* Refactor signature verification a bit
* Rescue signature verification if recorded public key is invalid
Fixes#8822
* Always re-fetch AP signing key when HTTP Signature verification fails
But when the account is not marked as stale, avoid fetching collections and
media, and avoid webfinger round-trip.
* Apply stoplight to key/account update as well as initial key retrieval
* Change remote interaction dialog to use specific actions
Instead of just "interact", use different strings based on whether
it's a reply, reblog or favourite. Add explanation why the step
is necessary in the first place
* Remove obsolete strings
* Allow to show a specific status in the admin interface
* Let the front-end know the current account is a moderator
* Add admin links to status and account menus
If the current logged-in user is an admin, add quick links to the admin
interface in account and toot dropdown menu. Suggestion by @ashkitten
* Use @statuses.first instead of @statuses[0]
* Add local followers page to admin account UI
For moderation, I often find myself wondering who, locally, is following
a remote user. Currently, to see this, I have to go back to the web UI,
paste in their full handle, click their profile, and go to the
"Followers" tab (plus, this information is incidental, and if mastodon
ever decides to resolve all of the follower information, there will be
no place local followers are shown). This PR adds a new page which is
accessible via the "following" count on the admin's account view
page, which shows the local followers. (It has filter parameters for
account location to indicate that only local followers are shown, and
leave room for expansion if mastodon ever decides to store the entire
remote follow list).
* Normalize en.yml
* Add REST API for creating an account
The method is available to apps with a token obtained via the client
credentials grant. It creates a user and account records, as well as
an access token for the app that initiated the request. The user is
unconfirmed, and an e-mail is sent as usual.
The method returns the access token, which the app should save for
later. The REST API is not available to users with unconfirmed
accounts, so the app must be smart to wait for the user to click a
link in their e-mail inbox.
The method is rate-limited by IP to 5 requests per 30 minutes.
* Redirect users back to app from confirmation if they were created with an app
* Add tests
* Return 403 on the method if registrations are not open
* Require agreement param to be true in the API when creating an account
* Add moderation warnings
Replace individual routes for disabling, silencing, and suspending
a user, as well as the report update route, with a unified account
action controller that allows you to select an action (none,
disable, silence, suspend) as well as whether it should generate an
e-mail notification with optional custom text. That notification,
with the optional custom text, is saved as a warning.
Additionally, there are warning presets you can configure to save
time when performing the above.
* Use Account#local_username_and_domain
Define `Settings::BaseController#set_body_classes` so that sub classes
inherit `Settings::BaseController` don't need to define
`#set_body_classes` agein.
* Add instance-wide setting to disable profile directory
Fixes#9496
When the profile directory is disabled:
- The “discoverable” setting is hidden from users
- The “profile directory” link is not shown on public pages
- /explore returns 404
* Move Setting.profile_directory check to a before_action filter
* Add setting to not aggregate reblogs
Fixes#9222
* Handle cases where user is nil in add_to_home and add_to_list
* Add hint for setting_aggregate_reblogs option
* Reword setting_aggregate_reblogs label
* Improve overview of accounts in admin UI
- Display suspended status, role, last activity and IP prominently
- Default to showing local accounts
- Default to not showing suspended accounts
* Remove unused strings
* Fix tests
* Allow filtering accounts by IP mask
* Eliminate extra accounts select query from FollowService
* Optimistically update follow state in web UI and hide loading bar
Fix#6205
* Asynchronize NotifyService in FollowService
And fix failing test
* Skip Webfinger resolve routine when called from FollowService if possible
If an account is ActivityPub, then webfinger re-resolving is not necessary
when called from FollowService. Improve options of ResolveAccountService
* Nascent tag menu on frontend
* Hook up frontend to search
* Tag intersection backend first pass
* Update yarnlock
* WIP
* Fix for tags not searching correctly
* Make radio buttons function
* Simplify radio buttons with modeOption

* Don't use send with user input :D
* Set appropriate column header
* Handle auto updating timeline
* Fix up toggle function
* Use tag value correctly
* A bit more correct to use 'self' rather than 'all' in status scope
* Fix some style issues
* Fix more code style issues
* Style select dropdown more better
* Only use to_id'ed value to ensure no SQL injection
* Revamp frontend to allow for multiple selects
* Update backend / col header to account for more flexible tagging
* Update brakeman ignore
* Codeclimate suggestions
* Fix presenter tag_url
* Implement initial PR feedback
* Handle additional tag streaming
* CodeClimate tweak
* Downcase signed_headers string before building the signed string
The HTTP Signatures draft does not mandate the “headers” field to be downcased,
but mandates the header field names to be downcased in the signed string, which
means that prior to this patch, Mastodon could fail to process signatures from
some compliant clients. It also means that it would not actually check the
Digest of non-compliant clients that wouldn't use a lowercased Digest field
name.
Thankfully, I don't know of any such client.
* Revert "Remove dead code (#8919)"
This reverts commit a00ce8c92c.
* Restore time window checking, change it to 12 hours
By checking the Date header, we can prevent replaying old vulnerable
signatures. The focus is to prevent replaying old vulnerable requests
from software that has been fixed in the meantime, so a somewhat long
window should be fine and accounts for timezone misconfiguration.
* Escape users' URLs when formatting them
Fixes possible HTML injection
* Escape all string interpolations in Formatter class
Slightly improve performance by reducing class allocations
from repeated Formatter#encode calls
* Fix code style issues
* Add conversations API
* Add web UI for conversations
* Add test for conversations API
* Add tests for ConversationAccount
* Improve web UI
* Rename ConversationAccount to AccountConversation
* Remove conversations on block and mute
* Change last_status_id to be a denormalization of status_ids
* Add optimistic locking
* Allow min_id pagination in Feed#get
* Add min_id pagination to home and list timeline APIs
* Add min_id pagination to account statuses, public and tag APIs
* Remove unused stub in reports API
* Use min_id pagination in notifications, favourites, and fix order
* Fix HomeFeed#from_database not using paginate_by_id
* Add force_login option to OAuth authorize page
For when a user needs to sign into an app from multiple accounts
on the same server
* When logging out from modal header, redirect back after re-login
* Add animate custom emoji param to embed pages
* Rename param, use it for avatars and gifs
* Fix issues pointed by codeclimate and breaking test
* Ignore brakeman warning
* Allow moderators to disable/enable login
* Instead of rejecting login, show forbidden error when login disabled
Avoid confusion because when login is rejected, the message is that
the account is not activated, which is wrong.
* Fix tests
* Add default_settings class method to ScopedSettings
ScopedSettings was extended to use value of unscoped setting instead of
only using defaults set in config/settings.yml for selected settings.
This adds possibility for admins to set default values of users' settings,
for example default theme (as requested in #7092).
* Add ability to change an instance default theme
Closes#7092
* Add remote interaction dialog for toots
* Change AuthorizeFollow into AuthorizeInteraction, support statuses
* Update brakeman.ignore
* Adjust how interaction buttons are display on public pages
* Fix tests
DELETE /api/v1/suggestions/:account_id
When blocking, remove suggestion from both sides. Muting not affected,
since muting is supposed to be invisible to the target.
* Add more granular OAuth scopes
* Add human-readable descriptions of the new scopes
* Ensure new scopes look good on the app UI
* Add tests
* Group scopes in screen and color-code dangerous ones
* Fix wrong extra scope
* Re-add follow recommendations API
GET /api/v1/suggestions
Removed in 8efa081f21 due to Neo4J
dependency. The algorithm uses triadic closures, takes into account
suspensions, blocks, mutes, domain blocks, excludes locked and moved
accounts, and prefers more recently updated accounts.
* Track interactions with people you don't follow
Replying to, favouriting and reblogging someone you're not following
will make them show up in follow recommendations. The interactions
have different weights:
- Replying is 1
- Favouriting is 10 (decidedly positive interaction, but private)
- Reblogging is 20
Following them, muting or blocking will remove them from the list,
obviously.
* Remove triadic closures, ensure potential friendships are trimmed
* Make embeds cacheable by reverse proxy
* Make follow button on embeds open remote follow modal
Instead of web+mastodon://, also, turn the button blue, and add a
sign up prompt to the remote follow modal
`@signature_verification_failure_reason` is used in most places but`@signed_verification_failure_reason` appears in two places. Likely those errors are not returned.
* Add keyword filtering
GET|POST /api/v1/filters
GET|PUT|DELETE /api/v1/filters/:id
- Irreversible filters can drop toots from home or notifications
- Other filters can hide toots through the client app
- Filters use a phrase valid in particular contexts, expiration
* Make sure expired filters don't get applied client-side
* Add missing API methods
* Remove "regex filter" from column settings
* Add tests
* Add test for FeedManager
* Add CustomFilter test
* Add UI for managing filters
* Add streaming API event to allow syncing filters
* Fix tests
* Send rejections to followers when user hides domain they're on
* Use account domain blocks for "authorized followers" action
Replace soft-blocking (block & unblock) behaviour with follow rejection
* Split sync and async work of account domain blocking
Do not create domain block when removing followers by domain, that
is probably unexpected from the user's perspective.
* Adjust confirmation message for domain block
* yarn manage:translations
* optimize direct timeline
* fix typo in class name
* change filter condition for direct timeline
* fix codestyle issue
* revoke index_accounts_not_silenced because direct timeline does not use it.
* revoke index_accounts_not_silenced because direct timeline does not use it.
* fix rspec test condition.
* fix rspec test condition.
* fix rspec test condition.
* revoke adding column and partial index
* (direct timeline) move merging logic to model
* fix pagination parameter
* add method arguments that switches return array of status or cache_ids
* fix order by
* returns ActiveRecord.Relation in default behavor
* fix codestyle issue
* Track trending tags
- Half-life of 1 day
- Historical usage in daily buckets (last 7 days stored)
- GET /api/v1/trends
Fix#271
* Add trends to web UI
* Don't render compose form on search route, adjust search results header
* Disqualify tag from trends if it's in disallowed hashtags setting
* Count distinct accounts using tag, ignore silenced accounts
* Add preference to hide following/followers lists
- Public pages
- ActivityPub collections (does not return pages but does give total)
- REST API (unless it's your own) (does not federate)
Fix#6901
* Add preference
* Add delegation
* Fix issue
* Fix issue
permitted_for scope is slow when combined with pinned status scope.
Fortunately permitted_for scope can safely be removed because a pinned
status is always public.
- POST /api/v1/push/subscription
- PUT /api/v1/push/subscription
- DELETE /api/v1/push/subscription
- New OAuth scope: "push" (required for the above methods)
* No need to re-require sidekiq plugins, they are required via Gemfile
* Add derailed_benchmarks tool, no need to require TTY gems in Gemfile
* Replace ruby-oembed with FetchOEmbedService
Reduce startup by 45382 allocated objects
* Remove preloaded JSON-LD in favour of caching HTTP responses
Reduce boot RAM by about 6 MiB
* Fix tests
* Fix test suite by stubbing out JSON-LD contexts
* Fix URL of "Show more" link in paginated threads (ancestors side)
Increase item limits in threads
Fix#7268
* Fix "Show more" link in paginated threads (descendants side)
* Use table for statuses in report
* Display reported account and reporter in the same table
* Split accounts and general report info into two tables again
* Redesign report statuses table, notes, merge notes and action log
* Remove unused translations
* Fix code style issue
* Fix code style issue
* Fix code style issue
* Added a timeline for Direct statuses
* Lists all Direct statuses you've sent and received
* Displayed in Getting Started
* Streaming server support for direct TL
* Changes to match other timelines in 2.0
Commit 519119f657 missed a change for
stream entry page. Instead of duplicating the change, redirect to account
status page. It would also help crawlers (of search engines, for example)
to understand a stream entry URL and its corresponding status URL points
to the same page.
* Add bio fields
- Fix#3211
- Fix#232
- Fix#121
* Display bio fields in web UI
* Fix output of links and missing fields
* Federate bio fields over ActivityPub as PropertyValue
* Improve how the fields are stored, add to Edit profile form
* Add rel=me to links in fields
Fix#121
This also limits the statuses returned by API, but pagination is not
implemented in Web API yet. I still expect it brings user experience
better than making a user wait to fetch all ancestor statuses and flooding
the column with them.
* Further improvements to Reports UI
- Clean up notes display
- Clean up add new note form
- Simplify controller
- Allow reopening a report with a note
- Show created at date for reports
- Fix report details table formatting
* Show history of report using Admin::ActionLog beneath the report
* Fix incorrect log message when reopening a report
* Implement fetching of all ActionLog items that could be related to the report
* Ensure adding a report_note updates the report's updated_at
* Limit Report History to actions that happened between the report being created and the report being resolved
* Fix linting issues
* Improve report history builder
Thanks @gargron for the improvements
* Admin: Show unconfirmed email address on account page
* Admin: Allow staff to change user email addresses
* ActionLog: On change_email, log current email address and new unconfirmed email address
* Enable updating additional account information from user preferences via rest api
Resolves#6553
* Pacify rubocop
* Decoerce incoming settings in UserSettingsDecorator
* Create user preferences hash directly from incoming credentials instead of going through ActionController::Parameters
* Clean up user preferences update
* Use ActiveModel::Type::Boolean instead of manually checking stringified number equivalence
* Fix follow/unfollow buttons on public profile
- Present non-logged users with web+mastodon:// URLs for remote accounts
- Present logged-in users with appropriate links (authorize_follows and
remote_unfollows) for remote accounts
* Do not cache rendered cards if user is logged in
Previously these returns 302 redirects instead of 403s, which meant posting links to admin pages in slack caused them to unfurl, rather than stay as a link. Additionally, require_admin! doesn't appear to be actively used, on require_staff!
* Implement Assignment of Reports (#6967)
* Change translation of admin.report.comment.label to "Report Comment" for clarity
As we'll soon add the ability for reports to have comments on them, this clarification makes sense.
* Implement notes for Reports
This enables moderators to leave comments about a report whilst they work on it
* Fix display of report moderation notes
* Allow reports to be reopened / marked as unresolved
* Redirect to reports listing upon resolution of report
* Implement "resolve with note" functionality
* Add inverse relationship for report notes
* Remove additional database querying when loading report notes
* Fix tests for reports
* Fix localisations for report notes / reports
Previously the default locale was set by Localized concern for controllers,
but it was not enforced for mailers.
config is enforced throughout the application and an appropriate place to
set the default locale.
Use Rails smart boolean cast to account for values such as "f",
"0", "false", etc. Previously, if a param was present in the request,
it would count as true.
* Fix prev/next links on public profile page
* Don't make pagination urls if no available statuses
* Fix empty check method
* Put left chevron before prev page link
* Add scope for pagination "starting at" a given id
* Status pagination try 2:
s/prev/older and s/next/newer
"older" on left, "newer" on right
Use new scope for "newer" link
Extract magic 20 page size to constant
Remove max_id from feed pagination as it's not respected
* Reinstate max_id for accounts atom stream
* normalize
* Redesign landing page (again)
* Move login form in small version to the right column
* Display closed registrations message
* Add site setting for the hero image
* Fix test
* Increase spacing, maximum width, change call to action section
* Add focus param to media API, center thumbnails on focus point
* Add UI for setting a focal point
* Improve focal point icon on upload item
* Use focal point in upload preview
* Add focalPoint property to ActivityPub
* Don't show focal point button for non-image attachments
* Fix#201: Account archive download
* Export actor and private key in the archive
* Optimize BackupService
- Add conversation to cached associations of status, because
somehow it was forgotten and is source of N+1 queries
- Explicitly call GC between batches of records being fetched
(Model class allocations are the worst offender)
- Stream media files into the tar in 1MB chunks
(Do not allocate media file (up to 8MB) as string into memory)
- Use #bytesize instead of #size to calculate file size for JSON
(Fix FileOverflow error)
- Segment media into subfolders by status ID because apparently
GIF-to-MP4 media are all named "media.mp4" for some reason
* Keep uniquely generated filename in Paperclip::GifTranscoder
* Ensure dumped files do not overwrite each other by maintaing directory partitions
* Give tar archives a good name
* Add scheduler to remove week-old backups
* Fix code style issue
* Add option to show only local toots in timeline preview
Right know, toots from all the known fediverse are shown in the main
page of an instance. That however doesn't reflect the instance itself.
With this option the admin may choose to display only local toots so
that users checking the instance get a better idea of internal
conversations.
* Fix issues pointed by codeclimate and eslint
* Add default message for community timeline
* Update pl.yml
UserTrackingConcern is circumvented by SessionsController#create
because it calls warden, which calls the User#update_tracked_fields!
method directly. Move returning user logic to that method.
* Fix regeneration marker not being removed after completion
* Return HTTP 206 from /api/v1/timelines/home if regeneration in progress
Prioritize RegenerationWorker by putting it into default queue
* Display loading indicator and poll home timeline while it regenerates
* Add graphic to regeneration message
* Make "not found" indicator consistent with home regeneration
CSRF token checking was enabled for API controllers in #6223,
producing "Can't verify CSRF token authenticity" log spam. This
disables logging of failed CSRF checks.
This also changes the protection strategy for
PushSubscriptionsController to use exceptions, making it consistent
with other controllers that use sessions.
* Allow HTTP caching of json view of public statuses
HTML views are not cached as they can contain private statuses as well
* Disable session cookies for ActivityPub json rendering of public toots
* Add confirmation step for email changes
This adds a confirmation step for email changes of existing users.
Like the initial account confirmation, a confirmation link is sent
to the new address.
Additionally, a notification is sent to the existing address when
the change is initiated. This message includes instruction to reset
the password immediately or to contact the instance admin if the
change was not initiated by the account owner.
Fixes#3871
* Add review fixes
* Add GET /api/v1/instance/peers API to reveal known domains
* Add GET /api/v1/instance/activity API
* Make new APIs disableable, exclude private statuses from activity stats
* Fix code style issue
* Fix week timestamps
* Make host_meta/webfinger replies cacheable (fixes#6100)
Drop common code for handling users and sessions as webfinger queries
are very basic, public APIs.
Also explicitly mark results as cacheable with “expires_in”.
* Add “Vary: Accept” header for caching since content-negociation is used
* Add list of lists component to web UI
* Add list adding
* Add list removing
* List editor modal
* Add API account search limited by following=true relation
* Rework list editor modal
* Remove mandatory pagination of GET /api/v1/lists/:id/accounts
* Adjust search input placeholder
* Fix rspec (#5890)
* i18n: (zh-CN) Add missing translations for #5811 (#5891)
* i18n: (zh-CN) yarn manage:translations -- zh-CN
* i18n: (zh-CN) Add missing translations for #5811
* Fix some issues
- Display loading/missing state for list timelines
- Order lists alphabetically in overview
- Fix async list editor reset
- Redirect to /lists after deleting unpinned list
- Redirect to / after pinning a list
* Remove dead list columns when a list is deleted or fetch returns 404
* Allow hiding of reblogs from followed users
This adds a new entry to the account menu to allow users to hide
future reblogs from a user (and then if they've done that, to show
future reblogs instead).
This does not remove or add historical reblogs from/to the user's
timeline; it only affects new statuses.
The API for this operates by sending a "reblogs" key to the follow
endpoint. If this is sent when starting a new follow, it will be
respected from the beginning of the follow relationship (even if
the follow request must be approved by the followee). If this is
sent when a follow relationship already exists, it will simply
update the existing follow relationship. As with the notification
muting, this will now return an object ({reblogs: [true|false]}) or
false for each follow relationship when requesting relationship
information for an account. This should cause few issues due to an
object being truthy in many languages, but some modifications may
need to be made in pickier languages.
Database changes: adds a show_reblogs column (default true,
non-nullable) to the follows and follow_requests tables. Because
these are non-nullable, we use the existing MigrationHelpers to
perform this change without locking those tables, although the
tables are likely to be small anyway.
Tests included.

* Rubocop fixes
* Code review changes
* Test fixes
This patchset closes#648 and resolves#3271.
* Rubocop fix
* Revert reblogs defaulting in argument, fix tests
It turns out we needed this for the same reason we needed it in muting:
if nil gets passed in somehow (most usually by an API client not passing
any value), we need to detect and handle it.
We could specify a default in the parameter and then also catch nil, but
there's no great reason to duplicate the default value.
* Add consumable invites
* Add UI for generating invite codes
* Add tests
* Display max uses and expiration in invites table, delete invite
* Remove unused column and redundant validator
- Default follows not used, probably bad idea
- InviteCodeValidator is redundant because RegistrationsController
checks invite code validity
* Add admin setting to disable invites
* Add admin UI for invites, configurable role for invite creation
- Admin UI that lists everyone's invites, always available
- Admin setting min_invite_role to control who can invite people
- Non-admin invite UI only visible if users are allowed to
* Do not remove invites from database, expire them instantly
* Add structure for lists
* Add list timeline streaming API
* Add list APIs, bind list-account relation to follow relation
* Add API for adding/removing accounts from lists
* Add pagination to lists API
* Add pagination to list accounts API
* Adjust scopes for new APIs
- Creating and modifying lists merely requires "write" scope
- Fetching information about lists merely requires "read" scope
* Add test for wrong user context on list timeline
* Clean up tests
* Add a hide_notifications column to mutes
* Add muting_notifications? and a notifications argument to mute!
* block notifications in notify_service from hard muted accounts
* Add specs for how mute! interacts with muting_notifications?
* specs testing that hide_notifications in mutes actually hides notifications
* Add support for muting notifications in MuteService
* API support for muting notifications (and specs)
* Less gross passing of notifications flag
* Break out a separate mute modal with a hide-notifications checkbox.
* Convert profile header mute to use mute modal
* Satisfy eslint.
* specs for MuteService notifications params
* add trailing newlines to files for Pork :)
* Put the label for the hide notifications checkbox in a label element.
* Add a /api/v1/mutes/details route that just returns the array of mutes.
* Define a serializer for /api/v1/mutes/details
* Add more specs for the /api/v1/mutes/details endpoint
* Expose whether a mute hides notifications in the api/v1/relationships endpoint
* Show whether muted users' notifications are muted in account lists
* Allow modifying the hide_notifications of a mute with the /api/v1/accounts/:id/mute endpoint
* make the hide/unhide notifications buttons work
* satisfy eslint
* In probably dead code, replace a dispatch of muteAccount that was skipping the modal with launching the mute modal.
* fix a missing import
* add an explanatory comment to AccountInteractions
* Refactor handling of default params for muting to make code cleaner
* minor code style fixes oops
* Fixed a typo that was breaking the account mute API endpoint
* Apply white-space: nowrap to account relationships icons
* Fix code style issues
* Remove superfluous blank line
* Rename /api/v1/mutes/details -> /api/v2/mutes
* Don't serialize "account" in MuteSerializer
Doing so is somewhat unnecessary since it's always the current user's account.
* Fix wrong variable name in api/v2/mutes
* Use Toggle in place of checkbox in the mute modal.
* Make the Toggle in the mute modal look better
* Code style changes in specs and removed an extra space
* Code review suggestions from akihikodaki
Also fixed a syntax error in tests for AccountInteractions.
* Make AddHideNotificationsToMute Concurrent
It's not clear how much this will benefit instances in practice, as the
number of mutes tends to be pretty small, but this should prevent any
blocking migrations nonetheless.
* Fix up migration things
* Remove /api/v2/mutes
* Add option to block direct messages from people you don't follow

* Make Code Climate happy
* Add option to reduce motion
* Use HOC to wrap all Motion calls
* fix case-sensitive issue
* Avoid updating too frequently
* Get rid of unnecessary change to _simple_status.html.haml
- For some reason, :if option on before_action did not work. It got
executed every time, returned false, and the action run anyway,
which led to the current_sign_in_at and sign_in_count being
updated on every request
- Return "do not filter" early in FeedManager#filter_from_home? if
the status is authored by receiver. Usually this method is not
called for own statuses at all, but it is called when Feed#get
uses the database
- Return early if #reload_stale_associations! has nothing to load
to save a database query with WHERE 1=0
* Use non-serial IDs
This change makes a number of nontrivial tweaks to the data model in
Mastodon:
* All IDs are now 8 byte integers (rather than mixed 4- and 8-byte)
* IDs are now assigned as:
* Top 6 bytes: millisecond-resolution time from epoch
* Bottom 2 bytes: serial (within the millisecond) sequence number
* See /lib/tasks/db.rake's `define_timestamp_id` for details, but
note that the purpose of these changes is to make it difficult to
determine the number of objects in a table from the ID of any
object.
* The Redis sorted set used for the feed will have values used to look
up toots, rather than scores. This is almost always the same as the
existing behavior, except in the case of boosted toots. This change
was made because Redis stores scores as double-precision floats,
which cannot store the new ID format exactly. Note that this doesn't
cause problems with sorting/pagination, because ZREVRANGEBYSCORE
sorts lexicographically when scores are tied. (This will still cause
sorting issues when the ID gains a new significant digit, but that's
extraordinarily uncommon.)
Note a couple of tradeoffs have been made in this commit:
* lib/tasks/db.rake is used to enforce many/most column constraints,
because this commit seems likely to take a while to bring upstream.
Enforcing a post-migrate hook is an easier way to maintain the code
in the interim.
* Boosted toots will appear in the timeline as many times as they have
been boosted. This is a tradeoff due to the way the feed is saved in
Redis at the moment, but will be handled by a future commit.
This would effectively close Mastodon's #1059, as it is a
snowflake-like system of generating IDs. However, given how involved
the changes were simply within Mastodon, it may have unexpected
interactions with some clients, if they store IDs as doubles
(or as 4-byte integers). This was a problem that Twitter ran into with
their "snowflake" transition, particularly in JavaScript clients that
treated IDs as JS integers, rather than strings. It therefore would be
useful to test these changes at least in the web interface and popular
clients before pushing them to all users.
* Fix JavaScript interface with long IDs
Somewhat predictably, the JS interface handled IDs as numbers, which in
JS are IEEE double-precision floats. This loses some precision when
working with numbers as large as those generated by the new ID scheme,
so we instead handle them here as strings. This is relatively simple,
and doesn't appear to have caused any problems, but should definitely
be tested more thoroughly than the built-in tests. Several days of use
appear to support this working properly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The major(!) change here is that IDs are now returned as strings by the
REST endpoints, rather than as integers. In practice, relatively few
changes were required to make the existing JS UI work with this change,
but it will likely hit API clients pretty hard: it's an entirely
different type to consume. (The one API client I tested, Tusky, handles
this with no problems, however.)
Twitter ran into this issue when introducing Snowflake IDs, and decided
to instead introduce an `id_str` field in JSON responses. I have opted
to *not* do that, and instead force all IDs to 64-bit integers
represented by strings in one go. (I believe Twitter exacerbated their
problem by rolling out the changes three times: once for statuses, once
for DMs, and once for user IDs, as well as by leaving an integer ID
value in JSON. As they said, "If you’re using the `id` field with JSON
in a Javascript-related language, there is a very high likelihood that
the integers will be silently munged by Javascript interpreters. In most
cases, this will result in behavior such as being unable to load or
delete a specific direct message, because the ID you're sending to the
API is different than the actual identifier associated with the
message." [1]) However, given that this is a significant change for API
users, alternatives or a transition time may be appropriate.

* Restructure feed pushes/unpushes
This was necessary because the previous behavior used Redis zset scores
to identify statuses, but those are IEEE double-precision floats, so we
can't actually use them to identify all 64-bit IDs. However, it leaves
the code in a much better state for refactoring reblog handling /
coalescing.
Feed-management code has been consolidated in FeedManager, including:
* BatchedRemoveStatusService no longer directly manipulates feed zsets
* RemoveStatusService no longer directly manipulates feed zsets
* PrecomputeFeedService has moved its logic to FeedManager#populate_feed
(PrecomputeFeedService largely made lots of calls to FeedManager, but
didn't follow the normal adding-to-feed process.)
This has the effect of unifying all of the feed push/unpush logic in
FeedManager, making it much more tractable to update it in the future.
Due to some additional checks that must be made during, for example,
batch status removals, some Redis pipelining has been removed. It does
not appear that this should cause significantly increased load, but if
necessary, some optimizations are possible in batch cases. These were
omitted in the pursuit of simplicity, but a batch_push and batch_unpush
would be possible in the future.
Tests were added to verify that pushes happen under expected conditions,
and to verify reblog behavior (both on pushing and unpushing). In the
case of unpushing, this includes testing behavior that currently leads
to confusion such as Mastodon's #2817, but this codifies that the
behavior is currently expected.
* Rubocop fixes
I could swear I made these changes already, but I must have lost them
somewhere along the line.
* Address review comments
This addresses the first two comments from review of this feature:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139336735https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139336931
This adds an optional argument to FeedManager#key, the subtype of feed
key to generate. It also tests to ensure that FeedManager's settings are
such that reblogs won't be tracked forever.
* Hardcode IdToBigints migration columns
This addresses a comment during review:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139337452
This means we'll need to make sure that all _id columns going forward
are bigints, but that should happen automatically in most cases.
* Additional fixes for stringified IDs in JSON
These should be the last two. These were identified using eslint to try
to identify any plain casts to JavaScript numbers. (Some such casts are
legitimate, but these were not.)
Adding the following to .eslintrc.yml will identify casts to numbers:
~~~
no-restricted-syntax:
- warn
- selector: UnaryExpression[operator='+'] > :not(Literal)
message: Avoid the use of unary +
- selector: CallExpression[callee.name='Number']
message: Casting with Number() may coerce string IDs to numbers
~~~
The remaining three casts appear legitimate: two casts to array indices,
one in a server to turn an environment variable into a number.
* Only implement timestamp IDs for Status IDs
Per discussion in #4801, this is only being merged in for Status IDs at
this point. We do this in a migration, as there is no longer use for
a post-migration hook. We keep the initialization of the timestamp_id
function as a Rake task, as it is also needed after db:schema:load (as
db/schema.rb doesn't store Postgres functions).
* Change internal streaming payloads to stringified IDs as well
This is equivalent to 591a9af356faf2d5c7e66e3ec715502796c875cd from
#5019, with an extra change for the addition to FeedManager#unpush.
* Ensure we have a status_id_seq sequence
Apparently this is not a given when specifying a custom ID function,
so now we ensure it gets created. This uses the generic version of this
function to more easily support adding additional tables with timestamp
IDs in the future, although it would be possible to cut this down to a
less generic version if necessary. It is only run during db:schema:load
or the relevant migration, so the overhead is extraordinarily minimal.
* Transition reblogs to new Redis format
This provides a one-way migration to transition old Redis reblog entries
into the new format, with a separate tracking entry for reblogs.
It is not invertible because doing so could (if timestamp IDs are used)
require a database query for each status in each users' feed, which is
likely to be a significant toll on major instances.
* Address review comments from @akihikodaki
No functional changes.
* Additional review changes
* Heredoc cleanup
* Run db:schema:load hooks for test in development
This matches the behavior in Rails'
ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.each_current_configuration, which
would otherwise break `rake db:setup` in development.
It also moves some functionality out to a library, which will be a good
place to put additional related functionality in the near future.
