b58929f095 (core) reconcile webhook and widget description migrations
Summary:
Due to a mishap, two distinct migrations with the same migration
number were introduced into Grist. This diff reconciles them as
best we can, by adding another migration to make sure both desired
changes have run (and running them if not).

Test Plan:
updated a test; checked manually that documents
with different 38 migrations are handled as expected.

603238e966 (core) Adds a UI panel for managing webhooks
Summary:
This adds a UI panel for managing webhooks. Work started by Cyprien Pindat. You can find the UI on a document's settings page. Main changes relative to Cyprien's demo:

  * Changed behavior of virtual table to be more consistent with the rest of Grist, by factoring out part of the implementation of on-demand tables.
  * Cell values that would create an error can now be denied and reverted (as for the rest of Grist).
  * Changes made by other users are integrated in a sane way.
  * Basic undo/redo support is added using the regular undo/redo stack.
  * The table list in the drop-down is now updated if schema changes.
  * Added a notification from back-end when webhook status is updated so constant polling isn't needed to support multi-user operation.
  *  Factored out webhook specific logic from general virtual table support.
  * Made a bunch of fixes to various broken behavior.
  * Added tests.

The code remains somewhat unpolished, and behavior in the presence of errors is imperfect in general but may be adequate for this case.

I assume that we'll soon be lifting the restriction on the set of domains that are supported for webhooks - otherwise we'd want to provide some friendly way to discover that list of supported domains rather than just throwing an error.

I don't actually know a lot about how the front-end works - it looks like tables/columns/fields/sections can be safely added if they have string ids that won't collide with bone fide numeric ids from the back end. Sneaky.

Contains a migration, so needs an extra reviewer for that.

Test Plan: added tests

add support for conversational state to assistance endpoint (#506)
* add support for conversational state to assistance endpoint

This refactors the assistance code somewhat, to allow carrying
along some conversational state. It extends the OpenAI-flavored
assistant to make use of that state to have a conversation.
The front-end is tweaked a little bit to allow for replies that
don't have any code in them (though I didn't get into formatting
such replies nicely).

Currently tested primarily through the runCompletion script,
which has been extended a bit to allow testing simulated
conversations (where an error is pasted in follow-up, or
an expected-vs-actual comparison).

65013331a3 (core) Fix imports into reference columns, and support two ways to import Numeric as a reference.
Summary:
- When importing into a Ref column, use lookupOne() formula for correct previews.
- When selecting columns to import into a Ref column, now a Numeric column like
  'Order' will produce two options: "Order" and "Order (as row ID)".
- Fixes exports to correct the formatting of visible columns. This addresses multiple bugs:
  1. Formatting wasn't used, e.g. a Ref showing a custom-formatted date was still presented as YYYY-MM-DD in CSVs.
  2. Ref showing a Numeric column was formatted as if a row ID (e.g. `Table1[1.5]`), which is very wrong.
- If importing into a table that doesn't have a primary view, don't switch page after import.

Refactorings:
- Generalize GenImporterView to be usable in more cases; removed near-duplicated logic from node side
- Some other refactoring in importing code.
- Fix field/column option selection in ValueParser
- Add NUM() helper to turn integer-valued floats into ints, useful for "as row ID" lookups.

Test Plan: Added test cases for imports into reference columns, updated Exports test fixtures.

b4cc519616 (core) Ignore leading whitespace in formulas, and strip out leading '=' sign users might add
Summary:
This addresses two issues, differently:
- For a formula with leading whitespace, like " 1+1", it is stored as is, but
  is fixed to work (it should be valid Python, and whitespace is only stripped out
  at parsing time to avoid intentation errors caused by the way it gets parsed)
- For a formula with a leading equals-sign ("="), it is stripped out on the
  client side before the formula is stored. Grist documentation uses leading
  "=" to indicate formulas (because UI shows an "=" icon), and Excel formulas
  actually contain the leading "=", so it is a common mistake to include it.

Test Plan: Added new test cases

fb1332d529 (core) Fix bug with renaming when a formula uses a local name for a user table.
Summary:
When a formula used a local variable referring to a user table (which is
a global name), e.g. `myvar = MyTable; myvar.lookupOne(...)`, renaming
logic mistakenly used the inferred name (`MyTable`) in places where the
actual variable name (`myvar`) should have been used.

Additionally, we should not rename local variables, even if they match a
global name.

This fixes both issues.

Test Plan: Added a test case that checks that local variables aren't renamed.

Cyprien P
2b2e19c5b5 (core) Fix issue with summary update.
Summary:
The problem is that the implementation for a summary update was relying on type consistency to get columns (ie: matches agains colId and type).

Type consistency is an attempt at maintaining consistent type across same-named column for summaries of same table.

But the problem is that the consistency of types is NOT a strict guarantee or an invariant, more of a best-effort attempt (there are too many possible sequences of operations possible with renaming/adding/removing in summary tables and the underlying table).

With current implementation and with a document violating the type consistency, a summary table could end up with fields referencing columns to the former summary table (more detail below(1)). Which is a bad state (yields js errors on the client).

This diff fixes this issue by relaxing the type comparison when search for same-named column.

(1) __Below is a description of how a violation of type consistency could end-up in bad state document (example taken from the reported bug):__

> In this document, let's assume two summary tables `Table1 [by A]` and `Table1 [Totals]`. Let's also assume Table1 and `Table1 [Totals]` both have an `Amount(Numeric)` column, and that `Table1 [by A]` has one `Amount(Any)` column (violating the type consistency principle). Now when users wanted to change the `Table1 [Totals]` section to group by 'A', grist found that there is already a summary table with same grouping. But it couldn't find a matching column for `Amount(Numeric)` so it created a new one. Except that because there was still an `Amount(Any)` the new column was named `Amount2` which caused following code to ignore it and in particular forgetting to update it's corresponding section's field which was then pointing toward the column of a different table (which is bad).

Test Plan: Added python test.

add a pyodide-based "sandbox" flavor (#437)
This adds a new `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=pyodide` option where the
version of Python used for the data engine is wasm, and so can
be run by node like the rest of the back end. It still runs as
a separate process.

There are a few small version changes made to packages to avoid
various awkwardnesses present in the current versions. All existing
tests pass.

This is very experimental. To use, you'll need something with
a bash shell and make. First do:
```
cd sandbox/pyodide
make setup           # README.md and Makefile have details
cd ..
```

Then running Grist as:
```
GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=pyodide yarn start
```
should work. Adding a formula with content:
```
import sys; return sys.version
```
should return a different Python version than other sandboxes.

The motivation for this work is to have a form of sandboxing
that will work on Windows for Grist Electron (for Linux we have
gvisor/runsc, for Mac we have sandbox-exec, but I haven't found
anything comparable for Windows).

It also brings a back-end-free version of Grist a bit closer, for
use-cases where that would make sense - such as serving a report
(in the form of a Grist document) on a static site.

6dce083484 (core) add a GVISOR_USE_DEFAULT_USER flag to support different gvisor versions
Summary:
This is just a convenience for myself. I happen to have a version of
gvisor on my Linux dev machine that differs from what we use in our
containers. There's a small difference in user setup that only manifests
itself when importing files. Grist uses a directory readable only by
the creating user, created outside the container, and then accessed
within the container. For that to work, the user identities have to
line up exactly. This adds a flag I can set in my environment to make
things work. An alternative solution that doesn't require a flag
would be to make the temporary directories readable by other users,
but that seemed a bigger change than justified.

Ideally we'd make a very robust and easy to run sandbox for Linux
users, and I have ideas there for the future.

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/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.
