This commit fixes an issue where when some actions were done
(deleting/recovering post, moving posts) we updated the
topic_users.bookmarked column to the wrong value. This was happening
because the SyncTopicUserBookmarked job was not taking into account
Topic level bookmarks, so if there was a Topic bookmark and no
Post bookmarks for a user in the topic, they would have
topic_users.bookmarked set to false, which meant the bookmark would
no longer show in the /bookmarks list.
To reproduce before the fix:
* Bookmark a topic and don’t bookmark any posts within
* Delete or recover any post in the topic

We updated scheduled admin checks to run concurrently in their own jobs. The main reason for this was so that we can implement re-check functionality for especially flaky checks (e.g. group e-mail credentials check.)
This works in the following way:
1. The check declares its retry policy using class methods.
2. A block can be yielded to if there are problems, but before they are committed to Redis.
3. The job uses this block to either a) schedule a retry if there are any remaining or b) do nothing and let the check commit.
This PR does some preparatory refactoring of scheduled admin checks in order for us to be able to do custom retry strategies for some of them.
Instead of running all checks in sequence inside a single, scheduled job, the scheduled job spawns one new job per check.
In order to be concurrency-safe, we need to change the existing Redis data structure from a string (of serialized JSON) to a list of strings (of serialized JSON).
After fbe0e4c we always pass a block into these methods.
So yield inside the export methods works and there is no need
anymore to wrap them into enumerators.
So we have to order by calling `find_each(order: :desc)`.
Note that that will order rows by Id, not by `last_match_at`
as we tried before (though that didn't work).
When we receive the stream parameter, we'll queue a job that periodically publishes partial updates, and after the summarization finishes, a final one with the completed version, plus metadata.
`summary-box` listens to these updates via MessageBus, and updates state accordingly.
A previous change updated `ReviewableQueuedPost`'s `created_by`
to be consistent with other reviewable types. It assigns
the the creator of the post being queued to `target_created_by` and sets
the `created_by` to the creator of the reviewable itself.
This fix updates some of the `created_by` references missed during the
intial fix.
We have a number of raw comments indicating that certain methods and classes are deprecated and marked for removal. This change turn those comments into deprecation warnings so that we can 1) see them in the logs of our own hosting and 2) give some warning to self hosters.
We recently introduced this advice to admins when some translation overrides are outdated or using unknown interpolation keys:
However we missed the case where the original translation key has been renamed or altogether removed. When this happens they are no longer visible in the admin interface, leading to the confusing situation where we say there are outdated translations, but none are shown.
Because we don't explicitly handle this case, some deleted translations were incorrectly marked as having unknown interpolation keys. (This is because I18n.t will return a string like "Translation missing: foo", which obviously has no interpolation keys inside.)
This change adds an additional status, deprecated for TranslationOverride, and the job that checks them will check for this status first, taking precedence over invalid_interpolation_keys. Since the advice only checks for the outdated and invalid_interpolation_keys statuses, this fixes the problem.
This commit makes sure we don't load all data into memory when doing CSV exports.
The most important change here made to the recently introduced export of chat
messages (3ea31f4). We were loading all data into memory in the first version, with
this commit it's not the case anymore.
Speaking of old exports. Some of them already use find_each, and it worked as
expected, without loading all data into memory. And it will proceed working as
expected after this commit.
In general, I made sure this change didn't break other CSV exports, first manually, and
then by writing system specs for them. Sadly, I haven't managed yet to make those
specs stable, they work fine locally, but flaky in GitHub actions, so I've disabled them
for now.
I'll be making more changes to the CSV exports code soon, those system specs will be
very helpful. I'll be running them locally, and I hope I'll manage to make them stable
while doing that work.
This PR adds a feature to help admins stay up-to-date with their translations. We already have protections preventing admins from problems when they update their overrides. This change adds some protection in the other direction (where translations change in core due to an upgrade) by creating a notice for admins when defaults have changed.
Terms:
- In the case where Discourse core changes the default translation, the translation override is considered "outdated".
- In the case above where interpolation keys were changed from the ones the override is using, it is considered "invalid".
- If none of the above applies, the override is considered "up to date".
How does it work?
There are a few pieces that makes this work:
- When an admin creates or updates a translation override, we store the original translation at the time of write. (This is used to detect changes later on.)
- There is a background job that runs once every day and checks for outdated and invalid overrides, and marks them as such.
- When there are any outdated or invalid overrides, a notice is shown in admin dashboard with a link to the text customization page.
Known limitations
The link from the dashboard links to the default locale text customization page. Given there might be invalid overrides in multiple languages, I'm not sure what we could do here. Consideration for future improvement.
What is the problem?
When an admin changes the default_sidebar_categories or default_sidebar_tags site settings and opts to backfill the setting,
we currently enqueue a sidekiq job to run the backfilling operation. When an admin changes those settings multiple times
within a short time frame, multiple sidekiq jobs with different backfilling parameters will be enqueued.
This is problematic if multiple jobs are executed concurrently as it may lead to situations where a job
with “outdated” site setting values is completed after a job with the “latest” site setting values.
What is the fix?
By setting `cluster_concurrency` to `1`, we ensure that only one of such
backfilling job will execute across all the sidekiq processes that are
deployed at any point in time. Since Sidekiq pops off job in the order
in which they are pushed, limiting the cluster concurrency here will
allow us to execute the enqueued `Jobs::BackfillSidebarSiteSettings`
jobs serially.
While we are unable to support OAUTH2 with pop3 (due to upstream dependency ruby/net-pop#16), we are adding the support for mail pollers plugin. Doing so, it would be possible to write a plugin which then uses other ways (microsoft graph sdk for example) to poll emails from a mailbox.
The idea is that a plugin would define a class which inherits from Email::Poller and defines a poll_mailbox static method which returns an array of strings. Then the plugin could call register_mail_poller(<class_name>) to have it registered. All the configuration (oauth2 tokens, email, etc) could be managed by sitesettings defined in the plugin.
This change adds support retroactively updating display names in the new quote format when the user's name is changed. It happens through a background job that is triggered by a callback when a user is saved with a new name.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/markdown-preview-and-result-differ/263878
The result of this markdown had different results in the composer preview and the post. This is solved by updating Loofah to the latest version and using html5 fragments like our user had reported. While the change was only needed in cooked_post_processor.rb for this fix, other areas also had to be updated due to various side effects.
When we introduced the new quote format with full-name display name:
```
[quote="Ted Johansson, post:1, topic:2, username:ted"]
we overlooked the code responsible for rewriting quotes when a user's name is changed.
```
The functional part of this change adds support for the new quote format in the code that updates quotes when a user's username changes. See the test case in `spec/services/username_changer_spec.rb` for the details.
In addition, this change adds a regression test for PrettyText to cover the new quote format, and extracts the code responsible for rewriting raw and cooked quotes into its own `QuoteRewriter` class. The functionality of the latter is tested through the tests in `spec/services/username_changer_spec.rb`.
Anonymization is among the most expensive operations we can perform with
extreme potential to impact the database. To mitigate risk we only allow a
single anonymization across the entire cluster concurrently.
This commit introduces support for `cluster_concurrency 1`. When you set that on a Job it will only allow 1 concurrent execution per cluster.
On the client-side, message-bus subscriptions and reviewable count UI is based on the 'redesigned_user_menu_enabled' boolean. We need to use the same logic on the server-side to ensure things work correctly when legacy navigation is used alongside the new user menu.
2e78045a fixed the anonymization job so that it correctly updated self-mentions, which are not logged in the post_actions table. The solution was to scan the entire `posts` table with an `raw ILIKE` query. On sites with many posts, this can take a very long time.
This commit updates the job to take a two-pass approach:
First, we update posts based on the post_actions table. This is much more efficient than a full table scan, and takes care of all 'non-self' mentions.
Then, we make a second pass using the `raw ILIKE` approach. Since we already took care of most posts, we can scope this down to self-mentions only. By filtering the query to a specific posts.user_id, it is significantly more performant than a full table scan.
Currently, we’re performing a check when a user is suspended in the
`UserEmail` job and we’re assuming a `post` is always available, which
is not the case. The code indeed breaks when the job is called with the
`account_suspended` type option.
This patch fixes this issue by making the check use the safe navigation
operator, thus making it working when `post` is not provided.
Currently, when a suspended user belongs to a group PM (private message
with more than two people in it) and a staff member sends a message to
this group PM, then the suspended user will receive an email.
This happens because a suspended user can only receive emails from staff
members. But in this case, this can be seen as a bug as the expected
behavior would be instead to not send any email to the suspended user. A
staff member can participate in active discussions like any other
member and so their messages in this context shouldn’t be treated
differently than the ones from regular users.
This patch addresses this issue by checking if a suspended user receives
a message from a group PM or not. If that’s the case then an email won’t
be sent no matter if the post originated from a staff member or not.

Forcing distributed muted to raise when a notify reviewable job is running
leads to excessive errors in the logs under many conditions.
The new pattern
1. Optimises the counting of reviewables so it is a lot faster
2. Holds the distributed lock for 2 minutes (max)
The downside is the job queue can get blocked up when tons of notify
reviewables are running at the same time. However this should be very
rare in the real world, as we only notify when stuff is flagged which
is fairly infrequent.
This also give a fair bit more time for the notifications which may be
a little slow on large sites with tons of mods.
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.
Posts with self-mentions aren't updated with username updates. This happens
because mention `UserAction` entries aren't logged for self-mentions.
This change updates the lookup of `Post` and `PostRevision` with mentions to bypass
`UserAction` entries.
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.
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.
```
class Jobs::DummyDelayedJob < Jobs::Base
def execute(args = {})
end
end
RSpec.describe "Jobs.run_immediately!" do
before { Jobs.run_immediately! }
it "explodes" do
current_user = Fabricate(:user)
Jobs.enqueue_in(1.seconds, :dummy_delayed_job)
sign_in(current_user)
end
end
```
The test above will fail with the following error if `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.clear_active_connections!` is called before the configured Capybara server checks out a connection from the connection pool.
```
ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError:
Cannot expire connection, it is owned by a different thread: #<Thread:0x00007f437391df58@puma srv tp 001 /home/tgxworld/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/puma-6.0.2/lib/puma/thread_pool.rb:106 sleep_forever>. Current thread: #<Thread:0x00007f437d6cfc60 run>.
```
We're not exactly sure if this is an ActiveRecord bug or not but we've
invested too much time into investigating this problem. Fundamentally,
we also no longer understand why `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.clear_active_connections!` is being called in an ensure block
within `Jobs::Base#perform` which was added in
ceddb6e0da 10 years ago. This
commit moves the logic for running jobs immediately out of the
`Jobs::Base#perform` method into another `Jobs::Base#perform_immediately` method such that
`ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.clear_active_connections!` is not
called. This change will only impact the test environment.
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.
