# The problem
There were many "path tricks":
* By default, Gitea uses its program directory as its work path
* Gitea tries to use the "work path" to guess its "custom path" and
"custom conf (app.ini)"
* Users might want to use other directories as work path
* The non-default work path should be passed to Gitea by GITEA_WORK_DIR
or "--work-path"
* But some Gitea processes are started without these values
* The "serv" process started by OpenSSH server
* The CLI sub-commands started by site admin
* The paths are guessed by SetCustomPathAndConf again and again
* The default values of "work path / custom path / custom conf" can be
changed when compiling
# The solution
* Use `InitWorkPathAndCommonConfig` to handle these path tricks, and use
test code to cover its behaviors.
* When Gitea's web server runs, write the WORK_PATH to "app.ini", this
value must be the most correct one, because if this value is not right,
users would find that the web UI doesn't work and then they should be
able to fix it.
* Then all other sub-commands can use the WORK_PATH in app.ini to
initialize their paths.
* By the way, when Gitea starts for git protocol, it shouldn't output
any log, otherwise the git protocol gets broken and client blocks
forever.
The "work path" priority is: WORK_PATH in app.ini > cmd arg --work-path
> env var GITEA_WORK_DIR > builtin default
The "app.ini" searching order is: cmd arg --config > cmd arg "work path
/ custom path" > env var "work path / custom path" > builtin default
## β οΈ BREAKING
If your instance's "work path / custom path / custom conf" doesn't meet
the requirements (eg: work path must be absolute), Gitea will report a
fatal error and exit. You need to set these values according to the
error log.

# β οΈ Breaking
Many deprecated queue config options are removed (actually, they should
have been removed in 1.18/1.19).
If you see the fatal message when starting Gitea: "Please update your
app.ini to remove deprecated config options", please follow the error
messages to remove these options from your app.ini.
Example:
```
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [F] Please update your app.ini to remove deprecated config options
```
Many options in `[queue]` are are dropped, including:
`WRAP_IF_NECESSARY`, `MAX_ATTEMPTS`, `TIMEOUT`, `WORKERS`,
`BLOCK_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_WORKERS`, they can be removed
from app.ini.
# The problem
The old queue package has some legacy problems:
* complexity: I doubt few people could tell how it works.
* maintainability: Too many channels and mutex/cond are mixed together,
too many different structs/interfaces depends each other.
* stability: due to the complexity & maintainability, sometimes there
are strange bugs and difficult to debug, and some code doesn't have test
(indeed some code is difficult to test because a lot of things are mixed
together).
* general applicability: although it is called "queue", its behavior is
not a well-known queue.
* scalability: it doesn't seem easy to make it work with a cluster
without breaking its behaviors.
It came from some very old code to "avoid breaking", however, its
technical debt is too heavy now. It's a good time to introduce a better
"queue" package.
# The new queue package
It keeps using old config and concept as much as possible.
* It only contains two major kinds of concepts:
* The "base queue": channel, levelqueue, redis
* They have the same abstraction, the same interface, and they are
tested by the same testing code.
* The "WokerPoolQueue", it uses the "base queue" to provide "worker
pool" function, calls the "handler" to process the data in the base
queue.
* The new code doesn't do "PushBack"
* Think about a queue with many workers, the "PushBack" can't guarantee
the order for re-queued unhandled items, so in new code it just does
"normal push"
* The new code doesn't do "pause/resume"
* The "pause/resume" was designed to handle some handler's failure: eg:
document indexer (elasticsearch) is down
* If a queue is paused for long time, either the producers blocks or the
new items are dropped.
* The new code doesn't do such "pause/resume" trick, it's not a common
queue's behavior and it doesn't help much.
* If there are unhandled items, the "push" function just blocks for a
few seconds and then re-queue them and retry.
* The new code doesn't do "worker booster"
* Gitea's queue's handlers are light functions, the cost is only the
go-routine, so it doesn't make sense to "boost" them.
* The new code only use "max worker number" to limit the concurrent
workers.
* The new "Push" never blocks forever
* Instead of creating more and more blocking goroutines, return an error
is more friendly to the server and to the end user.
There are more details in code comments: eg: the "Flush" problem, the
strange "code.index" hanging problem, the "immediate" queue problem.
Almost ready for review.
TODO:
* [x] add some necessary comments during review
* [x] add some more tests if necessary
* [x] update documents and config options
* [x] test max worker / active worker
* [x] re-run the CI tasks to see whether any test is flaky
* [x] improve the `handleOldLengthConfiguration` to provide more
friendly messages
* [x] fine tune default config values (eg: length?)
## Code coverage:
Replace #23350.
Refactor `setting.Database.UseMySQL` to
`setting.Database.Type.IsMySQL()`.
To avoid mismatching between `Type` and `UseXXX`.
This refactor can fix the bug mentioned in #23350, so it should be
backported.
Partially fix#23050
After #22294 merged, it always has a warning log like `cannot get
context cache` when starting up. This should not affect any real life
but it's annoying. This PR will fix the problem. That means when
starting up, getting the system settings will not try from the cache but
will read from the database directly.

This PR adds support to process incoming emails to perform actions.
Currently I added handling of replies and unsubscribing from
issues/pulls. In contrast to #13585 the IMAP IDLE command is used
instead of polling which results (in my opinion π) in cleaner code.
Procedure:
- When sending an issue/pull reply email, a token is generated which is
present in the Reply-To and References header.
- IMAP IDLE waits until a new email arrives
- The token tells which action should be performed
A possible signature and/or reply gets stripped from the content.
I added a new service to the drone pipeline to test the receiving of
incoming mails. If we keep this in, we may test our outgoing emails too
in future.

Follows: #19284
* The `CopyDir` is only used inside test code
* Rewrite `ToSnakeCase` with more test cases
* The `RedisCacher` only put strings into cache, here we use internal `toStr` to replace the legacy `ToStr`
* The `UniqueQueue` can use string as ID directly, no need to call `ToStr`
The GITEA_UNIT_TESTS_VERBOSE variable is an undocumented variable
introduced in 2017 (see 1028ef2def)
whose sole purpose has been to log SQL statements when running unit
tests.
It is renamed for clarity and a warning is displayed for backward
compatibility for people and scripts that know about it.
The documentation is updated to reflect this change.
This PR contains multiple fixes. The most important of which is:
* Prevent hang in git cat-file if the repository is not a valid repository
Unfortunately it appears that if git cat-file is run in an invalid
repository it will hang until stdin is closed. This will result in
deadlocked /pulls pages and dangling git cat-file calls if a broken
repository is tried to be reviewed or pulls exists for a broken
repository.
Fix#14734Fix#9271Fix#16113
Otherwise there are a few small other fixes included which this PR was initially intending to fix:
* Fix panic on partial compares due to missing PullRequestWorkInProgressPrefixes
* Fix links on pulls pages due to regression from #17551 - by making most /issues routes match /pulls too - Fix#17983
* Fix links on feeds pages due to another regression from #17551 but also fix issue with syncing tags - Fix#17943
* Add missing locale entries for oauth group claims
* Prevent NPEs if ColorFormat is called on nil users, repos or teams.
Running `make test-backend` will delete `data/` due to reloading the configuration and resetting the appdatapath.
This PR removes this unnecessary config reload but also adds extra code in to the unittest main to prevent its cleanup from deleting the wrong directory.

* Improve install code to avoid low-level mistakes.
If a user tries to do a re-install in a Gitea database, they gets a warning and double check.
When Gitea runs, it never create empty app.ini automatically.
Also some small (related) refactoring:
* Refactor db.InitEngine related logic make it more clean (especially for the install code)
* Move some i18n strings out from setting.go to make the setting.go can be easily maintained.
* Show errors in CLI code if an incorrect app.ini is used.
* APP_DATA_PATH is created when installing, and checked when starting (no empty directory is created any more).
