[devtools] Use super() in TestServerConfiguration.__init__() While cleaning up the use of init_config() in WSGIAppTC, I wondered why the method was trying to set the 'https_uiprops' and 'https_datadir_url' attributes on the config, when WebConfiguration's __init__ should be taking care of setting them. WSGIAppTC uses the default configuration - one that derives from ApptestConfiguration (noted as G below). The issue is that the class hierarchy of ApptestConfiguration includes TestServerConfiguration (C in the graph below) which calls ServerConfiguration's __init__ directly (B below). As B does not have an __init__ method, CubicWebConfiguration's __init__ is called directly (A below). This has the unintended consequence of preventing WebConfiguration's __init__ from being called. A / \ B D | | C E \ / F | G | ... A: cwconfig.CubicWebConfiguration B: server.serverconfig.ServerConfiguration C: devtools.TestServerConfiguration D: web.webconfig.WebConfiguration E: etwist.twconfig.WebConfigurationBase F: devtools.BaseApptestConfiguration G: devtools.ApptestConfiguration NB: unittest_wsgi wasn't really broken, as it's the only test in wsgi/test/, but I figured I might as well clean it up.

[devtools] Fix database creation issues for CubicWebTestTC tests To reproduce (with a purged repo): * python web/test/test_jscript.py * python web/test/unittest_views_xmlrss.py The '__default_empty_db__' will contain the wrong 'base_url' configuration, thus breaking URLs in the xmlrss tests. Closes #9297611.

[devtools] Fix database creation issues for CubicWebServerTC tests To reproduce (with a purged repo): * python web/test/unittest_web.py MiscOptionsTC * python web/test/unittest_views_xmlrss.py The core issue is that CubicWebServerConfig.default_base_url() is called inside init_config(), which is called during the equivalent of 'db-create'. The '__default_empty_db__' will contain the wrong 'base_url' configuration, thus breaking URLs in the xmlrss tests. Related to #9297611.

[devtools] Move attribute docstring to correct location

[web] Make tests pass if tal isn't available

[py3k] fix cubicweb.mail.parse_message_id base64.b64decode returns bytes. Fixes sobjects/test/unittest_notification.py.

[repository] remove unused check_session method and its test Related to #1381328.

[migration/test] avoid test interdependency by removing fakecustomtype cube There is still a failing test afterward but it doesn't seem related to changes in this series.

[migration/test] use numeric(precision, scale) instead of geometry The latter requires the postgis extension which is overkill for this test.

[server, hooks] allow callable in dbh.TYPE_MAPPING This is necessary for cubes introducing new custom final types whose generated sql may depend on some extra configuration, avoiding ugly-buggy hack as done currently by the postgis cube. Closes #7569998

[migration] consider extra_props in rdef created during attribute creation hook else we may miss important data such as type parametrization (see postgis.Geometry for instance). Related to #7569998

[migration] only define variable if needed

[migration] handle non-existing attribute type when adding an entity type The final type needs to be added to the schema first. Related to #7569998.
