Whenever we got a bounced email in the Email::Receiver we
previously would just set bounced: true on the EmailLog and
discard the status/diagnostic code. This commit changes this
flow to store the bounce error code (defined in the RFC at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/smtp-enhanced-status-codes/smtp-enhanced-status-codes.xhtml)
not just in the Email::Receiver, but also via webhook events
from other mail services and from SNS.
This commit does not surface the bounce error in the UI,
we can do that later if necessary.
Without this parameter, requests for sourcemaps on shared-CDN multisites will not be routed to the correct database, resulting in a 404.
The stylesheet content now depends on the site hostname, so the hostname has been added to the digest.
We serve `service-worker.js` in an unusual way, which means that the sourcemap is not available on an adjacent path. This means that the browser fails to fetch the map, and shows an error in the console.
This commit re-writes the source map reference in the static_controller to be an absolute link to the asset (including the appropriate CDN, if enabled), and adds a spec for the behavior.
It's important to do this at runtime, rather than JS precompile time, so that changes to CDN configuration do not require re-compilation to take effect.
- Update UI to improve contrast
- Make it clear that the message is only shown to administrators
- Add theme name and id to the console output
- Parse the error backtrace to identify the theme-id for post-decoration errors
- Improve console output to include the theme name / URL
- Add `?safe_mode=no_custom` to the admin panel link, so that it will work even if the theme is causing the site to break
The chat quoting mechanism will need to be able to generate
markdown for all kinds of uploads. The UploadMarkdown class
was missing generation for video and audio uploads. This
commit adds that in, and also expands the server-side regex
recognition of FileHelper types to match those in uploads.js,
and adds a spec for UploadMarkdown
When a site has secure media enabled and a post is with secure
media, we were incorrectly cooking custom emoji URLs and using the
secure URL for those emojis, even though they should not be
considered secure (their corresponding upload records in the
database are _not_ secure). Now instead of the blanket
post.with_secure_media? boolean for the secure: param, we also
want to make sure the image whose URL is being cooked is also
_not_ a custom emoji.
This is intended for use by plugins which are building their own
topic lists, and want to include PMs alongside regular topics (e.g.
discourse-assign). It does not get used directly in core.
* DEV: Document external topic id endpoints
This commit documents the existing Create Topic endpoint with the
`external_id` param and documents the new get topic by external id
endpoint.
It also refactors the existing topic show endpoint to use the new format
where we load the expected json schema response from a file.
See: 71f7f7ed49
* clean up unused test variables
Breakdown of fixes in this commit:
* `UserStat#topic_count` was not updated when visibility of
the topic changed.
* `UserStat#post_count` was not updated when post was hidden or
unhidden.
* `TopicConverter` was only incrementing or decrementing the counts by 1
even if a user has multiple posts in the topic.
* The commit turns off the verbose logging by default as it is just
noise to normal users who are not debugging this problem.
- Update UI to improve contrast

This adds logic to increase an `InvitedUser` record, increase
`redemption_count` and create a `:invitee_accepted` to let the inviter
know that the invitee used the invite.
Initial support for this was implemented in commit 9969631.
In ab5361d69a, we rescue from the PG error
but the transaction is already aborted causing any DB query after to
fail. As such, we avoid triggering the error in the first place by
checking that we would not be insertin a negative number into the
counter cache.

Allows to write custom code blocks:
```
```mermaid height=200,foo=bar

```
Which will then get converted to:

<code class="lang-nohighlight">

</pre>
```
Sorting group members worked always kept the group owners at the top of
the list. This commit keeps the group owners at the top of the list only
when no order exists.
This commits adds a new advance_draft to PostCreator that controls if
the draft sequence will be advanced or not. If the draft sequence is
advanced then the old drafts will be cleared. This used to happen for
posts created by plugins or through the API and cleared user drafts
by mistake.
There are still spots in the code base which results in us trying to turn the post and topic count negative. However,
we have a job that runs on a daily basis which will correct the count. Therefore, avoid raising an error for now
and log the exception instead.
* FEATURE: Add external_id to topics
This commit allows for topics to be created and fetched by an
external_id. These changes are API only for now as there aren't any
front changes.
* add annotations
* add external_id to this spec
* Several PR feedback changes
- Add guardian to find topic
- 403 is returned for not found as well now
- add `include_external_id?`
- external_id is now case insensitive
- added test for posts_controller
- added test for topic creator
- created constant for max length
- check that it redirects to the correct path
- restrain external id in routes file
* remove puts
* fix tests
* only check for external_id in webhook if exists
* Update index to exclude external_id if null
* annotate
* Update app/controllers/topics_controller.rb
We need to check whether the topic is present first before passing it to the guardian.

Follow up to 6f7364e48b to add a spec
that tests the full authentication of a Windows Hello algorithm (-257)
webauthn verification. The test added in that commit only tested that
we know about that algorithm, not whether it was actually usable.
* FEATURE: RS512, RS384 and RS256 COSE algorithms
These algorithms are not implemented by cose-ruby, but used in the web
authentication API and were marked as supported.
* FEATURE: Use all algorithms supported by cose-ruby
Previously only a subset of the algorithms were allowed.
This commit introduces our own handling and warning for Sidekiq's new 'non-json-serializable' warning. This decouples us from Sidekiq's own deprecation cycle, and allows us to use our own deprecation system. It also means that the dump/parse happens in test mode, which will help us to catch occurrences before they reach production.
Our discourse_public_exceptions middleware is designed to catch bubbled exceptions from lower in the stack, and then use `ApplicationController.rescue_with_handler` to render an appropriate error response.
When the request itself is invalid, we had an escape-hatch to skip re-dispatching the request to ApplicationController. However, it was possible to work around this by 'layering' the errors. For example, if you made a request which resulted in a 404, but **also** had some other invalidity, the escape hatch would not be triggered.
This commit ensures that these kind of 'layered' errors are properly handled, without logging warnings. It also adds detection for invalid JSON bodies and badly-formed multipart requests.
The user-facing behavior is unchanged. This commit simply prevents warnings being logged for invalid requests.
This commit allows group SMTP emails to be sent with a
different from email address that has been set up as an
alias in the email provider. Emails from the alias will
be grouped correctly using Message-IDs in the mail client,
and replies to the alias go into the correct group inbox.
Ensures that `UserStat#post_count` and `UserStat#topic_count` does not
go below 0. When it does like it did now, we tend to have bugs in our
code since we're usually coding with the assumption that the count isn't
negative.
In order to support the constraints, our post and topic fabricators in
tests will now automatically increment the count for the respective
user's `UserStat` as well. We have to do this because our fabricators
bypasss `PostCreator` which holds the responsibility of updating `UserStat#post_count` and
`UserStat#topic_count`.

- Limit bulk re-invite to 1 time per day
- Move bulk invite by csv behind a site setting (hidden by default)
- Bump invite expiry from 30 -> 90 days
## Updates to rate_limiter
When limiting reinvites I found that **staff** are never limited in any way. So I updated the **rate_limiter** model to allow for a few things:
- add an optional param of `staff_limit`, which (when included and passed values, and the user passes `.staff?`) will override the default `max` & `secs` values and apply them to the user.
- in the case you **do** pass values to `staff_limit` but the user **does not** pass `staff?` the standard `max` & `secs` values will be applied to the user.
This should give us enough flexibility to
1. continue to apply a strict rate limit to a standard user
2. but also apply a secondary (less strict) limit to staff
Non-staff users are not allowed to see whisper so this change prevents
non-staff user from seeing a like count that does not make sense to
them. In the future, we might consider adding another like count column
for staff user.

When creating a direct message to a group with group SMTP
set up, and adding another person to that message in the OP,
we send an email to the second person in the OP via the group_smtp
job. This in turn creates an IncomingEmail record to guard against
IMAP double sync.
The issue with this was that this IncomingEmail (which is essentialy
a placeholder/dummy one) was having its Message-ID used as the canonical
References Message-ID for subsequent emails sent out to user_private_message
recipients (such as members of the group), causing threading issues in
the mail client. The canonical <topic/ID@HOST> format should be used
instead for these cases.
This commit fixes the issue by only using the IncomingEmail for the
OP's Message-ID if the OP was created via our handle_mail email receiver
pipeline. It does not make sense to use it in other cases.
When the record is not saved, we should display a proper message.
One potential reason can be plugins for example discourse-calendar is specifying that only first post can contain event

In an earlier PR, we decided that we only want to block a domain if
the blocked domain in the SiteSetting is the final destination (/t/59305). That
PR used `FinalDestination#get`. `resolve` however is used several places
but blocks domains along the redirect chain when certain options are provided.
This commit changes the default options for `resolve` to not do that. Existing
users of `FinalDestination#resolve` are
- `Oneboxer#external_onebox`
- our onebox helper `fetch_html_doc`, which is used in amazon, standard embed
and youtube
- these folks already go through `Oneboxer#external_onebox` which already
blocks correctly
Sometimes plugins need to have additional data or options available
when rendering custom markdown features/rules that are not available
on the default opts.discourse object. These additional options should
be namespaced to the plugin adding them.
```
Site.markdown_additional_options["chat"] = { limited_pretty_text_markdown_rules: [] }
```
These are passed down to markdown rules on opts.discourse.additionalOptions.
The main motivation for adding this is the chat plugin, which currently stores
chat_pretty_text_features and chat_pretty_text_markdown_rules on
the Site object via additions to the serializer, and the Site object is
not accessible to import via markdown rules (either through
Site.current() or through container.lookup). So, to have this working
for both front + backend code, we need to attach these additional options
from the Site object onto the markdown options object.
When staff visits the user profile of another user, the `email` field
in the model is empty. In this case, staff cannot send the reset email
password because nothing is passed in the `login` field.
This commit changes the behavior for staff users to allow resetting
password by username instead.
This commit fixes a bug where we our `HTMLScrubber` was only searching
for emoji img tags which contains only the "emoji" class. However, our emoji image tags
may contain more than just the "emoji" class like "only-emoji" when an
emoji exists by itself on a single line.
If a model class calls preload_custom_fields twice then
we have to clear this otherwise the fields are cached inside the
already existing proxy and no new ones are added, so when we check
for custom_fields[KEY] an error is likely to occur
In the unlikely, but possible, scenario where a user has no email_tokens, and has an invite record for their email address, login would fail. This commit fixes the `Invite` `user_doesnt_already_exist` validation so that it only applies to new invites, or when changing the email address.
This regressed in d8fe0f4199 (based on `git bisect`)
The UI used to request a password reset by username when the user was
logged in. This did not work when hide_email_already_taken site setting
was enabled, which disables the lookup-by-username functionality.
This commit also introduces a check to ensure that the parameter is an
email when hide_email_already_taken is enabled as the single allowed
type is email (no usernames are allowed).
Our previous implementation used a simple `blocked_domain_array.include?(hostname)`
so some values were not matching. Additionally, in some configurations like ours, we'd used
"cat.*.dog.com" with the assumption we'd support globbing.
This change implicitly allows globbing by blocking "http://a.b.com" if "b.com" is a blocked
domain but does not actively do anything for "*".
An upcoming change might include frontend validation for values that can be inserted.
* FIX: Tag watching for everyone tag groups
Tags in tag groups that have permissions set to everyone were not able
to be saved correctly. A user on their preferences page would mark the
tags that they wanted to save, but the watched_tags in the response
would be empty. This did not apply to admins, just regular users. Even
though the watched tags were being saved in the db, the user serializer
response was filtering them out. When a user refreshed their preferences
pages it would show zero watched tags.
This appears to be a regression introduced by:
0f598ca51e
The issue that needed to be fixed is that we don't track the "everyone"
group (which has an id of 0) in the group_users table. This is because
everyone has access to it, so why fill a row for every single user, that
would be a lot. The fix was to update the query to include tag groups
that had permissions set to the "everyone" group (group_id 0).
I also added another check to the existing spec for updating
watched tags for tags that aren't in a tag group so that it checks the
response body. I then added a new spec which updates watched tags for
tags in a tag group which has permissions set to everyone.
* Resolve failing tests
Improve SQL query syntax for including the "everyone" group with the id
of 0.
This commit also fixes a few failing tests that were introduced. It
turns out that the Fabrication of the Tag Group Permissions was faulty.
What happens when creating the tag groups without any permissions is
that it sets the permission to "everyone". If we then follow up with
fabricating a tag group permission on the tag group instead of having a
single permission it will have 2 (everyone + the group specified)! We
don't want this. To fix it I removed the fabrication of tag group
permissions and just set the permissions directly when creating the tag
group.
* Use response.parsed_body instead of JSON.parse
* FIX: Mark invites flash messages as HTML safe.
This change should be safe as all user inputs included in the errors are sanitized before sending it back to the client.
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-tags-are-explicit-after-latest-update/214220
* If somebody adds a new error message that includes user input and doesn't sanitize it, using html-safe suddenly becomes unsafe again. As an extra layer of protection, we make the client sanitize the error message received from the backend.
* Escape user input instead of sanitizing
* FEATURE: Export topics to markdown
The route `/raw/TOPIC_ID` will now export whole topics (paginated to 100
posts) in a markdown format.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/152185/12
If the SiteSetting `allowed_onebox_iframes` contains a value of `*`, it will use the values of `all_iframe_origins` during the Oneboxing process. If `all_iframe_origins` itself contains a value of `*`, `origins_to_regexes` will try to return a "catch-all" regex.
Other code assumes `origins_to_regexes`will return an array, so this change ensures the `*` case will return an array containing only the catch-all regex.
1. `html_doc.css('.Box.md')` always returns a truthy value (e.g. `[]`) so the second branch of the if-elsif never ran
2. `node&.css('text()')` was invalid code that would raise an error
3. Matching on h3 elements is no longer correct with the current html structure returned by GitHub
* FIX: Pass category and tag IDs to the emit webhook event job.
Like webhooks won't fire when they're scoped to specific categories or tags because we're not passing the data to the job that emits it.
* Update config/initializers/012-web_hook_events.rb

This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
An admin could search for all screened ip addresses in a block by
using wildcards. 192.168.* returned all IPs in range 192.168.0.0/16.
This feature allows admins to search for a single IP address in all
screened IP blocks. 192.168.0.1 returns all IP blocks that match it,
for example 192.168.0.0/16.
* FEATURE: Remove roll up button for screened IPs
* FIX: Match more specific screened IP address first
The new warnings cover more cases and more accurate. Most of the
warnings will be visible only to staff members because otherwise they
would leak information about user's preferences.
This commit extends the options which can be passed to
`PrettyText.markdown` so that which Markdown-it rules and Discourse
Markdown plugins to be used when rendering a text can be customizable.
Currently, this extension is mainly used by plugins.

Adding a spec for documenting the delete post API endpoint for our api
docs. As part of this added detailed info for the `force_destroy`
parameter for permanently deleting a post.
It is too close to release of 2.8 for incomplete
feature shenanigans. Ignores and drops the columns and drops
the trigger/function introduced in
e21c640a3c.
Will pick this feature back up post-release.
We are planning on attaching bookmarks to more and
more other models, so it makes sense to make a polymorphic
relationship to handle this. This commit adds the new
columns and backfills them in the bookmark table, and
makes sure that any new bookmark changes fill in the columns
via DB triggers.
This way we can gradually change the frontend and backend
to use these new columns, and eventually delete the
old post_id and for_topic columns in `bookmarks`.
Tests fail in Ruby 3.0 and later due to separation of positional and
keyword arguments. RSpec treats the hash at the end of include_examples
as keyword arguments when it should be passed as a positional argument.
* File.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of

The rake task deleted here was added back in Feb 2020
when bookmarks were first converted from PostAction
records, it is no longer needed. The ignored columns
were removed in ed83d7573e.
This commit adds a check that runs regularly as per
2d68e5d942 which tests the
credentials of groups with SMTP or IMAP enabled. If any issues
are found with those credentials a high priority problem is added to the
admin dashboard.
This commit also formats the admin dashboard differently if
there are high priority problems, bringing them to the top of
the list and highlighting them.
The problem will be cleared if the issue is fixed before the next
problem check, or if the group's settings are updated with a valid
credential.
You can add callbacks that get called before updating an already consolidated notification or creating a consolidated one.
Instances of this rule can add callbacks to access the old notifications about to be destroyed or the consolidated one and add additional data inside the data hash versus having to execute extra queries when adding this logic inside the `set_mutations` block.
I plan to use this in an upcoming discourse-reactions PR, where I want to like a post without notifying the user, so I can instead create a reaction notification.
Additionally, we decouple the a11y attributes from the icon itself, which will let us extend the widget's icon without losing them.
This allows authenticators to instruct the Auth::Result to override attributes without using the general site settings. This provides an easy migration path for auth plugins which offer their own "overrides email", "overrides username" or "overrides name" settings. With this new api, they can set `overrides_*` on the result object, and the attribute will be overriden regardless of the general site setting.
ManagedAuthenticator is updated to use this new API. Plugins which consume ManagedAuthenticator will instantly take advantage of this change.
The previous default aspect ratio for cropping tall images was a little
too strict and was cutting off images. This new setting should allow for
a larger range of image sizes before cropping them.
This commit adds API documentation for the new upload
endpoints related to direct + multipart external uploads.
Also included is a rake task which watches the files in
the spec/requests/api directory and calls a script file
(spec/regenerate_swagger_docs) whenever one changes. This
script runs rake rswag:specs:swaggerize and then copies
the openapi.yml file over to the discourse_api_docs repo
directory, and hits a script there to convert the YML to
JSON so the API docs are refreshed while the server is
still running. This makes the loop of making a doc change
and seeing it in the local server much faster.
The rake task is rake autospec:swagger
* FEATURE: hide_email_address_taken forces use of email in forgot password form
This strengthens this site setting which is meant to be used to harden sites
that are experiencing abuse on forgot password routes.
Previously we would only deny letting people know if forgot password worked on not
New change also bans usage of username for forgot password when enabled
This commit introduces scheduled problem checks for the admin dashboard, which are long running or otherwise cumbersome problem checks that will be run every 10 minutes rather than every time the dashboard is loaded. If these scheduled checks add a problem, the problem will remain until it is cleared or until the scheduled job runs again.
An example of a check that should be scheduled is validating credentials against an external provider.
This commit also introduces the concept of a `priority` to the problems generated by `AdminDashboardData` and the scheduled checks. This is `low` by default, and can be set to `high`, but this commit does not change any part of the UI with this information, only adds a CSS class.
I will be making a follow up PR to check group SMTP credentials.
When attempting to Onebox a page if there is no `meta property="og:description"` tag but there is a `meta name="description"` tag, Onebox should try to use that value.
Discourse sent only translation overrides for the current language to the client instead of sending overrides from fallback locales as well. This especially impacted en_GB -> en since most overrides would be done in English instead of English (UK).
This also adds lots of tests for previously untested code.
There's a small caveat: The client currently doesn't handle fallback locales for MessageFormat strings. That is why overrides for those strings always have a higher priority than regular translations. So, as an example, the lookup order for MessageFormat strings in German is:
1. override for de
2. override for en
3. value from de
4. value from en
As an example, the lookup order for German was:
1. override for de
2. override for en
3. value from de
4. value from en
After this change the lookup order is the same as on the client:
1. override for de
2. value from de
3. override for en
4. value from en
see /t/16381
Some time ago, we made this fix to external authentication – https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13706. We didn't address Discourse Connect (https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045) at that moment, so I wanted to fix it for Discourse Connect as well.
Turned out though that Discourse Connect doesn't contain this problem and already handles staged users correctly. This PR adds tests that confirm it. Also, I've extracted two functions in Discourse Connect implementation along the way and decided to merge this refactoring too (the refactoring is supported with tests).
A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
OmniAuth test mode is disabled by default, so that we can integration-test the omniauth strategies. Sometimes, we manually enable test mode for specific specs. This commit ensures that test_mode is always disabled again after each spec.
If a theme name contained a double-quote, this problem could lead to invalid/unexpected HTML in the `<head>`
Note that this is not considered a security issue because themes can only be installed/named by administrators, and themes/administrators already have the ability to run arbitrary javascript.
We can fake redis transactions so that `fab!` works for redis and PG
data, but it's too slow to be used indiscriminately. Instead, you can
opt into it with the `use_redis_snapshotting` helper.
Insofar as snapshotting allows us to `fab!` more things, it provides a
speedup.
This is a fix to address blurry onebox favicon images if the site you
are linking to happens to have a favicon.ico file that contains multiple
images.
This fix detects of we are trying to create an upload for a favicon.ico
file. We then convert it to a png and not a jpeg like we were doing. We
want a png because it will preserve transparency, otherwise if we
convert it to a jpeg we lose that and it looks bad on dark themed sites.
This fix also addresses the fact that .ico files can include multiple
images. The blurry images we were producing was caused by the
ImageMagick `-flatten` option when the .ico file had multiple images
which then squishes them all together. So for .ico files we are no
longer flattening them and instead we are grabbing the last image in the
.ico bundle and converting that single image to a png.
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.
We send the reminder using the GroupMessage class, which supports removing previous messages. We can't match them by raw because they could mention different moderators. Also, I had to change the subject to remove dynamically generated values, which is necessary for finding them.
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/managing-group-membership-via-authentication/175950
We don't need it anymore. Actually, I removed using of it on the client side a long time ago, when I was working on improving blank page syndrome on user activity pages (see https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/14311).
This PR also removes some old resource strings that we don't use anymore. We have new strings for blank pages.
Since 3b13f1146b the email threading
in mail clients has been broken, because the random suffix meant
that the References header would always be different for non-group
SMTP email notifications sent out.
This commit fixes the issue by always using the "canonical" topic
reference ID inside the References header in the format:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
Which was the old format. We also add the References header to
notifications sent for the first post arriving, so the threading
works for subsequent emails. The Message-ID header is still random
as per the previous change.
