* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
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
Previously we would bypass touching `Topic.updated_at` for whispers and post
recovery / deletions.
This meant that certain types of caching can not be done where we rely on
this information for cache accuracy.
For example if we know we have zero unread topics as of yesterday and whisper
is made I need to bump this date so the cache remains accurate
This is only half of a larger change but provides the groundwork.
Confirmed none of our serializers leak out Topic.updated_at so this is safe
spot for this info
At the moment edits still do not change this but it is not relevant for the
unread cache.
This commit also cleans up some specs to use the new `eq_time` matcher for
millisecond fidelity comparison of times
Previously `freeze_time` would fudge this which is not that clean.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

This updates tests to use latest rails 5 practice
and updates ALL dependencies that could be updated
Performance testing shows that performance has not regressed
if anything it is marginally faster now.
