Looking at the docs, I think what changed is that `throttled_responder` gets the request as an argument instead of the `env`? And has the same return type for the lambda as before?
So uhhh I don't remember how to test this, but uhh it's not crashing when the server starts anymore, and I feel like the most likely problem here would be that you get a 500 instead of a useful response in the rate limit case, so like. ehh I'll just leave it be!
I did some refactoring while here too, of pulling the deploy scripts out of `package.json` and into `bin`, to be a bit more canonically Rails-y. (idk how canonical the colon thing is but, probably fine??)
I don't know enough about our caching situation to know where memcache performs meaningfully better than Rails's in-memory cache. Let's delete it for now and see if there's a problem, to simplify the deploy environment!
Yay it's working! We set up the box, install Ruby, upload a placeholder app, set it up as a service, and get it hooked up to nginx!
Next, we'll add the script to upload the latest version of the site. We just need to slot it into `/srv/impress/current`, run `bundle install`, and that should basically be that! (Oh, and we need to compile production assets—I wonder if it's useful to do that on the dev machine instead of on the target? That might save us from needing to install Node. Or maybe we'll have to anyway!)
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.
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!
This will enable us to access the auth records, which we store in a separate database for weird legacy reasons!
We don't do anything else yet, just set up the connection to be available.
(NOTE: This commit was a bit of a history rewrite: we started working on this with `database.yml` still gitignored, but then in 8fb6e82 we added it back in to be able to fix a bug in 44c42f9. So previously this branch added back `database.yml` to git *and* added `openneo_id` to it, but since then I've rebased against the other changes, and rewrote history to make this a change to *just* add the database! I also moved it in the timeline, to be before some of the other things that depend on it.)
Without this, searches for negative of `fits` or `species` would crash, bc somewhere Rails set the default SQL mode to be stricter than before. This just sets it back!
We gitignored it a long time ago as the way to hide our db secrets, but that's not how we manage them anymore! (Or, well, we haven't done production deployment with this new setup yet, but you get the point.)
This helps clarify what the database config oughta look like!
Whew! Seems like a pretty clean one? Ran `rails app:upgrade` and stuff, and made some corrections to keyword arguments for `translate` calls. There might be more such problems elsewhere? But that's hard to search for, and we'll have to see.
This one was pretty straightforward yaay! Main thing was the change from `render file` to `render template` in a couple places, oh and a thing with complex `order()` clauses.
The session format changed, so we change the session cookie name rather than have things crash about it! (I hope the actual prod behavior is to ignore bad cookies rather than crash? But I figure this is more reliable anyway.)
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!
Idk I guess these are the default place to put certain settings, but idk if they're still canonical, and I'd rather just not have files that don't mean anything rn!
Idk exactly what's going on with dotenv-deployment, if it turns out it was critical to our deploy process then we'll change the deploy process! It's deprecated and conflicts with gem deps for `dotenv-rails`.
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!
Yay, we've deleted all our background tasks!
We'll probably want to replace some of the basic functionality like certain caching? But we can deal with that as we run into it.
The direct motivation here was a seeming version conflict between Rails 4.2's rack dependency and latest Resque's rack dependency... but this is just nice complexity elimination regardless, we want this anyway :3
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.
During this upgrade process, `rails server` hasn't been updating its logic when files changed, so every change had to be accompanied by a restart.
This turned out to be because Vagrant's networked filesystem to share between the host and guest systems doesn't support the filesystem update events Rails is listening for. So, we switch to a simpler file watcher that does more work but doesn't depend on the filesystem events!
It's unused, and I'm just double-checking that it's not somehow causing the issues with the rails dev server not reloading classes. (The `threadsafe!` option would do that, but I don't thiiiink this is the env we're running? But I'm wondering if the loader is getting confused by the prefixiness of the name or something. Unlikely!)
This is recommended by the Rails 4.0 upgrade guide:
> The caching method changed between Rails 3.x and 4.0. You should change the cache namespace and roll out with a cold cache.
I noticed too that old cache entries with old character encodings were a real problem, so yeah making sure we're working with a cold cache is smart!!
We'll need to replace the item search query stuff with direct MySQL queries, but that's not ready yet bc the app still isn't booting, so we're committing this in a known broken state for now!
I haven't logged into newrelic in a billion years, let's just stop sending them stuff
(This is a precursor to an attempt to delete flex stuff too and replace our elasticsearch stuff with direct mysql queries like Impress 2020 does, but that'll be more work!)
I guess the APIs changed here, but these were placeholder settings we weren't actually using anyway (cuz we use the OpenNeo ID integration), so I just commented them out and it seems fine for now!
NOTE: This doesn't boot yet! There's something changed in the `devise` API that we'll need to fix!
```
/vagrant/config/initializers/devise.rb:46:in `block in <top (required)>': undefined method `encryptor=' for Devise:Module (NoMethodError)
```
But yeah, we navigated the gem upgrades, and also I ran `rake rails:update` and hand-processed the suggestions it had for our config files.
Rather than figure out how to upgrade the Stripe gem to be compatible with future Rails, I'd rather just delete the references, since it's currently unused.
I'm not so bold as to go in and fully trash all our donation code; I just want to ensure we're not sending people down broken codepaths, and that if they reach them, the error messages are clear enough.
