- Some customers are seeing many spammy signups ("hundreds a day") — our
hypothesis is that bots and/or email link checkers are able to signup by
simply following the link in the email without even loading the page in
a browser.
- Currently new members signup by clicking a magic link in an email,
which is a simple GET request. When the user (or a bot) clicks that link, Ghost
creates the member and signs them in for the first time.
- This change, behind an alpha flag, requires a new member to click the
link in the email, which takes them to a new frontend route `/confirm_signup/`, then submit a form on the page which sends a POST request to the
server. If JavaScript is enabled, the form will be submitted
automatically so the only change to the user is an extra flash/redirect
before being signed in and redirected to the homepage.
- This change is behind the alpha flag `membersSpamPrevention` so we can
test it out on a few customer's sites and see if it helps reduce the
spam signups. With the flag off, the signup flow remains the same as
before.

This is a revision of a previous commit, that broke the browser tests
because changes in the data generator (requiring bookshelf had side
effects).
This adds a new way to run all tests with enforced numeric ObjectIDs.
These numeric ids cause issues if they are used withing NQL filters. So
they surface tiny bugs in our codebase.
You can run tests using this option via:
NUMERIC_IDS=1 yarn test:e2e
Removed some defensive logic that could be explained by this discovered
issue.

- Adds the transient_id column to the members table. This defaults to
email, to keep it backwards compatible (not logging out all existing
sessions)
- Instead of using the email in the cookies, we now use the transient_id
- Updating the transient_id means invalidating all sessions of a member
- Adds an endpoint to the admin api to log out a member from all devices
- Added the `all` body property to the DELETE session endpoint in the
members API. Setting it to true will sign a member out from all devices.
- Adds a UI button in Admin to sign a member out from all devices
- Portal 'sign out of all devices' will not be added for now
Related changes (added because these areas were affected by the code
changes):
- Adds a serializer to member events / activity feed endpoints - all
member fields were returned here, so the transient_id would also be
returned - which is not needed and bloats the API response size
(`transient_id` is not a secret because the cookies are signed)
- Removed `loadMemberSession` from public settings browse (not used
anymore + bad pattern)
Performance tests on site with 50.000 members (on Macbook M1 Pro):
- Migrate: 6s (adding column 4s, setting to email is 1s, dropping
nullable: 1s)
- Rollback: 2s

The newsletter uuids were not passed when fetching all the members current newsletters. Therefore, Portals logic broke to remove all newsletters that matched the uuid that was passed to the unsubscribe link. No newsletters were removed, still the notification toast said that the member was unsubscribed from the newsletter.
no issue
When a custom welcome page is set for a tier, the recommendations modal
didn't show. If recommendations were disabled, there was also no toast
to confirm the sign up.
To fix this, we'll need to set the success and action query parameters
on the welcome page, but only if it is not an external site.

We no longer use the 'reason' of a recommendation, but allow a flexible
description instead. Because this is a breaking change in the API, we do
this before making this feature GA.

- The newsletters in members payload have leaked internal properties from Public Members API. The code skipped the output serialization step, which is now in place.
- The newsletter resource returned from the API consistently returns these properties:
id,
name,
description,
sort_order
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Arch/issues/87
- The Members Admin API and members.* webhooks were returning too many fields in the nested `newsletters` objects. There was no "allowlist" serializer for the newsletter object, which meant every time we add a new field to the database we would unintentionally return extra fields without a second thought.
- With this change only following fields will be returned with `members[x].newsletters[x]`:
'id',
'name',
'description',
'status'

We're rolling out new rules around the node assert library, the first of which is enforcing the use of assert/strict. This means we don't need to use the strict version of methods, as the standard version will work that way by default.
This caught some gotchas in our existing usage of assert where the lack of strict mode had unexpected results:
- Url matching needs to be done on `url.href` see aa58b354a4
- Null and undefined are not the same thing, there were a few cases of this being confused
- Particularly questionable changes in [PostExporter tests](c1a468744b) tracked [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/3505).
- A typo see eaac9c293a
Moving forward, using assert strict should help us to catch unexpected behaviour, particularly around nulls and undefineds during implementation.

This adds attribution tracking to the signup form. It sends a newly
created url history when sending the signup API call, this url history
will get translated to a proper attribution and saved on the backend. We
send a history with only a single item that contains the referrer
source, medium and path of the Embed form.
This also makes some changes to the E2E tests so that the tests run
in an https environment instead of about:blank.

This commit removes the `memberAttribution` feature flag from the

the associated CSS files have side effects sadly.

The Stripe Mocker mocks the Stripe API in memory, to make it much easier
to test subscription flows. Currently it is more a POC to see if it
works well. It probably needs a bit more work to support more scenarios.
- Added new tests for the subscription stats endpoint for 3D secure +
free trial flows using the new Stripe Mocker
- Updated members admin api tests to use Stripe Mocker (+ added new test
for deleting members with Stripe cancellation)
- Some tests called mockStripe at the beginning, but that method did
nothing apart from disabling network (which is the default now), then
they mocked Stripe inside the tests file... so I've removed those
because those conflict with the new mocker that is enabled when calling
mockStripe. We'll need to port those over later.
- this cleans up all imports or variables that aren't currently being used
- this really helps keep the tests clean by only allowing what is needed
- I've left `should` as an exemption for now because we need to clean up
how it is used
no issue
- Nock doesn't support multiple calls to enableNetConnect -> only the last one counts. This fixes that issue.
- Some tests interacted directly with nock instead of using the mockManager to restore everything.

There are a couple of issues with resetting the Ghost instance between
E2E test files:
These issues came to the surface because of new tests written in
https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/16117
**1. configUtils.restore does not work correctly**
`config.reset()` is a callback based method. On top of that, it doesn't
really work reliably (https://github.com/indexzero/nconf/issues/93)
What kinda happens, is that you first call `config.reset` but
immediately after you correcty reset the config using the `config.set`
calls afterwards. But since `config.reset` is async, that reset will
happen after all those sets, and the end result is that it isn't reset
correctly.
This mainly caused issues in the new updated images tests, which were
updating the config `imageOptimization.contentImageSizes`, which is a
deeply nested config value. Maybe some references to objects are reused
in nconf that cause this issue?
Wrapping `config.reset()` in a promise does fix the issue.
**2. Adapters cache not reset between tests**
At the start of each test, we set `paths:contentPath` to a nice new
temporary directory. But if a previous test already requests a
localStorage adapter, that adapter would have been created and in the
constructor `paths:contentPath` would have been passed. That same
instance will be reused in the next test run. So it won't read the new
config again. To fix this, we need to reset the adapter instances
between E2E tests.
How was this visible? Test uploads were stored in the actual git
repository, and not in a temporary directory. When writing the new image
upload tests, this also resulted in unreliable test runs because some
image names were already taken (from previous test runs).
**3. Old 2E2 test Ghost server not stopped**
Sometimes we still need access to the frontend test server using
`getAgentsWithFrontend`. But that does start a new Ghost server which is
actually listening for HTTP traffic. This could result in a fatal error
in tests because the port is already in use. The issue is that old E2E
tests also start a HTTP server, but they don't stop the server. When you
used the old `startGhost` util, it would check if a server was already
running and stop it first. The new `getAgentsWithFrontend` now also has
the same functionality to fix that issue.

Due to the bump in express-test, we now handle string bodies 'properly'. So they now pass all the Express middlewares. In the past this failing test did not really pass by the bodyParser.raw middleware,
so the content-type check on the `bodyParser.raw({type: 'application/json'})` middleware was not executed. Now it is, and the test fails because the content-type header was not set to application/json.
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/2400
- we've deemed it useful to start to return `Content-Version` for all
API requests, because it becomes useful to know which version of Ghost
a response has come from in logs
- this should also help us detect Admin<->Ghost API mismatches, which
was the cause of a bug recently (ref'd issue)
no issue
With the increased usage of DomainEvents, it gets harder to build
reliable tests without having to resort to timeouts. This utility method
allows us to wait for all events to be processed before continuing with
the test.
This change should speed up tests and make them more reliable.
It only adds extra code when running tests and shouldn't impact
production.
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/1996
**Issue**
Our Magic links are valid for 24 hours. After first usage, the token
lives for a further 10 minutes, so that in the case of email servers or
clients that "visit" links, the token can still be used.
The implementation of the 10 minute window uses setTimeout, meaning if
the process is interrupted, the 10 minute window is ignored completely,
and the token will continue to live for the remainder of it's 24 hour
validity period. To prevent that, the tokens are cleared on boot at the
moment.
**Solution**
To remove the boot clearing logic, we need to make sure the tokens are
only valid for 10 minutes after first use even during restarts.
This commit adds 3 new fields to the SingleUseToken model:
- updated_at: for storing the last time the token was changed/used). Not
really used atm.
- first_used_at: for storing the first time the token was used
- used_count: for storing the number of times the token has been used
Using these fields:
- A token can only be used 3 times
- A token is only valid for 10 minutes after first use, even if the
server restarts in between
- A token is only valid for 24 hours after creation (not changed)
We now also delete expired tokens in a separate job instead of on boot /
in a timeout.
no issue
- The sleep method has been used in 8 modules reimplementing the same thing over and over again. It's usually a sign of async event processing outside of the request/response loop. It's good to have a single point of implementation for a "hack" like this, so we could track it easier and address the even processing delay in a more optimal way centrally if it ever becomes a bottleneck

The approach of using the service to lead email suppression data as
opposed to bookshelf relations allows us to wire things up without
having implemented the database. The getBulkSuppressionData allows us to
do this without much of a DB performance hit.

Whilst we were checking for Stripe objects being active, we were not
checking for them existing in Stripe. This adds handling to all read
request to Stripe in the payment link flow, so that we can gracefully
handle deleted objects.
We've also included an automated test which fails without this fix.
We've also improved the query to find Stripe Prices which will result
in less request to the Stripe API to check if it is valid.
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/commit/1f300fb781f0
The full customer object was not being passed to the StripeAPI service
when it already exists, this was resulting in inconsistent behaviour when
sending the customerEmail param to the API, causing `invalid_email`
errors to be thrown from Stripe and breaking the checkout.
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/2196
We were incorrectly assuming that all requests would have the
`customerEmail` passed in the body. Instead we were incorrectly
passing `undefined` or `''` as the `customerEmail` property to stripe,
which resulted in a validation error.
We've updated the code to pass `null` in the case of a falsy value,
which the Stripe API handles without error.
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/2195
The issue here is two-fold, and specific to using Offers so was not
caught by any automated tests. First, we were incorrectly comparing
the tier.id to the offer.tier.id - this is because the Tier objects id
property is an instance of ObjectID rather than a string.
Secondly we were passing through the cadence parameter from the
request body, but when using Offers this is not including in the
request, so we must pull the data off of the Offer object instead and
pass that to the payments service.
