2e78045a fixed the anonymization job so that it correctly updated self-mentions, which are not logged in the post_actions table. The solution was to scan the entire `posts` table with an `raw ILIKE` query. On sites with many posts, this can take a very long time.
This commit updates the job to take a two-pass approach:
First, we update posts based on the post_actions table. This is much more efficient than a full table scan, and takes care of all 'non-self' mentions.
Then, we make a second pass using the `raw ILIKE` approach. Since we already took care of most posts, we can scope this down to self-mentions only. By filtering the query to a specific posts.user_id, it is significantly more performant than a full table scan.
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
Posts with self-mentions aren't updated with username updates. This happens
because mention `UserAction` entries aren't logged for self-mentions.
This change updates the lookup of `Post` and `PostRevision` with mentions to bypass
`UserAction` entries.
Let's say post #2 quotes post number #1. If a user decides to quote the
quote in post #2, it should keep the information of post #1
("user_1, post: 1, topic: X"), instead of replacing with current post
info ("user_2, post: 2, topic: X").
The following methods have long been deprecated in ruby due to flaws in their implementation per http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/29293?29179-31097:
URI.escape
URI.unescape
URI.encode
URI.unencode
escape/encode are just aliases for one another. This PR uses the Addressable gem to replace these methods with its own encode, unencode, and encode_component methods where appropriate.
I have put all references to Addressable::URI here into the UrlHelper to keep them corralled in one place to make changes to this implementation easier.
Addressable is now also an explicit gem dependency.
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
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
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder
