I missed two things:
1) `rake` wasn't available in the path (surprising but ok!), so I replaced it with the more modern and more portable `bin/rails` invocation.
2) Without specifying a `host`, Rails was trying to connect with the database over a socket instead of over a port. Here, we tell it where to actually connect!
I think I'll need to make some tweaks here, since this isn't compatible with my _own_ local setup—maybe I'll revert `database.yml`, and have the dev container use the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable to override it?
But whatever, this is working for now, and that's exciting to me!
Note: On my machine, the install step hangs for a loooong time, to the point where I usually give up. On Codespaces, it also took a while at the same step (`Installing devise-encrpytable`), but eventually got through it. Maybe on my machine it would work if I'm more patient? Idk! But it's good to see it working on something!!
I cleared the references to the Neopia server (old thing responsible
for pet loading without blocking the Rails app) out of here a while ago,
but didn't clear out this config value!
Oh right, we intentionally fail if there's no SECRET_TOKEN provided, but
that's not really useful for development!
Here, we add a SECRET_TOKEN only used in development - which doesn't
need to be secret, because it doesn't guard actual user sessions!
In production, the behavior is unchanged.
The usual stuff! Installed the new gem and its new deps, ran
`bin/rails app:update` and did my best to manually merge the dev/prod
config files with the new canonical defaults, deleted some migrations I
don't think are relevant to us, and yeah!
Also, Rails 7.1 seems to need `libyaml-dev` installed, so I added that
to the `deploy/setup.yml` playbook!
One thing to note is that, while I was here, I turned on some settings
relating to our use of SSL that technically weren't on before. This
should be fine and helpful? But if stuff breaks, well, check those!
Idk why, but unlike my previous experience with Rails devcontainers, this time the setup process is running so wildly slowly?
Might just be a transient issue on my machine, maybe something that would be improved with a restart and trying again another time? Or could be something about the MySQL image that doesn't run great in this context?
In any case, I'm just gonna set this down for now!
Now, like in DTI 2020, opening an outfit will go straight to the editor.
I'm not 100% on whether this is actually like. the superior behavior?
But I think it's good enough, and it's what the wardrobe-2020 code
expects, so let's just roll with it for now!
This was used by the Neopia server to send us the modeling data it requested out-of-band. But now we do all our modeling requests back in-app again, so we don't need this!
I hope this doesn't cause problems! But yeah, with Puma doing threading, and maybe switching to Falcon someday to get even better concurrency properties, I feel like this will probably be fine?
And it makes the UX a loootttt better, to be back in the world where all these forms just work, whew.
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.
