Users noticed that sometimes, avatar from Gravatar is not correctly updated - https://meta.discourse.org/t/updated-image-on-gravatar-not-seeing-it-update-on-site/54357
A potential reason for that is that even if you update your avatar in Gravatar, URL stays the same and if the cache is involved, service is still receiving the old photo.
For example. In my case, when I click the button to refresh avatar the
new Upload record is created with `origin` URL to new avatar, and `url` to
old one
I made some tests in the rails console and adding random param to Gravatar URL is deceiving cache and correct, the newest avatar is downloaded
Adds 3 config values that allow to set a custom provider of Gravatar-like API accessible from gravatar_base_url. The gravatar_name is purely cosmetic, but helps with associating name with the service that actually provides the avatars. gravatar_login_url is a link relative to gravatar_base_url, which provides the user with the login to the Gravatar service
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
It seems that due to jobs being asynchronous and wrapping code in a
DistributedMutex that by the time we run the
`UserAvatar#update_gravatar!` job that the user/user email might be
destroyed.
This patch checks before a call to `user.email_hash` to make sure
the user and primary email exist to prevent the exception. If not
present, the job exits as there's nothing to do because we are
probably running after the user was destroyed for some reason.
previously we would ignore socket error, but this would mean that
there could be conditions where we would keep trying to download
gravatars forever (in an hourly job)
* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
FIX: warning about popup dimensions when using facebook login
Rules are:
- On account creation we always import
- If you already have an avatar uploaded, nothing is changed
- If you have no avatar uploaded, we upload from facebook on login
- If you have no avatar uploaded, we select facebook unless gravatar already selected
This also fixes SSO issues where on account creation accounts had missing avatar uploads
