When invoking e.g. `can_see?(Foo.new)`, the guardian checks if there's a method `#can_see_foo?` defined and if so uses that to determine whether the user can see it or not.
When such a method is not defined, the guardian currently returns `true`, but it is probably a better call (pun intended) to make it "safe by default" and return `false` instead. I.e. if you can't explicitly see it, you can't see it at all.
This change makes the change to `Guardian#can_see?` to fall back to `false` if no visibility check method is defined.
For `#can_see_user?` and `#can_see_tag?` we don't have any particular logic that prevents viewing. We previously relied on the implicit `true` value, but since that's now change to `false`, I have explicitly implemented these two methods in `UserGuardian` and `TagGuardian` modules. If in the future we want to add some logic for it, this would be the place.
To be clear, **the behaviour remains the same**, but the `true` value is now explicit rather than implicit.
We were only supporting the main name of each HighlightJS language. So, by default, you could not use `js` or `jsx` to highlight Javascript, given they are aliases for `javascript`.
This PR adds a list of aliases as a constant to core (built via a rake task), and then checks against the `highlighted_languages` site settings plus the list of aliases when processing a code block.
This commit 57caf08e13 broke
`bin/turbo_rspec` timing recording via `TurboTests::Runner`,
because we changed to using all `spec/*` folders except
`spec/system` as default for the runner, rather than
the old `['spec']` array, which is what `TurboTests::Runner`
was relying on to determine whether to record test run
time with `ParallelTests::RSpec::RuntimeLogger`.
Instead, we can just pass a new `use_runtime_info` boolean to the
runner class and use it when running against the default set of
spec files using `bin/turbo_rspec` and the turbo rspec rake task.
The current default timeout is hardcoded to 2 seconds which is proving
too low for certain cases, and resulting in sporadic timeouts due to slow DNS queries.
As of ba3f62f576, handlebars templates are colocated with js files so the path to hbs templates referenced by this rake task is no longer valid. This commit fixes the path to hbs templates and updates a couple of files that are generated by the rake task.
We call `post.update_uploads_secure_status` in both
`PostCreator` and `PostRevisor`. Only the former was checking
if `SiteSetting.secure_uploads?` was enabled, but the latter
was not. There is no need to enqueue the job
`UpdatePostUploadsSecureStatus` if secure_uploads is not
enabled for the site.
- Reduce duplication of terms in post index from unlimited to 6. This will
result in reduced index size and reduced weighting for posts containing
a huge amount of duplicate terms. (Eg: a post containing "sam sam sam sam
sam sam sam sam", will index as "sam sam sam sam sam sam", only including
the word up to 6 times.) This corrects a flaw where title weighting could
be ignored.
- Prioritize exact matches of words in titles. Our search always performs
a prefix match. However we want to give special weight to exact title matches
meaning that a search for "sum" will find topics such as "the sum of us" vs
"summer in spring".
- Pick up fixes to our search algorithm which are missing from old indexes.
Specifically pick up the fix that indexes URLs properly. (`https://happy.com`
was stemmed to `happi` in keywords and then was not searchable)
see also:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/refinements-to-search-being-tested-on-meta/254158
Indexing will take a while and work in batches, in the background.
* Add username and name_or_username variables to SystemMessage defaults
* Allow username and name variables on welcome_user email template overrides
* Satisfy linting
* Add test
This commit adds backend support for a new topics list that combines both the current unread and new topics lists. We're going to experiment with this new list (name TBD) internally and decide if this feature is something that we want to fully build.
Internal topic: t/77234.
Currently, clicking on the unsubscribe link with a `key` associated with a
deleted topic results in an HTTP 500 response.
This change fixes that by skipping any attempt to run topic related flow if topic
isn't present.
* FIX: do not notify admins on suppressed categories
Avoid notifying admins on categories where they are not explicitly members
in cases where SiteSetting.suppress_secured_categories_from_admin is
enabled.
This helps keep notification stream clean and avoids admins mistakenly
being invited to discussions that should be suppressed
This is a combined work of Martin Brennan, Loïc Guitaut, and Joffrey Jaffeux.

This commit implements a base service object when working in chat. The documentation is available at https://discourse.github.io/discourse/chat/backend/Chat/Service.html
Generating documentation has been made as part of this commit with a bigger goal in mind of generally making it easier to dive into the chat project.
Working with services generally involves 3 parts:
- The service object itself, which is a series of steps where few of them are specialized (model, transaction, policy)
```ruby
class UpdateAge
include Chat::Service::Base
model :user, :fetch_user
policy :can_see_user
contract
step :update_age
class Contract
attribute :age, :integer
end
def fetch_user(user_id:, **)
User.find_by(id: user_id)
end
def can_see_user(guardian:, **)
guardian.can_see_user(user)
end
def update_age(age:, **)
user.update!(age: age)
end
end
```
- The `with_service` controller helper, handling success and failure of the service within a service and making easy to return proper response to it from the controller
```ruby
def update
with_service(UpdateAge) do
on_success { render_serialized(result.user, BasicUserSerializer, root: "user") }
end
end
```
- Rspec matchers and steps inspector, improving the dev experience while creating specs for a service
```ruby
RSpec.describe(UpdateAge) do
subject(:result) do
described_class.call(guardian: guardian, user_id: user.id, age: age)
end
fab!(:user) { Fabricate(:user) }
fab!(:current_user) { Fabricate(:admin) }
let(:guardian) { Guardian.new(current_user) }
let(:age) { 1 }
it { expect(user.reload.age).to eq(age) }
end
```
Note in case of unexpected failure in your spec, the output will give all the relevant information:
```
1) UpdateAge when no channel_id is given is expected to fail to find a model named 'user'
Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to fail_to_find_a_model(:user) }
Expected model 'foo' (key: 'result.model.user') was not found in the result object.
[1/4] [model] 'user' ❌
[2/4] [policy] 'can_see_user'
[3/4] [contract] 'default'
[4/4] [step] 'update_age'

The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
Ember CLI will automatically run babel transformations in parallel when the config is 'serializable', and can therefore be applied in multiple processes automatically. If any plugin is defined in an unserializable way, parallelisation will be disabled.
Our discourse-widget-hbs transformer was causing parallelisation to be disabled. This commit fixes that, and also enables the throwUnlessParallelizable flag so that we catch this kind of issue more easily in future.
This commit also refactors our deprecation silencing system into its own file, and uses a fake babel plugin to ensure deprecations are silenced in babel worker processes.
In our GitHub CI jobs, this doubles the speed of ember builds (1m30s -> 45s). It should also improve production deploy times, and cold-start dev builds.
This PR is a major change to Sass compilation in Discourse.
The new version of sass-ruby moves to dart-sass putting we back on the supported version of Sass. It does so while keeping compatibility with the existing method signatures, so minimal change is needed in Discourse for this change.
This moves us
From:
- sassc 2.0.1 (Feb 2019)
- libsass 3.5.2 (May 2018)
To:
- dart-sass 1.58
This update applies the following breaking changes:
>
> These breaking changes are coming soon or have recently been released:
>
> [Functions are stricter about which units they allow](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/breaking-changes/function-units) beginning in Dart Sass 1.32.0.

Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
Previously due to an error archived topics were more prominent in search
than closed topics.
This amends our internal logic to ensure archived topics are bumped down
the list.
Previously to_tsquery would split terms and join with &
In PG 14 terms are split and use <-> which means followed directly by.
In PG 13:
discourse_test=# SELECT to_tsquery('english', '''hello world''');
to_tsquery
---------------------
'hello' & 'world'
(1 row)
In PG 14:
discourse_test=# SELECT to_tsquery('english', '''hello world''');
to_tsquery
---------------------
'hello' <-> 'world'
(1 row)
Change is very unobtrosive, we simply amend our to_tsquery to behave like
it used to behave and make no use of the `<->` operator
More detail at: https://akorotkov.github.io/blog/2021/05/22/pg-14-query-parsing/
Note that plainto_tsquery used elsewhere in Discourse keeps the exact
same function.
This also corrects a faulty test that was passing by a fluke on older
version of PG
We've had a couple of problems with the R2 gem where it generated a broken RTL CSS bundle that caused a badly broken layout when Discourse is used in an RTL language, see a3ce93b and 5926386. For this reason, we're replacing R2 with `rtlcss` that can handle modern CSS features better than R2 does.
`rltcss` is written in JS and available as an npm package. Calling the `rltcss` from rubyland is done via the `rtlcss_wrapper` gem which contains a distributable copy of the `rtlcss` package and loads/calls it with Mini Racer. See https://github.com/discourse/rtlcss_wrapper for more details.
Internal topic: t/76263.
`--d-hover` is calculated to be equivalent to primary-100 in light mode, or primary-low in dark mode
`--d-selected` is calculated to be equivalent to primary-low in light mode, or primary-100 in dark mode
`lib/color_math` is introduced to provide some utilities for making these calculations.
The new `prioritize_exact_search_match` can be used to force the search
algorithm to prioritize exact term matches in title when ranking results.
This is scoped narrowly to titles for cases such as a topic titled:
"organisation chart" and a search of "org chart".
If we scoped this wider, all discussion about "org chart" would float to
the top and leave a very common title de-prioritized.
This is a hidden site setting and it has some performance impact due
to double ranking.
That said, performance impact is somewhat mitigated cause ranking on
title alone is a very cheap operation.
Many users seems surprised by prefix matching in search leading to
unexpected results.
Over the years we always would return results starting with a search term
and not expect exact matches.
Meaning a search for `abra` would find `abracadabra`
This introduces the Site Setting `enable_search_prefix_matching` which
defaults to true. (behavior unchanged)
We plan to experiment on select sites with exact matches to see if the
results are less surprising
* FIX: Ensure soft-deleted topics can be deleted
The topic was not found during the deletion process because it was
deleted and `@post.topic` was nil.
* DEV: Use @topic instead of finding the topic every time
Under some situations, we would inadvertently return a public (unauthenticated) result to an authenticated API request. This commit adds the `Api-Key` header to our anonymous cache bypass logic.
Under scenarios of extremely high load where large numbers of `Reviewable*` items are being created, it has been observed that multiple instances of the `NotifyReviewable` job may run simultaneously.
These jobs will work satisfactorily if the concurrency is limited to 1, and the different types of jobs (items reviewable by admins, vs moderators, vs particular groups, etc.) are run eventually.
This change introduces a new option to `DistributedMutex` which allows the `max_get_lock_attempts` to be specified. If the number is exceeded an error will be raised, which will cause Sidekiq to requeue the job. Sidekiq has existing logic to back-off on retry times for jobs that have failed multiple times.
There was an issue where if hashtag-cooked HTML was sent
to the ExcerptParser without the keep_svg option, we would
end up with empty </use> and </svg> tags on the parts of the
excerpt where the hashtag was, in this case when a post
push notification was sent.
Fixed this, and also added a way to only display a plaintext
version of the hashtag for cases like this via PrettyText#excerpt.
When checking whether an existing upload should be secure
based on upload references, do not count deleted posts, since
there is still a reference attached to them. This can lead to
issues where e.g. an upload is used for a post then later on
a custom emoji.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
This fixes a longstanding issue for sites with the
secure_uploads setting enabled. What would happen is a scenario
like this, since we did not check all places an upload could be
linked to whenever we used UploadSecurity to check whether an
upload should be secure:
* Upload is created and used for site setting, set to secure: false
since site setting uploads should not be secure. Let's say favicon
* Favicon for the site is used inside a post in a private category,
e.g. via a Onebox
* We changed the secure status for the upload to true, since it's been
used in a private category and we don't check if it's originator
was a public place
* The site favicon breaks :'(
This was a source of constant consternation. Now, when an upload is _not_
being created, and we are checking if an existing upload should be
secure, we now check to see what the first record in the UploadReference
table is for that upload. If it's something public like a site setting,
then we will never change the upload to `secure`.
Prior to this change, we were parsing `Post#cooked` every time we
serialize a post to extract the usernames of mentioned users in the
post. However, the only reason we have to do this is to support
displaying a user's status beside each mention in a post on the client side when
the `enable_user_status` site setting is enabled. When
`enable_user_status` is disabled, we should avoid having to parse
`Post#cooked` since there is no point in doing so.
Since the new hashtag format has been added, we want site
admins to be able to rebake old posts with the old hashtag
format. This can now be done with `rake hashtags:mark_old_format_for_rebake`
which goes and marks posts with the old cooked version of hashtags
in this format for rebake:
```
<a class=\"hashtag\" href=\"/c/ux/14\">#<span>ux</span></a>
```
c.f. https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-rebake-is-required-for-the-new-autocomplete-styling/249642/12
This commit fixes the following issue:
* User creates a post
* Akismet or some other thing like requiring posts to be approved puts
the post in the review queue, deleting it
* Admin approves the post
* Email is never sent to mailing list mode subscribers
We intentionally do not enqueue this for every single post when
recovering a topic (i.e. recovering the first post) since the topics
could have a lot of posts with emails already sent, and we don't want
to clog sidekiq with thousands of notify jobs.
TL4 users can already list and unlist topics, but they can't see
the unlisted topics. This change brings this to par by allowing
TL4 users to also see unlisted topics.
So it can easily be overwritten in a plugin for example.
### Added more tests to provide better coverage
We previously only had `u.silenced_till IS NULL` but I made it consistent with pretty much every other places where we check for "active" users.
These two new lines do change the query a tiny bit though.
**Before**
- You could not get the badge if you were currently silenced (no matter what period is being checked)
- You could get the badge if you were suspended 😬
**After**
- You can't get the badge if you were silenced during the past year
- You can't get the badge if you were suspended during the past year
### Improved the performance of the query by using `NOT EXISTS` instead of `LEFT JOIN / COUNT() = 0`
There is no difference in behaviour between
```sql
LEFT JOIN user_badges AS ub ON ub.user_id = u.id AND ...
[...]
HAVING COUNT(ub.*) = 0
```
and
```sql
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM user_badges AS ub WHERE ub.user_id = u.id AND ...)
```
The only difference is performance-wise. The `NOT EXISTS` is 10-30% faster on very large databases (aka. posts and users in X millions). I checked on 3 of the largest datasets I could find.
When the thread is aborted, an exception is raised before the `start` of a job is set, and therefore raises an exception in the `ensure` block. This commit checks that `start` exists, and also adds `abort_on_exception=true` so that this issue would have caused test failures.
The `enable_new_notifications_menu` site setting allows sites that have
`navigation_menu` set to `legacy` to use the redesigned notifications
menu before switching to the new sidebar navigation menu.
This is a very subtle one. Setting the redirect URL is done by passing
a hash through a Discourse event. This is broken on Ruby 2 since the
support for keyword arguments in events was added.
In Ruby 2 the last argument is cast to keyword arguments if it is a
hash. The key point here is that creates a new copy of the hash, so
what the plugin is modifying is not the hash that was passed.
This patch introduces a cookies rotator as indicated in the Rails
upgrade guide. This allows to migrate from the old SHA1 digest to the
new SHA256 digest.
This will give us some aggregate stats on the defer queue performance.
It is limited to 100 entries (for safety) which is stored in an LRU cache.
Scheduler::Defer.stats can then be used to get an array that denotes:
- number of runs and completions (queued, finished)
- error count (errors)
- total duration (duration)
We can look later at exposing these metrics to gain visibility on the reason
the defer queue is clogged.
There was an issue with channel archiving, where at times the topic
creation could fail which left the archive in a bad state, as read-only
instead of archived. This commit does several things:
* Changes the ChatChannelArchiveService to validate the topic being
created first and if it is not valid report the topic creation errors
in the PM we send to the user
* Changes the UI message in the channel with the archive status to reflect
that topic creation failed
* Validate the new topic when starting the archive process from the UI,
and show the validation errors to the user straight away instead of
creating the archive record and starting the process
This also fixes another issue in the discourse_dev config which was
failing because YAML parsing does not enable all classes by default now,
which was making the seeding rake task for chat fail.
* Firefox now finally returns PerformanceMeasure from performance.measure
* Some TODOs were really more NOTE or FIXME material or no longer relevant
* retain_hours is not needed in ExternalUploadsManager, it doesn't seem like anywhere in the UI sends this as a param for uploads
* https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/18413 was merged so we can remove JS test workaround for settings
Currently when generating a onebox for Discourse topics, some important
context is missing such as categories and tags.
This patch addresses this issue by introducing a new onebox engine
dedicated to display this information when available. Indeed to get this
new information, categories and tags are exposed in the topic metadata
as opengraph tags.
If unaccent is called with quote-like Unicode characters then it can
generate invalid queries because some of the transformed quotes by
unaccent are not escaped and to_tsquery fails because of bad input.
This commits replaces more quote-like Unicode characters before
unaccent is called.
Fixes the support for kwargs in `DiscourseEvent.trigger()` on Ruby 3, e.g.
```rb
DiscourseEvent.trigger(:before_system_message_sent, message_type: type, recipient: @recipient, post_creator_args: post_creator_args, params: method_params)
```
Fixes https://github.com/discourse/discourse-local-site-contacts
If a secure upload's access_control_post was trashed, and an anon user
tried to look at that upload, they would get a 500 error rather than
the correct 403 because of an error inside the PostGuardian logic.
This commit does a couple of things:
1. Changes the limit of tags to include a subject for a
notification email to the `max_tags_per_topic` setting
instead of the arbitrary 3 limit
2. Adds both an X-Discourse-Tags and X-Discourse-Category
custom header to outbound emails containing the tags
and category from the subject, so people on mail clients
that allow advanced filtering (i.e. not Gmail) can filter
mail by tags and category, which is useful for mailing
list mode users
c.f. https://meta.discourse.org/t/headers-for-email-notifications-so-that-gmail-users-can-filter-on-tags/249982/17
This commit fixes an issue where the chat message bookmarks
did not respect the user's `bookmark_auto_delete_preference`
which they select in their user preference page.
Also, it changes the default for that value to "keep bookmark and clear reminder"
rather than "never", which ends up leaving a lot of expired bookmark
reminders around which are a pain to clean up.
When sending emails out via group SMTP, if we
are sending them to non-staged users we want
to mask those emails with BCC, just so we don't
expose them to anyone we shouldn't. Staged users
are ones that have likely only interacted with
support via email, and will likely include other
people who were CC'd on the original email to the
group.

This commit changes the default return value of `Auth::ManagedAuthenticator#primary_email_verified?` to false. We're changing the default to force developers to think about email verification when building a new authentication method. All existing authenticators (in core and official plugins) have been updated to explicitly define the `primary_email_verified?` method in their subclass of `Auth::ManagedAuthenticator` (example commit 65f57a4d05).
Internal topic: t/82084.
The `TopicView#bookmarks` method is called by `TopicViewSerializer` and `PostSerializer`
so we want to avoid running a meaningless query when user is not
present.
