792565976a (core) Show example values in formula autocomplete
Summary:
This diff adds a preview of the value of certain autocomplete suggestions, especially of the form `$foo.bar` or `user.email`. The main initial motivation was to show the difference between `$Ref` and `$Ref.DisplayCol`, but the feature is more general.

The client now sends the row ID of the row being edited (along with the table and column IDs which were already sent) to the server to fetch autocomplete suggestions. The returned suggestions are now tuples `(suggestion, example_value)` where `example_value` is a string or null. The example value is simply obtained by evaluating (in a controlled way) the suggestion in the context of the given record and the current user. The string representation is similar to the standard `repr` but dates and datetimes are formatted, and the whole thing is truncated for efficiency.

The example values are shown in the autocomplete popup separated from the actual suggestion by a number of spaces calculated to:

1. Clearly separate the suggestion from the values
2. Left-align the example values in most cases
3. Avoid having so much space such that connecting suggestions and values becomes visually difficult.

The tokenization of the row is then tweaked to show the example in light grey to deemphasise it.

Main discussion where the above was decided: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1661795588100009

The diff also includes various other small improvements and fixes:

- The autocomplete popup is much wider to make room for long suggestions, particularly lookups, as pointed out in https://phab.getgrist.com/D3580#inline-41007. The wide popup is the reason a fancy solution was needed to position the example values. I didn't see a way to dynamically resize the popup based on suggestions, and it didn't seem like a good idea to try.
- The `grist` and `python` labels previously shown on the right are removed. They were not helpful (https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1659697086155179) and would get in the way of the example values.
- Fixed a bug in our custom tokenization that caused function arguments to be weirdly truncated in the middle: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1661956353699169?thread_ts=1661953258.342739&cid=CDHABLZJT and https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1659696778991339
- Hide suggestions involving helper columns like `$gristHelper_Display` or `Table.lookupRecords(gristHelper_Display=` (https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1661953258342739). The former has been around for a while and seems to be a mistake. The fix is simply to use `is_visible_column` instead of `is_user_column`. Since the latter is not used anywhere else, and using it in the first place seems like a mistake more than anything else, I've also removed the function to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
- Don't suggest private columns as lookup arguments: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1662133416652499?thread_ts=1661795588.100009&cid=CDHABLZJT
- Only fetch fresh suggestions specifically after typing `lookupRecords(` or `lookupOne(` rather than just `(`, as this would needlessly hide function suggestions which could still be useful to see the arguments. However this only makes a difference when there are still multiple matching suggestions, otherwise Ace hides them anyway.

Test Plan: Extended and updated several Python and browser tests.

1864b7ba5d (core) Add BulkAddOrUpdateRecord action for efficiency
Summary:
This diff adds a new `BulkAddOrUpdateRecord` user action which is what is sounds like:

- A bulk version of the existing `AddOrUpdateRecord` action.
- Much more efficient for operating on many records than applying many individual actions.
- Column values are specified as maps from `colId` to arrays of values as usual.
- Produces bulk versions of `AddRecord` and `UpdateRecord` actions instead of many individual actions.

Examples of users wanting to use something like `AddOrUpdateRecord` with large numbers of records:

- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1651789710290879
- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1660743493480119
- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1660333148491559
- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1663069291726159

I tested what made many `AddOrUpdateRecord` actions slow in the first place. It was almost entirely due to producing many individual `AddRecord` user actions. About half of that time was for processing the resulting `AddRecord` doc actions. Lookups and updates were not a problem. With these changes, the slowness is gone.

The Python user action implementation is more complex but there are no surprises. The JS API now groups `records` based on the keys of `require` and `fields` so that `BulkAddOrUpdateRecord` can be applied to each group.

Test Plan: Update and extend Python and DocApi tests.

56624c4a95 (core) Fix undo error for automatically removed rows, especially in summary tables
Summary:
Fixes a bug noted here: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1662564341132349

This bug could happen quite easily as follows:

1. Have a formula in a summary table such as `$group.amount`. Typically there's also a `SUM` but that's not essential.
2. Find a group with nonzero values of `amount`.
3. Delete all rows in that group in the source table. Typically that just means one row in a lonely group.
4. The summary table row is automatically deleted.
5. Try to undo. This raises an error about trying to update a non-existent summary table row.

I tried to account for this undo problem in https://phab.getgrist.com/D3489 by not saving the updated value for `$group` when it was found to be empty. The reason this was insufficient is that `$group.amount` is immediately invalidated anyway when the source row(s) are deleted (I think because that's just how dependency relations involving references work) *and* the calculated value of `$group.amount` changes even if `$group` doesn't. For example, `$group.amount` may have previously been `[100, 200]`. After deleting the rows, `$group.amount` becomes `[0, 0]`. Keeping `$group` unchanged prevents `$group.amount` from just being `[]`, but deleting the source rows means that the amounts become the numeric default `0` which is still a change. This change in value is then noted which leads to saving an undo action to update the summary table record. All this happens in step 3 above, and the summary record is only deleted after that point.

This diff removes that special handling for `group` and instead adds a more general fix to `action_summary.py`. This inserts undo actions for deleted rows at the beginning of the undo list rather than at the end, which was already done for deleted tables and columns.

just updated entries and yarn.lock changes.

Non-trivial code updates include:
 * A change related to axios typing
 * A change related to jquery dropping `size()` in favor of `length`

42afb17e36 (core) Run and test imports only in Python 3, upgrade openpyxl, fix weird date handling
Summary:
Python 2 only needs to be supported for the sake of old documents and formulas. This doesn't apply to the separate sandboxes that parse files for imports. Using Python 3 only allows using newer libraries and library versions. In particular, the latest version of openpyxl doesn't support Python 2. This will also make it easier to make other similar changes in the future, such as replacing messytables with a modern library. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1661261829343999?thread_ts=1661260442.837959&cid=C0234CPPXPA

The latest openpyxl is better at handling a particular edge case with broken dates in Excel, but still doesn't quite do what we want, so we monkeypatch it. Discussion: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C02EGJ1FUCV/p1661440851911869?thread_ts=1661154219.515549&cid=C02EGJ1FUCV

Setting `preferredPythonVersion` to '3' in SafePythonComponent ensures that JS always creates import sandboxes that use Python 3. Within Python, a module used by all imports will raise an error in Python 2. Python unit tests of imports are now only run in Python 3, using the `load_tests` protocol of `unittest`.

Test Plan: Mostly existing tests. Added another strange date to the Excel fixture.

42060df29a (core) Formula autocomplete improvements for references and lookups
Summary:
Makes the following improvements to formula autocomplete:

- When a user types `$RefCol` (or part of it), also show `$RefCol.VisibleCol` (replace actual column names) in the autocomplete even before the `.` is typed, to help users understand the difference between a raw reference/record and its visible column.
- When a user types a table name, show `.lookupOne` and `.lookupRecords` in the autocomplete, again even before the `.` is typed.
- For `.lookupRecords(` and `.lookupOne(`, once the `(` is entered, suggest each column name as a keyword argument.
- Also suggest lookup arguments involving compatible reference columns, especially 'reverse reference' lookups like `refcol=$id` which are very common and difficult for users.
- To support these features, the Ace editor autocomplete needs some patching to fetch fresh autocomplete options after typing `.` or `(`. This also improves unrelated behaviour that wasn't great before when one column name is contained in another. See the first added browser test.

b416a5c4b1 (core) Fix error when updating summary table formulas after rename
Summary:
Formulas in summary tables were being associated with the source table for automatic updating. When a table/column was renamed such that the formula needed to update to match, it would look for a column with the same colId but in the source table. Such a column might not exist which would lead to an error, or if it existed then the update would be wrong.

This association was created while building formulas to display in the code view in a nested `_Summary` class, it didn't need to exist at all. So this diff simply prevents the association from being created.

083a0ec000 (core) Allow using MIN and MAX functions with dates/datetimes

An example of this being a problem is here: https://community.getgrist.com/t/last-field-circularreferror-what-is-it/1114/4 . Using `MIN` on a column of dates would return 0 (the default) which gets converted to 1970-01-01. Users have to use `min` instead, which is confusing, and doesn't work when some values are empty.

This diff lets the functions operate on date and datetime values. A mixture of dates and datetimes is allowed, even though these cannot usually be compared in Python. Mixing dates and numbers will raise an exception.

b8486dcdba (core) Nice summary table IDs
Summary:
Changes auto-generated summary table IDs from e.g. `GristSummary_6_Table1` to `Table1_summary_A_B` (meaning `Table1` grouped by `A` and `B`). This makes it easier to write formulas involving summary tables, make API requests, understand logs, etc.

Because these don't encode the source table ID as reliably as before, `decode_summary_table_name` now uses the summary table schema info, not just the summary table ID. Specifically, it looks at the type of the `group` column, which is `RefList:<source table id>`.

Renaming a source table renames the summary table as before, and now renaming a groupby column renames the summary table as well.

Conflicting table names are resolved in the usual way by adding a number at the end, e.g. `Table1_summary_A_B2`. These summary tables are not automatically renamed when the disambiguation is no longer needed.

A new migration renames all summary tables to the new scheme, and updates formulas using summary tables with a simple regex.

Test Plan:
Updated many tests to use the new style of name.

Added new Python tests to for resolving conflicts when renaming source tables and groupby columns.

Added a test for the migration, including renames in formulas.

8bab8c18fa (core) Clear error.__traceback__ to prevent memory leaks
Summary: When a formula raises an exception, we store that in the cell in memory. In Python 3, exceptions have a `__traceback__` attribute, which includes all the stack frames and local variables. This has huge memory leak potential. We already strategically format the exception when needed, we don't need to keep storing the actual traceback object.

Test Plan:
Manually tested that tracebacks are still sensible.

To check the effect on memory usage, made a simple test doc with 30k rows all containing an exception, and here's what ps aux says:

```
       %MEM    VSZ   RSS
before: 2.4 681996 588828
after:  1.6 499052 405712

dd2eadc86e (core) Speed up and upgrade build.
Summary:
- Upgrades to build-related packages:
  - Upgrade typescript, related libraries and typings.
  - Upgrade webpack, eslint; add tsc-watch, node-dev, eslint_d.

- Build organization changes:
  - Build webpack from original typescript, transpiling only; with errors still
    reported by a background tsc watching process.

- Typescript-related changes:
  - Reduce imports of AWS dependencies (very noticeable speedup)
  - Avoid auto-loading global @types
  - Client code is now built with isolatedModules flag (for safe transpilation)
  - Use allowJs to avoid copying JS files manually.

- Linting changes
  - Enhance Arcanist ESLintLinter to run before/after commands, and set up to use eslint_d
  - Update eslint config, and include .eslintignore to avoid linting generated files.
  - Include a bunch of eslint-prompted and eslint-generated fixes
  - Add no-unused-expression rule to eslint, and fix a few warnings about it

- Other items:
  - Refactor cssInput to avoid circular dependency
  - Remove a bit of unused code, libraries, dependencies

Test Plan: No behavior changes, all existing tests pass. There are 30 tests fewer reported because `test_gpath.py` was removed (it's been unused for years)

9fffb491f9 (core) External requests
Summary:
Adds a Python function `REQUEST` which makes an HTTP GET request. Behind the scenes it:

- Raises a special exception to stop trying to evaluate the current cell and just keep the existing value.
- Notes the request arguments which will be returned by `apply_user_actions`.
- Makes the actual request in NodeJS, which sends back the raw response data in a new action `RespondToRequests` which reevaluates the cell(s) that made the request.
- Wraps the response data in a class which mimics the `Response` class of the `requests` library.

In certain cases, this asynchronous flow doesn't work and the sandbox will instead synchronously call an exported JS method:

- When reevaluating a single cell to get a formula error, the request is made synchronously.
- When a formula makes multiple requests, the earlier responses are retrieved synchronously from files which store responses as long as needed to complete evaluating formulas. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/CL1LQ8AT0/p1653399747810139

Test Plan: Added Python and nbrowser tests.

1c89d08ea3 (core) Add a row to summary tables grouped by list column(s) corresponding to empty lists
Summary:
Adds some special handling to summary table and lookup logic:

- Source rows with empty choicelists/reflists get a corresponding summary row with an empty string/reference when grouping by that column, instead of excluding them from any group
- Adds a new `QueryOperation` 'empty' in the client which is used in `LinkingState`, `QuerySet`, and `recursiveMoveToCursorPos` to match empty lists in source tables against falsy values in linked summary tables.
- Adds a new parameter `match_empty` to the Python `CONTAINS` function so that regular formulas can implement the same behaviour as summary tables. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1654030490932119
- Uses the new `match_empty` argument in the formula generated for the `group` column when detaching a summary table.

Test Plan: Updated and extended Python and nbrowser tests of summary tables grouped by choicelists to test for new behaviour with empty lists.

c5ebd7db3d (core) Add PEEK() function to bypass circular dependencies
Summary:
Adds a Python function `PEEK()` for use in formulas which temporarily sets a new attribute `Engine._peeking` which disables the `_use_node` method, preventing dependency tracking and allowing the given expression to use outdated values. This allows circumventing circular reference errors. It's particularly meant for trigger formulas although it works in normal formulas as well. The expression is wrapped in a `lambda` by `codebuilder` for lazy evaluation.

Discussion: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1653571024031359

Test Plan: Added a Python unit test for circular trigger formulas using PEEK.

8ee23f5344 (core) Mark column changing actions as indirect when adding data to empty column
Summary:
Fixing https://gristlabs.getgrist.com/doc/check-ins/p/12#a1.s19.r1045.c19 :

> Problem: user creates fresh new empty column. Users with access to write to that column, but not modify schema, will not in fact be able to write into it (since on first data entry column type needs to change). Experience is confusing.

Refactored `enter_indirection` and `leave_indirection` to a single context manager method for use with `with` instead of `try/finally`.

Used the new method in `_ensure_column_accepts_data` around column changing actions converting empty column to data column.

Test Plan:
Updated a Python test, reflecting that the correct actions are now marked as direct=False.

Tested manually that I can now add data to a blank column without schema access, while I wasn't able to before, and I still can't make other schema changes.

3ad2d9212e (core) Prevent rebuilding usercode for every AddColumn when importing
Summary:
Importing a file with many columns would be very slow due to expensive calls to rebuild_usercode for each added column: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C02EGJ1FUCV/p1652395747972749?thread_ts=1652388644.394419&cid=C02EGJ1FUCV

This diff suppresses rebuild_usercode temporarily while adding columns in a loop in MakeImportTransformColumns, then calls it once afterwards.

Test Plan: Manually imported a wide file repeatedly. Eventually, whehn importing a file with 300 columns, generating the preview went from taking about 100 seconds to 20 seconds.

fb575a8b7e (core) Ensure formulas return something and don't assign to attributes of rec
Summary: To help with mistakes in formulas, forbid assigning to attributes of `rec` (e.g. `$foo = 1` which should probably be `==`) and ensure that there is at least one `return` in the formula (after maybe adding an implicit one at the end).

Test Plan: Extended Python unit test, updated tests which were missing return.

cf23a2d1ee (core) add GVISOR_LIMIT_MEMORY to cap memory available in sandbox
Summary:
This allows limiting the memory available to documents in the sandbox when gvisor is used. If memory limit is exceeded, we offer to open doc in recovery mode. Recovery mode is tweaked to open docs with tables in "ondemand" mode, which will generally take less memory and allow for deleting rows.

The limit is on the size of the virtual address space available to the sandbox (`RLIMIT_AS`), which in practice appears to function as one would want, and is the only practical option. There is a documented `RLIMIT_RSS` limit to `specifies the limit (in bytes) of the process's resident set (the number of virtual pages resident in RAM)` but this is no longer enforced by the kernel (neither the host nor gvisor).

When the sandbox runs out of memory, there are many ways it can fail. This diff catches all the ones I saw, but there could be more.

Test Plan: added tests
