There was an issue that occurred with this order of operations:
* An IMAP topic was created by emailing a group
* A second user was invited to the topic (not the OP and not the group)
* A user with access to the group replies to the topic
* The second user receives a user_private_message notification email because of their involvement in the topic
* The second user replies to the email via email
This new reply would then go and notify the other group PM users, except for those who emailed the group topic directly, which is handled via the group SMTP mailer. However because the new post already has an incoming email because it is parsed via the Email::Receiver via POP3 the group SMTP section of the post alerter is skipped, and the group's email address is not ignored for the user_private_message notification.
This PR fixes it so the group is not ever sent an email via the PM notification. This is important because any new emails in the group's IMAP inbox will be picked up by the Imap::Sync code and created as a new topic which is not at all desirable.
Also in this PR I split up the specs a bit more for group SMTP in the post alerter to make them easier to read and they each only test one thing.
Fixes bug introduced by bd25627198
What happens is we send notifications to everyone involved in the group inbox topic about new posts, however we pass the param `skip_send_email_to: email_addresses`. In the above commit I removed the group email address from this `email_addresses` array. This breaks the IMAP inbox because we email the group with the reply, and the IMAP sync tool finds this email and opens a new unrelated topic with it.
This PR fixes a race condition with the IMAP notification code. In the `Email::Receiver` we call the `NewPostManager` to create the post and enqueue jobs and sends alerts via `PostAlerter`. However, if the post alerter reaches the `notify_pm_users` and the `group_notifying_via_smtp` method _before_ the incoming email is updated with the post and topic, we unnecessarily send a notification to the person who just posted. The result of this is that the IMAP syncer re-imports the email sent to the user about their own post, which looks like this in the group inbox:
To fix this, we skip the jobs enqueued by `NewPostManager` and only enqueue them with `PostJobsEnqueuer` manually _after_ the incoming email record has been updated with the post and topic.
Other improvements:
* Moved code to calculate email addresses from `IncomingEmail` records into the topic, with a group passed in, for easier testing and debugging. It is not the responsibility of the post alerter to figure this stuff out.
* Add shortcut methods on `IncomingEmail` to split or provide an empty array for to and cc addresses to avoid repetition.
- IgnoredUser records should all now have an expiring_at value. This commit enforces that in the DB, and fixes any corrupt rows
- Changes to the ignored user list are now handled by the `/u/{username}/notification_level` endpoint. This allows setting expiration dates on the ignore. This commit removes the old logic for saving a list of usernames in the user preferences.
- Many specs were calling `IgnoredUser.create`. This commit changes them to use `Fabricate(:ignored_user)` for consistency
* FEATURE: don't notify about changed tags for a private message
Only staff members observing specific tag should receive a notification
* FIX: remove other category which is not used
* FIX: improved specs to ensure that revise was succesful
This ensures that at a minimum you are notified once a day of
repeat edits by the same user.
Long term we may consider winding this down to say 1 hour or
making it configurable.
Due to a refactor in e90f9e5cc4 we stopped notifying on edits if
a user liked a post and then edited.
The like could have happened a long time ago so this gets extra
confusing.
This change makes the suppression more deliberate. We only want
to suppress quite/link/mention if the user already got a reply
notification.
We can expand this suppression if it is not enough.
* FIX: when unread reply notification exists don't create new
From time to time, the user is creating a reply post and then they want to add additional details. They edit an existing post and for example, add a quote from a previous one.
In that situation, if the user to whom reply was directed to already have the unread notification, we should not create the new one.
That behaviour was mentioned here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/reply-then-edit-to-add-quote-notification-redundancy/138358
* FIX: dont create new notification if already exists
group membership and `CategoryUser` notification level should be
respected to determine whether to notify staged users about activity in
private categories, instead of only ever generating notifications for staged
users' own topics (which has been the behaviour since
0c4ac2a7bc)
Issue was mentioned in this [meta topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/send-a-notification-to-watching-users-when-adding-tag/125314)
It is working well when category is changed because NotifyCategoryChange job already got that code:
```
if post&.topic&.visible?
post_alerter = PostAlerter.new
post_alerter.notify_post_users(post, User.where(id: args[:notified_user_ids]))
post_alerter.notify_first_post_watchers(post, post_alerter.category_watchers(post.topic))
end
```
For NotifyTagChange job notify post users were missing so it worked only when your notification was set to `watching first post`
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/121589
This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
* 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
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

It is not a setting, and only relevant in specs. The new API is:
```
Jobs.run_later! # jobs will be thrown on the queue
Jobs.run_immediately! # jobs will run right away, avoid the queue
```
Previously if you wanted to have jobs execute in test mode, you'd have
to do `SiteSetting.queue_jobs = false`, because the opposite of queue
is to execute.
I found this very confusing, so I created a test helper called
`run_jobs_synchronously!` which is much more clear about what it does.
Previously the push notification code path was not tested for notification
collapsing. This happens if you get multiple replies to a topic you are
watching.
Previously we would notify on small actions if they were whispers
this inconsistently lead to all sorts of problems including
- collapsed "N replies" after assign
- empty push notifications
New behavior adds an api to explicitly send push notifications as well
if needed: create_notification_alert
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.
