This commit introduces the usage of Common Table Expressions (CTEs) to
efficiently retrieve nested group hierarchies, without having to rely on
the "routes" table (which is an _incredibly_ inefficient way of getting
the data). This requires a patch to ActiveRecord (found in the added
initializer) to work properly as ActiveRecord doesn't support WITH
statements properly out of the box.
Unfortunately MySQL provides no efficient way of getting nested groups.
For example, the old routes setup could easily take 5-10 seconds
depending on the amount of "routes" in a database. Providing vastly
different logic for both MySQL and PostgreSQL will negatively impact the
development process. Because of this the various nested groups related
methods return empty relations when used in combination with MySQL.
For project authorizations the logic is split up into two classes:
* Gitlab::ProjectAuthorizations::WithNestedGroups
* Gitlab::ProjectAuthorizations::WithoutNestedGroups
Both classes get the fresh project authorizations (= as they should be
in the "project_authorizations" table), including nested groups if
PostgreSQL is used. The logic of these two classes is quite different
apart from their public interface. This complicates development a bit,
but unfortunately there is no way around this.
This commit also introduces Gitlab::GroupHierarchy. This class can be
used to get the ancestors and descendants of a base relation, or both by
using a UNION. This in turn is used by methods such as:
* Namespace#ancestors
* Namespace#descendants
* User#all_expanded_groups
Again this class relies on CTEs and thus only works on PostgreSQL. The
Namespace methods will return an empty relation when MySQL is used,
while User#all_expanded_groups will return only the groups a user is a
direct member of.
Performance wise the impact is quite large. For example, on GitLab.com
Namespace#descendants used to take around 580 ms to retrieve data for a
particular user. Using CTEs we are able to reduce this down to roughly 1
millisecond, returning the exact same data.
== On The Fly Refreshing
Refreshing of authorizations on the fly (= when
users.authorized_projects_populated was not set) is removed with this
commit. This simplifies the code, and ensures any queries used for
authorizations are not mutated because they are executed in a Rails
scope (e.g. Project.visible_to_user).
This commit includes a migration to schedule refreshing authorizations
for all users, ensuring all of them have their authorizations in place.
Said migration schedules users in batches of 5000, with 5 minutes
between every batch to smear the load around a bit.
== Spec Changes
This commit also introduces some changes to various specs. For example,
some specs for ProjectTeam assumed that creating a personal project
would _not_ lead to the owner having access, which is incorrect. Because
we also no longer refresh authorizations on the fly for new users some
code had to be added to the "empty_project" factory. This chunk of code
ensures that the owner's permissions are refreshed after creating the
project, something that is normally done in Projects::CreateService.
The specs that rely on a correct value of the trackable attributes, should
include the `:redis` keyword in the spec to ensure the state is reset between
various specs.
The trackable attributes being:
- sign_in_count : Increased every time a sign in is made (by form, openid, oauth)
- current_sign_in_at : A timestamp updated when the user signs in
- last_sign_in_at : Holds the timestamp of the previous sign in
- current_sign_in_ip : The remote ip updated when the user sign in
- last_sign_in_ip : Holds the remote ip of the previous sign in
The limiting of writing trackable attributes was introduced in
gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!11053.
This controller is going to contain both the project members and groups options
for the settings gear.
Generated the route and modified the routing to point to the new members setting path
Updated members dropdowns
## What does this MR do?
EE has different dropdowns to allow for group LDAP members to be overridden, this ports the dropdown changes over to reduce conflicts.
## Screenshots (if relevant)

See merge request !7974
When the project has invitees, no group members were
returned due to a `user_id NOT IN (42, NULL)` query which
always returned [] since a `user_id` would be NULL, thus the condition
could never match.

Changes include:
- Ensure Member.add_user is not called directly when not necessary
- New GroupMember.add_users_to_group to have the same abstraction level as for Project
- Refactor Member.add_user to take a source instead of an array of members
- Fix Rubocop offenses
- Always use Project#add_user instead of project.team.add_user
- Factorize users addition as members in Member.add_users_to_source
- Make access_level a keyword argument in GroupMember.add_users_to_group and ProjectMember.add_users_to_projects
- Destroy any requester before adding them as a member
- Improve the way we handle access requesters in Member.add_user
Instead of removing the requester and creating a new member,
we now simply accepts their access request. This way, they will
receive a "access request granted" email.
- Fix error that was previously silently ignored
- Stop raising when access level is invalid in Member, let Rails validation do their work
