[devtools] prevent Xvfb resets Seems like firefox opens more than one connection to the X server in some cases, and things get utterly confused.

[LDAP] rename unittest ldapuser to ldapsource (prepares #2528116) the tests involved are not only for ldapuser module but also for the more general ldapfeed Necessary to prepare LDAP patch for CWgroup

[devtools] protect xvfb-run.sh against clean_up being called twice

[web] move qunit test back into web and fix the hanging qunit test can not work outside web. a lot of try/finally clause have been added to prevent qunit to hang on error. A not a test a indeed broken. But we at least put in them a running state again..

[test] drop forsaken windmill test (Closes 2535376) * not run since multiple years * windmill itself is in poor shape not even packaged in Debian. The peace which other seek they find; The heaviest storms not longet last; Heaven grants even to the guiltiest mind An amnesty for what is past; When will my sentence be reversed?

[server/test] remove dependency on a pyro name server (closes #2801737) Use a direct pyroloc:// url instead of going through a NS.

[packaging] add spec file to build RPMs (closes #2800850)

[predicates] keep making `yes` predicate importable from cubicweb (closes #2790319) The `yes` predicate was moved out in CubicWeb 3.15 but it should have remained importable from the cubicweb.predicates module, for bw compat reasons and also because logilab.common.registry is an implementation detail.

[views/tables|css] backout rev 895e34d9ae0d This changeset introduced a GUI behaviour change that has usability side-effects (eg. shows a non-undoable massive action as a first-class action). The idea is good, but it requires a better implementation; tabs are not the proper GUI solution to the original usability issue.

[webconfig] cleanly handles ``fckeditor_installed`` when no uiprops The previous version of the code relied on a default value with a dummy ``FCKEDITOR_PATH`` entry. The new code check if uiprops is initialized or not.

[webconfig] fallback to default configs if https ones are not defined When cubicweb serves a request with an https scheme, it tries to access ``https_uiprops`` and ``https_datadir_urls``. However if those are not defined we should fallback to unsecure url instead of crashing with a traceback. There are very valid usecases for undefined https url. For example if your ``base_url``, ``datadir_url`` and uiprops content are already https urls. Closes #2786643

[webconfig] explicit some webconfig attribute Explicit declaration of attribute are much clearer. Just do it.

[ext/rest] add directive bookmark to rest (closes #2545595)

[c-c create] make post-create step optional (closes #2712041) In this context the "post-create" step refers to the database's creation and initialization. We want to be able to create a new instance but skip the database creation (`db-create` and `db-init` commands) in automatic setup.

[cwconfig] Add optional configuration param to load a UI cube before other cubes Needed later on to load UI cubes such as legacyui, and one day squareui.

[web/views] Move massmailing to its own cube (closes #2788086)

[req] explicit `user` attribute The `RequestSessionBase` object needs a `user` attribute. It is initialized by sub class, but having it explicitly declared is much cleaner.

[test] use the right order in some assertEqual The unittest2 function use ``(expected, got)`` order.

[session/transaction] move resource accessors on Transaction

[session/transaction] move multiple utility on Transaction

[session/transaction] handle cnxset repository logic in transaction Interacting with the repo is now handled by the Transaction code directly.

[transaction] keep a reference to the repo object

[session] make security_enabled API private The doc already says "internal API". The old entry point is now officially deprecated and the context manager have been made private.

[session] make hook_control API private The doc already says "internal API". The old entry point is now officially deprecated and the context manager have been made private.

[service] split session retrieval and service execution Internal session are not tracker by the repository and can not be retrieved using _getsession. Moreover their session id is not unique… Closes #2735700

[service] handle cnxset in the async case only The service may be called by a session, we really do not want the call to service to mess with the transaction state. This does not apply to async were thread magic ensure a dedicated transaction.

[service] extract session retrieval from "task" closure The session was retrieved there because `set_cnxset` must be called in the same thread as the code using it. We now retrieve the session beforehand and explicitly call `set_cnxset`.

[cubicweb/doc] Add tutorial on data import in CubicWeb. This involves creating the "tutorials/dataimport" directory structure under "cubicweb/doc" and, inside the "dataimport" directory, putting several files: - a ResT file containing the tutorial *per se*; this tutorial addresses the following issues: * creating a CubicWeb schema for representing a given data set (here, the Diseasome RDF data, for illustration purposes); * parsing the data; * importing the data, by using several stores: + the ``RQLObjectStore``, ``NoHookRQLObjectStore`` and ``SQLGenObjectStore`` from the ``dataimport`` module in CubicWeb; + the ``MassiveObjectStore`` from the ``dataimport`` module in the ``dataio`` cube. The tutorial also provides timing benchmarks of the various stores. - a set of Python files illustrating the data import, in the context of Diseasome RDF data parsing: * a Diseasome RDF data parse module, * a Diseasome data import module, * a CubicWeb schema for representing Diseasome data.

[dataimport] Slight message modification in exception handling code.

[dataimport] Handle various data formats when creating buffers from data. :note: On the long run, this should be addressed before, when these data are created.

[dataimport] Add a ``flush`` method for all stores. For ``ObjectStore``, ``RQLObjectStore`` and ``NoHookRQLObjectStore`` the method tries to call the ``commit`` method. For ``SQLGenObjectStore``, the ``flush`` method is basically unchanged with respect to previous changesets.

[dataimport] Uniformize the API across the different stores. This is achieved by modifying the ``relate`` method so that it takes an extra ``**kwargs``. More specifically, ``SQLGenObjectStore``'s ``relate`` method needs the the type of the subject entity which is passed through ``**kwargs`` as the ``subjtype`` keyword argument. Actually, it is the ``add_relation`` method of the ``SQLGenObjectStore`` who needs this argument. However, as this method is not called directly (but via the ``relate`` method), the ``subjtype`` argument is passed to ``add_relation`` via ``relate``. The other stores' ``relate`` methods do not need this extra argument, hence for the other stores ``**kwargs`` is empty. In this manner, the API is unified across the different stores.

[data] Add a CSS for undo UI rendering The nesting of ordered list and unordered list was badly handled. This has gone unoticed becaused it was not used. But the undo feature use this markup to render the changesets. That's why this minor change to ths CSS is introduced.

[web/views] extract cube geocoding (closes #353000)

[c-c list] add an optional argument to the list command (closes #2709703) This optional argument allows to restrict listing to only a given type of items (cubes, instances, configurations).

default base-url now uses fdqn instead of hostname only (closes #2542815)

[doc] update 3.17 release note

[migration] fix bug in `CWAttributeAddOp.revertprecommit_event` The `rdefdef` attribute is set during the operation execution. In some the operation crash before this assignment. In such case `revertprecommit` raise an attribute error crashing the whole process and shadowing the original error. This changeset detect and Avoid this situation.

[session] security context directly use transaction object when applicable Most of the security logic have been moved on Transaction anyway.

[session] move context manager logic in the security context manager The `init_security` and `reset_security` method have no other user that the context manager itself. Having dedicated public function is not useful.

[session] hook control context directly use transaction object when applicable Most of the hooks control logic have been moved on Transaction anyway.

[session] move context manager logic in the hook controls context manager The `init_hooks_mode_categories` and `reset_hooks_mode_categories` have no other user that the context manager itself. Having dedicated public function is not useful.

[session] drop the useless set_hooks_mode method It has not external user and trivial code

[session/transaction] move most undo support into transaction A small part that need repo access has not been moved into transaction yet.

[session] simplify mode property We can delegate very thing to transaction utility

[session/transaction] pass the session object to the Transaction __init__ This simplify access to variables. As we are moving more and more logic and states in the Transaction it will greatly helps in future commit.

[session] use a dedicated class to track cnxset We introduce a new CnxSetTracker to track `cnxset` used by Transaction and allows to wait for them. This new class does not use Thread ID not thread joining to work. This allows to use multiple transaction per thread and a transaction in multiple thread. The class itself is totally threadsafe by the Transaction is still not thread safe. The old _threads_in_transaction attribute is dropped in favor of a new logic based on this object. The registration of cnxset used is not done by the Transaction itself. tx.cnset is a property handling the Consistency of its value with the CnxSetTracker instance. Note: The CnxSetTracker instance only track transaction id, not transaction itself, So not reference cycle are created.

[session] cleanup Transaction.cnxset The attribute should always be there. It is None when not cnxset exists.

[session] drop useless getter and setter for security Those function have very few user and does not anything fancy. Internal user now access tx.read/write_security directly. External user have been blessed with a writable property. They are only interested in the write part of they did not used the return of the removed function. They access it through the session since I prefer the external world to not be aware of Transaction yet.

[session/transaction] move read_security subtlety in transaction This is transaction data, itshould be handled by the transaction itself.

[transaction] initialize dbapi_request in __init__ There is not reason to have it implicitly declared. The attribute is renamed to match its public name.

[transaction] use set operation in the hook control code We use direct operator on set instead of looping by hand, This simplify the codes.

[session/transaction] move hook management in transaction itself This is transaction level code.

[session] allow writable tx_attr and use it for commit_state This keep clarifying the code.

[session/transaction] move add operation in session code

[session/transaction] move entity life utility on transaction This access transaction related data and therefor should live in transaction.

[transaction] small simplification in ecache code A single assignation is simpler.

[session/transaction] move entity cache management on session A new utility method is added for that. It is similar to the one used for attribute access. code is copy pasted as his. Function documentation is added.

[session] have a nice helper function to forward access to session This allows a lighter and clearer code. This will also ease the addition of deprecation warning in the future.

[session] drop dead code session._tx is never None. New transaction are created if necessary.

[session] use tx.data directly in session code.

[transaction] rename transaction_data to data Transaction.transaction_data is redundant. A transaction_data property is left for backward compatibility. Deprecation mechanism will come in later changeset

[session] document Session._tx

[session] split session creation from default session assignation This is the first step for more independence for Transaction.

[session] make session lock reentrant We are going to use it for other session related business. It is renamed from _closed_lock to _lock in the same move.

[session] document set_tx

[session] rename txstore variable to tx This is a more accurate name

[session] rename `_threaddata` to `_tx` The returned object is a Transaction object.

[session] rename self.__threaddata.txdata to self.__threaddata.tx This is Transaction object now.

[session] rename _tx_data into _txs The object inside are now Transaction object. Not TransactionData object.

[transaction] relocate method building transaction context manager It is in the middle of methods going to be refactored.

[transaction] move RQLRewriter in Transaction This remove the last ``AttributeError`` magic. The ``RQLRewriter`` needs a Session. Its reset is handled in ``Session`` code to handle that

[transaction] initialize security control attribute in Transaction There is no reason to not initialize them in __init__ time. This simplify the Session code.

[session] move security constant out of the class There is no reason for it to not be global. This will ease it use by ``Transaction object``.

[transaction] initialize hook control attribute in Transaction There is no reason to not initialize them in __init__ time. this simplify the transaction code.

[session] Move hook control constants out of the class There is no reason for them to not be global. This will ease they use by Transaction object.

[transaction] initialize transaction data and state related attribute. There is not reason to not explicitly declare and initialize attribute in Transaction.__init__. This change requires the introduction of a Transaction.clear() method to get ride of some wicked ``AttributeError`` based logic.

[transaction] handle ``mode`` default value in Transaction The transaction mode is now explicitly passed at creation time and always read from the Transaction object. Note that there is a slight behavior change. The transaction mode is now set at the creation of the transaction. Changes made to the default value have no longer any effect on existing transaction.

[transaction] explicit Transaction cnxset attribute The Transaction object have a lot more attribute that those previously declared in __init__. They are just dynamically assigned in Session code. This changeset explicit the ``cnxset`` and ``mode`` attribute declaration.

[server] rename TransactionData to Transaction Transaction will become a full featured object.

[doc] update Session documentation A major refactoring of Session/Transaction handling is commit. This is a good occasion to improves the documention.

merge 3.16 fix in default

[views/primary] some inner sections should use the `limit` by default to avoid a denial of service (closes #2719110) Today, it is possible to call .related and get a huge unlimited database-dos-inducing resultset that will be nevertheless limited a bit further in pure python in the `autolimited` view. While we cannot completely avoid potential denial of services such as these we mitigate the problem with the default ui settings: if the inner vid is `autolimited`, then the relation result sets is computed using the user-defined limit. This change respects the semantics of the `autolimited` view and shouldn't break anything.

[entity] ensure the .related(entities=False) parameter is honored all the way down (closes #2755994) As of today, such a call will always fill the relation cache by calling .entities() on every single related rset entry. As a consequence, the `limit` parameter handling also had to be fixed. It was bogus in the following ways: * not used in the related_rql, hence potentially huge database requests, but also actually * foolishly used in the .entities()-calling cache routine we now bypass (this changeset ticket's main topic) Now: * we set a limit on the rql expression, and * forbid caching if given a non-None limit (as we don't want to make the cache handling code more complicated than it is already) With this, entity.unrelated gets a better limit implementation (so the code in related/unrelated is nice and symmetric) Risk: * _cw_relation_cache disappears completely, which is good, but this is Python, so you never know ...

[test/web] fix invisibly bogus test (prepares #2755994) The test was wrong but that was cancelled out by a cache effect and fuzzy naming. Wiping the entity caches restores sanity: the choices list are the same before and after the SET. Also field.choices uses entity.unrelated but always returns related + unrelated elements. Hence `choice` replaces `unrelated` where it makes sense. AssertIn is used in place of AssertTrue.

[cwconfig] Fix exception handling when building the cube dependency graph UnorderableGraph exceptions do not have a 'cycles' property. A simple cast to str does the job.

[merge] backport stable fixes

[test/sobject] fix test regression Was complaining: - * updated comment #EID (#EID) ? ^^^^ + * updated comment #EID (duh?) ? ^^^^ in sobjects/test/unittest_supervising.

[web/request] Prune extraneous 'pageid' from generated ajax URL parameters (closes #2758130) If 'pageid' is given through extraparams, it is sent twice to the browser. On the JS side, the final URL loadxhtml() will end up using will have 'pageid' set twice which CubicWeb will readily accept as a list. Pruning this parameter makes sure it is exactly once.

[web/component] Use global variable to point to ajax controller (part of #2758254)

[web] Use the new '/ajax' URL path to access the AjaxController (closes #2758254) 5a81fa526b30 took care of all the JS code, this patch cleans up the remaining python bits.

[cwvreg] complete cw.web.uicfg cleanup callback (closes #2718217) 1dd655788ece introduced insufficient backward compat support When cubes directly import uicfg from cubicweb.web (or uihelper) this also creates a reference in the parent cubicweb.web namespace. This must be cleaned up as reloaded cubes will take back this reference and the old versions of its appobjects.

[rql sources] uses an URL as remote host address for pyro/zmq rql sources, instead of extra configuration parameters. Follows modification of dbapi.connect api. Closes #2539822

[repo sources] move handling of source's url into abstract source as this becomes shared by most sources prepare #2539822

[db-api] rename repo_connect into _repo_connect to mark it private. Closes #2521848

[repository sources] copy source configuration: source's __init__ modify it while config.sources() return a cached dictionary which shouldn't be modified This causes pb since f8aa87a773b2 (though it's unclear why it hasn't been a problem before). Closes #2521848

cleanup repository connect doc: cnxtype is now deprecated / base_url has never been given that way. Follow #2521848

prefix "tcp://" zmq uris with "zmqpickle" (closes #2574114) * it turns "tcp://" into "zmqpickle-tcp://" * will leave room for future non-pickling communications using zmq

[db-api/configuration] simplify db-api and configuration so that all the connection information is in the repository url, closes #2521848 eg no more specific option of pyro ns host, group, etc. This also fixes broken ZMQ sources. Changes: * dropped pyro-ns-host, pyro-instance-id, pyro-ns-group from client side config, in favor of repository-uri. No migration done, supposing there is **no web-only config** in the wild. Also stop discovering the connection method through the repo_method class attribute of the configuration, varying according to the configuration class. This is a first step on the way to a simpler configuration handling. Notice those pyro options are still available for repository only / all-in-one configurations as they are needed to configure the pyro server. * stop telling connection method using ConnectionProperties, this is so boring. Also, drop _cnxtype from Connection and cnxtype from Session. The former is replaced by a is_repo_in_memory property and the later is totaly useless. * deprecate in_memory_cnx which becomes useless, use _repo_connect instead

[ldap test] ensure slapdd launch went fine and move ldapfeed setUp to parent class, as all ldap sources deal with url

[web/uihelper,uicfg] transform uihelper functions into uicfg objects methods (closes #2543949)

make ui configurations selectable (closes #2406609) * introduce a new 'uicfg' registry (storing instances) * use the relevant new APIs from lgc.registry to manage the new registrable uicfg objects * cw event manager useage is gone; instead thze standard registry reloading mechanism is used * ensure i18n commands still work (devctl) * introduce dynamic uicfgs use whenever possible (various views), even though sometimes the classic 'static' usage remains

[uicfg] uicfg.py moves from web/ to web/views/ (prepares #2406609) We are about to make uicfg selectable. Registrable / selectable views and helpers live in web/views. Hence the move. Backward compat is put in place. However CubicWeb imports of uicfg are updated to the new location.

[appobject] introduce RegistrableObject base class (prepares #2406609)

[cwvreg] introduce lgc version 0.59 and remove unneeded method redefinition (prepares #2406609) The new logilab.common.registry makes this moot.

[BFSS] mark fs_imported value as uncachable This will finally fix the `test_bfss_fs_importing_transparency` pass again. Regression was introduced by 4ba11607d84a

[entity] add a "repo_side" parameter to `_cw_dont_cache_attribute` This parameter (defaulting to `False`) is used to inform cubicweb that we really really do not want to cache a value during creation or update. This will be used by a storage that may do very specific processing on attribute values that result in a stored value different than the provided one (e.g. BFSS `fs_importing` mode).

[merge] backport stable fixes

[entities] fix test failures introduced by fixes in workflow related message strings (completes 9bb93efa1952)

[doc/book/] Corrected typo in en/tutorials/base/customizing-the-application.rst, for the add_cubes function call

[entity,views/json] backout 353bbd17a8b6 (reopens #2559931) Calling .complete() unconditionnally from the json encoder is unsafe since on entity creation validation: * an eid may have been drawn (hence even .has_eid() would not help) while processing form data in the edit controller * a ValidationError may have been raised and the entity-creating transaction rollbacked This leads to a crash on the return path from the validation to the browser, where the json_dumps((status, args, entity)) call will stumble upon the .complete() call which will fail because the entity does not (any more) exist in the database.

[schemas] fix typo

merge with stable

[appobject] cleanup module (prepares #2406609) * remove unused imports * break long lines

[uicfg] remove pre 3.6 bw compat structure (prepares #2406609) This should have been done in a673d1d9a738.

[testlib] test_view now parse json data, closes #2557467

Improve entity json export (closes #2559931) Make output from __json_encode__ predictable; use it in the ejsonexport view.

[web/application/test] drop useless code This is already done in CubicWebTC

[test] precheck initial condition

[packaging] Fix search in squeeze cubicweb-documentation package (closes #2558496) Work around broken combination of jquery 1.4 and sphinx 0.6 in squeeze by patching up doctools.js.

[packaging] don't compress txt files (closes #2558496)
