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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
This upgrade is designed to be fully backwards-compatible. Any icon names which have changed will be automatically remapped to the new name. For now, this will happen silently. In future, once core & official themes/plugins have been updated, we will start raising deprecation errors to help theme/plugin authors update their code.

This patch removes the `with_service` helper from the code base.
Instead, we can pass a block with actions directly to the `.call` method
of a service.
This simplifies how to use services:
- use `.call` without a block to run the service and get its result
object.
- use `.call` with a block of actions to run the service and execute
arbitrary code depending on the service outcome.
It also means a service is now “self-contained” and can be used anywhere
without having to include a helper or whatever.
Currently, categories support designating only 1 group as a moderation group on the category. This commit removes the one group limitation and makes it possible to designate multiple groups as mods on a category.
Internal topic: t/124648.
This commit introduces a new hidden site setting: `group_pm_user_limit`, default to `1000` which will raise an error when attempting to create a PM target a large group.
This will bring significant improvements to install speed & storage requirements. For information on how it may affect you, see https://meta.discourse.org/t/324521
This commit:
- removes the `yarn.lock` and replaces with `pnpm-lock.yaml`
- updates workspaces to pnpm format
- adjusts package dependencies to work with pnpm's stricter resolution strategy
- updates Rails app to load modules from more specific node_modules directories
- adds a `.pnpmfile` which automatically cleans up old yarn-managed `node_modules` directories
- updates various scripts to call `pnpm` instead of `yarn`
- updates patches to use pnpm's native patch system instead of patch-package
- adds a patch for licensee to support pnpm
Currently, when the default locale is Japanese, the search for a topic
using its URL, path or ID doesn’t work as expected. It will either
return wrong results or no result at all.
The problem lies with how we process the provided terms in Japanese
mode. For example, if `http://localhost/t/-/55` is provided, currently
this will result in `http localhost t 5 5` to be searched for.
This patch addresses the issue by checking whether the provided term
needs segmenting. If the provided term is a number, or a path or a full
URL, then it doesn’t need segmenting. When that happens we skip the
processing we normally apply for Japanese, making the search return the
expected results.
A new setting attribute is used to define the areas (separated by `|`).
In addition, endpoint `/admin/config/site_settings.json` accepts new `filter_area` data.
This commit will allow plugin developers to enable/disable the custom homepage.
Usage:
```ruby
register_modifier(:custom_homepage_enabled) do |enabled, args|
true
end
```
Args might contain request and/or current_user.

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.
What did this fix?
===============
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 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.
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
expected.
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 has been split out from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28051
so we can use this same code in plugin specs before merging the core PR,
adds some helpers for creating local backup temp files
and cleaning them up.
* DEV: Removal of create_post_for_category_and_tag_changes setting
reverting commit: #65f35e1
and adding a migration to remove the setting
ref: t/132320
* DEV: change checks for zeros to check for nils
* DEV: remove create_post_for_category_and_tag_changes migration file
If anything goes wrong, we can always revert back to the previous state.
### 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
```

Adds a new statistics (hidden from the UI, but available via the API) that tracks daily participating users.
A user is considered as "participating" if they have
- Reacted to a post
- Replied to a topic
- Created a new topic
- Created a new PM
- Sent a chat message
- Reacted to a chat message

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.
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.
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`.
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.

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.
