This follows a correction made in twisted/twisted#1664 and should fix our Twisted Trial CI job.
Until that change is in a twisted release, we'll have to ignore the type
of the `host` argument. I've raised #10899 to remind us to review the
issue in a few months' time.
Fix event context for outlier causing failures in all of the MSC2716
Complement tests.
The `EventContext.for_outlier` refactor happened in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10883
and this spot was left out.
* Pull out GetUserDirectoryTables helper
* Don't rebuild the dir in tests that don't need it
In #10796 I changed registering a user to add directory entries under.
This means we don't have to force a directory regbuild in to tests of
the user directory search.
* Move test_initial to tests/storage
* Add type hints to both test_user_directory files

Broadly, the existing `event_auth.check` function has two parts:
* a validation section: checks that the event isn't too big, that it has the rught signatures, etc.
This bit is independent of the rest of the state in the room, and so need only be done once
for each event.
* an auth section: ensures that the event is allowed, given the rest of the state in the room.
This gets done multiple times, against various sets of room state, because it forms part of
the state res algorithm.
Currently, this is implemented with `do_sig_check` and `do_size_check` parameters, but I think
that makes everything hard to follow. Instead, we split the function in two and call each part
separately where it is needed.
Before Synapse 1.31 (#9411), we relied on `outlier` being stored in the
`internal_metadata` column. We can now assume nobody will roll back their
deployment that far and drop the legacy support.
* Inline `_check_event_auth` for outliers
When we are persisting an outlier, most of `_check_event_auth` is redundant:
* `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` does nothing, because the
`input_auth_events` are (now) exactly the event's auth_events,
which means that `missing_auth` is empty.
* we don't care about soft-fail, kicking guest users or `send_on_behalf_of`
for outliers
... so the only thing that matters is the auth itself, so let's just do that.
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`: de-async `prep`
`prep` no longer calls any `async` methods, so let's make it synchronous.
* Simplify `_check_event_auth`
We no longer need to support outliers here, which makes things rather simpler.
* changelog
* lint
Currently we use `JsonEncoder.iterencode` to write JSON responses, which ensures that we don't block the main reactor thread when encoding huge objects. The downside to this is that `iterencode` falls back to using a pure Python encoder that is *much* less efficient and can easily burn a lot of CPU for huge responses. To fix this, while still ensuring we don't block the reactor loop, we encode the JSON on a threadpool using the standard `JsonEncoder.encode` functions, which is backed by a C library.
Doing so, however, requires `respond_with_json` to have access to the reactor, which it previously didn't. There are two ways of doing this:
1. threading through the reactor object, which is a bit fiddly as e.g. `DirectServeJsonResource` doesn't currently take a reactor, but is exposed to modules and so is a PITA to change; or
2. expose the reactor in `SynapseRequest`, which requires updating a bunch of servlet types.
I went with the latter as that is just a mechanical change, and I think makes sense as a request already has a reactor associated with it (via its http channel).
This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
- Use sytest:bionic. Sytest:latest is two years old (do we want
CI to push out latest at all?) and comes with Python 3.5, which we
explictly no longer support. The script now runs under PostgreSQL 10
as a result.
- Advertise script in the docs
- Move pg testing script to scripts-dev directory
- Write to host as the script's exector, not root
A few changes to make it speedier to re-run the tests:
- Create blank DB in the container, not the script, so we don't have to
`initdb` each time
- Use a named volume to persist the tox environment, so we don't have to
fetch and install a bunch of packages from PyPI each time

* Factor more stuff out of `_get_events_and_persist`
It turns out that the event-sorting algorithm in `_get_events_and_persist` is
also useful in other circumstances. Here we move the current
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`,
and then factor the sorting part out to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove redundant `outlier` assignment
`get_event_auth` returns events with the outlier flag already set, so this is
redundant (though we need to update a test where `get_event_auth` is mocked).
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: move existing-event tests earlier
Move a couple of tests outside the loop. This is a bit inefficient for now, but
a future commit will make it better. It should be functionally identical.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`
We can use the same codepath for persisting the events fetched as part of an
auth chain as for those fetched individually by `_get_events_and_persist` for
building the state at a backwards extremity.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use a dict for efficiency
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` sorts the events itself, so we no longer
need to care about maintaining the ordering from `get_event_auth` (and no
longer need to sort by depth in `get_event_auth`).
That means that we can use a map, making it easier to filter out events we
already have, etc.
* changelog
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`: improve docstring
Combine the two loops over the list of events, and hence get rid of
`_NewEventInfo`. Also pass the event back alongside the context, so that it's
easier to process the result.
If the MAU count had been reached, Synapse incorrectly blocked appservice users even though they've been explicitly configured not to be tracked (the default). This was due to bypassing the relevant if as it was chained behind another earlier hit if as an elif.

* Improve typing in user_directory files
This makes the user_directory.py in storage pass most of mypy's
checks (including `no-untyped-defs`). Unfortunately that file is in the
tangled web of Store class inheritance so doesn't pass mypy at the moment.
The handlers directory has already been mypyed.

This change adds a check for row existence before accessing row element, this should fix issue #10669

* Reload auth events from db after fetching and persisting
In `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth`, when we fetch the remote auth
tree and persist the returned events: load the missing events from the database
rather than using the copies we got from the remote server.
This is mostly in preparation for additional refactors, but does have an
advantage in that if we later get around to checking the rejected status, we'll
be able to make use of it.
* Factor out `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event` from `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth`
* changelog
