Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
Meta thread: https://meta.discourse.org/t/sending-a-pm-with-the-following-title-causes-an-error/135654/3
We had an issue where if someone sent a PM with crazy
characters that are stripped and we end up with only
a number, the topic redirect errored because the slug was
a number. so instead we return the default as well if
the slug is a number after prettification
Trying to truncate encoded slugs will mean that we have to keep the URL
valid, which can be tricky as you have to be aware of multibyte
characters.
Since we already have upper bounds for the title, the slug won't grow
for more than title*6 in the worst case. The slug column in the topic
table can store that just fine.
Added a test to ensure that a generated slug is a valid URL too, so we
don't introduce regressions in the future.
When an admin changes the site setting slug_generation_method to
encoded, we weren't really encoding the slug, but just allowing non-ascii
characters in the slug (unicode).
That brings problems when a user posts a link to topic without the slug, as
our topic controller tries to redirect the user to the correct URL that contains
the slug with unicode characters. Having unicode in the Location header in a
response is a RFC violation and some browsers end up in a redirection loop.

This commit also checks if a site uses encoded slugs and clear all saved slugs
in the db so they can be regenerated using an onceoff job.
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
