Incompatibilidad entre los plugins Cakeday, Data-Explorer y Animated Avatar

I have both of these plugins installed.
The URL to view anniversaries (/cakeday/anniversaries/today) gives this error:

I tried to dig into the exact issue here, to me the most relevant lines are here:

app/models/concerns/roleable.rb:14:in `staff?'
plugins/discourse-animated-avatars/plugin.rb:90:in `block (2 levels) in activate!'
...
plugins/discourse-animated-avatars/plugin.rb:94:in `block (2 levels) in activate!'
...
app/controllers/application_controller.rb:519:in `serialize_data'
plugins/discourse-cakeday/app/controllers/discourse_cakeday/anniversaries_controller.rb:53:in `index'

The issue appears to be that when the “staff?” function is called, that function is not present for the user object being referred to here and therefore an error is thrown in the Animated Avatar plugin:

              user.try(:animated_avatar)
            rescue StandardError
              nil
            end
            add_to_serializer(:post, :animated_avatar) do
              object.user.try(:animated_avatar)
            rescue StandardError
              nil
            end
          end
          
          Discourse::Application.routes.append do
            get "user_avatar/:hostname/:username/:size/:version.gif" => "user_avatars#show",
                :constraints => {
                  hostname: /[\w\.-]+/,
                  size: /\d+/,
                  username: RouteFormat.username,
                  format: :gif,
                }
          end

This traces back to this Cakeday plugin, when the list of users is being serialized:

github.com

discourse/discourse-cakeday/blob/main/app/controllers/discourse_cakeday/anniversaries_controller.rb#L53


      
          # frozen_string_literal: true
          
          module DiscourseCakeday
            class AnniversariesController < CakedayController
              before_action :ensure_cakeday_enabled
          
              def index
                column_sql = "created_at"
          
                # The users.created_at column is a "timestamp without timezone"
                # so we need to convert the "point in time" to the current user's timezone
                # for proper filtering and display (otherwise you might get off by ones
                # if you live in ~~the future~~ Fiji or in ~~the past~~ Hawaii)
                if @timezone.present? && @timezone != "UTC"
                  column_sql += " AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE '#{@timezone}'"
                end
          
                users, total, more_params = cakedays_by(column_sql, at_least_one_year_old: true)
          
                render_json_dump(
                  anniversaries: serialize_data(users, CakedayUserSerializer),
                  total_rows_anniversaries: total,
                  load_more_anniversaries: anniversaries_path(more_params),
                )
              end
          
              private
          
              def ensure_cakeday_enabled
                raise Discourse::NotFound if !SiteSetting.cakeday_enabled
              end
            end
          end

Now, I’m not an expert in how the serialization is working here, but if I had to give a vague diagnosis, it’s that it looks like the Animated Avatar plugin is being given a “user” object that lacks some of the expected properties of a user object, namely the staff? function (as well as the trust_level which I found out). I think it may be a bit tricky to replicate this error as I think it requires there to be users showing up on the /cakeday/anniversaries/today page, which was non-trivial to get to happen on my development instance.

On my live forum, I also confirmed this issue persists with safe mode (official plugins only)

A similar issue is reported here: Discourse Cakeday! (Celebrating birthdays and anniversaries) - #200

Hola @piffy

A título informativo, he instalado Avatares Animados en mi sitio de prueba (junto con Cakeday ) y creo que puedo reproducir este error.

Instala y habilita ambos plugins
Usa código ingenioso en la consola de Rails ^[1] para establecer la fecha de unión del usuario de prueba como hace un año hoy
Accede a /cakeday/anniversaries/today

Pensé que podría intentar una forma más fácil y hacer lo mismo en los cumpleaños para evitar meterme con la consola de Rails, pero /cakeday/birthdays/today pareció funcionar bien.

user = User.where(username: ‘Test_Three’)
user.update(created_at: “2022-01-11 00:00:00.00000”) ↩︎

Esto también parece estar afectando al explorador de datos según

Hey @piffy, muchas gracias por el informe detallado. He actualizado la compatibilidad entre los plugins con esta PR:

Puedo acceder a la página del directorio de cakeday a través de mis pruebas, pero házmelo saber si hay algún problema pendiente.

¡Me lo soluciona! ¡Muchas gracias!
