The main change here is that we now send a single PM to a group rather than individual PMs to each group member.
This change also adds email recipients correctly as target_emails since support was added within Discourse Automation.
This PR fixes 2 issues that were picked up by users for the Scheduled Data Explorer Report automation script and a couple of small improvements to better match the format of manual data explorer query results.
The first issue is that within result_to_markdown the colrender contains null values, and we are currently checking length (previously treated as a packed array but it is actually a sparse array). Therefore we can check if the current index of the array is null rather than checking the size of the array.
The second issue addresses the blank query_params field. When the data explorer script does not require any params to be passed in via the automation script then it will have a nil value, however it should be defaulted to {} within the plugin.
To improve formatting the markdown table for PMs is now aligned to left and where values are substituted (for example user_id becomes username) we then include the id within brackets, for example:
user_id becomes username (user_id)
Data Explorer can run arbitrary SQL queries which can be costly for us if over-used. Because of that we want to add the ability to rate limit the query run endpoint, in particular when requested programmatically using API.
This commit introduces a rate limit to the `QueryController#run` endpoint. It heavily leans on the existing `RateLimiter` implementation, and the ability of `ApplicationController` to turn rate limit exceptions into nicely formatted JSON responses.
The rate limit (per 10 seconds) can be configured through the global setting `max_data_explorer_api_reqs_per_10_seconds`, and defaults to 2.
Handling can be configured through `max_data_explorer_api_req_mode`, and can be set to warn, block, or both warn and block. We will default to warn for now and monitor the logs for a while.
This feature enables admins to create reports automatically based on a recurring schedule.
It introduces a new automation script that includes the new email_group_user field added to discourse-automation, along with a query_id and query_params to pass in parameters to the existing data explorer query.
The output of the report will be sent via pm (as a markdown table) to the recipients entered within the automation script.
The automation (supports individual users, email addresses and groups).
This commit updates the plugin to the latest guidelines, as shown in
discourse-plugin-skeleton, which involves moving a lot of the code to
dedicated files, use proper namespaces, use the autoloader as much as
possible, etc.
- Require query name is present
- Ensure all routes are treated by default as .json, so errors flow correctly
- Remove superflous save/cancel controls from group settings
- Remove group control when item is destroyed
- Disable editing of query when it is deleted

Before this fix, the use of PG template patterns containing ":" or the
use of "?" in comments in the SQL will result in an error being raised
because `DB.param_encoder.encode` calls ActiveRecord's `sanitize_sql_array` which is
meant for SQL fragments and not an entire SQL string.
Instead we change data-explorer to use `MiniSql::InlineParamEncoder`
instead which takes into account of template patterns and does not trip
on `?` which is a special param encoding character used by ActiveRecord.
Previously the `QUERY_RESULT_DEFAULT_LIMIT` const was used
to limit the number of query results. This commit adds the
`data_explorer_query_result_limit` site setting which defaults
to 1000 and has a max of 10000 which matches the const
`QUERY_RESULT_MAX_LIMIT`.
1. It doesn't seem to be necessary?
2. It looks like it was triggering some warnings (`Creating scope :for_group. Overwriting existing method DataExplorer::Query.for_group.`)
Previously this was adding an extra AJAX request to check if the group had any queries available. Now a boolean is included in the group serializer, so there is no need for the extra request.
Removing this ajax request will also stop other plugin JS integration tests from failing when the data-explorer plugin is installed.
This commit also fixes the HTML markup of the tab, so that it doesn't have a <ul> nested inside the existing <ul>. Also adds an icon for good measure.
