[web] Return useful error messages when exceptions arise in ajax controllers (closes #3932503) The call to super() in RemoteCallException passes 'reason' all the way to python's Exception.__init__() which is then stored in Exception.args. This way, CubicWebPublisher.ajax_error_handler() gets a useful error message when calling unicode(exc). The change to uilib is just to prepend the exception type name. Just a small improvement.

[test] Fix test breakage uncovered by previous changeset Now that Binary.__eq__ doesn't always return true, this test started failing. CWAttribute.defaultval is zpickled, and the description_format attribute is a String, meaning unicode, so adjust the expected test result.

[etwist] use more specific REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE instead of BAD_REQUEST When a request body exceeds the configured limit, return 413 to the client instead of a generic 400.

[entities, view] delete dead code The auto_unwrap_bw_compat metaclass calls unwrap_adapter_compat, which was removed in changeset 697a8181ba30 "remove 3.9 bw compat". So this can't possibly work anymore, meaning we can get rid of it.

[book] stop talking about the hg `forest` extension

[book] update sections about dependencies This is probably incomplete, but it's a start.

[web/component] move unicode() call around Makes Aurélien happier.

[web/js] replace callAddOrDeleteThenReload with more generic callAjaxFuncThenReload That's going to be a more useful replacement for callUserCallbackThenReload. Closes #4178566.

[hooks/syncsession] try to remove cnx vs session confusion

Fix Binary.__eq__ (closes #4172701) Due to a typo we always returned true, which was unhelpful.

[dataimport] stop ignoring errors on flush That can only result in database corruption.

[dataimport] don't commit on flush Changeset 26cdfc6dd6f8 introduced this confusion for no apparent reason, and it doesn't make much sense.

[test] Add test for dataimport's RQLObjectStore

[dataimport] Stop swallowing errors from commit/flush Silent DB corruption is not OK. Also drop comment from ObjectStore.commit that I don't understand.

[dataimport] Update RQLObjectStore to Connection API Take a connection instead of a session. Don't play games with set_cnxset.

[dataimport] remove _rql heresy 1) ObjectStore knows nothing about rql, it just drops it on the floor 2) RQLObjectStore has a session, it can run rql that way 3) setting an object's "_rql" attribute is not a reasonable user-facing interface Also drop _commit attribute from base ObjectStore, it doesn't use it.

[dataimport] remove dead code The only caller of ObjectStore._put is ObjectStore.create_entity, which RQLObjectStore overrides (and doesn't call up).

[dataimport] do not use sys.exit() to raise missing argument error Related to #3845572

[dataimport] _create_copyfrom_buffer: add the tests Related to #3845572

[dataimport] _create_copyfrom_buffer: do not ignore columns if data is a list Related to #3845572

[dataimport] _create_copyfrom_buffer: fix datetime converter + add time converter Include second and microsecond in the output instead of dropping them on the floor. The time zone is not supported for now, though. Related to #3845572

[dataimport] _create_copyfrom_buffer: raise ValueError if conversion cannot be performed If the conversion fails, there is no reason to continue execution. One should notify the error. Continuing after a misconverted data could corrupt the database. Related to #3845572

[dataimport] _create_copyfrom_buffer: fix separator check in string converter The empty string is a valid replace_sep. Related to #3845572

[dataimport] _create_copyfrom_buffer: put converters into a list Cleans up the code to avoid a succession of ifs. Related to #3845572

merge 3.19.3 into 3.20 branch

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.19.3, cubicweb-debian-version-3.19.3-1, cubicweb-centos-version-3.19.3-1 for changeset 37f7c60f89f1

[pkg] prepare 3.19.3

merge from 3.18 branch

merge 3.17.16 into 3.18 branch

Remove uses of logilab.common.compat.{all,any} They're just aliases to the builtin ones on python 2.5+. If anyone needs convincing: >>> from logilab.common import compat >>> compat.any <built-in function any> >>> compat.all <built-in function all>

remove references to global environment variable APYCOT_ROOT

Add warning messages when enabling remote pickle-based repository access Warn when starting a pyro or zmq-only repo, or when one of these access methods is enabled. Closes #2919295

[web] Fix expiry of anonymous sessions (closes #4154479) Things like: try: foo except: bar else: baz doesn't work very well if you expect baz to run even in the exception case. Plus, session.cnx.check() is a dbapi remnant, so drop it and just look at session.mtime.

[hooks/syncschema] avoid altering a dropped table If the constraint's rdef is being removed, CWConstraintDelOp doesn't need to do anything. Otherwise it may try to alter a removed table/column. Closes #4154549

[js] fix name error

[devtools] improve error message when postgresql tools are missing By default in at least Debian, some pg tools are not present in the PATH. Or they may not be installed. But the tests tools expects them to be in the PATH, and give an unhelpful 'No such file or directory' backtrace if they're not found. To help devs using the pg tests we improve the error message.

[server] Replace non portable strftime formatter (closes #4132161)

[web/request] use a picklable Counter object for tab index counters Related to #1381328.

[web/auth] The auth retriever's authenticated() callback takes a session, not a cnx We don't have a cnx at that point.

[test] Fix the query-log-file test Testing this functionality in a CubicWebTC is awkward because the wrapping happens in handle_request, which tests basically bypass (they call core_handle directly, and do their own magic for linking the request with a cnx). The test method worked when ran on its own, but not together with the rest of the test class. So use a CubicWebServerTC instead, which goes through the whole stack.

[doc/book] spelling fixes in security tutorial

[doc/book] spelling fixes in "testing" chapter

[datafeed sources] finish the session -> cnx switch Related to #3933480.

[doc/book] update examples, using the new connection api

[test/entities] use the new connection api

[web] restore query logging functionality (closes #3972561) The query-log-file option stopped working when the web stack was moved from dbapi to repoapi.

[cwctl] make cubicweb-ctl versions lighter (closes #4002158) Set config.quick_start to avoid unnecessary appobjects and schema loading.

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.17.16, cubicweb-debian-version-3.17.16-1, cubicweb-centos-version-3.17.16-1 for changeset a979d1594af6

[forms] consider inline creation form information as linkto info. Closes #3161121

[pkg] prepare 3.17.16

[reledit] Fix reledit icons jumpiness (closes #4106867) Introduce an "invisible" class (copied verbatim from Bootstrap) that only sets the "visibility" property. "display: none" is the reason for the whole jumpiness as it actually detaches the element from the rendered layout. "visibility: hidden" only makes it transparent while keeping its original box properties (width, height, etc).

[views] Replace poorly named "invisible" class with "list-unstyled" "li.invisible" actually means "hide bullet". Use a reasonable name instead, such as bootstrap's "list-unstyled" class. This patch also changes the DOM element the class is applied to. "li.invisible" had to be enabled on every "li" tag, whereas the "list-unstyled" class only needs to be applied to the parent "ul" element.

[views] a 'div' with 'display: inline' screams 'span' (grafted from af6e3db801fcfbd6f562c4a7cfdc89f187042792)

[pkg] remove simplejson dependency We no longer use it, the stdlib's json module is fine.

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.19.2, cubicweb-debian-version-3.19.2-1, cubicweb-centos-version-3.19.2-1 for changeset 8ac2202866e7

[pkg] Fix version number Note to self: don't phase -p before coffee.

[tests/syncsession] use the new connection api

[webtests/application] remove unused imports

[webtests/application] .user(...) really wants a request object

[tests/datafeed] use the new connection api (a small leftover) Test assertions get indented because of self.session -> scoped cnx.

[webtests/urlrewrite] use the new connection api

[webtests/urlpublisher] use the new connection api

[webtests/baseviews] use the new connection api

[devtools/testlib,fill] use the new connection api (for auto_populate) Note that this changes API of CubicWebTC's custom_populate and post_populate methods to take a connection instead of a cursor, which may affect some cubes.

[webtests/automatic views tests] use the new connection api

[devtools/repotest] simplify a very small helper

[tests/repotest] use the new connection api

[tests/querier] use the new connection api (part 3/3) Some adaptations to devtools/repotest: * dead code removal * remove session related code In the tests: * many tests actually don't check the querier but some generic rql property -- when such a test needs several statements to complete a commit, switch to session.new_cnx * provide an assertRQLEqual helper

[test/querier] use the new connection api (part 2/3) A couple of tests need a schema constraint to be dropped to pass with `.qexecute`.

[test/querier] use the new connection api (part 1/3) In devtools/repotest, we provide a simple `.qexecute` with autocommit, and we use it (where possible) in unittest_querier. Note that the .session object is a real session, not the magic property found in CubicWebTC test classes.

[dbapi] allow talking to a pre-3.19 remote repository Closes #4071285

[migration] don't add new elements to config._cubes in remove_cube We're expanding dependencies based on the current versions of the cubes, which may well not be the same as the ones known by the db (we're in the middle of an upgrade, after all). Listing them in config._cubes prevents us from calling add_cube() later to actually add them. Closes #4002156

[web test] repair test broken by 0872ac2a1db0 after the above cset, during test instance's url is set before the creation of core entities (ie created at database initialization), hence they have now a valid cwuri.

[dataimport] Drop reference to the 'source' column (closes #4067694). CW 3.19 drops the multi-source support. This column does not exist in 3.19.

[notification] drop on commit sending of message feature of NotificationView It duplicates feature already provided by cw.hooks.notification.notify_on_commit function. Simplify the API on the way.

[datafeed parser] enhance retrieve_url to support POSTing data and custom HTTP headers Closes #3682069

[datafeed parser] fix retrieve_url to always return urllib2.urlopen compatible output as one should expect to be able to call geturl/getcode/info on the returned object whatever the url he gave. Related to #3682069

[datafeed parser] factor out retrieve_url method from DataFeedXMLParser.parse Related to #3682069

[datafeed] Allow to override use_cwuri_as_url in configuration of a datafeed source This is necessary because in some case one will want to write parser which create entities not one-to-one related to entities from the distant source (for instance see the `vcrs` cube which create entities holding statistics for code review, while not importing review entities themselves). Ideally we should provide a way to the parser to indicate the source that cwuri should not be used, but that's a start... Closes #3670210

merge from 3.19 branch

[entity/rset] replace scary warnings about ambiguous rdefs by XXX in the code users can't do anything about that and shouldn't see those warnings.

[web/js] Deprecate baseuri() and replace with BASE_URL (closes #3955372) Added by commit 8bf2337a6f3b and publicly available since 3.11.2 released more than 3 years ago.

[request] Ensure base_url() always has a trailing '/' (closes #3955093) Just as an example, cubicweb.ajax.js is clearly written under the assumption that BASE_URL/baseuri() - which simply contains req.base_url() - has a trailing /.

[schema] spelling fixes in doc strings

[views] a 'div' with 'display: inline' screams 'span'

[views] Rewrite cw.utils.formContents() with jQuery (closes #3747244) Use jQuery's serializeArray() method instead. Just keep a bit of compatibility with FCKEditor...

[web/data] Remove broken backward compatibility function popupLoginBox() was deprecated in favor of cw.htmlhelpers.popupLoginBox() However, the use of cw.utils.deprecatedFunction() is broken. In firebug: >>> popupLoginBox() TypeError: newfunc is undefined cubicweb.js:113 (ligne 13) This function was modified back in 2010, so it's been broken for 4 years. Let's just get rid of it. Closes #4042978

[repoapi] make ClientConnection call RequestSessionBase's init Not calling up means we're missing some attributes, like encoding.

[tests/postgres] use the new connection api

[tests/repository] use the new connection api (part 2/2) Some notes: * module imports cleanup * the unimplemented `test_transaction_interleaved` is wiped

[repository,tests] use the new connection api (part 1/2) `add_info` should not play with the cnxset nor the mode. Static analysis showed that: * add_info is an internal api called with a non-none cnx.cnxset and also in write mode * only the altered test violated this assumption, which is now somewhat documented
