Standardize it so that all fields of type `text` are searchable with
`search[<field>_matches]`.
Before, the `<field>_matches` param was handled manually and some fields
were left out or handled inconsistently. Now it applies to all columns
of type `text`.
This does a full-text search on the field, so for example, searching
`/artist_commentaries?search[translated_description_matches]=smiling`
will match translated commentaries containing either the word "smiling",
"smiles", "smiled", or "smile".
Note that this only applies to columns defined as type `text`, not to
columns defined as `character varying`. The difference is that `text` is
used for fields containing free-form natural language, such as comments,
notes, forum posts, wiki pages, pool descriptions, etc, while `character
varying` is used for short strings not containing free-form language,
such as tag names, wiki page titles, urls, status fields, etc.
API changes:
* Add the `search[original_title_matches]`, `search[original_description_matches]`,
`search[translated_title_matches]`, `search[translated_description_matches]` params
to /artist_commentaries and /artist_commentary_versions.
* Remove the `search[name_matches]` and `search[group_name_matches]` params from /artist_versions.
* Remove the `search[title_matches]` param from /wiki_page_versions.
* Change the `search[name_matches]` param on /pools, /favorite_groups, and /pool_versions
to do a full-text search instead of a substring match.
Change the /bulk_update_requests page to show the newest BURs first
instead of pending BURs first. This is more consistent with index pages
on the rest of the site, which normally default to newest first. Fixes
an issue where failed BURs would be shown first forever unless they were
manually approved or rejected.
When a BUR is approved, put it in a `processing` state. After it
successfully finishes processing, put it in the `approved` state. If it
fails processing, put it in the `failed` state.
If approving the BUR fails with a validation error, for example because
the alias already exists or an implication lacks a wiki, then leave the
BUR in the `pending` state. The `failed` state is only for unexpected
errors during processing.
Change the way BURs are processed. Before, we spawned a background job
for each line of the BUR, then processed each job sequentially. Now, we
process the entire BUR sequentially in a single background job.
This means that:
* BURs are truly sequential now. Before certain things like removing
aliases weren't actually performed in a background job, so they were
performed out-of-order before everything else in the BUR.
* Before, if an alias or implication line failed, then subsequent alias
or implication lines would still be processed. This was because each
alias or implication line was queued as a separate job, so a failure
of one job didn't block another. Now, if any alias or implication
fails, the entire BUR will fail and stop processing after that line.
This may be good or bad, depending on whether we actually need the BUR
to be processed in order or not.
* Before, BURs were processed inside a database transaction (except for the
actual updating of posts). Now they're not. This is because we can't
afford to hold transactions open while processing long-running aliases
or implications. This means that if BUR fails in the middle when it is
initially approved, it will be left in a half-complete state. Before
it would be rolled back and left in a pending state with no changes
performed.
* Before, only one BUR at a time could be processed. If multiple BURs
were approved at the same time, then they would queue up and be
processed one at a time. Now, multiple BURs can be processed at the
same time. This may be undesirable when processing large BURs, or BURs
that must be approved in a specific order.
* Before, large tag category changes could time out. This was because
they weren't actually performed in a background job. Now they are, so
they shouldn't time out.
When approving or rejecting a BUR, don't edit the OP forum post to add
an EDIT: line stating the request has been approved. Instead just let
the embedded BUR state who it was approved by, and post a reply saying
that the request has been approved.
Move the validation that the tags in an implication must have wiki pages
back into the TagImplication model. Use validation contexts to only run
the validation when the BUR is created, not when the BUR is approved.
Remove the ability to skip secondary validations when creating a BUR.
The only skippable validation that still existed was the requirement
that both tags in an implication must have wiki pages. It's now
mandatory to write wiki pages for tags before you can request an
implication. This doesn't apply to empty tags.
Only downcase tags in aliases, implications, and category change
commands. Don't downcase mass update commands. Mass updates are
potentially case sensitive (for example: `mass update source:imageboard -> source:Imageboard`).
* Don't raise exceptions when a BUR is invalid. Instead, use Rails
validations to return errors. Fixes invalid BURs potentially raising
exceptions in views. Also makes it so that each error in a BUR is
reported, not just the first one.
* Revalidate the BUR whenever the script is edited, not just when the
BUR is created. Ensures the BUR can't be broken by editing. Fixes a bug
where forum threads could be broken by someone editing a BUR and
breaking the syntax, thereby causing the BUR to raise an unparseable
script error when the forum thread was viewed.
* Validate that removed aliases and implication actually exist.
* Validate that the tag actually exists when changing a tag's category.
* Combine bulk update request processor unit tests with main bulk update
request unit tests.
The name AliasAndImplicationImporter is a holdover from the time before
bulk update requests existed. This was a bad name because it doesn't do
any actual importing, instead it's used for parsing and executing bulk
update requests.
* Remove unnecessary rename_aliased_pages option. This option was always enabled.
* Don't try to rename the artist and wiki page inside AliasAndImplicationImporter
when an alias is approved. This is already handled by TagAlias#process!.
Several fixes for the "This tag is under discussion" notice on the post
index page:
* Fix the notice appearing for BURs that aren't pending.
* Fix the notice never going away because of the cache never expiring.
* List all topics when a tag is involved in multiple BURs.
* Link to the forum post instead of the forum topic (fix#4421).
* Optimization: don't check for BURs when the search isn't a simple
single tag search.
* Add a `tags` field to the bulk update requests table for tracking all
tags involved in the request (excluding tags in mass updates that are
negated/optional/wildcards). Known issue: doesn't handle tag type
prefixes in mass updates correctly (e.g. `mass update foo -> artist:bar`
doesn't detect the tag `bar`).
* Allow searching the /bulk_update_requests page by tags.
We don't really need to cache the notice here, but we do it anyway to
reduce queries on the post index page.
* Make it so that you can click the stickied / locked / deleted icons or
the new / approved / pending / rejected labels to filter topics by
that status.
* Replace the `mod_only` search param with `is_private`.
Remove code for updating forum topics when an alias or implication is
approved or rejected. This code was only used when approving single
alias or implication requests. This is no longer used now that all
alias/implication requests are done through BURs.
Remove the post update count estimate from BUR show pages. This was
complex, slow, and usually inaccurate since it assumed that requests in
a BUR had no overlap with each other, which usually wasn't the case.
- The only string works much the same as before with its comma separation
-- Nested includes are indicated with square brackets "[ ]"
-- The nested include is the value immediately preceding the square brackets
-- The only string is the comma separated string inside those brackets
- Default includes are split between format types when necessary
-- This prevents unnecessary includes from being added on page load
- Available includes are those items which are allowed to be accessible to the user
-- Some aren't because they are sensitive, such as the creator of a flag
-- Some aren't because the number of associated items is too large
- The amount of times the same model can be included to prevent recursions
-- One exception is the root model may include the same model once
--- e.g. the user model can include the inviter which is also the user model
-- Another exception is if the include is a has_many association
--- e.g. artist urls can include the artist, and then artist urls again
Fix bulk update requests generating invalid [bur:<id>] links in forum
posts. The id was missing because the BUR created the forum topic in a
before_create hook, which created the post before the BUR was saved so
the BUR didn't have an id yet. Fix regression caused by b4ce2d83.
The belongs_to_creator macro was used to initialize the creator_id field
to the CurrentUser. This made tests complicated because it meant you had
to create and set the current user every time you wanted to create an
object, when lead to the current user being set over and over again. It
also meant you had to constantly be aware of what the CurrentUser was in
many different contexts, which was often confusing. Setting creators
explicitly simplifies everything greatly.
In rails 5, belongs_to associations automatically validate that the
associated item is present, meaning that we don't need to validate these
things manually any more.
