Backout "[entity,storage] remove hackish code from the bfss path The merge of the repo-side and web-side entity caches doesn't actually work, because entities have a _cw attribute which is sometimes a connection and sometimes a web request, and whose nature changes not-really-predictably whenever ResultSet.get_entity() is called and brings it out of the cache. This reverts commit 59a79300f213.

merge with 3.21.3 The change in unittest_serverctl.py is needed because of daef7ce08fea (from 3.20.11) and 3914388b2d0f (from the 3.22 branch). Due to both changes, CubicWebTC.config.repository no longer creates a new repository (and thus, a new connection). Since both DBDumpCommand and CubicWebTC.tearDown try to shutdown the repo, tearDown breaks apart. The solution is to temporarily disable ServerConfiguration's config cache. By forcing DBDumpCommand to get a new configuration object, it then gets its own Repo object, allowing tearDown and DBDumpCommand to work independently.

[test] Use datapath() in massive store tests

[devtools] Disable anonymous login right before executing tests CubicWebTC.init_config is called many times, especially when creating the default database. This database is then reused by all tests in the same directory. The issue is that, if a test has 'anonymous_allowed' set to False, the anonymous user won't be created by postcreate.py in the default database. All other tests will fail miserably if they expected anonymous login to work. By actually disabling anonymous login after _init_repo, the default database (and configuration) will be initialized with a working anonymous user. Closes #7485127.

[hooks] build EnsureSymmetricRelations{Add,Delete} dynamically Instead of setting the __select__ attribute at registration time, which confuses the filterable_selectors cache when running different tests (with different schemas) in the same process, just make entirely new classes. Closes #8785708.

[qunit] stop dealing with filesystem paths qunit tests need a few things served by cubicweb: - qunit itself, which is now handled by CWDevtoolsStaticController (serving files in cubicweb/devtools/data) - standard cubicweb or cubes data files, handled by the DataController - the tests themselves and their dependencies. These can live in <apphome>/data or <apphome>/static and be served by one of the STATIC_CONTROLLERS This avoids having to guess in CWSoftwareRootStaticController where to serve things from (some files may be installed, others are in the source tree), and should hopefully make it possible to have these tests pass when using tox, and to write qunit tests for cubes, outside of cubicweb itself. This requires modifying the tests to only declare URL paths instead of filesystem paths, and moving support files below test/data/static.

[devtools] fix QUnitResultController It needs to return something.

[utils] Drop now-unused SizeConstrainedList It's last usage in CubicWeb got removed from changeset '[views] remove breadcrumbs usage to retrieve last visited page' Related to #5456850.

[views] remove breadcrumbs usage to retrieve last visited page Use JavaScript history.back to go to the last visited page. Rename _return_to_lastpage to _redirect as it becomes misnamed.

[web] Stop using config.repository() Since commit 3914388b2d0f, this method creates a new Repository object and thus reloads all the cubes, taking for ever. Closes #8634417.

[web] Stop using webconfig.vc_config() The main issue is that this creates an entirely new Repository object (since commit 3914388b2d0f) and thus reloads all the cubes, taking for ever. Related to #8634417.

[migration] don't handle data deletion anymore on schema changes In most cases when we want to drop some entity/relation type, we don't care whether hooks are called on their deletion. There is even low chances that some hooks still exists, based on an old version of the schema. Last but not least, this is horribly inefficient. So this should be clearly documented and handled by application's programmer if desired. This patch removes unnecessary deletion (because table or column will be later dropped) and reimplements the case of partial deletion (only one relation definition among several, hence the database structure isn't modified) using sql. Only one test regarding deletion of inlined relation def is added as other cases seem to be covered by existing tests. Closes #7023315

[hooks/syncschema] drop unused import

[hooks/syncschema] indentation fix

[server/test] cosmetic whitespace fix

[hooks/syncschema] don't set NOT NULL on inlined relation columns The NOT NULL constraint was being added on inlined relation cardinality change while it shouldn't. We don't want this, because this forbids to add an entity without the relation set at once (it may be added later in the transaction). This patch fix synchronization hook to stop doing this. Closes #6211101

[hooks/syncschema] Turn DropColumnOp into a data operation While writing a test for a migration issue where "NOT NULL" was added to an inlined relation column, I ran into a case where the same column was deleted twice, which of course results in an error. This is because the "ecrit_par" relation used by the test is ambiguous. I've hence turned the DropColumnOp into a data operation to ensure we'll delete the column only once in such case. Related to #6211101

[server/sources] fix name error in eid_type_source_pre_131 i.e. the eid_type_source implementation used when some pre 3.13.1 database is detected. Regression from 5fbdbbe51867.

[repository] deprecate the extid2eid based multi-sources API This API is cumbersome and lead to obfuscated code because of the callback mecanism implied when some entity has to be created. Since we dropped the "true" multi-source, this mecanism is not needed anymore and one should prefer to use the dataimport API inside its parser instead. Notice the cwxml parser will trigger the deprecation warning, it should not be used anymore in favor of ad-hoc parsers.

[ldapfeed] use source's extid2eid, the repo's one will be deprecated in a near future.

[ldapfeed / dataimport] port ldapfeed parser to dataimport API This makes the code easier to understand and will allow to deprecate the old multi-sources api, based on creation callback through repo.extid2eid. Currently with this patch, modification dates are not checked, hence entities will be systematically updated. We run the import with no hooks, because RQLObjectStore can only add entities to the system source.

[server/test] document expected packages to run ldap tests

[ldapfeed] simplify ldap2attrs * tdict argument is never given * separate value retrieval from setting output (will ease a latter cset)

[test/tox] Enforce installation of modified yapps 580a6821713d is not enough for tox apparently... The thing is that it will first install dependencies (the `deps` option from tox.ini), actually pulling yapps from Logilab github but then, it will install the project (that is, CubicWeb) from the sdist *along with its dependencies*, which will pull yapps again and override the previously installed version for some mysterious reason. So add a `pip install` command in tox.ini, so that the modified yapps is the last one installed.

[web] delete unused PropertySheet._sourcefile_mtime

[etwist] remove no-longer-necessary uicache cleaning It was done before we were actually up, which means it could be too eager when combined with #6893185. Closes #6893247.

[web] remove PropertySheet._cache Instead of remembering that a css file has been processed, we re-process it at every request. This prevents our cache getting out of date with the file system. Closes #6893185 While we're at it, write the file atomically so that we don't risk serving partial data.

[test] Add missing u'' Test actually works in py3k, but not in python 2... That has to be a first!

[data] Use correct syntax to unset CSS attributes (closes #8602446) 'default' is actually a recognized CSS cursor name (the regular pointer). Using this value doesn't revert to whatever cursor DOM elements have by default ('pointer' on links, 'text' on text, etc). The proper way to unset a CSS attribute on DOM elements is to set it to an empty string. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2027935/how-to-remove-css-property-using-javascript

[dataimport] remove pg_schema parameter from massive store It can be recovered from the system source's configuration.

[dataimport] remove drop_index parameter from massive store "drop_index=False" also implied not dropping any constraints, in particular foreign keys, which meant any attempt to import entities would fail, because we only add metadata (the entities table) after the entity's insertion.

[dataimport/test] update call to ucsvreader Silences warning: [3.20] 'separator' kwarg is deprecated, use 'delimiter' instead

[web] set proper Cache-Control header for static files - set Cache-Control max-age to match Expires - use the max_age method (defaults to 1 week) instead of hardcoded 6 months

[web] use a redirect for /data/foo requests that don't use the instance md5 hash The actual file contents can be cached for a long time. If the request doesn't use the hash, that's wrong. Using a redirect lets keep the caching for the actual file contents while not breaking requests missing the hash.

[web] fix typo in doc string

[web] stop adding an Expires header with all responses As per RFC 1945 (HTTP 1.0): If the date given is equal to or earlier than the value of the Date header, the recipient must not cache the enclosed entity. As per RFC 7234 (HTTP 1.1 Caching): If a response includes a Cache-Control field with the max-age directive (Section 5.2.2.8), a recipient MUST ignore the Expires field. Bottom line, the Expires header is now handled wherever the Cache-Control is handled: inside cache managers.

[web] stop looking at a request's Cache-Control header As per RFC 7234 (HTTP 1.1 Caching): The "Cache-Control" header field is used to specify directives for caches along the request/response chain. CubicWeb is not a cache.

[fti] add cw_fti_index_rql_limit method Improves on and deprecate cw_fti_index_rql_queries: execute the rql directly, so that we don't need to compute the set of eids up-front, but can just keep track of the last seen entity. Use the new method in reindex_entities. Keep calling cw_fti_index_rql_queries if it has been redefined (e.g in cubes). Related to #3621392.

[fti] backout 166c6f7b1be4 * breaks tests * see next commit for a better solution

[tox] Reference requirements.txt for hooks environment The file existed but was not referenced.

[devtools/testlib] Remove assertions about direct usage of CubicWebTC/AutomaticWebTest The point is to be able to use a test runner other than pytest (e.g. nose2, nosetests or py.test) to run CubicWeb test suite. The issue is that most other test loaders inspects members of all base classes of test case classes to determine test methods and it hits this `config` property (actually executing it), which breaks the assertion. So just return None instead of failing. Closes #7817147.

Add ldap3 to server test requirements

[pkg] bump version number so tox won't use cw from pypi

[schema] add CubicWebRelationDefinitionSchema Stop monkeypatching yams, inherit from RelationDefinitionSchema instead.

[schema] Let RQLConstraint inherit from BaseRQLConstraint instead of RQLVocabularyConstraint There is apparently no reason for RQLConstraint to inherit from RQLVocabularyConstraint as it gets its `repo_check` method from `RepoEnforcedRQLConstraintMixIn` and RQLVocabularyConstraint (which inherits from BaseRQLConstraint) actually only overrides that method. So simplify inheritance by removing a useless level of indirection. Adjust cw_unrelated_rql accordingly, where it was that RQLConstraint inherited from RQLVocabularyConstraint.

[migration] re-try without print_function when compiling a script fails As part of the python3 porting we added the __future__.print_function import to cubicweb.migration. That started affecting all migration scripts it runs, which may not be prepared. So if compiling a script results in SyntaxError, try again without the print_function flag. Closes #7935030

[test] do not overwrite user's CW_CUBES_PATH in unittest_migration Currently when you rely on your CW_CUBES_PATH environment variable to locate cubes necessary for cubicweb's tests, the migration test crashes because it overrides the env var.

[server/test] dict.itervalues() → iter(dict.values())

make sync_schema_props_perms(<computed rtype>) work as expected It currently ends up with an ExecutionError while we want to synchronize permissions.
