`delete_previous!` deletes existing topics even when we cannot send a new one due to the `limit_once_per` option. The dashboard problems PM gets deleted the next time the job runs (30 minutes), so the inbox could be empty when
admins click on the summary notification.
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
We previously used ConsolidateNotifications with a threshold of 1 to re-use an existing notification and bump it to the top instead of creating a new one. It produces some jumpiness in the user notification list, and it relies on updating the `created_at` attribute, which is a bit hacky.
As a better alternative, we're introducing a new plan that deletes all the previous versions of the notification, then creates a new one.
* REFACTOR: Improve support for consolidating notifications.
Before this commit, we didn't have a single way of consolidating notifications. For notifications like group summaries, we manually removed old ones before creating a new one. On the other hand, we used an after_create callback for likes and group membership requests, which caused unnecessary work, as we need to delete the record we created to replace it with a consolidated one.
We now have all the consolidation rules centralized in a single place: the consolidation planner class. Other parts of the app looking to create a consolidable notification can do so by calling Notification#consolidate_or_save!, instead of the default Notification#create! method.
Finally, we added two more rules: one for re-using existing group summaries and another for deleting duplicated dashboard problems PMs notifications when the user is tracking the moderator's inbox. Setting the threshold to one forces the planner to apply this rule every time.
I plan to add plugin support for adding custom rules in another PR to keep this one relatively small.
* DEV: Introduces a plugin API for consolidating notifications.
This commit removes the `Notification#filter_by_consolidation_data` scope since plugins could have to define their criteria. The Plan class now receives two blocks, one to query for an already consolidated notification, which we'll try to update, and another to query for existing ones to consolidate.
It also receives a consolidation window, which accepts an ActiveSupport::Duration object, and filter notifications created since that value.
Discourse is sending regularly message to admins when potential problems are persisted. Most of the time they have exactly the same content. In that case, when there are no replies, the old one should be trashed before a new one is created.
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
