1. Serial likers will just like a bunch of posts on the same topic, this will
heavily inflate hot score. To avoid artificial "heat" generated by one user only count
the first like on the topic within the recent_cutoff range per topic
2. When looking at recent topics prefer "unique likers", defer to total likes on
older topics cause we do not have an easy count for unique likers
3. Stop taking 1 off like_count, it is not needed - platforms like reddit
allow you to like own post so they need to remove it.
Why this change?
Returning an array makes it hard to immediately retrieve a setting by
name and makes the retrieval an O(N) operation. By returning an array,
we make it easier for us to lookup a setting by name and retrieval is
O(1) as well.
Why this change?
Since 1dba1aca27, we have been remapping
the `<->` proximity operator in a tsquery to `&`. However, there is
another variant of it which follows the `<N>` pattern. For example, the
following text "end-to-end" will eventually result in the following
tsquery `end-to-end:* <-> end:* <2> end:*` being generated by Postgres.
Before this fix, the tsquery is remapped to `end-to-end:* & end:* <2>
end:*` by us. This is requires the search data which we store to contain
`end` at exactly 2 position apart. Due to the way we limit the
number of duplicates in our search data, the search term may end up not
matching anything. In bd32912c5e, we made
it such that we do not allow any duplicates when indexing a topic's
title. Therefore, search for `end-to-end` against a topic title with
`end-to-end` will never match because our index will only contain one
`end` term.
What does this change do?
We will remap the `<N>` variant of the proximity operator.
This change removes the regex we used previously, which only allowed ASCII characters in fast-edit. Now multi-language content can be used with fast-edit.
It also removes the string replacement we relied on in the past to catch various forms of punctuation marks, as this no longer appears necessary (possibly since this component was updated to use Glimmer).
Why this change?
In workflow runs, we have seen processes being stuck on a flock lock and
I'm guessing because we are using `"w"` when opening the file which the
ruby documentation advises against as it states "don't use "w" because it truncates the file before lock."
Stuck workflow run: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/actions/runs/7690278010/job/20953851469
We were having a minor issue with emails with embedded images
that had newlines in the alt string; for example:
```
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><img width="898"
height="498" style="width:9.3541in;height:5.1875in" id="Picture_x0020_5"
src="cid:image003.png@01DA4EBA.0400B610" alt="A screenshot of a computer
program
Description automatically generated"></span><span
style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
```
Once this was parsed and converted to markdown (or directly to HTML
in some cases), this caused an issue in the composer and the post
UI, where the markdown parser didn't know how to deal with this,
making the HTML show directly instead of showing an image.
The easiest way to deal with this is to just strip \n from image
alt and title attrs in the HTMLToMarkdown class.
This patch allows running system specs on an aarch64 Linux system
(typically our `discourse_dev` docker image).
As Chrome isn’t available for the aarch64 architecture (yet), we have to
rely on Firefox instead. This has some drawbacks like not being able to
access the browser logs like we do with the Chrome webdriver.
These routes were previously rendered using Rails, and had a fairly fragile 2fa implementation in vanilla-js. This commit refactors the routes to be handled in the Ember app, removes the custom vanilla-js bundles, and leans on our centralized 2fa implementation. It also introduces a set of system specs for the behavior.
Internal links always notify and add internal connections in topics.
This adds a special feature that lets you append `?silent=true` to a link
to have it excluded from:
1. Notifications - users will not be notified for these links
2. Post links below posts in the UI
This is specifically useful for large reports where adding all these connections
just results in noise.
In a handful of situations, we need to verify a user's 2fa credentials before `current_user` is assigned. For example: login, email_login and change-email confirmation. This commit adds an explicit `target_user:` parameter to the centralized 2fa system so that it can be used for those situations.
For safety and clarity, this new parameter only works for anon. If some user is logged in, and target_user is set to a different user, an exception will be raised.
For performance reasons we don't automatically add fabricated users to trust level auto-groups. However, when explicitly passing a trust level to the fabricator, in 99% of cases it means that trust level is relevant for the test, and we need the groups.
This change makes it so that when a trust level is explicitly passed to the fabricator, the auto-groups are refreshed. There's no longer a need to also pass refresh_auto_groups: true, which means clearer tests, fewer mistakes, and less confusion.
When exporting a csv file and the size of the file exceeded the
max_export_file_size_kb it will still send the PM that the export
succeeded with a broken link to a missing export file. This change
ensures that a failed message will be sent instead.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
We have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.
We want to exclude the system user from group user counts, since intuitively admins wouldn't include them.
Originally this was accomplished by booting said system user from the groups, but this is causing problems, because the system user needs TL group membership to perform certain tasks.
After this PR, system user is still in the TL groups, but excluded when refreshing the user count.
Previously, it was not possible to modify the sorting order of the `TopicQuery` result from a plugin. This feature adds support to specify custom sorting functionality in a plugin. We're using the `apply_modifier` method in the `DiscoursePluginRegistry` module to achieve it.

Some preparatory refactoring as we're working on TL groups for the system user. On User we have a scope #human_users to exclude the system user, DiscoBot, etc. This PR adds the same scope (delegated to User) on Group.
Why this change?
We have been seeing specs time out on GitHub CI but the problem is that
we are unable to debug those timeouts due to a lack of information. This
change seeks to print out the backtraces of all threads right before a
spec times out on CI.
What does this change do?
1. Starts a thread on CI which will wait for a spec to start running.
1. Once a spec starts running, the thread will sleep for
`PER_SPEC_TIMEOUT_SECONDS -1` seconds.
1. After sleeping, the thread checks if the spec is still running and
prints out the backtraces of all threads if it is. Otherwise, the
thread does nothing and runs the next loop.
1. At the end of each spec run, we ensure that the thread is in a
waiting state for the next spec run to start.
Note that there is no need for us to teardown or cleanup the thread
since the process terminates after running all the tests.
This is a temporary fix to address an issue where the
system user is losing its automatic groups when the server
is running. If any auto groups are provided, and the user is
a system user, then we return true. The system user is admin,
moderator, and TL4, so they usually have all auto groups.
We can remove this when we get to the bottom of why the auto
groups are being deleted.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_for_user_api_key site setting to user_api_key_allowed_groups.
This isn't used by any of our plugins or themes, so very little fallout.
If configuring only moderators in a group based access setting, the mapping to the old setting wouldn't work correctly, because the case was unaccounted for.
This PR accounts for moderators group when doing the mapping.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_post_links site setting to post_links_allowed_groups.

The old strategy used to load 25 categories at a time, including the
subcategories. The new strategy loads 20 parent categories and at most
5 subcategories for each parent category, for a maximum of 120
categories in total.
- Decrease gravity, we come in too hot prioritizing too many new topics
- Remove all muted topics / categories and tags from the hot list
- Punish topics with zero likes in algorithm
Why this change?
We have been looking into a flaky system tests in one of our plugins
where the DB transaction flow can be messed up from time to time. Our
debugging effort is complicated by that fact that `test-prof` starts a
DB transaction in a `before(:all)` block which makes it hard to properly
log information. By allowing test-prof to be disabled completely, we
believe it will make it easier for us to isolate the problem we are
investigating.
What does this change do?
1. Avoid loading test-prof files if `PREFABRICATION` env has been set to
`0`.
2. Set `PREFABRICATION=0` for plugin system tests in Github actions
This introduces a new experimental hot sort ordering.
It attempts to float top conversations by first prioritizing a topics with lots of recent activity (likes and users responding)
The schedule that updates hot topics is disabled unless the hidden site setting: `experimental_hot_topics` is enabled.
You can control "decay" with `hot_topic_gravity` and `recency` with `hot_topics_recent_days`
Data is stored in the new `topic_hot_scores` table and you can check it out on the `/hot` route once
enabled.

Why this change?
Currently, is it hard to iteratively write a theme settings migrations
because our theme migrations system does not rollback. Therefore, we
want to allow theme developers to be able to write QUnit tests for their
theme migrations files enabling them to iteratively write their theme
migrations.
What does this change do?
1. Update `Theme#baked_js_tests_with_digest` to include all `ThemeField`
records of `ThemeField#target` equal to `migrations`. Note that we do
not include the `settings` and `themePrefix` variables for migration files.
2. Don't minify JavaScript test files becasue it makes debugging in
development hard.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
This commit makes it so the admin sidebar (when enabled)
will hide the other forum sidebar sections on mobile, the
same way it does on desktop. It was not happening automatically
because the sidebar component is also inside the hamburger-dropdown
component, which is used on mobile.

* FIX: respect creation date when paginating group activity posts
There are scenarios where the chronological order of posts doesn't match the order of their IDs. For instance, when moving the first post from one topic or PM to another, a new post (with a higher ID) will be created, but it will retain the original creation time.
This PR changes the group activity page and endpoint to paginate posts using created_at instead of relying on ID ordering.
Why this change?
Importing theme with the `bundle` params is used mainly by
`discourse_theme` CLI in the development environment. However, we do not
want migrations to automatically run in the development environment
and instead want the developer to be intentional about running theme
migrations. As such, this commit adds support for a
`skip_migrations` param when importing a theme with the `bundle` params.
This commit also adds a `migrated` attribute for migrations theme fields
to indicate whether a migrations theme field has been migrated or not.
When navigating straight to a topic the category was not displayed at
all because the categories were not loaded. Similarly, the categories
for suggested topics were not loaded either.
This commit adds a list of categories to topic view model class and
serializer.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_send_email_messages site setting to send_email_messages_allowed_groups.
Merges the design experiment at
https://meta.discourse.org/t/post-quote-copy-to-clipboard-button-feedback/285376
into core.
This adds a new button by default to the menu that pops up when text is
selected in a post.
The normal Quote button that is shown when selecting text within a post
will open the composer with the quote markdown prefilled.
This new "Copy Quote" button copies the quote markdown directly to the
user’s clipboard. This is useful for when you want to copy the quote
elsewhere – to another topic or a chat message for instance – without
having to manually copy from the opened composer, which then has to be
dismissed afterwards. An example of quote markdown:
```
[quote="someuser, post:7, topic:285376"]
In this moment, I am euphoric.
[/quote]
```
Some plugins have names (e.g. discourse-x-yz) that
are totally different from what they are actually called,
and that causes issues when showing them in a sorted way
in the admin plugin list.
Now, we should use the setting category name from client.en.yml
if it exists, otherwise fall back to the name, for sorting.
This is what we do on the client to determine what text to
show for the plugin name as well.

We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_create_tag site setting to create_tag_allowed_groups.
This PR maintains backwards compatibility until we can update plugins and themes using this.

This is enabled by default, but can be disabled via the `warn_critical_js_deprecations` hidden site setting.
The `warn_critical_js_deprecations_message` site setting can be used by hosting providers to add a sentence to the warning message (e.g. a date when they will be deploying the Ember 5 upgrade).
This fixes an issue where any string for an enum site setting
(such as TrustLevelSetting) would be converted to an integer
if the default value for the enum was an integer. This is an
issue because things like "admin" and "staff" would get silently
converted to 0 which is "valid" because it's TrustLevel[0],
but it's unexpected behaviour. It's best to just let the site
setting validator catch this broken value.

I ran out of time to get this working for that fix,
also here I am making the post.url method have parity
with post.shareUrl in JS, which omits the post number
for the first post.
Why this change?
The `can survive cache miss` test in `spec/requests/stylesheets_controller_spec.rb`
was failing because the file was not found on disk for the cache to be
regenerated. This is because a test in
`spec/lib/stylesheet/manager_spec.rb` was removing the entire
`tmp/stylesheet-cache` directory which is incorrect because the folder
in the test environment further segretates the stylesheet caches based
on the process of the test.
What does this change do?
1. Introduce `Stylesheet::Manager.rm_cache_folder` method for the test
environment to properly clean up the cache folder.
2. Make `Stylesheet::Manager::CACHE_PATH` a private constant since the
cache path should be obtained from the `Stylesheet::Manager.cache_fullpath` method.

Currently, the reviewable queue includes ReviewableFlaggedPost with posts that have already been hidden. This allows for such hidden posts to be cleared up by the auto-tool.
Why this change?
Some of the tests in `spec/system/table_builder_spec.rb` are flaky when
we are asserting that clicking the cancel button will close the modal.
This change attempts to fix it by using the `click_button` method
instead of `find` then `click` which is more reliable.
Why this change?
The two tests being updated in question has been flaky on CI. However,
when using `be_forbidden`, the error message does not indicate what the
actual response code was making it hard for us to debug.
What does this change do?
Assert for the exact response status code we are expecting.
`window.deprecationWorkflow` does not exist in the server-side pretty-text environment. This commit fixes the check and adds a general spec for deprecations triggered inside pretty-text
Categories will no longer be preloaded when `lazy_load_categories` is
enabled through PreloadStore.
Instead, the list of site categories will continue to be populated
by `Site.updateCategory` as more and more categories are being loaded
from different sources (topic lists, category selectors, etc).
Previously we hand no tests for `include_raw` which some consumers may
depend on.
Specifically, Discourse AI uses it to get raw markdown for a set of posts
on a topic.
Also cleans up tests so they lint with default ruby
Why this change?
We have been running into flaky tests which seems to be related to
AR transaction problems. However, we are not able to reproduce this
locally and do not have sufficient information on our builds now to
debug the problem.
What does this change do?
Noe the following changes only applies when `ENV["GITHUB_ACTIONS"]` is
present.
This change introduces an RSpec around hook when `capture_log: true` has
been set for a test. The responsibility of the hook is to capture the
ActiveRecord debug logs and print them out.
These tests are still flaky (order dependence) just that now it doesn't fail the test, instead it creates an infinite loop. Skipping these for now. We know they work because they pass, but they leak into other tests. I think we can re-enable locally and either fix or remove this once TL migration is done.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki site setting to self_wiki_allowed_groups.
Nothing of note here. This is used in exactly one place, and there's no fallout.
There's a leaky test that breaks some controller tests if run first, creating an order-dependent flake.
This change fixes that, but in doing so also skips a low-value test that breaks from the fix. (Verified manually that it's working.)
Why this change?
On CI, we have been seeing the "handles job concurrency" job timing out
on CI after 45 seconds. Upon closer inspection of `Jobs::Base#perform`
when cluster concurrency has been set, we see that a thread is spun up
to extend the expiring of a redis key by 120 seconds every 60 seconds
while the job is still being executed. The thread looks like this before
the fix:
```
keepalive_thread =
Thread.new do
while parent_thread.alive? && !finished
Discourse.redis.without_namespace.expire(cluster_concurrency_redis_key, 120)
sleep 60
end
end
```
In an ensure block of `Jobs::Base#perform`, the thread is stop by doing
something like this:
```
finished = true
keepalive_thread.wakeup
keepalive_thread.join
```
If the thread is sleeping, `keepalive_thread.wakeup` will stop the
`sleep` method and run the next iteration causing the thread to
complete. However, there is a timing issue at play here. If
`keepalive_thread.wakeup` is called at a time when the thread is not
sleeping, it will have no effect and the thread may end up sleeping for
60 seconds which is longer than our timeout on CI of 45 seconds.
What does this change do?
1. Change `sleep 60` to sleep in intervals of 1 second checking if the
job has been finished each time.
2. Add `use_redis_snapshotting` to `Jobs::Base` spec since Redis is
involved in scheduling and we want to ensure we don't leak Redis
keys.
3. Add `ConcurrentJob.stop!` and `thread.join` to `ensure` block in "handles job concurrency"
test since a failing expectation will cause us to not clean up the
thread we created in the test.
When setting an old TL based site setting in the console e.g.:
SiteSetting.min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore = TrustLevel[3]
We will silently convert this to the corresponding Group::AUTO_GROUP. And vice-versa, when we read the value on the old setting, we will automatically get the lowest trust level corresponding to the lowest auto group for the new setting in the database.
Why this change?
When running system tests on our CI, we have been occasionally seeing
server errors like:

While looking through various Rails issues related to the error above, I
came across https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/27647 which is a fix to
fully initialize routes before the first request is handled. However,
the routes are only fully initialize only if `config.eager_load` is set
to `true`. There is no reason why `config.eager_load` shouldn't be `true` in the
CI environment and this is what a new Rails 7.1 app is generated with.
What does this change do?
Enable `config.eager_load` when `env["CI"]` is present

Set `RSpec.current_example.metadata[:extra_failure_lines]` to `""` as
long as there are exceptions.
Why this change?
When running system tests with all official plugins installed, we have
encountered instances where the system tests will hang. When dumping the
backtraces of the threads, we can see that the main thread running the
tests is stuck in a deadlock with the puma thread while serving a
request.
The deadlock happens when the main thread acquires the `ActiveSupport::Concurrency::LoadInterlockAwareMonitor`
lock first in `ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter` before acquring another `Monitor` lock in
`ActiveRecord::ModelSchema`. In the Puma thread, it acquires the
`Monitor` lock in `ActiveRecord::ModelSchema` first before acquring the
`ActiveSupport::Concurrency::LoadInterlockAwareMonitor` lock.
What does this change do?
To workaround this problem, we will preload all model schema cache
before running system tests such that the `Monitor` lock in `ActiveRecord::ModelSchema`
will not be acquired.
This changes the Plugins link in the admin sidebar to
be a section instead, which then shows all enabled plugin
admin routes (which are custom routes some plugins e.g.
chat define).
This is done via adding some special preloaded data for
all controllers based on AdminController, and also specifically
on Admin::PluginsController, to have the routes loaded without
additional requests on page load.
We just use a cog for all the route icons for now...we don't
have anything better.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/reseting-robots-txt-override-doesnt-seem-to-work-as-expected/287880?u=osama
Discourse provides a default version for `/robots.txt` which can be customized by admins in `/admin/customize/robots`. In that page, there's a button to reset back to the default version that Discourse provides. However, there's currently a bug with the reset button where the content appears to change to some HTML document instead of the default `robots.txt` version when clicking the button. Refreshing the page shows the true/correct content of `robots.txt` which is the default version, so the reset button actually works but there's a display problem.
What causes this display problem is that we use Rails' `render_to_string` method to generate the default content for `robots.txt` from the template, and what we get from that method is the `robots.txt` content wrapped in the application layout. To fix this issue, we need to pass `layout: false` to the `render_to_string` method so that it renders the template without any layouts.
