We had quite a few cases in core where inputs are being mutated as a side
effect of calling a method.
This handles all the cases where specs caught this.
Mutating inputs makes code harder to reason about. Eg:
```
frog = "frog"
jump(frog)
puts frog
"fly" # ?????
```
This commit is part of a followup commit that adds # frozen_string_literal
to all our specs.
Previous behaviour was to silently remove tags that
belonged to a group with a parent tag that was missing.
The "required parent tag" feature is meant to guide people
to use the correct tags and show scoped results in the tag
input field, and to help create topic lists of related
tags. It isn't meant to be a strict requirement in the
composer that should trigger errors or restrictions.
* DEV: Replace site_setting_saved DiscourseEvent with site_setting_changed
site_setting_saved is confusing for a few reasons:
- It is attached to the after_save of the ActiveRecord model. This is confusing because it only works 'properly' with the db_provider
- It passes the activerecord model as a parameter, which is confusing because you get access to the 'database' version of the setting, rather than the ruby setting. For example, booleans appear as 'y' or 'n' strings.
- When the event is called, the local process cache has not yet been updated. So if you call SiteSetting.setting_name inside the event handler, you will receive the old site setting value
I have deprecated that event, and added a new site_setting_changed event. It passes three parameters:
- Setting name (symbol)
- Old value (in ruby format)
- New value (in ruby format)
It is triggered after the setting has been persisted, and the local process cache has been updated.
This commit also includes a test case which describes the confusing behavior. This can be removed once site_setting_saved is removed.
Since Rails 5.2, the behavior of `attribute_changed?` inside `after_save` callbacks has changed, so we need to use `saved_change_to_attribute` instead. The site setting local_process_provider in test mode was covering up the issue.
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
This new site setting determines the maximum age of unread topics in
suggested. By default if you have any unread topics older than 90 days
they will be omitted from suggested.
This change was added for 2 reasons:
1. A performance safeguard, some users tend to collect a huge amount of
read state so it becomes super expensive to find unread
2. People who collect a large amount of unread are much more interested in
recent unread topics vs ancient unread topics, this makes suggested more
relevant
Also, this is a minor speed up for tests cause 3 expensive tests became 1.
