialized result, thinking
that TL4 could move the private message post. In fact, once they tried
to move it, they got the `InvalidAccess` error message.
This commit fixes that TL4 will no longer sees the "move to" option in
the "select post" panel for a private message.
Anonymous users are "shadow" users created when an existing real user desires to post anonymously. This feature is off by default, but it can be enabled via the `allow_anonymous_posting` site setting. Those shadow users shouldn't be included in the users directory (`/u`).
In 14cf8eacf1, we added the
`user_search_similar_results` site setting which when enabled will use
trigram matching for similarity search in `UserSearch`. However, we
noted that adding the `index_users_on_username_lower_trgm` index is
causing the PG planner to not use the `index_users_on_username_lower`
index when the `=` operator is used against the `username_lower` column.
Based on the PG mailing list discussion where support for the `=`
operator in gist_trgm_ops was being considered, it stated that "I also have checked that btree_gist is preferred over pg_trgm gist
index for equality search." This is however quite different from reality
on our own PG clusters where the btree index is not preferred leading to
significantly slower queries when the `=` operator is used.
Since the pg_trgm gist index is only used for queries when the `user_search_similar_results` site setting
is enabled, we decided to drop the feature instead as it is hidden and
disabled by default. As such, we can consider it experiemental and drop
it without deprecation.

The user directory (`/u`) excludes inactive and silenced users from the list, so for the sake parity, it makes sense to also exclude those users from the /about page stats.

- fetch models inside services
- validate `user_id` in contracts
- use policy objects
- extract more logic to actions
- write specs for services and action
Adds support for `input-date` field when calling
`fill_in` on a FormKit field. Capybara supports passing
a Date object to `fill_in(with: value)` for date inputs,
so there is nothing fancy that needs to be done to support this.

This was happening because another spec was adding a
report using the plugin API, but there was nothing
resetting that, so later in the reports controller
when we did Report.singleton_methods, we ended up
with another report with no translation, causing another
error.
The user option 'hide_profile_and_presence' is necessary to figure out
if the user status has to be displayed or not. In order to avoid N+1s
generated by `include_status?` method, both `user_status` and
`user_option` relations have to be included.
`track_sql_queries` only returned queries that were executed by
ActiveRecord. All queries executed through DB.exec, DB.query and others
were not returned.
Currently, when the custom flag has the same name as the system flag (which is disabled) then it is not displayed. To fix the problem, `custom_` prefix as `name_key` is used to distinguish between the system and the custom flag.
I considered writing a migration to fix existing custom flags name key. However, at the end of migration I would need to run rails code to reset cache `Flag.reset_flag_settings!`. I decided to skip that step as it is a very edge case. If someone has the same flag name as the system flag, then all they have to do is edit the flag and click save.
In addition, I made 2 small fixes:
- edit flag title was missing translation;
- flag form UI was not showing that description is the required field.
The Report model spec was directly adding methods
to the Report class, which was causing errors in the
admin reports controller because it would look for
a translation of the report name (e.g. report_timeout_test)
like so `I18n.t("reports.#{type}.title")`, then get an
error because the translation did not exist.
This is fixed by using `Report.stubs` instead, which is
cleaned up after every test.
This commit adds a new `about_page_hidden_groups` setting to exclude members of specific groups from the admin and moderator lists on the /about page.

### UI changes
All of the UI changes described are gated behind the `use_legacy_pageviews`
site setting.
This commit changes the admin dashboard pageviews report to
use the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection" report
introduced in 2f2da72747 with
the following changes:
* The report name is changed to "Site traffic"
* The pageview count on the dashboard is counting only using the new method
* The old "Consolidated Pageviews" report is renamed as "Consolidated Legacy Pageviews"
* By default "known crawlers" and "other" sources of pageviews are hidden on the report
When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `true`, we do not show or allow running
the "Site traffic" report for admins. When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `false`,
we do not show or allow running the following legacy reports:
* consolidated_page_views
* consolidated_page_views_browser_detection
* page_view_anon_reqs
* page_view_logged_in_reqs
### Historical data changes
Also part of this change is that, since we introduced our new "Consolidated
Pageviews with Browser Detection" report, some admins are confused at either:
* The lack of data before a certain date , which didn’t exist before
we started collecting it
* Comparing this and the current "Consolidated Pageviews" report data,
which rolls up "Other Pageviews" into "Anonymous Browser" and so it
appears inaccurate
All pageview data in the new report before the date where the _first_
anon or logged in browser pageview was recorded is now hidden.
