I think we used this for both conversion to image, and also for CORS stuff when rendering Flash-based previews… let's trash it, I don't want to be growing our hard drive with files I don't think we use anymore!
If I'm wrong and it turns out we do use them for something, then like. hey I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, and it's very recoverable operation.
Just find_all_by's that I never cleaned up
Oddly enough, I still got a "neopets seems down" message out of this, idk if that's an actual bug or just sluggishness rn
Okay, right, if we're just using www.neopets.com (like we are for now), it fails on http://www.neopets.com because it triggers a redirect that we don't follow.
So here I 1) change the default to HTTPS, and 2) add HTTPS support to our little RocketAMF lib
Nice, just turning it on seemed to do all we need for now!
Fair questions to be asked about like, should you be able to look up by username instead of email? But like idk, this feels simpler *and* more solid, to give you feedback on if it's the right email.
Hey nice!!
Note that I removed an account delete button from the settings page. You can still send a DELETE request to the right endpoint to do it, but it's not gonna delete all the associated records, and I wanna think a bit about how to handle that better before exposing that button.
I noticed this was stopping changing your default list visibility bc contact neopets connection can't be empty, so I fixed that!
And then I just decided to scroll through every `belongs_to` relationship and add optional to the ones that jumped out at me lol
A lot of rough edges here (e.g. no styles on the flash messages), but it's working and that's good!!
I tested this by temporarily switching to the production database and logging in as matchu!
Still missing a lot of big features too, like registration, password resets, settings page, etc.
This removes login/logout/session logic for integrating with OpenNeo ID, replacing them with stubs that just redirect to `/?TODO` when you click login, and helpers that act as if you're not logged in.
This gives us a clean slate to plug in new Devise logic to integrate with the `openneo_id` database directly!
No user-facing functionality here yet, just configuring the database connection to work with openneo_id records.
This is a first step in integrating Devise stuff into this app instead of connecting with a weird second app.
My basic testing for this was to temporarily connect to production `openneo_id`, and see `AuthUser.first` correctly return a user!
I had added this many Rails versions ago during the recent upgrade process, because it was in latest Rails but not in the version of Rails I was using when replacing Elasticsearch with MySQL queries. We can remove it now!
lmao I keep forgetting things! note that the negative case of this filter, like the negative case of `fits`, is currently broken because Rails changed the default SQL mode and I didn't notice! We'll need to add a `database.yml` file and set `sql_mode: TRADITIONAL`.
I ran `rails zeitwerk:check`, which eager-loads the app, and it found two problems: `closet_group.rb` doesn't define `ClosetGroup` (cuz it's empty), and I left in a reference to a cache sweeper observer oops. Goodbye!
Rails 5 added new validation on `belongs_to` to ensure the corresponding record exists. In the case of moving to the null list, this shouldn't trigger!
I wish we could flag that specifically `nil` is okay, but other values should be validated? But oh well, this is fine!
Ok so weird little situation, usually Arel will accept an attribute as a param to `order()`, but not when it's in a very specific situation of all of the following:
`Item.joins(:translations).includes(:translations).limit(30).order(Item::Translation.arel_table[:name])`
For some reason, it's all like "hey I can't call `to_sql` on an attribute!", but only in the scenario where all 3 of those other things are present. Weird!
Anyway, explicitly saying `.asc` fixes this. Ok!
Some important little upgrades but mostly straightforward!
Note that there's still a known issue where item searches crash, I was hoping that this was a bug in Rails 4.2 that would be fixed on upgading to 5, but nope, oh well!
Also uhh I just got a bit silly and didn't actually mean to go all the way to 5.2 in one go, I had meant to start at 5.0… but tbh the 5.1 and 5.2 changes seem small, and this seems to be working, so. Yeah ok let's roll!
Some tricks required here to get the dependencies to work out, but we got it!!
Oh also, we move away from the rbenv in Ubuntu's package manager, because it doesn't support more recent Rubies like 2.4.10.
This labeling technique hasn't worked in a long time bc it requires being logged in. These days we just manually label them with the 2020 support tools I think!
Clearing out the Neopets gem should help us manage some gem dep conflicts in the 4.2 upgrade too (I think the nokogiri one gets tricky?)
At one point we piloted a "Camo" service to proxy HTTPS image urls for us, but it doesn't exist anymore.
We already have proxies and stuff for this, so I left `Image` as a placeholder for this, but it's not working yet!
This also deletes our final reference to the Addressable gem, so we can remove it!
I don't think these work anymore, and our volunteers get new items into the db fast anyway, Impress 2020 is doing better spidering these days. And then we get to remove the cron job `whenever` gem!
Using `s3_path` and stuff made it sound like we were still referencing the original Amazon S3 images - but actually our new asset proxy just uses the same path structure, and we didn't change anything about it.
Oh also I deleted an after_conversion method that isn't used anymore, forgot about that!
We've already swapped out the backend for this stuff to Impress 2020, so the resque task and the broken image report UI aren't actually relevant anymore. Delete them!
This helps us delete Resque soon too.
Idk this one might actually be a bit of a pain to load? But I'd want to optimize it differently anyway, and there's overhauls we're already planning to do here.
Huh! This cache key seemed to only be referenced in checks and expirations, but was never actually used! So I guess we've been loading the modeling predictions every time for a while huh??
We'll get smarter about that someday, but anyway, that lets us delete our Item resque tasks and ItemObserver!
Again I'm just not convinced of the perf on this, and it enables us to delete some whole infra over it, we can improve it another time if it's useful to!
Just removing some caching and the expiration of it! There's still more superfluous(?) caching on the item page to audit, but these seem a bit more sensible about avoiding loading extra data.
In the interest of clearing out Resque, I'm just gonna remove a lot of our more complex caching stuff, and we can do a perf pass for things like big item list pages once everything's upgraded. (I'm hopeful that the upgrades themselves improve perf; and if not, that some improved sensibilities 10 years later can find simpler approaches.)
We uninstalled Flex, our Elasticsearch gem, to replace item search with direct DB queries; but I forgot these calls, oops!
I also kinda want to see about deleting the resque tasks altogether, since I'm not sure how to get Resque installed on latest rails bc there seems to be a conflict over the version of Rack? And it'd be nice to get rid of the complexity if we can.
Back in the day, `all` would immediately load up a query into an array, but now I think it's an alias for what `scoped` used to be: a relation that contains everything.
