After a user assigned as a budget admin deletes their account or gets blocked by
a moderator, the application throws an exception while loading the admin
investment index page.
As an erased user is not really deleted and neither its associated roles, the
application was failing when trying to sort and administration without a
username. In this case, the application was throwing an `ArgumentError:
comparison of NilClass with String failed` exception.
As a blocked user is not deleted or its roles, the application failed when trying
to access the user name through the delegation in the Administrator. In this
case, the application was throwing a `NoMethodError: undefined method `name' for
nil:NilClass` exception.
Just like we did in commit 0214184b2d for investments, we're removing
some possible optimizations (we don't have any benchmarks proving they
affect performance at all) in order to simplify the code.
The investement votes component `delegate` code was accidentally left
but isn't used since commit 0214184b2, so we're removing it now that
we're removing the `voted_for?` helper method.
It could be argued that seeing which proposals a user follows is a good
indicator of which proposals a user has supported, since we're
automatically creating follows for supported proposals since commit
74fbde09f. So now, we're extending the `public_interests` funcionality,
so it only shows elements users are following if they've enabled it.
This is an improvement over using the `public_activity` attribute in two
ways:
* The `public_interests` attribute is disabled by default, so by default
other users won't be able to see what a user is following
* Who has created proposals/debates/investments/comments is public
information, while who is following which elements is not; so enabling
`public_activity` shouldn't imply potentially private information should
be displayed as well
We've considered removing the `public_interests` attribute completely
and just hiding the "following" page for everyone except its owner, but
keeping it provides more compatibility with existing installations.
We're not adding the rule because it would apply the current line length
rule of 110 characters per line. We still haven't decided whether we'll
keep that rule or make lines shorter so they're easier to read,
particularly when vertically splitting the editor window.
So, for now, I'm applying the rule to lines which are about 90
characters long.
`dalli_store` is deprecated since dalli 2.7.11.
We can now enable cache_versioning. We didn't enable it when upgrading
to Rails 5.2 because of possible incompatibility with `dalli_store` [1],
even though apparently some the issues were fixed in dalli 2.7.9 and
dalli 2.7.10 [2].
Since using cache versioning makes cache expiration more efficient, and
I'm not sure whether the options we were passing to the dalli store are
valid with memcache store (documentation here is a bit lacking), I'm
just removing the option we used to double the default cache size on
production.

We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.

Having exceptions is better than having silent bugs.
There are a few methods I've kept the same way they were.
The `RelatedContentScore#score_with_opposite` method is a bit peculiar:
it creates scores for both itself and the opposite related content,
which means the opposite related content will try to create the same
scores as well.
We've already got a test to check `Budget::Ballot#add_investment` when
creating a line fails ("Edge case voting a non-elegible investment").
Finally, the method `User#send_oauth_confirmation_instructions` doesn't
update the record when the email address isn't already present, leading
to the test "Try to register with the email of an already existing user,
when an unconfirmed email was provided by oauth" fo fail if we raise an
exception for an invalid user. That's because updating a user's email
doesn't update the database automatically, but instead a confirmation
email is sent.
There are also a few false positives for classes which don't have bang
methods (like the GraphQL classes) or destroying attachments.
For these reasons, I'm adding the rule with a "Refactor" severity,
meaning it's a rule we can break if necessary.
While in theory we wouldn't need to use the `transient` nor the
`after(:create)` because there's already a `has_many :through`
association with followers, Factory Bot / ActiveRecord don't
automatically associate the followable, resulting in an invalid record
exception.
We're using `eq` and `match_array` in most places, but there were a few
places where we were still checking each element is included in the
array. This is a bit dangerous, because the array could have duplicate
elements, and we wouldn't detect them with `include`.
We were using `to_sentence` to check the order, while it's easier to
just check the exact contents of the array.
Furthermore, using `to_sentence` checked the order of the array, so it
was a potentially flaky spec since the method doesn't specify an order
and PostgreSQL doesn't guarantee the order of the records.
Joining the translations table caused duplicate records to appear.
Ordering with SQL is simply too hard because we need to consider
fallback locales.
Thanks Senén for providing most of the tests in the poll spec.
I've moved the method to the User model in order to make it easier to
test. I'm not sure where it belongs, though.
There was already a failing spec in `spec/features/management_spec.rb`,
but it passed if run standalone because it only failed if previous tests
had already created nine users or more.
We were seeing an exceptions in the home page when displaying
recommendations. This was due to trying to load tags of hidden proposals
With this commit we are skipping proposals that that have been hidden,
which will hopefully solve this exception
allows managers to create users without email
hides email preferences from account page for email-less users
prevents email delivery to users with no email
adds spec for user creation from management
adds specs for user's email requirement
adds spec for no deliveries if no email
