Watched words were converted to regular expressions containing \W, which
handled only ASCII characters. Using [^[:word]] instead ensures that
UTF-8 characters are also handled correctly.
* FEATURE: Add case-sensitivity flag to watched_words
Currently, all watched words are matched case-insensitively. This flag
allows a watched word to be flagged for case-sensitive matching.
To allow allow for backwards compatibility the flag is set to false by
default.
* FEATURE: Support case-sensitive creation of Watched Words via API
Extend admin creation and upload of Watched Words to support case
sensitive flag. This lays the ground work for supporting
case-insensitive matching of Watched Words.
Support for an extra column has also been introduced for the Watched
Words upload CSV file. The new column structure is as follows:
word,replacement,case_sentive
* FEATURE: Enable case-sensitive matching of Watched Words
WordWatcher's word_matcher_regexp now returns a list of regular
expressions instead of one case-insensitive regular expression.
With the ability to flag a Watched Word as case-sensitive, an action
can have words of both sensitivities.This makes the use of the global
Regexp::IGNORECASE flag added to all words problematic.
To get around platform limitations around the use of subexpression level
switches/flags, a list of regular expressions is returned instead, one for each
case sensitivity.
Word matching has also been updated to use this list of regular expressions
instead of one.
* FEATURE: Use case-sensitive regular expressions for Watched Words
Update Watched Words regular expressions matching and processing to handle
the extra metadata which comes along with the introduction of
case-sensitive Watched Words.
This allows case-sensitive Watched Words to matched as such.
* DEV: Simplify type casting of case-sensitive flag from uploads
Use builtin semantics instead of a custom method for converting
string case flags in uploaded Watched Words to boolean.
* UX: Add case-sensitivity details to Admin Watched Words UI
Update Watched Word form to include a toggle for case-sensitivity.
This also adds support for, case-sensitive testing and matching of Watched Word
in the admin UI.
* DEV: Code improvements from review feedback
- Extract watched word regex creation out to a utility function
- Make JS array presence check more explicit and readable
* DEV: Extract Watched Word regex creation to utility function
Clean-up work from review feedback. Reduce code duplication.
* DEV: Rename word_matcher_regexp to word_matcher_regexp_list
Since a list is returned now instead of a single regular expression,
change `word_matcher_regexp` to `word_matcher_regexp_list` to better communicate
this change.
* DEV: Incorporate WordWatcher updates from upstream
Resolve conflicts and ensure apply_to_text does not remove non-word characters in matches
that aren't at the beginning of the line.
The generated regular expressions did not contain \b which matched
every text that contained the word, even if it was only a substring of
a word.
For example, if "art" was a watched word a post containing word
"artist" matched.
Find & Replace and Autotag watched words were not completely exported
and import did not work with these either. This commit changes the
input and output format to CSV, which allows for a secondary column.
This change is backwards compatible because a CSV file with only one
column has one value per line.
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
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
