This method is a huge footgun in production, since it calls
the Redis KEYS command. From the Redis documentation at
https://redis.io/commands/keys/:
> Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in
production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when
it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for
debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout.
Don't use KEYS in your regular application code.
Since we were only using `delete_prefixed` in specs (now that we
removed the usage in production in 24ec06ff85c7acbad9621092b5e50eec2ede7b83)
we can remove this and instead rely on `use_redis_snapshotting` on the
particular tests that need this kind of clearing functionality.
SearchIndexer is only automatically disabled in `before_all` and `before` blocks which means at the start
of test runs. Enabling the SearchIndexer in one `fab!` block will affect
all other `fab!` blocks which is not ideal as we may be indexing stuff
for search when we don't need to.
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.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.
> URI(nil)
ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
Adds new hidden site settings for rate limits:
30 for logged in users, 15 for anon
Adds an anon cache for searching, caches results of searches for 1 minute
This reverts commit 20780a1eeed56b321daf18ee6bbfe681a51d1bf4.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
* When viewing a tag, the search widget will now show a checkbox to scope the search by tag, which will limit search results to that tag on desktop and mobile
This fix ensures that searches that contain a null byte return a 400
error instead of causing a 500 error.
For some reason from rspec we will reach the raise statement inside
of the `rescue_from ArgumentError` block, but outside of rspec it will
not execute the raise statement and so a 500 is thrown instead of
reaching the `rescue_from Discourse::InvalidParameters` block inside of
the application controller.
This fix raises Discourse::InvalidParameters directly from the search
controller instead of relying on `PG::Connection.escape_string` to
raise the `ArgumentError`.
The global setting disable_search_queue_threshold
(DISCOURSE_DISABLE_SEARCH_QUEUE_THRESHOLD) which default to 1 second was
added.
This protection ensures that when the application is unable to keep up with
requests it will simply turn off search till it is not backed up.
To disable this protection set this to 0.
* 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
Many security scanners like to inject NULL in inputs causing application
to exception out and return a 500
We now handle this exception and render a 400 status back
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.
