[testlib] deprecate .remote_call and provide new connection api friendly .remote_calling

[webtests/propertysheet] kill an "import *"

[webtests/breadcrumbs] break long lines

[webtests/views_editforms] use the new connection api

[webtests/urlrewrite] do not store a plain entity on the test, only an eid

[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.

[webtests/views_staticcontrollers] use the new connection api

[webtests/views_selectors] use the new connection api

[webtest/pyviews] use the new connection api

[tests/sqlutils] use the new connection api

[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

[book] fix various parts of the rql section * syntax error * erroneous query * bad sphinx :func: usage

[repository] session -> cnx renaming (already done in the source object)

[tests/session] remove unused import

[tests/datafeed] use the new connection api

[tests/checkintegrity] use the new connection api * serverctl: the db-check command also uses an internal connection object, which makes more sense in the context of `checkintegrity`. * checkintegrity: rename srvcnx to just cnx (a bit because in the near future, there will be one cnx to rule them all)

[tests/schemaserial] kill star import

[web] Remove unreachable and broken code

[testlib] call init_config once the config has been properly bootstraped This should be done right after repository instantiation and as such involves giving CWTC.init_config as a callback to the test database handler (which will itself gives it to the repository initialization function). This unfortunatly requires to pass the init_config method to the server.init_repository function because it has to be called after the config has been initialized (which is done in Repository.__init__) but before the migration handler is instantiated (which will call 'server_maintainance' hook, hence may require the proper config). Another way to fix this would be to change the initialization sequence, but this is another story. Closes #3749378

[devtools] even better: use a plain Connection (server-side) object for pre_setup The previous commit switched from passing a Session to a ClientConnection. This fixes unittest_ldapsource's pre_setup_database, which relied on a server-side object to get at the repo.

[devtools] pre_setup_database should take a connection object

[tests/migration] use the new connection api

[tests/undo] use the new connection api

[js/ajax] deprecate user-callback support Related to #3567793.

EditRelationMixIn: stop using user_rql_callback Add generic add_relation/delete_relation ajax functions and use those. Related to #3567793

[tests/storage] use the new connection api
