i18n update

fix typos in workflow constraint error messages

[migractions] rschema.final.inlined -> rschema.inlined Closes #3153086.

[server] Make internal sessions not reset 'safe'-ness on first commit Increment the ctx_count when disabling integrity hooks so the next commit/rollback doesn't reset our transaction and magically turn us into a safe session. Closes #3168027

[facets] Correctly replace old 'edit box' HTML on facet-induced page refresh (closes #3161100)

[debian] replace find | xargs rm with find -delete in cube skeleton. Closes #3161797

[debian] don't require (fake)root to run the clean target. Closes #3161797 It works just fine as a normal user.

[debian] Add ${misc:Depends} to cube packaging skeleton. Closes #3161797 Best current practice is to have that in Depends in all packages using debhelper.

[devtools] fix race when creating backupdir If somebody else creates backupdir between our stat() and mkdir() (like, say, another test running in parallel), we shouldn't crash.

[staticcontrollers] Raise Forbidden, not Unauthorized Unauthorized means "log in to get access", as it results in a HTTP 401. Here, the error is pretty much permanent, and returning 401 instead of 403 confuses things terribly. (This seems to be a pretty widespread confusion :/)

[web] allow /data/ url again (closes #2464798) This feature was broken by 65fecbeb9c3a (which fixed another one itself).

[utils] fix typos in make_uid docstring

[c-c i18ncubicweb] fix crash, closes #3096647

[rql2sql] fix bad sql generated when outer joining 'identity' relation and lhs var comes from a subquery. Closes #3099418 The generated SQL was attempting to access table.cw_eid which doesn't exist.

[web] stop using deprecated StatusResponse. Closes #3098215

[deprecation] add (approximate) version number to deprecation message and set proper stacklevel

[schema] fix spurious warning when rqlexpr/constraint mainvars specify a non predefined variable. Closes #3098165

[repository] properly use IUserFriendlyError when UniqueTogetherError is raised during entity update. Closes #3096638

[deprecation] add cw version number to the deprecation message and help user to understand the change

[datafeed] fix crash due to bad http_timeout handling. Closes #3096585

[date picker widgets] properly distinguish DOM id and input name. Closes #3096575

[date picker widgets] use bare jquery expression rather than jqNode

Use return in CnxSetTracker context manager methods Just in case.

[web/views] make PrimaryView.entity_call accept kwargs It's useful when using this view in a different context to have it not crash on random arguments.

[ldapparser] demote some logs from warning to debug (closes #2713671)

[doc] add a what's new file for 3.18

merge stable in default (3.18) branch

Added tag cubicweb-centos-version-3.17.6-1, cubicweb-version-3.17.6, cubicweb-debian-version-3.17.6-1 for changeset 5b9fedf67a29

[pkg] prepare 3.17.6

Do not use cubicweb-card in rest_path tests Card overrides the rest_path method, so it does not make sense to use it in cw tests.

[inlined form field] fix regression introduced in 3.16.4/570208f74a84. Closes #3064653 In the above changeset, we changed ordered entities to be edited according to mandatory inlined constraints, though this leads to unpredictable order in cases where there are no constraint. This leads to case where inlined relation field may think there is no value related to a mandatory relation, while this is simply because there is a value specified but to an entity that will be created later (together with the relation). To fix this, we've to use the fact that the RelationField.process_form_value return None in cases where there is some entity to be created, while an empty set when there are no linked entity. The new no_value() method allows to differentiate between those different notion of 'no-value'.

[testlib] temporary_appobjects should call __registered__ if it exists. Closes #3064075

[entities] properly escape in EmailAddress.printable_value when format is html. Closes #3064025

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.17.5, cubicweb-debian-version-3.17.5-1, cubicweb-centos-version-3.17.5-1 for changeset 15dd5b37998b

[pkg] prepare 3.17.5

[pkg] fix debian packaging (closes #3058542) - remove useless Python 2.4 reference, - simplify dh_install configuration to install files consistently instead of having half in /usr/lib/pythonXX and half in /usr/share/pyshared, - incidentally, this makes the package work on squeeze. Regression from eaa58d1c7d5f

[testing] add missing generate_bigint method to ValueGenerator. Closes #3059327

[rql / querier] fix bad interpretation of some RQL SET query when some neged relation is involved. Closes #3058527.

merge stable in default (3.18) branch

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.17.4, cubicweb-debian-version-3.17.4-1, cubicweb-centos-version-3.17.4-1 for changeset c7ba8e5d2e45

[i18n] cleanup dead code also fix small bug introduced in b0f6e8c14e7f

[i18n test] hack to make i18n tests run using a Python interpreter they used to work fine when executed via pytest only. This should be removed as soon as logilab.common.registry is fixed.

[i18ncube] fix crash due to duplicated messages in generated schema.pot Add a test case and fix regression introduced in e713c47a993d. Relates to #2811282

[i18n test] load_po: fix bug in case of multi-lines msgid and ensure there are no duplicated messages

[i18n test] simplify test cube a bit by only providing a views module, no package

[web] consider inlined relations in has_editable_relation. Closes #3049970 In some cases where the user can only add/edit inlined relations (though actually edit perms of the inlined relation doesn't seem checked), the "modify" action doesn't appear while it should.

[web test] silent 3.13 warning

[editcontrollers] Account for role in the ordering of entities (Complements #3031719) Only role='object' was correctly accounted for by 570208f74a84

[migration.sync_schema_props_perms] ensure all participants to a unique together constraint are there before adding CWUniqueConstraint. Closes #3038345

[session commit] save back exception context to avoid potentiel cluttering if some revert operation raise an exception

[pkg] python-central has been removed from Debian

[pkg] prepare 3.17.4

[pkg] merge centos 3.17.1-2 in stable (prepare 3.17.4)

Added tag cubicweb-centos-version-3.17.1-2 for changeset 965f894b63cb

[rqlrewrite] fix rqlrewrite unpredictability vs relation sharing. Closes #3036144 The relations index used to determine if relation may be shared only considered a single relation node per relation type. So when the same relation type occurs several time, dict order give unpredictable result. We shall properly consider all relations instead. Tentative test case included (but bug reproduction is by definition unpredictable...)

[rqlrewrite] rewrite doesn't need a solutions argument, always use the Select'ones Also, do a copy systematically else it may lead to empty solutions depending on the rewrite path. Test case tentative included in the following changeset.

[rql rewrite] equivalent but much simpler flow

[pkg] Prepare a new RPM release

[pkg] Add log directory to rpm

[repo] normalize ValidationError on edited entity (closes #2509729) In CubicWeb, ValidationError.entity MUST be the eid of the involved entity, not the entity iteself (as done by yams).

[doc] one must now manipulate the req.session.data dict (closes #2842345) instead of deprecated get/set/del_session_data methods.

[datafeed] add a timeout config option (closes #2745677) So a HTTP GET do not hang forever in the datafeed looping task.

[dataimport] ucsvreader should skip empty lines unless specified otherwise. Closes #3035944

[querier] Add timings to debug prints (DBG_RQL) this may ease to spot some problematic queries

[editcontrollers] Ensure entities are created in an order satisfying schema constraints. Closes #3031719 changes below are also necessary to make the whole thing works: * stop considering InlinedFormFile as eidparam field since they don't hold any value * rework 'pendingfields' handling to have separate processing of inlined fields whose subject entity is created during the edition

[editcontroller] extract RQLQuery.set_attribute/set_inlined methods from handle_field/handle_inlined_relation

[editcontroller] req=self._cw makes things easier to read

[facets,js] fix bogus checkbox icon appearing after the first interaction (closes #2790332) This is because of the hardcoding of the data/ url.

fix typos in docstring, doc and comments

[debian] remove workaround for broken sphinx/jquery combination sphinx in squeeze was updated: http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sphinx/news/20130112T154737Z.html

[schema] mark CWDataImport as an internal type. Closes #3025536

[pkg] remove deprecated dependency on pysqlite2

Fix two crashes in db-check (closes #3024964) Also improves various debugging messages.

[rql rewrite] may_be_shared_with should consider relation's scope (closes #3024730) When a relation's scope is not the current statement, it must not be shared (instead of comparing the statement).

[rql rewrite] fix may_be_shared_with method so that it actually considers all variable infos and not only the first one

[schema/security] add __hash__ to rql expression. Closes #3013535 This is required so that when some rql expression participate to a dictionary key, only the expression is considered (consistent with comparison). This behaviour is expected in security at least, see the related bug for instance. This scramble msplanner unit tests a bit.

[rql rewrite] move some code from querier to rqlrewrite where it makes more sense. Also, make some minor cleanup/refactoring on the way and try to enhance docstrings. Relates to #3013535

Do not compute actions list in TableLayout view when display_actions attribute is unset Closes #3007281

Use the list of cubes from the filesystem when reading the schema from the filesystem Closes #3007259

[migration] when adding a cube, skip infered relations (closes #3005576) Skipped infered relations are recalculated later.

[3.17 migration] when some cube is missing, add_cube raise ConfigurationError, not ImportError. Closes #2981477

[migraction] rename_entity_type simply warn if old entity type isn't in the schema. Closes #3004069

[deprecation] fix uihelper deprecation warning, use the rtag name, not the class, so it may be copy/pasted

[test] makes fti test order-agnostic (closes #3005633)

[web/views/staticcontrollers] Make ConcatFilesHandler write to a tempfile In order to be more resistant to errors such as ENOSPC, and against different threads accessing the same static data, we: - concatenate data files to a temporary file, and rename it once we're done - delete the tempfile in case of errors - protect the creation of the cache_concat file with a lock Closes #3005547

[test] make unittest_schema.py compatible with cubicweb-file 0.14

merge 3.16.6 branch in 3.17

Added tag cubicweb-centos-version-3.16.6-1, cubicweb-debian-version-3.16.6-1, cubicweb-version-3.16.6 for changeset b4ccaf13081d

Prepare 3.16.6

[devctl] properly generate i18n messsages for cubes that uses uicfg instances (closes #2811282)

[test/devctl] add a test case for i18ncube command

Protect against crash in the `relation_possible` predicate with ambiguous relations. It was still possible to get a KeyError when using relations that are ambiguous at both ends, like (Executable, version_of, Program) & (Version, version_of, Project). Closes #3010148.

[test] give a non-ambiguous order to sync_schema assertion (closes #3001959) Sorting by ordernum alone is unstable since several values have the same ordernum. ordernum + name should be stable.

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.17.3, cubicweb-debian-version-3.17.3-1, cubicweb-centos-version-3.17.3-1 for changeset 32b4d5314fd9

[test] typo

[schema,server] add a security debugging aid (closes #2920304) - Add a DGB_SEC debugging flag (to be used with set_debug/debugged). - Add a context manager (tunesecurity) to filter security assertions. Note: this does not address all read-security mecanisms.

[etwist] fix handling of multiple files per field html5 permits multiple files uploads, which can be expressed as:: <input type='file' multiple='multiple' /> This changeset avoids previous crash. Nothing is changed when a single file is uploaded (backward compat is thus preserved). When multiple files are uploaded for a single html input tag, the corresponding web request form key receives a list of tuples like [('filename-1', IStream1), ('filename-2', IStream2), ...]. closes #2847207.

[merge] start 3.18 development

[pkg] prepare 3.17.3

[pkg] Remove obsolete ubuntu hardy packaging It's been EOL for a while.

[book] fix sphinx documentation generation (closes #2991997) changeset 17994bf95d6a ([doc] update Session documentation) added cubicweb.server.session.Session autodoc to the book. This caused errors from sphinx due to a section title not being allowed in the class's docstring.

[test/ldap] fix ldap tests - make sure the url is properly updated on database setup (when the test database already exists and the ldap URI has changed) - fix the ldapuser test setup process.

[test] fix unittest_schemaserial.py A spurious add permission has been added in expected result by d988eec2d5d3

[test] make unittest_schemaserial.py runnable with python used to run fine only when launched using pytest

[facet] use facet name as input name for text widget (eg has_text) we need to ba able to distinguish between text-inputs so we can write a widget for a single facet that uses more than one text input. This fix consists in the diff in cubicweb.facts.js; modifications in facet.py result from this former.

[web doctype] don't give through reset_xmldecl to avoid double deprecation warning

[web doctype test] don't give reset_xmldecl to avoid deprecation warning

[devtool] randomise available ports search in http test This lowers the chance of parallel tests to race for the same port.

[facet] don't crash if no title specified on a facet and filtered rset is empty. Closes #2587883

[css, html] add a css_class attribute on Button, allowing to change easily default CSS class for buttons (think orbui integration)

[view] add 2 missing spaces before the previous link

[server/repository] Go through the repo to close pyro sessions Turns out session.close() doesn't DTRT.

fix migration from pre-3.13.1 versions (closes #2846978) Need to check the existence of the asource column before the first call to eid_type_source.

[constraint] more robust unicity constraint failures reporting for end-users Postgres or Sqlserver have limits on the index names (around resp. 64 and 128 characters). Because `logilab.database` encodes the `unique together` constraint rtypes in the index names, we sometimes get truncated index names, from which it is impossible to retrieve all rtypes. In the long run, the way such index are named should be changed. In the short term, we try to reduce the end-user confusion resulting from this design flaw: * in source/native, the regex filtering ``IntegrityError`` message does not impose an `_idx` suffix, which indeed may be absent (the result being an UI message that resembles a catastrophic failure), * also we avoid including a trailing " (double quote) from the error message * in entities/adapters, the well-named ``IUserFriendly`` adapter is made a bit smarter about how to handle missing rtypes. * the adapter also always produces a global message explaining the issue (and the fact that sometimes, the user is not shown all the relevant info) * i18n is updated Closes #2793789

[hooks/security] Streamline attributes default permission check. The current default permission on attributes delegates the check to the entity permission update policy. Since this is already checked it can be skipped. The equality comparison will work, even with a deserialized schema, because the default update perm is:: ('managers', ERQLExpression(Any X WHERE U has_update_permission X, X eid %(x)s, U eid %(u)s)) which will always be deserialized in this order (groups first). However this is a slight semantic change: entity type level 'update' permissions can now be effectively used to encode update-time rules if the default attribute permissions are used (before this change, the 'update' rules at entity type level were fired at creation time). Closes #2930861.

[test/schemaserial] swap got/expected to get nicer unittest2 diagnostics Prepares #2965518.

[repository] drop safe attribute on ``internal_cnx`` People that need to disable hook can do it explicitly anyway.

[dbapi] deprecated the dbapi

[repoapi] deprecate dbapi compat method

[testlib] deprecated the older api to access the repo.

[connection] deprecated free_cnset and set_cnxset

[session] deprecate all Connection related method on session

[session] drop dead _current_cnx_id Not used anymore for a few commit.

[session] privatise get_cnx and close_cnx The only user, repoapi now use ``new_cnx``

[doc] add documentation for the new API in test

[testlib] add an default testcase.adminaccess (and use it for default session) This adminaccess is the new offical way to get connection, and request on a repo.

[testlib] introduce a RepoAccess class to easily create connection and request Each RepoAccess hold a session for a user and three helper function to help create Connection, ClientConnection of WebRequest related to this session. related to #2920299

[repoapi] make ClientConnection.__enter__ return self This allow the standard idiom:: with repoapi.connect(repo, login='babar', passwork='elephant') as cnx: cnx.execute(…)

[documentation] describe repoapi and web side change. Short version explaining what object replace what and that BC existes for a few version.

[testlib] use internal_cnx instead of internal_session internal_session is deprecated.

[repository] add an ``internal_cnx`` method to replace ``internal_session`` Accessing the repo through a Session is deprecated. We need an easy replacement for ``internal_session``. This API change was a good occasion to stop disabling integrity hook by default. This is huge source of bug in user-code. related to #2503918

[connection] enforce that a connection must be open to be used The same than for ClientConnection, we ensure the connection is used inside a its context. .. note:: We may rely on that for ClientConnection and remove de dedicated code in Client Connection but I prefer the current explicite and duplicated version for now.

use standalone Connection to Client Connection

[session] add a new_cnx factory Having user-code importing cubicweb.server.session.Connection is inconvenient. We add a simple factory fonction on the session.

[connection] allow simple instantiation of standalone Connection Such connection will automatically pick a connection id. Note, They are not automatically closed on session close. But they will fails to grab new cnxset once the session is closed.

[connection] handle and explicitly life cycle on Connection Like ClientConnection, Connection object need to be explicitly started and stop. They aims to be used as context manager.

[sesion] distinction between Connection handled by the session and other. Not mixing the new and backward compat approach seems a good idea. Let's enforce it.

[session] replace _clear_thread_storage with close_cnx There is not good reason to keep two distinct method.

[session] explicitly take Connection object in close_cnx Now that ClientConnection explicitly reference and use the Connection object we do not need to use connectionid here. We can safely change this signature, ClientConnection is the only use of close_cnx for now.

[session] drop the Session._clear_cnx_storage method It is just cnx.clear() now.

[session] wrap too long line Too long line is too long. (Confucius 503 BC)

[session] gather close_cnx with get_cnx and set_cnx They do the same kind of operation and deserve to be grouped together.

[client-connection] remove the _srv_cnx usage It does not do anything special now that we use explicite Connection object with automatic cnx_set handling.

[client-connection] explicitly check that the client-connection is open The check is also perform by the _srv_cnx property. But we do not need those property anymore.

[client-connection] handle the lack of connection id while not open the connection id is computed at opening and forgotten when closing. We can't rely on it in various messages … like the "connection closed" exception.

[connection] transparent cnx_set handling Connection object while take cares of there cnxset themself (as dbapi connection does). The ``set_cnxset`` and ``free_cnxset`` operation are still available for backward compatibility purpose. The ``_auto_free_cnx_set`` is introduced to handle mixed usage. A new context manager ``connection.ensure_cnx_set`` is added for code that access ``cnx.cnxset`` directly and are not wrapped in any specific ``Connection`` method. A ``_with_cnx_set`` decorator is used on all Connection method that need a cnxset.

[client-connection] explicit the client part in __repr__ Now that we have real server side connection we need to remove ambiguity.

[ClientConnection] directly use the Connection object to access the database Now that Connection are a full featured standalone object we can directly reference and use it in the ClientConnection instead of using the session. The session object is kept around for a while to perform various utility role.

[connection] invert __init__ parameter Takes session first. At some point, the connection_id will become optional for Connection created explicitly.

[service] enforce that Service argument and return are json-serialisable The call_service API need to be able to run through RPC. So we ensure front start that it is possible serialise both input and output.

[connection] move call_service on Connection This is the last step toward standalone transaction.

[connection] move the commit method on Connection object One step closer of standalone Connection!

[connection] move the rollback method on Connection object One step closer of standalon Connection.

[connection] pass a Connection object to RQLRewriter RQLRewriter can now directly use a Connection object. No need for specific handling session side.

[connection] Connection.execute touch Session timestamp This allow to keep Session alive while using Connection object only for database access.

[connection] Connection now call _set_user to CWUser object linked to itseld Session.user is linked to the session.

[server/session] better faking of user for InternalManager

[connection] move execute All necessary method are now available on the Connection object. So the Connection can handle RQL execution itself.

[connection] mark Connection as "not a request" The ORM use this information. Having a wrong value will lead to crash.

[server/session] ensure appobject obtained from the session are linked to the session

[connection] have rql_rewriter accession on Connection Code expecting a session search the RQLRewriter on this attribute.

[connection] move local_perm_cache management on Connection It belongs here anyway.

[session] use a rich object for timestamp This allows the Transaction to keep a reference to it

[migraction] do not access session.data directly use set_shared_data and get_shared_data instead

[connection] move relation management method

[connection] give access to shared data method A reference to session data are kept

[connection] move relation cache method to Connection needed for execute (and need execute themself...)

[connection] give access to session execute from connection This allows multiple function that both requires an execute method and are required by the execute method.

[connection] move last part of undo logic in connection Now that Connection have a reference to the repo it can handle all of it itself

[connection] initialize connection.user and connection.lang A RequestSessionBase need a user and lang. For now we use the session ones. Later the Connection will have it's own.

[Connection] inherit from RequestSessionBase This contains a lot method. We need them to move more code from Session to connection.

[multi-sources] drop multi-sources related test. another branch is removing the multi-source itself. We do not want to bother fixing those test.

Use new repoapi for the web stack The publisher now link repoapi.ClientConnection to request. and explicitly control there scope. Web side, appobject._cw.cnx is now a repoapi.ClientConnection. This actually kill webonly possibility until the repoapi is able to use some RPC. The change in the authentication stack is very hasty and need cleanup

PARTIAL: Using the repoapi in test Test now use the repoapi.ClientConnection to access the repo. This is very big change. The current method to access the repo are kept for backward compatibility. The new methods will be introduced much later. The TestCase keep a ClientConnection To an admin session for the whole test. This changeset does not makes all tests pass without the next one that change set htt without the next one that change the http stack

[web/test] drop proff of concept Facebook login in test The authentication stack will change. The change in API will requires rework of user cube anyway.

[test/dbapi] do not rely on the Testcase provided cnx We plan to use the repoapi in the test. So we need the DBAPI test to explicitly create a DBAPI connection.

[dbapi] explicitly use the DBAPI version of CubicwebRequestBase As we plan to use a ConnectionCubicwebRequestBase by default we better have the dbapi explicitly asking for a DBAPI implementation.

[web/application] drop unused import unused since 3c85e734ce00

[web/test] properly reset the request connection related attribute A new request does not have those attribute to None. There have special value that we now properly reinstall.

[web/test] drop two undocumented suspicious regression test Those two test are not documented and use the API in the wrong way. They do not raise exception by chance. the current request signature is:: def request(self, rollbackfirst=False, url=None, headers={}, **kwargs): So the RQL have nothing to do here.

[webrequest] introduce an alternative implementation using the repoapi DBAPI specific parts of ``CubicWebRequestBase`` are extracted in a ``DBAPICubicWebRequestBase`` decicated class and a new ``ConnectionCubicWebRequestBase`` is introduced that provide the same services but using a repoapi.ClientConnection as data source. For now the ``DBAPICubicWebRequestBase`` is still used by default.

[repoapi] add an anonymous_cnx function This function return an anonymous ClientConnection. It aims to replace ``dbapi.anonymous_session``.

[repoapi] add a connect function This function takes a repo and authentication information to open a new Session and return a ClientConnection associated to it.

[client-connection] add an auto-close property for ClientConnection The next commit introduce a connect function that open a new Session and return an associated ClientConnection. The Session should not be used by anything else than the created ClientConnection, so we want to close it at the same time than the ClientConnection. The implementation in this changeset is simplistic. We probably want to move this notion in the session itself. This be improved once we have server side Connection

[cwuser] make CWUser callable, returning self for dbapi compatibility In the dbapi, Connection and Session have a ``user`` method to generated a user for a request In the repo api, Connection and Session have a user attribute inherited from SessionRequestBase prototype. This ugly hack allows to not break user of the user method. To ease transition from dbapi to repoapi we need the ClientConnection to be as compatible as possible with the dbapi. Adding this method goes in this direction. It'll get deprecated in the deprecation wave that will conclude the repoapi refactoring. related to #2503918

[client-connect] drop rqlst on rset returned client side The DBAPI used to drop the RQL syntax tree on rset to save bandwidth. We could stop doing it for In-memory client connection. However keeping the syntax tree leads to multiple tests failures. So we keep dropping it as the DBAPI always did. related to #2503918

[client-connection] add a repo property for dbapi compatibility To ease transition from dbapi to repoapi we need the ClientConnection to be as compatible as possible with the dbapi. Adding this method goes in this direction. It'll get deprecated in the deprecation wave that will conclude the repoapi refactoring. related to #2503918

[client-connection] add a connection property for dbapi compatibility To ease transition from dbapi to repoapi we need the ClientConnection to be as compatible as possible with the dbapi. Adding this method goes in this direction. It'll get deprecated in the deprecation wave that will conclude the repoapi refactoring. related to #2503918

[client-connection] add a sessionid property for dbapi compatibility To ease transition from dbapi to repoapi we need the ClientConnection to be as compatible as possible with the dbapi. Adding this method goes in this direction. It'll get deprecated in the deprecation wave that will conclude the repoapi refactoring. related to #2503918

[client-connection] add a cursor() method for dbapi compatibility To ease transition from dbapi to repoapi we need the ClientConnection to be as compatible as possible with the dbapi. Adding this method goes in this direction. It'll get deprecated in the deprecation wave that will conclude the repoapi refactoring. related to #2503918

[client-connection] add a request() method for dbapi compatibility To ease transition from dbapi to repoapi we need the ClientConnection to be as compatible as possible with the dbapi. Adding this method goes in this direction. It'll get deprecated in the deprecation wave that will conclude the repoapi refactoring. related to #2503918

[repoapi] introduce a basic ClientConnection class This is the new official way to access the repo from client side. It still access Session object directly as the server side connection is not up yet (and it's not up because it would have no user). Multiple follow up commit will install compatibility with the DBAPI. This will ease the migration from dbapi to repoapi. ClientConnection has no user yet but later commit will use it in the whole Web stack. related to #2503918

[req] add a _set_user method RequestSessionBase usally need to recreate a new CWuser appobject linked to themself. We add it to the base class to avoid multiple redifinition.

[server/session] add a login property session.login is a DBAPISession attribute. Having it on server side session will helps the rework of the API to access repository. The new schema drop the concept of DBAPISession and use server side session for the same purpose. related to #2503918

[server/session] allow access to session id using sessionid session.sessionid is a DBAPISession attribute. Having it on server side session will helps the rework of the API to access repository. The new schema drop the concept of DBAPISession and use server side session for the same purpose. related to #2503918

[server/session] Implement anonymous_session Now we have a simple rule to compute if a session is anonymous we can implement the property for server session too. Having it on server side session will helps the rework of the API to access repository. The new schema drop the concept of DBAPISession and use server side session for the same purpose. Related to #2953943 Related to #2503918

[server/session] do not clear session.cnx if unrelated to cnx actually cleared The cnx parameter may be different from the one actually loaded for the current thread. This will be possible in future commit when you close a client connection for example.

[dbapi] move ProgrammingError into cubicweb module A new ``repoapi`` will be introduced as a replacement for the dbapi. It will need ProgrammingError too. Related to #2503918

[repoapi] move get_repository function into a new repoapi module This new module aims to host the function of the new API replacing the old DBAPI. `get_repository` is still needed hence moved to the new module. Related to #2503918

[testlib] gather all repository access logic in one place Refactoring of the repository access API in test is imminent. We plan to move from the "old" dbapi to the new repoapi. Gathering all impacted method in one place help to understand how all those method interact and help readability for both patch and resulting code. No code change is done at all in this changeset. The refactoring will code later.

[testlib] move repo and related attribute back on Instance instead of Class The repo and cnx was hold by the TestCase class to work as a cache and avoid recreation of the repo from scratch of each test. However since bad26a22fe29 the caching is done by the DatabaseHandler object and it is not necessary have a second layer of cache on the TestCase itself. We move the repo and cnx attribute back on the TestCase instance itself and make several class methods instance methods again. This will helps to change dbapi access in test from dbapi to repoapi. related to #2503918

[dbapi] makes anonymous_connection a computed property The current implementation is a boolean flag set manually by client code after connection creation. This led to different way to decide a anonymous_connection should be True (eg. different in the test than in the actual application code). It should not be client responsibility to set this flag. ``cnx.anonymous_connection`` is now a purely computed property. Connection with user in the "guests" group are anonymous, the other ain't. ``Session.anonymous_session`` is computed from ``cnx.anonymous_connection`` and get the updated behavior transparently. Closes #2953943

[webrequest] simplify set_session code Thanks to the previous changeset we are assured that session handed to set_session is full featured one. This allows a simpler code for this method. related to #2503918

[webrequest] set DBAPISession without cnx at initialisation time Such session are necessary for minimal use of a Request. Setting on by default allow simplification later linking with a full featured DBAPISession or equivalent. This was not possible before as all session was tracked by session manager. They are not tracked anymore since aa709bc6b6c1 and we can safely create them by default. related to #2503918

[testlib] rework request building in init_authentication The previous code was building a full authenticated request and tried to undo the authentication afterward. The new code just create a bare Request with no authenticated session linked yet. This is much closer of what the actual authentication process does.

[request] drop the user argument for set_session I see no code nor test that use this optional argument. removing it help to clean the session code. The set_session function will soon be deprecated anyway (at the same time than the dbapi) related to #2503918

[web-request] handle default language earlier We now read language negotiation header at initialisation time (previously done during ``set_session``). This simplify the set_session code for later reworking. There is no change in behavior, the user selected language continue to overwrite the one picked from the header/default when applicable. related to #2503918

[etwist] pass the repository to the root resource This is another step toward a cleaner instantiation scheme for the repo. The http test now pass an already created object to the etwist server instead of relying on the config cache. Related to #2249513

[repo] move repo.gc_stats to Service API (closes #2951068) We currently have a method on the repo that anyone can call. `call_service` gives a similar thing, modulo: * can be restricted access to manager only (thanks to selection on services), * less unrelated code on the repository class, * no need to fetch a reference to a repo object from the client side * (`req._cnx.repo` is not an API and config.repository() is on its way out). The old way to access this information (repo.gc_stats()) is deprecated.

[repo] move repo stats to Service (closes #2951067) We currently add a new method on repo that anyone can call. Call service allows to reach the same result with: * Restricted access to manager only (thanks to selection on services), * Less unrelated code on the repo. * No need to fetch a reference to a repo object from client side. `req._cnx.repo` is not an API and config.repository() is on its way out. The old way to access this information (repo.stats()) is deprecated.

[service] drop the asynchronous execution possibility Call_service was able of both sync and sync execution making the API confusing. There is not user of the async case. We drop the async argument in favor of synchronous execution only. This makes call_service the official API to call server side code from the client side. This is a remplacement for the usual monkey patching of the repo object. The zmq notification bus is a solid alternative for codes that needs to start an async execution.

[auth] pass `repo` instead of `vreg` to SessionManager and AuthenticationManager Those object actually need a repo object to connect and create new session object. They used to retrieve the repo object using ``vreg.config.repository()``. I'm trying to sanitise the initialisation stack and get ride of ``config.repository()``, a function that mix factory and cache. Retrieving the vreg from the repo is trivial (``repo.vreg``) so we now pass the repo object instead of the vreg.

web/application: instantiate the repository outside of CubicWebPublisher This improves decoupling and allows ``CubicWebPublisher`` user to choose which argument are used during ``Repository`` instantiation. In particular is allows caller to provide a ``TaskManager``. The `vreg` argument of publisher is made mandatory. See CubicWebPublisher docstring for details. Related to #2249513

remove vreg argument to CWPublisher The passing a vreg to CWPublisher was used by test to allow reused of an existing vreg. We dropped this feature two commit ago and can safely removes it. Removing this argument allows later cleanup and improvement on the CWPublisher and Repository front. closes #2944813

[devtools] vreg becomes a class ppty After multiple devtools refactoring, the vreg used for test is now *always* got from the repository. Making this explicit is a step toward simplification of the vreg handling during various initialisation phases. Related to #2944813

[devtools] drop unused `reset_schema` and `reset_vreg` class attribute They have no effect and no user... Related to #2944813

[connection] move security control logic on Connection The _security_enabled context manager now operate on connection. We have to keep a specific entry point in Session to ensure Connection object are properly cleaned up when using session to "manage" Connection live cycle. Related to #2503918

[connection] move hook control logic on Connection The _hook_control context manager now operate on connection. We have to keep a specific entry point in Session to ensure Connection object are properly cleaned up when using session to "manage" Connection live cycle. Related to #2503918

[session] update _hook_control docstring

[connection] reinstall cnx.data as cnx.transaction_data Too much code expects self._cw.data to be session data. backout 9b2f68916474 Related to #2503918 Related to #2912807

[connection] give access to is_internal_session boolean Needed if we are to use this object like we currently do with session. Related to #2503918

[req] drop from_controller on non WebRequest object (Closes #2901079) The `controller` concept is purely a web things. It does not belong to generic `req` object. The `build_url` code is slightly changed to handle that. This probably requires extended cleanup later. This is a barely used and very internal API. No deprecation period

[connection] add logging method on connection If we are to use this object like we currently do with session, we need to have the logging method as a lot of code use them.

rename server.session.transaction into server.session.connection The ongoing rework of the API to access the database include the splitting of Session in two objects: The ``Session`` object will only hold credential (user) and global session data. A new object will publicly emerge to handle a database access. This object is named ``Connection`` since that the way database accessors with the same property are named in other system. So we renamed the ``Transaction`` object into ``Connection``. The ``Transaction`` object have already grown in the direction of something directly usable by generic code, but the name ``Transaction`` is ill suited as such object can be used for multiple database transaction in a row. Related to #2503918

[application] call req.set_session in application.main_handle_request The Session handling chain is no more responsible for calling req.set_session. It just returns a valid session and lets the caller link it to the Request. This opens the way to explicitly creating and closing a connection/transaction in ``application.main_handle_request``. Related to #2503918

[session-handler] use session directly to update last usage We don't really need the WebRequest for that. Not using the WebRequest to access the cubicweb repository here will allow a delayed set_session. Related to #2503918

[application/connect] simplify connection logic ``application.connect`` now either sets a full featured ``DBAPISession`` to the ``WebRequest`` object or raises ``AuthenticationError``. The creation and usage of a fake DBAPISession is now handled by ``main_handle_request`` when needed. This means that fake DBAPISession are no longer tracked by the session manager and that user are not given anyway to retrieve them for a later request. This fake DBAPISession is still passed to ``core_handle`` because multiple cubes like registration or forgotten password need this behavior. We would like to get ride of it in the future. This clarification of the connection API greatly simplifies ``DBAPISession`` retrieval//creation process opening the way to improvements in this area. Related to #2503918

Drop hijack user (closes #2901093) Deprecated since 3.17.0. Dropping this function help the session cleanup business.

[sources] drop support for ldapuser source (closes #2936496) The ldapfeed source is a replacement for ldapuser. Use it instead.

repository: make tests pass again The tests use mono-threaded pyro, which breaks assumptions made in e27337dfec8c. To fix that, remove sessions from the _pyro_sessions dict when they're closed, and force the test pyro client to actually disconnect when it's done.

repository: monkey patch pyro connection handling to detect clients going away When a pyro client goes away we need to close their session (to release their cnxset). Add a dict to the repository mapping pyro client threads to session object. Closes #2932058

notification: use viewargs for notif_entity_updated instead of transaction_data Now that notifications use separate sessions, they can't rely on the original transaction_data being around, so pass the data through view arguments instead, so the notification view knows what changed on updated entities. Closes #2936180

notification: properly handle cnx and lifetime of the hijacked session When we create a session for the notification rendering, we need to 1) give it a cnxset 2) commit and close it after we're done 3) restore the original session for subsequent notifications This changes the ordering of actual mail sending, since there are several different commits involved, but I don't see a way to fix that short of restoring hijack_user.
