This hopefully addresses #5407 by gracefully handling an empty but
limited TimelineBatch. We also add some logging to figure out how this
is happening.
The `expire_access_token` didn't do what it sounded like it should do. What it
actually did was make Synapse enforce the 'time' caveat on macaroons used as
access tokens, but since our access token macaroons never contained such a
caveat, it was always a no-op.
(The code to add 'time' caveats was removed back in v0.18.5, in #1656)
`None` is not a valid event id, so queuing up a database fetch for it seems
like a silly thing to do.
I considered making `get_event` return `None` if `event_id is None`, but then
its interaction with `allow_none` seemed uninituitive, and strong typing ftw.
this is only used in one place, so it's clearer if we inline it and reduce the
API surface.
Also, fixes a buglet where we would create an access token even if we were
about to block the user (we would never return the AT, so the user could never
use it, but it was still created and added to the db.)
FederationDeniedError is a subclass of SynapseError, which is a subclass of
CodeMessageException, so if e is a FederationDeniedError, then this check for
FederationDeniedError will never be reached since it will be caught by the
check for CodeMessageException above. The check for CodeMessageException does
almost the same thing as this check (since FederationDeniedError initialises
with code=403 and msg="Federation denied with %s."), so may as well just keep
allowing it to handle this case.
Nothing uses this now, so we can remove the dead code, and clean up the
API.
Since we're changing the shape of the return value anyway, we take the
opportunity to give the method a better name.
When a user creates an account and the 'require_auth_for_profile_requests' config flag is set, and a client that performed the registration wants to lookup the newly-created profile, the request will be denied because the user doesn't share a room with themselves yet.
This has never been documented, and I'm not sure it's ever been used outside
sytest.
It's quite a lot of poorly-maintained code, so I'd like to get rid of it.
For now I haven't removed the database table; I suggest we leave that for a
future clearout.
