We're going to upgrade our ruby version, and we need these tasks.
Note we now get a warning caused by `rvm1:install:ruby` invoking
`deploy:updating`. It doesn't seem to be an issue because we don't add
any hooks to `deploy:updating`, and neither do the rest of the gems we
use.
Old CONSUL nginx configurations will probably have a reference to a
unicorn socket. Making that file a symbolic link to a puma socket makes
it possible for the application to keep working without updating the
nginx configuration file.
Puma was adding commands to `rvm_map_bins`, which meant RMV1 wasn't
using the default value of `rvm1_map_bins`.
Changing the order we use to require `rmv1/capistrano3` and
`capistrano/puma` did not fix the issue.
Puma is the server we use in the development environment, so this way we
don't need to maintain two servers. Furthermore, puma seems to offer a
few advantages over unicorn (like multithreading) and no disadvantages.
Our current unicorn task wasn't working in some cases. We also had a
version in the `capistrano` branch, which was the one we recommended.
However, that version assumed RVM, a certain ruby version and a certain
deploy folder were used. This version uses `bundle exec` and variables
like `release_path`, so it does not depend on any specific
configuration.
Even if we're replacing unicorn with puma, I wanted to make this change
in case we need it as a reference in the future.
It's possible to have a given order greater than the number of answers;
we don't have any validation rules for that. So the check for the number
of answers isn't enough.
Checking the maximum given order in the answers is safer. Another option
would be to reorder the answers every time we add a new one, but I'm not
sure whether that's the expected behaviour.
Note even after this change the action is not thread-safe, as it is
possible to create two questions with the same given order with two
simultaneous requests.
The page could have "7777" as a content for the poll's name, since that
name is generated using a random hexadecimal number.
Restricting the search to the area of the page where the "7777" used to
be solves the problem.
Using the `_html` suffix in an i18n key is the same as using `html_safe`
on it, which means that translation could potentially be used for XSS
attacks.
Using the `_html` suffix automatically marks texts as HTML safe, so
doing so on sanitized texts is redundant.
Note flash texts are not sanitized the moment they are generated, but
are sanitized when displayed in the view.
Although this translation has HTML, we aren't marking them as HTML safe
since we're using `I18n.t` instead of Rails' helper `t` method. So using
the `_html` suffix is counterintuitive in this case.
Although it's already executed when deploying with capistrano, heroku
installations don't use capistrano for deployment, so we're also
executing it when upgrading.
This isn't a one-time task, so it makes sense to have it executed on
every release.
I was thinking of leaving these tasks empty, so in the future we could
use them again if we rename or remove more settings. But since we
haven't renamed nor removed any settings for more than seven months, and
we've only used these tasks once, I'm simply removing the tasks. It's
easy to add them back if we ever need them.
Using `<%==` is the same as using `raw`. I'm not sure if we meant
`sanitize` in this case, or it's just a typo. I'm assuming the latter
since we don't use anything similar in any other places.
This way we make sure we won't add `html_safe` or `raw` calls in the
future.
I'm excluding `text_with_links_helpers` for this check, because in this
situation the use of `html_safe` is justified: we check the original
input is safe, and we're only adding link tags to raw URLs.
They do the exact same thing; however `html_safe` might confuse
developers into thinking it will make the HTML safe. Using `raw` makes
it clear that we're inserting the text without escaping it.
The difference is `html_safe` allows every HTML tag, including the
`<script>` tag, while `sanitize` only allows tags which are considered
safe. In this case, we want to allow a `<span>` tag in a translation,
and links inside flash messages.
Sometimes we're interpolating a link inside a translation, and marking
the whole translations as HTML safe.
However, some translations added by admins to the database or through
crowdin are not entirely under our control.
Although AFAIK crowdin checks for potential cross-site scripting
attacks, it's a good practice to sanitize parts of a string potentially
out of our control before marking the string as HTML safe.
There's a slight chance an attribute like an author's name might contain
an attempt to perform XSS attacks. So, instead of marking the whole text
as HTML safe, we can sanitize it.
Also note I'm removing the `_html` suffix in the i18n key, since it's
got the same effect as using `html_safe`.
