The link to show stats for these polls is nowhere to be seen in the
application, and these stats are included in the budget stats, so it
makes sense to restrict access to them.
When defining abilities, scopes cover more cases because they can be
used to check permissions for a record and to filter a collection. Ruby
blocks can only be used to check permissions for a record.
Note the `Budget::Phase.kind_or_later` name sounds funny, probably
because we use the word "phase" for both an an attribute in the budgets
table and an object associated with the budget, and so naming methods
for a budget phase is a bit tricky.
There's no reason to allow administrators to check stats and results for
a poll when it isn't finished or when results and stats are not enabled.
Now admins have the same permissions as everyone else.
This feature wasn't properly tested nor reviewed, and after reviewing
several pull requests with a similar status and considering this pull
request is related to the public area of the web, we've decided to
remove it before releasing version 1.1.
This commit reverts commit 4f50e67a.
Although we weren't showing links in the views to execute certain
actions, forms could be still sent using a PUT/PATCH pull request to the
controller actions.
The new CSV report was more configurable and could work on proposals,
processes and comments. However, it had several issues.
In the public area, by default it generated a blank file.
In the admin section, the report was hard to configure and it generated
a file with less quality than the old system.
So until we improve this system, we're bringing back the old investment
CSV exporter.
This commit reverts most of commit 9d1ca3bf.
We were adding the condition to show the form in the view. However, that
doesn't prevent users from sending a POST/PUT request to the controller
action.
We could add the condition to the controller as well, but since the
`valuate` permission is only used in one place, it's easier to restrict
that permission to valuators who can edit the dossier.
The current tracking section had a few issues:
* When browsing as an admin, this section becomes useless since no
investments are shown
* Browsing investments in the admin section, you're suddenly redirected
to the tracking section, making navigation confusing
* One test related to the officing dashboard failed due to these changes
and had been commented
* Several views and controller methods were copied from other sections,
leading to duplication and making the code harder to maintain
* Tracking routes were defined for proposals and legislation processes,
but in the tracking section only investments were shown
* Probably many more things, since these issues were detected after only
an hour reviewing and testing the code
So we're removing this untested section before releasing version 1.1. We
might add it back afterwards.
We were using two different systems to set translations in JavaScript:
to set the text for languages, we were using data attributes, and to set
the text for staff members, we were using AJAX calls.
I find data attributes keep the code more simple, since there's no need
to define an extra route and controller action. Furthermore, the user
experience is better because response times are faster.
So now both places use data attributes.
Unfortunately this feature wasn't properly reviewed and tested, and it
had many bugs, some of them critical and hard to fix, like validations
being skipped in concurrent requests.
So we're removing it before releasing version 1.1. We might add it back
in the future if we manage to solve the critical issues.
This commit reverts commit 836f9ba7.
There were some confusing definitions regarding the valuation of budget
investments.
In the controller, `CommentableActions` was included, which includes the
update action.
In the abilities, a valuator was given permission to update an
investment.
However, the action to update an investment didn't work because there is
no route defined to do so.
The ability was defined so valuators could access the "edit" action,
which will not call the "update" action but the "valuate" action. Since
internally "edit" and "update" use the same permission, it worked.
But then we added permission for regular users to update budget
investments, and these permissions were allowing valuators to update
another user's investment.
After this change, everything seems to work properly since we check
authorization in the controller itself instead of using abilities.
When creating a budget investment with an unverified manager (for
example, a manager who isn't part of the local census), there's a
request to `Budgets::InvestmentsController#suggest`. Since the manager
isn't verified, suggestions can't be obtained.
There are serveral ways to fix this problem:
* Add a `suggest` action to Management::Budgets::InvestmentsController,
doing the same thing the main `suggest` action does.
* Give unverified users permission to access investment suggestions
* Give managers permission to access investment suggestions
I've chosen the last one because I thought it was simple and only
changed existing behaviour for managers, but any other solution would be
as valid. I haven't added the `phase: "accepting"` condition to keep it
simple, since a read-only action like this one in the management portal
isn't gonna create security risks.
When accessing the URL `/admin/stats/budget_balloting?budget_id=X'
for a budget in a phase prior to the balloting phase, the following
error was raised due to the stats where not calculated yet.
Instead, we'll now show a flash message.
