This commit ensures we have correct icon and title on mobile for the chat header icon.
It also fixes a bug where the site setting was not correctly used when the user has not yet set the user option.
Both cases are now correctly tested.
This commit was incorrectly removed of https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23078 and would set the state only on entering (or exiting) chat route. The tests were already present in the previous PR.
Not sure when we added this but it is no longer necessary,
hashtags are cooked appropriately when sending chat messages
and the mention transform was not used anywhere.
We were attempting to fetch from last read but this is actually complicated to get right when you have a lot unread, as we might still have more to load after this but the last unread id is still the same and would make the user end up in a loop.
Prior to this commit we were loading a large number of thread messages without any pagination. This commit attempts to fix this and also improves the following points:
- code sharing between channels and threads:
Attempts to reuse/share the code use in channels for threads. To make it possible part of this code has been extracted in dedicated helpers or has been improved to reduce the duplication needed.
Examples of extracted helpers:
- `stackingContextFix`: the ios hack for rendering bug when momentum scrolling is interrupted
- `scrollListToMessage`, `scrollListToTop`, `scrollListToBottom`: a series of helper to correctly scroll to a specific position in the list of messages
- better general performance of listing messages:
One of the main changes which has been made is to remove the computation of visible message during scroll, it will only happen when needed (update last read for example). This constant recomputation of `message.visible` on intersection observer event while scrolling was consuming a lot of CPU time.
Sharing a link in chat will create a onebox embed with a source that includes a site icon and title.
This change prevents loading the site icon into lightbox.

The above incorrectly removed the channel unread count in
the mobile/drawer channel list when the user has mentions
(meaning the unreads are urgent). This commit adds it
back and refactors system specs a little.
Define new concept of panels in sidebar. Panels are wrappers around sidebar sections. In the future, it allows creating full focus mode by switching between panels.
A new API method called addSidebarPanel was added. Default main panel is already registered and by default all API sections are mounted to main.
This commit fixes two issues with the thread list:
1. All threads were being shown regardless of whether the user had
a membership in the thread. This was happening because the list
and the channel share the same thread store, so if the channel
had OMs with threads we would load them and they showed in the list.
2. Threads created by the user from a staged thread would double up.
This is because the _cache in the channel threadsManager would use
the staged thread ID even after we'd replaced the object's ID with
the actual thread from the DB. The answer to this is to remove and
re-add the thread to the local cache with the actual ID.
* DEV: Fix and re-enable chat flakys
The early return in JS was added to prevent an error
from channel being null, and it's better to use known
users for the message fabrications in the specs.
* DEV: Use travel_to in drawer spec for thread tracking
Sometimes in the system test the datetime that is last
viewed for the channel for the user and the datetime for
the last message created_at is only microseconds of difference,
and we do not provide that level of fidelity in the MessageBus
serializer, so unreadThreadsCountSinceLastViewed is not
accurate.
Better to just utilize travel_to and move forward 1 minute in
time before sending the new message to easily differentiate.
When we have subscriptions for new messages in a channel,
we also have special handling for messages in a thread. For
cases like DM channels where threads are made in the background
but not used in the UI, this is causing JS errors because we
are trying to fetch the thread but it returns 404.
We only want to do things with messages in threads if the
channel actually has threading enabled.
On tablets like iPad where we allow channel and thread to be on the same screen, it was not possible to resize the panels due to code being thought for mouse events. This commit should now correctly allow for this.
The "resizer" has also been made larger to simplify touching.
No test as it's hard to test on iPad and dragging events are also complex.
On iOS we have a hack to prevent the viewport to move when focusing an input, however this code was targeting the textarea node through a global selector which is working fine on iOS as we only show one composer at a time but was failing on iPad as we show both channel and thread on the same screen. As a result `document.querySelector(".chat-composer__input")` was always targeting the first textarea on the screen which was the channel's composer, making it impossible to focus the thread's one.
This commit makes it so that when the user has unread threads
for a channel we show a blue dot in the sidebar (or channel index
for mobile/drawer).
This blue dot is slightly different from the channel unread messages:
1. It will only show if the new thread messages were created since
the user last viewed the channel
2. It will be cleared when the user views the channel, but the threads
are still considered unread because we want the user to click into
the thread list to view them
This necessitates a change to the current user serializer to also
include the unread thread overview, which is all unread threads
across all channels and their last reply date + time.
Prior to this change you might end up in a loop where removing a channel would redirect you to this channel and as we auto-follow opened direct message channels, you could never unfollow this last direct message channel.
Prior to this commit a long press on the image of a chat message would trigger both the actions menu and the contextual menu. This commit ensures we only show the contextual menu in this case.
No test as it's a quite complex behavior to reproduce (would need android for example).
This was causing this event to cause other touch events down the road. For example click a reaction above the composer when the message action was opened could cause the composer to gain focus after the reaction was made.
It could only occur on message created by the user itself and deleted while the user was looking at the channel.
It more generally fix the trash service which was not correctly setting the author of the delete.
`SiteSetting.enable_public_channels` allows site admin to decide if public channels are available at all. There's no distinction between admins or not as we expect admins to create private category channels if they want to limit usage.
Initial migration and changes to models as well as
changing the following services to update last_message_id:
* Chat::MessageCreator
* Chat::RestoreMessage
* Chat::TrashMessage
The data migration will set the `last_message_id` for all existing
threads and channels in the database.
When we query the thread list as well as the channel,
we look at the last message ID for the following:
* Channel - Sorting DM channels, and channel metadata for the list of channels
* Thread - Last reply details for thread indicators and thread list
It is now safe to render the message excerpt as HTML since
it is no longer using text_entities: true in the server
PrettyText.excerpt call when creating the message excerpt
from the cooked HTML.
This will fix the issue of things like mentions showing
HTML code instead of the actual mention when replying,
and cannot be used to inject improper HTML like style tags
via XSS.
* FEATURE: Inline topic summary. Cached version accessible to everyone.
Anons and non-members of the `custom_summarization_allowed_groups_map` groups can see cached summaries for any accessible topic. After the first 12 hours and if the posts to summarize have changed, allowed users clicking on the button will automatically re-generate it.
* Ensure chat summaries work and prevent model hallucinations when there are no messages.
Browser capabilities are inherently unconnected to the lifecycle of our app. Making them formally available outside of the service means that they can safely be used in non-app-linked functions without needing risky hacks like `helperContext()` or `discourse-common/lib/get-owner`.
One example of where the old hacks were problematic is the `translateModKey()` utility function. This is called in the root of the `discourse/components/modal/keyboard-shortcuts-help` es6 module. If anything (e.g. a theme/plugin) caused that es6 module to be `require()`d before the application was booted, a fatal error would occur.
Following this commit, `translateModKey()` can safely import and access `capabilities` without needing to worry about the app lifecycle.
The only potential downside to this approach is that the capabilities data now persists across tests. If any tests need to 'stub' capabilities, they will need to revert their changes at the end of the test (e.g. by using Sinon to stub a property).
This commit also updates some legacy references from `capabilities:main` to `service:capabilities`.
This implementation will need more work in the future. For simplification of tracking and other events (new thread, delete/restore OM...) we used the threads from `threadsManager` which makes pagination more complicated as we already have some results when we start.
Note this commit also simplify `Collection` to only have one `load` method which can be called repeatedly.
Trying to fix two issues:
1. Sometimes the publish_new! event for update_thread_original_message
finishes running on the UI before the one for thread_created, in this
case we just want to do nothing because thread_created will fetch the
new thread along with its preview from the server if needed
2. Sometimes the thread GET and /read events were erroring because
last_reply on the thread was nil, this was potentially occuring because
the thread_created event was coming through to the UI before the rest
of MessageCreator was done, so we just move that after the big update
to set thread_id for the new and existing messages in the reply
chain
This commit also standardize the naming pattern of modals: `<Chat::Modal::FooBar />` and changes css class accordingly.
Co-authored-by: David Taylor <david@taylorhq.com>
It's way more common to have presence enabled than disabled, so we should have been making it the default from start.
This commit also changes the namespace of `<ChatUserAvatar />` into `<Chat::UserAvatar />` and refactors tests.
Sadly this function is one of the very hard to test codepaths of the app. We could in the future attempt to extract the content of the function to unit-test it.
When a user sends their first message in a thread we
automatically track the thread in the backend, but we
don't reflect this in the UI until the user re-opens
the thread. This commit fixes that by showing the new
tracking level in the UI.
Chat drawer was using the `DiscourseURL` hook `afterRouteComplete`. This hook suffer from a very poor implementation which makes it very unreliable:
```javascript
if (typeof opts.afterRouteComplete === "function") {
schedule("afterRender", opts.afterRouteComplete);
}
```
This commit attempts to return the promise from `handleURL` to directly use it and have a very reliable after transition hook.
In previous changes we prevented creating a channel to also make users follow the channel. We were forcing recipients to follow the channel on message sent but this was not including the creator of the message itself.
This commit fixes it and also write an end-to-end system spec to cover these cases. The message creator service is currently being rewritten and should correctly test and ensure this logic is present.
This commit also makes changes on the frontend to instantly follow a DM when you open it, this change prevents a green dot to appear for a split second when you send a message in a channel you were previously not following. Only recipients will see the green dot.
Followup to 802fb3b194
We should not hide the replies count if there is only 1 participant
for a thread, because this makes it look like the last reply is the
only reply.
This introduces a PLATFORM_KEY_MODIFIER const that
can be used both client and server side, to determine
whether we should be using the Meta or Ctrl key based
on whether the user is on Windows/Linux or Mac.
Why this change?
Before this commit, there is a chance that we will transition the user
to a different route if the chat thread component has been destroyed
prior to the request for fetching messasges in a chat thread returning.
This commit makes it such that we simply ignore the request if the chat
thread component has been destroyed.
We believe this is the cause of the flaky system tests in plugins/chat/spec/system/navigation_spec.rb
which we've been seeing on CI.
This commit includes several fixes and improvements to thread
original message handling:
1. When a thread's original message is deleted, the thread no longer
counts as unread for a user
2. When a thread original message is deleted and the user is looking
at the thread list, it will be removed from the list
3. When a thread original message is restored and the user is looking
at the thread list, it will be added back to the list if it was
previously loaded
- Presence needs to be explicitly set on the component now
- We were not checking and testing correctly the presence of the unread indicator in the menu
This commit replaces two existing screens:
- draft
- channel selection modal
Main features compared to existing solutions
- features are now combined, meaning you can for example create multi users DM
- it will show users with chat disabled
- it shows unread state
- hopefully a better look/feel
- lots of small details and fixes...
Other noticeable fixes
- starting a DM with a user, even from the user card and clicking <kbd>Chat</kbd> will not show a green dot for the target user (or even the channel) until a message is actually sent
- it should almost never do a full page reload anymore

* DEV: Fix flaky thread nav spec
When we transitioned from the chat thread panel under some conditions
the request for the thread would come back and realise the component
was destroyed, which was trying to do a transition to the channel
itself.
Now we check for the previous route here too and transition to the
correct route.
* DEV: Fix chat transcript spec relying on animation
The on-animation-end modifier is not reliable in system specs
because it fires instantly (we have disabled capybara animations)
so the showCopySuccess boolean can be mutated back to false straight
away.
Better to have a separate boolean tracked with a data-attr that we
can reliably inspect in the system spec.
- Inline mentions on posts
- Inline mentions on chat messages
- The user autocomplete for the composer
- The user autocomplete for chat
- The chat section of the sidebar
This will be used when we move the channel creation for DMs
to happen when we first send a message in a DM channel to avoid
a double-request. For now we can just have a new API endpoint
for creating this that the existing frontend code can use,
that uses the new service pattern.
This also uses the new policy pattern for services where the policy
can be defined in a class so a more dynamic reason for the policy
failing can be sent to the controller.

Enabling/Disabling threading has been possible through command line until now. This commit introduces two new UIs:
- When creating a channel, it will be available once the category has been selected
- On the settings page of a channel for admins
Addressing TODO about using chatApi in the ChatChannel model,
but since it's a model we cannot easily use the chatApi service.
The model function is only called in one place so we may as well
just move the call there since the component can use chatApi
* FEATURE: Sort thread list by unread threads first
This commit changes the thread list to show the threads that
have unread messages at the top of the list sorted by the
last reply date + time, then all other threads sorted by
last reply date + time.
This also fixes some issues by removing the last_reply
relationship on the thread, which did not work for complex
querying scenarios because its order would be discarded.
* FIX: Various fixes for thread list loading
* Use the channel.threadsManager and find the channel first rather
than use activeChannel in the threads manager, otherwise we may
be looking at differenct channels.
* Look at threadsManager directly instead of storing result for threads
list otherwise it can get out of sync because of replace: true in
other places we are loading threads into the store.
* Fix sorting for thread.last_reply, needed a resort.
When clicking back from a thread, we want to either go back to the
channel if the thread was opened from an indicator, or to the thread
list if we opened it from there. Since ember doesn't give a nice way
to get the previous route, we need to store this ourselves. We only
do this on mobile, on desktop we just follow existing behaviour.
Also implements a chat router history.

- gridified the thread message indicator, alleviating some problems with positioning and overflow
participant avatars will overlap/smush on smaller size and mobile
- the excerpt went from 3 > 2 lines of wrapping on smaller size, still 1 line on large size
- dropped the copy of "last reply"
- fixed wrong line height
- moved the "x replies" over to the right near the participants, as that makes more sense
- using a bubble to indicate other participants, instead of copy
This PR introduces the @container query, which is experimental. Nothing will break when it's being viewed in a not-supported browser, but it will be less elegant.
To export chat messages, go to `/admin/plugins/chat` and click the Create export
button in the _Export chat messages_ section. You'll receive a direct message
when the export is finished.
Currently, this exports all messages from the last 6 months, but not more than
10000 messages.
This exports all chat messages, including messages from private channels and
users' direct conversations. This also exports messages that were deleted.
This should prevent the message to show as active on mobile when making a touch to start scrolling.
This commit also makes naming of touch lifecycle functions coherent.
This PR adds a new parameter to fetch chat messages: `target_date`.
It can be used to fetch messages by a specific date string. Note that it does not need to be the `created_at` date of an existing message, it can be any date. Similar to `target_message_id`, it retrieves an array of past and future messages following the query limits.
This commit adds an aria-label attribute to cooked hashtags using
the post/chat message decorateCooked functionality. I have just used
the inner content of the hashtag (the tag/category/channel name) for
the label -- we can reexamine at some point if we want something
different like "Link to dev category" or something, but from what I
can tell things like Twitter don't even have aria-labels for hashtags
so the text would be read out directly.
This commit also refactors any ruby specs checking the HTML of hashtags
to use rspec-html-matchers which is far clearer than having to maintain
the HTML structure in a HEREDOC for comparison, and gives better spec
failures.

- Moves `<ChatMessageInfo />` to `<Chat::Message::Info />`
- Moves `<ChatMessageAvatar />` to `<Chat::Message::Avatar />`
- Moves `<ChatMessageLeftGutter />` to `<Chat::Message::LeftGutter />`, adds tests

- Creates `<Chat::Message::MentionWarning />`, adds tests and a styleguide
- Creates a model for ChatMessageMentionWarning, adds fabricator for it
- Keeps the enter/leave viewport logic inside the `<ChatMessage />` component instead of bubbling it to the channel and thread components
- Adds a scale animation when clicking a reaction
- Creates `chat/later-fn` modifier which accepts a function and a delay. It allows to call a function Xms after a component has been inserted, it's useful for animations.

- Deletes unused code
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
The layout was broken for messages replying to another message in non threaded channels.
This commit also refactors the chat-message-test to use fabricators.
- FIX: improves reactions and thread indicator touch event on mobile
These "buttons" are located inside a scroll list which makes them very specific. The general idea is to ensure these events are passive and are not bubbling to the parent.
- DEV: moves state on top level message node
- FIX: ensures popover arrow has the correct border
- FIX: makes a message expanded by default
- FIX applies the same ios scroll fix on thread and channel
- UI: better active/hover state for thread indicator
- UI: attempts to follow more closely our BEM naming scheme
- FIX: reduces bottom padding on message with thread indicator and user info hidden
- UI: add padding for first message in thread
- FIX: prevents actions backdrop to open thread
- UI: makes thread indicator resizable
This commit adds a tracking dropdown to each individual thread, similar to topics,
that allows the user to change the notification level for a thread manually. Previously
the user had to reply to a thread to track it and see unread indicators.
Since the user can now manually track threads, the thread index has also been changed
to only show threads that the user is a member of, rather than threads that they had sent
messages in.
Unread indicators also respect the notification level -- Normal level thread tracking
will not show unread indicators in the UI when new messages are sent in the thread.
The events leading to this mistake are unclear but we decided few months ago to make direct messages NOT flaggable and even wrote a spec for this, when we actually support flagging of direct messages.
This commit ensures it will show for direct messages channels and inverses the existing spec.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/updating-our-initializer-naming-patterns/241919
For historical reasons, Discourse has different initializers conventions than standard Ember:
```
| Ember | Discourse | |
| initializers | pre-initializers | runs once per app load |
| instance-initializers | (api-)initializers | runs once per app boot |
```
In addition, the arguments to the initialize function is different – Ember initializers get either the `Application` or `ApplicationInstance` as the only argument, but the "Discourse style" gets an extra container argument preceding that.
This is confusing, but it also causes problems with Ember addons, which expects the standard naming and argument conventions:
1. Typically, V1 addons will define their (app, instance) initializers in the `addon/(instance-)initializers/*`, which appears as `ember-some-addon-package-name/(instance-)initializers/*` in the require registry.
2. Just having those modules defined isn't supposed to do anything, so typically they also re-export them in `app/(instance-)initializers/*`, which gets merged into `discourse/(instance-)initializers/*` in the require registry.
3. The `ember-cli-load-initializers` package supplies a function called `loadInitializers`, which typically gets called in `app.js` to load the initializers according to the conventions above. Since we don't follow the same conventions, we can't use this function and instead have custom code in `app.js`, loosely based on official version but attempts to account for the different conventions.
The custom code that loads initializers is written with Discourse core and plug-ins/themes in mind, but does not take into account the fact that addons can also bring initializers, which causes the following problems:
* It does not check for the `discourse/` module prefix, so initializers in the `addon/` folders (point 1 above) get picked up as well. This means the initializer code is probably registered twice (once from the `addon/` folder, once from the `app/` re-export). This either causes a dev mode assertion (if they have the same name) or causes the code to run twice (if they have different names somehow).
* In modern Ember blueprints, it is customary to omit the `"name"` of the initializer since `ember-cli-load-initializers` can infer it from the module name. Our custom code does not do this and causes a dev mode assertion instead.
* It runs what then addon intends to be application initializers as instance initializers due to the naming difference. There is at least one known case of this where the `ember-export-application-global` application initialize is currently incorrectly registered as an instance initializer. (It happens to not use the `/addon` folder convention and explicitly names the initializer, so it does not trigger the previous error scenarios.)
* It runs the initializers with the wrong arguments. If all the addon initializer does is lookup stuff from the container, it happens to work, otherwise... ???
* It does not check for the `/instance-initializers/` module path so any instance initializers introduced by addons are silently ignored.
These issues were discovered when trying to install an addon that brings an application initializer in #22023.
To resolve these issues, this commit:
* Migrates Discourse core to use the standard Ember conventions – both in the naming and the arguments of the initialize function
* Updates the custom code for loading initializers:
* For Discourse core, it essentially does the same thing as `ember-cli-load-initializers`
* For plugins and themes, it preserves the existing Discourse conventions and semantics (to be revisited at a later time)
This ensures that going forward, Ember addons will function correctly.
This commit fixes the selection of message in threads and also applies various refactorings
- improves specs and especially page objects/components
- makes the channel/thread panes responsible of the state
- adds an animationend modifier
- continues to follow the logic of "state" should be displayed as data attributes on component by having a new `data-selected` attribute on chat messages
This commit adds the initial part of thread indicator improvements:
* Show the reply count, last reply date and excerpt,
and the participants of the thread's avatars and
count of additional participants
* Add a participants component for the thread that
can be reused for the list
* Add a query class to get the thread participants
* Live update the thread indicator more consistently
with the last reply and participant details
image image
In subsequent PRs we will cache the participants since
they do not change often, and improve the thread list
further with participants.
This commit also adds a showPresence boolean (default
true) to ChatUserAvatar, since we don't want to show the
online indicator for thread participants.

* FEATURE: Content custom summarization strategies.
This PR establishes a pattern for plugins to register alternative ways of summarizing content by extending a class that defines an interface.
Core controls which strategy we'll use and who has access to it through the `summarization_strategy` and `custom_summarization_allowed_groups`. It also defines the UI for summarizing topics.
Other plugins can access this summarization mechanism and implement their features, removing cross-plugin customizations, as it currently happens between chat and the discourse-ai plugin.
* Group membership validation and rate limiting
* Work with objects instead of classes
* Port summarization feature from discourse-ai to chat
* Rename available summaries to 'Top Replies' and 'Summary'
* move the chat unread indicator to top to match the profile avatar indicator
* add white border to profile avatar indicator (badge notification) to match chat indicator and userstatus styling
* change `.urgent` to BEM
* congregate all styling into mixin
* update chat index to use mixin
* update thread indicator to use mixin
* update header indicator to use mixin

This is actually making things more sluggish than necessary. If any perf issue happen out of this they should be handled in the consequences of the resizing, not the resizing itself.
Currently navigating a long topic and then opening chat would cause the view to be scrolled to the bottom. Using `scrollTop` here ensures we correctly scroll to top.
This had been incorrectly moved into `deactivate` during another change.
* FIX: increases resize observer throttle delay
25ms is not necessary and was sometimes causing jankyness.
* FIX: removes ios momentum fix delay
Instead of a 50ms, simply use next+schedule("afterRender") to attempt to have the shortest delay possible.
* FIX: backdrop event propagation
Prevents backdrop touch to propagate to underlying channel/thread.
* UX: adds is-active class to container of active message
This change allows to keep the background on the active message while the actions menu is displayed.
* FIX: prevents skip-link to be selected on press
* UX: allows to close actions menu instantly
The backdrop should always receive events, we don't need to wait for the menu to be fully displayed.
* UI: adds spacing between last message and composer
* UI: makes backdrop less dark
* FIX: makes events passive on long-press modifier
We have been struggling a lot on this lately as it's almost impossible to write a decent test for this.
The important things which need to happen:
- fetch the unread/mention state and last message bus channel ids of each chat channels
- stop all subscriptions
- restart global chat subscriptions
- update channels with new state and ensure the message bus ids are updated
- restart subscriptions of each chat channel
As a followup we need to start implementing a standard way to query for a resource state. Something similar to: `/channels/tracking` and `/channels/:id/tracking`
Each of these endpoints would return a state similar to:
```json
{
tracking: { ... },
message_bus_ids: { ... }
}
Removing a reaction could start a long press at the same time and put the screen in a stuck state.
This commit ensures we give an opportunity to the reaction to capture the event first and not propagate further.
This commit attempts to have a bullet proof solution to the following case:
- long press on message (finger is still pressed)
- menu appears
- a button is now at finger location
- user releases finger
- a click is triggered on the button
Classic event canceling solution won't work here for performance reasons as we need the event to be passive in a scroll list.
In some cases, plugins may want to hide some of these actions
at all times, overriding the rules for canX with hiding these
buttons. To achieve this, a plugin can call the API
`removeChatComposerSecondaryButtons` and pass the list of button
IDs that should be removed as argument, like the example below:
```
withPluginApi("1.2.0", (api) => {
api.removeChatComposerSecondaryActions("copyLink", "select");
});
```

When editing a message, we call `message.cook()` in the beginning of
`#sendEditMessage` methods, but when sending a new message,
the call to `message.cook()` is hidden in the `stageMessage` method.
We can just call `message.cook()` before sending the message, no matter
whether this is a new message or an edited message.
No test as this is very much a hack while lightbox is being revamped. We currently have no good/easy way AFAIK to stop event propagation on escape in magnificpopup.
This behavior has been possible for a long time and has been made more in recent commits. On PWA iOS when release the touch after the mobile actions menu has been shown, if the finger was over one of the buttons of the menu, it would trigger a click.
This commit should now correctly trap and cancel events.
The following case would create the perception of a broken back button on desktop:
- open discourse on home page
- click chat button in header
- hit back button
- observes that we are still on the channel didn't navigate to homepage as we would have expected
The back button is actually working but it's in a loop. We were doing a `transitionTo` after finding the ideal channel to show, so the browser history would look something like this:
- home
- chat index
- channel page
When hitting back, we would go to chat index which would run the same logic and transition us to channel page.
This change will use `replaceWith` to replace the chat index step by the channel step, this way our history will now look like this:
- home
- channel page
Hitting back will now correctly bring us to home.
This commit attempts to refactor our long press logic to make it more resilient and precise.
With this improvement two very UX/UI changes have been made:
- scale animation on long press
- prevents click on reaction to propagate to the message which would cause the active state of the message to trigger
Followup to e6c6c342d9,
we missed one part of this refactor which was to give
the correct composer element reference to ChatComposerUploads.
Without this the pasteEventListener for uploads was not
bound so uploading via paste did not work.
I tried to test this, and though I can write binary/text to
the clipboard and paste it into the composer, it does not
seem to be possible to end up with a paste event that
has clipboardData.files filled in, which is what is used
for the uploads. I think this is a restriction of JS
generally, and there doesn't seem to be a way to work around
it, so unfortunately we have to have no test for this still.
This commit contains multiple changes to improve the composer behavior especially in the context of a thread:
- Generally rename anything of the form `chatChannelThread...` to `chatThread...``
- Moves the textarea interactor instance inside the composer server
- Improves the focus state and closing of panel related to the use of the Escape shortcut
- Creates `Chat::ThreadList` as a component instead of having `Chat::Thread::ListItem` and others which could imply they were children of a the `Chat::Thread` component
Previously, there was an issue where closing the message actions menu on mobile would unintentionally trigger a click event on an element below it, such as a thread indicator or a reaction. With the recent fix, this problem has been resolved. Now, when you close the menu, it will no longer interfere with or activate any elements positioned underneath it.
One user can create a post or chat message with a hashtag they
have permission to use, but then when other users look at that
post they will see an empty space next to the hashtag because they
do not have the permission to load the colors in CSS classes for
the related category.
This fixes the issue by adding a default color with a special
CSS class if the user doesn't have permission to see the linked
channel/category on the hashtag.
Few weeks ago we implemented `onPresenceChangeCallback` to re-sync chat channels state when going back to a long time inactive tab. This codepath however contained a bug as we were reseting all subscriptions but only restarting global subscriptions and not per channel subscriptions.
This commit should correctly ensure we correctly do so. It's sadly very hard to test time related changes in system specs.

When a user type a message with mentions, the autocomplete popup
may suggest users or groups. We were adding all these object to
the `currentMessage.mentionedUsers` collection, while we should
have been adding only users. A group added to that collection led to
the error later when trying to update user status on mentions.
This will make it simpler to work with this code. This also can make this code more stable and increase stability of our test suite.
Cooked message now will be available immediately after cooking, it wasn't the case before:
await message.cook();
const cooked = message.cooked;
This also removes a call to `message.cook()` from message fabricator. Alternatively we may leave the call there and make the fabricator function async, but I fill it's better this way. If someone needs to test something related to cooked message, they can either pass cooked text to fabricator:
message = fabricators.message({ cooked: "<p>cooked</p>" });
or call `message.cook()` after fabrication:
message = fabricators.message({ message: "raw message" });
await message.cook()
- Made the emoji btn blue when composer is focused
- Moved everything chat-composer-button to its own file and BEM-ified it and making the choice to only work with our own is-disabled definition instead of with the attribute :disabled, for consistency
If the drawer receives an unexpected route, attempt to show the index. This is probably a more serious issue with subfolder but should limit the effects.
We were calling reset without the proper params which was causing errors in the console. This commit does the following changes:
- ensures `composer.cancel()` is the only way to cancel editing/reply
- adds a `draftSaved` property to chat message to allow for better tests
- writes a spec to ensure the flow is correct
- adds more page objects for better tests
- homogenize the default state of objects on chat message

Editing a message to an empty string and sending it, will delete it.
This commit also refactors a lot of channel/thread composer shortcuts specs.
---
This commit also includes various spec fixes which have been flakey while finishing this pull request.
This changes the thread header positioning of the
unread indicator to match the designs based on the route:
1. When the channel is open, show the indicator of # unread
threads with the icon
2. When the threads list is open, show no indicator since
you are on the list and can see which threads are unread
3. When a single thread is open, show the unread threads
indicator along with a left < back button, with a label
to show that this goes back to ongoing discussions
Drawer changes to come in another PR.
This commit introduces a couple of changes:
1. When editing a chat channel's slug, we were using `this.model.set("title", title)` when the `set`
function does not exist. This was actually throwing the error in the
"can edit slug" system test where the modal was not closed after
saving and was flashing an error.
2. Introduce `PageObjects::Pages::ChatChannelAbout` and
`PageObjects::Modals::ChatChannelEdit` page object to encapsulate
logic better.
When a thread is created / a new message is created in the
thread, we want to make sure that the original message user
has a membership for that thread, otherwise they will not
receive unread indicators for messages in the thread.
This commit attempts to fix the case where the messages loaded initially don't fill the screen. It would prevent user to scroll and as a result to load more.
There are multiple fixes in this commit:
- the main fix is removing this code which was preventing the actual fill:
```javascript
// prevents an edge case where user clicks bottom arrow
// just after scrolling to top
if (loadingPast && this.#isAtBottom()) {
return;
}
```
- ensures we always give a page site to the `chatApi.channel(...)` call if we have one, in the current state when `fetchFromLastRead` was `true` we would not set `args.page_size`
- ensures the `query_paginated_messages` is having a valid page size, which is not nil and not > `MAX_PAGE_SIZE`
- write a spec for the autofill, it was a challenging spec to write but it should give us the confidence we need here
Since 5cce829 and the new
channel view builder, we have no need of these obsolete
routes which have way too much logic in the controller, which
has been superseded by the view builder anyway.
Remove the routes and update the channel message loading to use it.
* Moved the settings cog from thread list to thread and
put it in a new header component
* Remove thread original message component, no longer needed
and the list item and thread indicator styles/content
will be quite different
* Start adding content (unread indicator etc.) to the thread
list item and changing structure to be more like designs
* Serialize the last thread reply when opening the thread index,
show in list and update with message bus
In some cases activeChannel can be null so this will error,
also it is limiting to have this code in chatApi. Instead
move to the threads manager, and also lean on channelsManager.find
to get the channel from the cache instead, which will not error.
The current behavior is to close drawer when pressing escape inside the input.
After this change, first escape will blur the input, and second escape will close the drawer.
This commit also refactors the whole shortcuts for drawer system spec.
#### FIX: Do not use client lastReadMessageId when fetching channel messages
We had an issue where the following happened:
1. User opened channel and saw the last message, and we set the
lastReadMessageId on the server and the client
2. User navigated to another channel
3. Another user deleted the message in the original channel
4. The first user navigated back to the original channel before
the MessageBus event for the deleted message arrived, and got
a 404 error because we were sending the deleted lastReadMessageId as
target_message_id to the channel controller.
Instead of this which is a bit flaky and is hard to cover all
the issues for, instead we can pass a fetch_from_last_read boolean
param to the channels controller, and just get the user's
last_read_message_id straight from the database to use for the
target_message_id. This gets rid of any sources of race conditions
or lack of updates from MessageBus.
#### FIX: Include missing memberships for thread tracking publish
When we publish the channel/message tracking state for a
user and that message was a thread reply the publisher
was erroring because we were not telling Chat::TrackingStateReportQuery
to return missing memberships (which have zeroed out unread counts)
as well, which is what we do for the channel tracking state here.
Also just make sure that the TrackingStateReport does not error
when passed an ID it doesn't have data for.
This commit follows up b6c5a2da08
by serializing the user's thread memberships in these cases:
1. When we do the initial channel fetch with messages, we get
all threads and all the user's thread memberships for those
messages.
2. When the thread list is fetched, we get all the user's memberships
in that list.
3. When the single thread is fetched, either from opening it from
the list, an OM indicator, or just from doing .find() on the
manager when a new MessageBus message comes in
This will let us track the lastReadMessageId on the client, and
will also let us fix an issue where the unread indicator in the
channel header was incrementing for every thread that got a
new message, regardless of whether the user was a member.
This commit adds the thread index and individual thread
in the index list unread indicators, and wires up the message
bus events to mark the threads as read/unread when:
1. People send a new message in the thread
2. The user marks a thread as read
There are several hacky parts and TODOs to cover before
this is more functional:
1. We need to flesh out the thread scrolling and message
visibility behaviour. Currently if you scroll to the end
of the thread it will just mark the whole thread read
unconditionally.
2. We need to send down the thread current user membership
along with the last read message ID to the client and
update that with read state.
3. We need to handle the sidebar unread dot for when threads
are unread in the channel and clear it based on when the
channel was last viewed.
4. We need to show some indicator of thread unreads on the
thread indicators on original messages.
5. UI improvements to make the experience nicer and more
like the actual design rather than just placeholders.
But, the basic premise around incrementing/decrementing the
thread overview count and showing which thread is unread
in the list is working as intended.
This commit regroups 3 changes
- serializes channel ID and json draft when calling the debouncer instead of inside the debounced function, it seems very unlikely to happen, but in a case where the debouncing wouldn't be canceled and the new message not set yet, we could save the draft on an invalid channel
- cancel persist draft handler when changing channel
- ensures we exit early when channel is not set
Very fast or specific mouse moves could allow to leave a message actions menu without reseting the active message. This commit should ensure we correctly catch this event.
No test as it's hard and not reliable to reproduce these in a test.
This should also make `message_notifications_with_sidebar_spec.rb` more resilient as we are now checking for `is-persisted` class instead of checking for the absence of `is-staged`.
This commit attempts to correctly change draft when the channel changes. It moves responsibility to the composer instead of the channel.
A new service `chatDraftsManager` is being introduced here to allow finer control and pave the way for future thread draft support.
These changes also now allow an editing message to be stored as a draft.
This PR adds status to mentions in chat and makes those mentions receive live updates.
There are known unfinished part in this implementation: when posting a message, status on mentions on that message appears immediately, but only if a user used autocomplete when typing the message. If user copy and paste a message with mentions into chat composer, those mentions won't have user status on them.
PRs with fixes for both problems are following soon.
Preparations for this PR that were made previously include:
- DEV: correct a relationship – a chat message may have several mentions 0dcfd7ddec
- DEV: extract the logic for extracting and expanding mentions from ChatNotifier 75b81b6854
- DEV: Always create chat mention records fa543cda06
- DEV: better split create_notification! and send_notifications logic e292c45924
- DEV: more tests for mentions when updating chat messages e7292e1682
- DEV: extract updating status on mentions into a lib function e49d338c21
- DEV: Create and update chat message mentions earlier 35a414bb38
- DEV: Create a chat_mention record when self mentioning 2703f2311a
- DEV: When deleting a chat message, do not delete mention records f4fde4e49b
Followup ae3231e140, when a
message is trashed we already update the lastReadMessageId of
all users in the channel to the latest non-deleted message on
the server side. However we didn't propagate this to the client,
so in some cases when we did the following:
1. Delete the last message in the channel
2. Switch to another channel
3. Switch back to the original
We would get a 404 error from the target message ID being looked
up still being the old lastReadMessageId (now deleted) for the
user's channel membership.
All we need to do is send the last not-deleted message ID for
the channel (or thread) to all the member users.
Before this commit the following actions would have shown the issue:
- visit a thread
- changes the width of the side panel
- open threads list
- the size has reverted to previous state
This was caused by the width change to not correctly be tracked.
It easier to check for presence in this case that to check for something not present, as depending on performance of the machine running the test this could take sometime to be changed and the test would fail.
This issue was especially visible in tests. the `@debounce(100)` was not cancelled when changing channel which was causing 404s as we were trying to load messages on a channel which was deleted as the channel has been destroyed at the end of the test.
This is still not a perfect solution, as we can only cancel the start of `fetchMessages`, but we can't cancel the actual `chatApi.channel` request which result can potentially happens after channel changed, which we try to mitigate with various checks on to ensure visible channel == loaded messages channel.
This commit also tries to make handler naming and cancelling more consistent.

This commit makes it easier to ensure each button have a similar behavior: hover, disabled, focus...
It also removes some dead code (__inline-button) and fixes a bug where the emoji button didnt have the right un-focused color (it was more visible than it should.
This commit makes some fundamental changes to how hashtag cooking and
icon generation works in the new experimental hashtag autocomplete mode.
Previously we cooked the appropriate SVG icon with the cooked hashtag,
though this has proved inflexible especially for theming purposes.
Instead, we now cook a data-ID attribute with the hashtag and add a new
span as an icon placeholder. This is replaced on the client side with an
icon (or a square span in the case of categories) on the client side via
the decorateCooked API for posts and chat messages.
This client side logic uses the generated hashtag, category, and channel
CSS classes added in a previous commit.
This is missing changes to the sidebar to use the new generated CSS
classes and also colors and the split square for categories in the
hashtag autocomplete menu -- I will tackle this in a separate PR so it
is clearer.
- few improved alignments
- displays emoji picker button inline on desktop
- keeps composer focused when focusing dropdown button
- align buttons to bottom when increasing height of textarea
- max-height of textarea is now linked to the height of the screen

This commit moves message lookup and querying to the
/chat/api/channel/:id endpoint and adds the ability
to query the tracking state overview for threads as well
as the threads and thread tracking state for any thread
original messages found.
This will allow us to get an initial overview of thread
tracking for a user when they first enter a channel, rather
than pre-emptively loading N threads and tracking state
for those across all channels on the current user serializer,
which would be expensive.
This initial overview will be used in subsequent PRs to
flesh out the thread unread indicators in the UI.
This also moves many chunks of code that were in services
to reusable Query classes, since use of services inside
services is discouraged.
Wrap scroll to bottom inside a next block to ensure the message has correctly been added to the array before actually attempt to scroll.
This commit also removes an unnecessary line which was essentially adding the message two times with no real consequences as we are uniq on ID.
- uses current user as user for fabricators, allows for correct avatar image and presence indicator
- uses a non existing channel ID to avoid setting a draft of an existing channel
- attempts to make color toggle more reliable
- Improves styleguide support
- Adds toggle color scheme to styleguide
- Adds properties mutators to styleguide
- Attempts to quit a session as soon as done with it in system specs, this should at least free resources faster
- Refactors fabricators to simplify them
- Adds more fabricators (uploads for example)
- Starts implementing components pattern in system specs
- Uses Chat::Message creator to create messages in system specs, this should help to have more real specs as the side effects should now happen
Followup from 9953a6edd9,
which broke an issue fixed in e8d6277062.
In the refactor we did not update the place where we resync
channel tracking based on onPresenceChange to use the new
tracking object we added to the serializer, and to directly
update channel.tracking
This is only the first steps of a redesign
- redesigns the buttons to have a larger hitzone
- generally bigger composer
- clicking near textarea focuses the input
- relies on the fact that safe-area-inset-bottom is set globally and doesn’t need to be set in sub components
This moves chat tracking state calculation for channels
and threads into a central Chat::TrackingStateManager service, that
serves a similar purpose to the TopicTrackingState model
in core.
This service calls down to these query classes:
* ThreadUnreadsQuery
* ChannelUnreadsQuery
To get the unread_count and mention_count for the appropriate
channels and threads.
As well as this, this commit refactors the client-side chat
tracking state.
Now, there is a central ChatTrackingStateManager Ember Service
so all tracking is accessible and can be counted from one place,
which can also initialize tracking from an initial payload.
The actual tracking counts are now maintained in a ChatTrackingState
class that is initialized on the `.tracking` property of both channel and
thread objects.
This removes the attributes on UserChatChannelMembership and decoration
of said membership from ChannelFetcher, preferring instead to have an additional
object for tracking in the JSON.
* DEV: add new thread icon
* FIX: Use new thread icon, fix typo in SVG
UX: move the thread list icon to the right of
the collapse button

Before this commit chat was applying a fixed height on everything under the `/chat` route. It's only really needed on the channel page with the composer at the bottom of the page.
This commits makes the following changes:
- moves height limitation from `#main-outlet-wrapper` to `.chat-channel`
- makes browse channel page and members list page full height and rely on main document scrollbar
- adds height computation for draft header and direct message creator block to ensure the height is correct when creating a draft channel
- makes chat index full height to rely on the browser scrollbar. As a result the <kbd> + </kbd> button used on mobile to create a direct message as been moved out of `<ChannelsList>` into the chat index template
- sidebar height was relying on chat setting a max height, as a result the height computation of sidebar has been changed to work correctly, especially with an opened keyboard on mobile or ipad
Hard to write a test for this behavior, this is a micro optimisation which doesn’t change the behavior but only makes it smoother by happening right before async request.
When using `navigator.virtualKeyboard.overlaysContent = false` we can rely on using only the resize event. Also attempts to no over trigger `setProperty` when value didn't change.
This issue was for example possibly causing the last visit indicator to be reset by `sent` messages events.
The following was happening:
- a user (bob) had a last message bus ID of 1 on a channel (id:1) subscription
- bob then go to another channel (id:2), unsubscribing from updates of channel (id:1)
- another user (laura) then send messages to channel (id:1)
- bob goes back to channel (id:1)
At this point we we doing in the same sequence:
- loading channel with messages, getting a new last message bus id
- subscribing to updates using the last known message bus id
Most of the times we were lucky enough for this to work (no events while away, or just got the new id in time...) but it was also very likely to do a double fetch of messages as MessageBus would think we were late.
This commit fixes the shift+click multi selection in threads. We were not correctly using the manager of the message and would attempt to find messages in the channel instead of the thread.
The `activeThread` was also not correctly set sometimes.
Also adds tests for message selection in threads.
We were combining both solutions which was apparently causing issues from chrome 113 on Android at least.
The commit will now use `geometrychange` (android) only when available and fallback to `visualViewport` otherwise (iOS).
This feature adds the replying indicator in threads, it uses the same `/chat-reply/CHANNEL_ID` prefix than the channel composer replying indicator as we don't have specific right on threads ATM (if you can access channel, you can access thread). Thread will however use a presence channel name of the following format: `/chat-reply/CHANNEL_ID/thread/THREAD_ID`
This commit also simplifies the computation of `users` to eventually avoid a race-condition leading to a leak of the indicator in another channel/thread.
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
After this change, in order to join a chat channel, a user needs to be in a group with at least “Reply” permission for the category. If the user only has “See” permission, they are able to preview the channel, but not join it or send messages. The auto-join function also follows this new restriction.

This commit adds an initial thread list UI. There are several limitations
with this that will be addressed in future PRs:
* There is no MessageBus reactivity, so e.g. if someone edits the original
message of the thread it will not be reflected in the list. However if
the thread title is updated the original message indicator will be updated.
* There is no unread functionality for threads in the list, if new messages
come into the thread there is no indicator in the UI.
* There is no unread indicator on the actual button to open the thread list.
* No pagination.
In saying that, this is the functionality so far:
* We show a list of the 50 threads that the user has most recently participated
in (i.e. sent a message) for the channel in descending order.
* Each thread we show a rich excerpt, the title, and the user who is the OM creator.
* The title is editable by staff and by the OM creator.
* Thread indicators show a title. We also replace emojis in the titles.
* Thread list works in the drawer/mobile.
- do not render sidepanel resizer as it's not usable on mobile
- removes 1px to the bottom spacing, this spacing won't be necessary once we implement chat-replying-indicator for thread
- correctly subscribe/unsubscribe channel
- instantly changes users list
- adds a test for testing channel change
- rewrites tests to be less verbose
- ensures users is always an array
This commit also adds a component test for it and fixes a bug in `chat-channel-archive-status` `#getTopicURL` property which was incorrectly called as a function.
- `ChatChannel`
- `UserChatChannelMembership`
Also creates a new `chat-direct-message` model used as the object for the`chatable` property of the `ChatChannel` when the `ChatChannel` is a direct message channel. When the chatable is a category a real `Category` object will now be returned.
Archive state of a `ChatChannel` is now hold in a `ChatChannelArchive` object.
After a long time with no activity or hidden browser (2.5 minutes), the app will re-sync the chat user-tracking-state to ensure unreads are synced.
We might also need to couple this later with more recovering logic.
Since our recent change of inverting thread scrolling direction it feels more responsive to scroll down in thread panel as soon as message is staged and not after it's actually persisted.
When hovering a thread indicator in a channel we will now append two `<link rel="preload" ...>` to the `<head>` of the document. Clicking on it should be significantly faster.

This commit implements all the necessary logic to create thread seamlessly. For this it relies on the same logic used for messages and generates a `staged-id`(using the format: `staged-thread-CHANNEL_ID-MESSAGE_ID` which is used to re-conciliate state client sides once the thread has been persisted on the backend.
Part of this change the client side is now always using real thread and channel objects instead of sometimes relying on a flat `threadId` or `channelId`.
This PR also brings three UX changes:
- thread starts from top
- number of buttons on message actions is dependent of the width of the enclosing container
- <kbd>shift + ArrowUp</kbd> will reply to the last message
* FIX: Link to thread for mentions inside thread
When mentioning a user in a thread, when we send the
notification and display it in the UI we want the URL
of the notification to point to the thread URL to open
the panel, rather than the main channel which is confusing.
For now, we don't have a way to highlight the linked-to message
in the thread, we can revisit this later.
* FIX: Mark mention notifications read when thread opens
Since we have no scrolling/message visibility/thread membership
for now, when a user opens the thread panel we just want to mark
all mention notifications relating to messages in the thread
for the user as read.
In the past this was happening on scroll so we needed to be very conservative here. Also, if we wait too much theres a visible element flashing so this PR attempts to compute right away, and a second time 100ms later in case the first one happened too early.
This will avoid the messages actions floating around while scrolling. Note it's not testing the thread counterpart yet as I have a plan in mind to tests channels and threads in a clean way in the near future.
Prior to this fix uploads event could end up in the wrong textarea. This will most importantly allow pasting an image in the thread composer.
Also fixes a minor padding issue on thread when uploads are associated to it.
`.chat-channel` had `300px` min width, when `.chat-drawer` was `250px`, resulting in overflowing channel when in drawer. This commits ensures the limits are always set at `250px`.
- using BEM notation
- making animation linear instead of default ease
- small tweaks to composer state (disabled/send-disabled/send-enabled)
- fixing bug with disabled composer on mobile
1. `this.chat.activeChannel = null` was being done in twice
2. using `willTransition()` and checking transition.to.name prefix for route cleanup rather than using `deactivate()` was unnecessarily verbose and could be premature (if something aborted the transition you'd end up in a broken state)
3. `activeChannel` on Chat service can be null, check for that before accessing
It's very hard to repro but under specific circumstances I suspect it was possible for this sequence to happen:
- set message TEXT
- cooking starts
- set message COOKED through another mean (like a message bus)
- the cooking started sooner finished and erases the cooked set at the step before causing the message to have the incorrect cooked
After removing `TextareaTextManipulation` from `ChatComposer` and using `TextareaInteractor` as a proxy, one function has been forgotten: `paste(event)` which is not available in glimmer components anymore, and even less avaiable now that the mixin is not tied to a component anymore but a real DOM node. As a solution we now add a manual paste event listener which will call `paste(event)`.
This pull request is a full overhaul of the chat-composer and contains various improvements to the thread panel. They have been grouped in the same PR as lots of improvements/fixes to the thread panel needed an improved composer. This is meant as a first step.
### New features included in this PR
- A resizable side panel
- A clear dropzone area for uploads
- A simplified design for image uploads, this is only a first step towards more redesign of this area in the future
### Notable fixes in this PR
- Correct placeholder in thread panel
- Allows to edit the last message of a thread with arrow up
- Correctly focus composer when replying to a message
- The reply indicator is added instantly in the channel when starting a thread
- Prevents a large variety of bug where the composer could bug and prevent sending message or would clear your input while it has content
### Technical notes
To achieve this PR, three important changes have been made:
- `<ChatComposer>` has been fully rewritten and is now a glimmer component
- The chat composer now takes a `ChatMessage` as input which can directly be used in other operations, it simplifies a lot of logic as we are always working a with a `ChatMessage`
- `TextareaInteractor` has been created to wrap the existing `TextareaTextManipulation` mixin, it will make future migrations easier and allow us to have a less polluted `<ChatComposer>`
Note ".chat-live-pane" has been renamed ".chat-channel"
Design for upload dropzone is from @chapoi
This was reverted in 38cebd3ed5.
The issue was that I was using Discourse.redis.delete_prefixed
which does a slow redis KEYS lookup, which is not advised in
production. This commit removes that, and also ensures the periodical
thread count update only happens if threading is enabled.
I changed to use a redis INCR/DECR for reply count
cache. This avoids a round trip to redis to GET the current
count, and also avoids multi-process issues, where
if there's two processes trying to increment at the
same time, they may both receive the same value, add one
to it, then both write the same value back.
Then, it's only n+1 instead of n+2.
This also prevents almost all chat scheduled jobs from
running if chat is disabled, the only one remaining is
the message retention job.
This commit moves the category channel creation out
of the Chat::Api::Channel controller and into a
dedicated CreateCategoryChannel service. A follow up
commit will move the DM channel creation out of
the old DirectMessageChannelCreator service.
Also includes a new on_model_errors helper
for chat service class usage, that collects model
validation errors to present in a nice way.

This commit fixes an issue where if you pressed a format
shortcut (e.g. bold, italic, code) for the composer and
you had the thread panel open as well, the shortcut would
trigger in both composers, not just the one that was focused.
We currently don't have a nice UI to show unread messages for the thread,
and it will take some time to create one. For now, this commit makes it so
new messages inside a thread do not count towards a chat channel's unread
counts, and new messages sent in a thread do not update a user's `last_read_message_id`
for a channel.
In addition, this PR refactors the `Chat::ChannelFetcher` to use the `Chat::ChannelUnreadsQuery`
query class for consistency, and made said class able to return zeroed-out records
for channels the user is not a member of.
Finally, a small bug is fixed here where if a user's `last_read_message_id` for
a channel was a thread's OM ID, then the thread OM would not show in the
main channel stream for them until another reply to the channel was posted.
This commit introduces a redis cache over the top of the thread
replies_count DB cache, so that we can quickly and accurately
increment/decrement the reply count for all users and not have
to constantly update the database-level count. This is done so
the UI can have a count that is displayed to the users on each
thread indicator, that appears to live update on each chat
message create/trash/recover inside the thread.
This commit also introduces the `Chat::RestoreMessage` service
and moves the restore endpoint into the `Api::ChannelMessages`
controller as part of incremental migrations to move things out
of ChatController.
Finally, this commit refactors `Chat::Publisher` to be less repetitive
with its `MessageBus` sending code.
Followup to bd5c5c4b5f,
this commit hooks up the bulk delete events for chat
messages inside the thread panel, by fanning out the
deleted message IDs based on whether they belong to
a thread or not.
Also adds a system spec to cover this case, as previously
the bulk delete event would have been broken with an incorrect
`typ` rather than `type` hash key.
This error was only happening on mobile, note we also already have a (mobile) test (plugins/chat/spec/system/transcript_spec.rb:184) for this which was passing as it's only happening at a specific speed. I don't want to complicate the test too much for this case, will reconsider if it regresses again.
This regression happened in bd5c5c4b5f and is due to `message_bus_targets = calculate_publish_targets(chat_channel, chat_message)` expecting a `chat_channel` which was only defined after.
Example exception in logs:
```

This commit also:
- adds a spec to ensure oneboxing is not regressing anymore
- increment the version on message processed to ensure callbacks are correctly ran
Note we should also have more tests in `Chat::Publisher`, this will be done when we move it to a proper service.

This codepath was responsible to scroll to the first emoji of a section, however `scrollIntoView` was not super reliable and was also causing the whole page to scroll with drawer. This is also simply not necessary code as native focus behavior will scroll to the element.
This commit introduces a ChatChannelPaneSubscriptionsManager
and a ChatChannelThreadPaneSubscriptionsManager that inherits
from the first service that handle MessageBus subscriptions
for the main channel and the thread panel respectively.
This necessitated a change to Chat::Publisher to be able to
send MessageBus messages to multiple channels based on whether
a message was an OM for a thread, a thread reply, or a regular
channel message.
An initial change to update the thread indicator with new replies
has been done too, but that will be improved in future as we have
more data to update on the indicators.
Still remaining is to fully move over the handleSentMessage
functionality which includes scrolling and new message indicator
things.

- Back button in drawer will bring you back to channel
- Larger font for thread indicator
- Prevents screen flashing due to clearing messages when they were already loaded
- Fixes a bug where did-update params were inverted causing an error when expanding/collapsing drawer
This feature will allow sites to define which emoji are not allowed. Emoji in this list should be excluded from the set we show in the core emoji picker used in the composer for posts when emoji are enabled. And they should not be allowed to be chosen to be added to messages or as reactions in chat.
This feature prevents denied emoji from appearing in the following scenarios:
- topic title and page title
- private messages (topic title and body)
- inserting emojis into a chat
- reacting to chat messages
- using the emoji picker (composer, user status etc)
- using search within emoji picker
It also takes into account the various ways that emojis can be accessed, such as:
- emoji autocomplete suggestions
- emoji favourites (auto populates when adding to emoji deny list for example)
- emoji inline translations
- emoji skintones (ie. for certain hand gestures)
This commit introduces a new thread indicator for channels with `threading_enabled`
set to true and the `enable_exp` site setting set to true. In addition, in the main channel
stream we now hide all messages that are linked to threads except for the original message,
disabling the concept of an "echo mode" for now, we may revisit this in future. We also
remove the jigsaw puzzle "Open Thread" button for message actions, since the thread
indicator can just be used instead.
This also stops the `Chat::Publisher` from sending any messages related to chat
messages that are linked to a thread, unless that chat message is the OM of the
thread. A subsequent PR will link up all MessageBus events within the thread panel,
and for the message indicators.
Another subsequent PR will add the excerpt of the latest message in each thread,
as well as the avatars of the users messaging in the thread.

- rounded active style for messages
- better active state on chat message actions rows
- ensures long press on a message is not selecting text
- slightly improved messages actions animation and background fading
- ensures chat emoji picker is not cutoff on right side
- removes old legacy code related to hovered message
Followup to c1dc6a2db4,
this commit just missed removing one of the @computed
decorators which was causing multiple active channels
to show in the sidebar. Fix the issue and introduce a
system spec to catch this.
- clicking empty area on the header will toggle collapse/expand it
- applies a background on hover of the channel title
- active state for small buttons
- the back button now has the correct icon color when hovered
- adds missing focus state for heade buttons icons
When hovering the chat message actions we are technically not hovering the message anymore, which was removing the background and is slightly unexpected. This commit ensures we keep this background until closing the message actions.
This PR primarily fixes this case:
- USER A message
- USER B message
- USER B reply to USER A message <-- not showing user info when it should
Moreover, this commit also improves the spec to correctly test more cases.
This commit is a major overhaul of how chat message actions work, to make it so they are reusable between the main chat channel and the chat thread panel, as well as many improvements and fixes for the thread panel.
There are now several new classes and concepts:
* ChatMessageInteractor - This is initialized from the ChatMessage, ChatMessageActionsDesktop, and ChatMessageActionsMobile components. This handles permissions about what actions can be done for each
message based on the context (thread or channel), handles the actions themselves (e.g. copyLink, delete, edit),
and interacts with the pane of the current context to modify the UI
* ChatChannelThreadPane and ChatChannelPane services - This represents the UI context which contains the
messages, and are mostly used for state management for things like message selection.
* ChatChannelThreadComposer and ChatChannelComposer - This handles interaction between the pane, the
message actions, and the composer, dealing with reply and edit message state.
* Scrolling logic for the messages has now been moved to a helper so it can be shared between the main channel pane and the thread pane
* Various improvements with the emoji picker on both mobile and desktop. The DOM node of each component is now located outside of the message which prevents a large range of issues.
The thread panel now also works in the chat drawer, and the thread messages have less
actions than the main panel, since some do not make sense there (e.g. moving messages to
a different channel). The thread panel title, excerpt, and message sender have also been removed
for now to save space.
This gives us a solid base to keep expanding on and fixing up threads. Subsequent PRs will
make the thread MessageBus subscriptions work and disable echo mode
for the initial release of threads.

This commit adds a system to generate CSS variables and classes for categories
and hashtags, which will be used in an effort to remove baked icons for hashtags
and add color to those icons.
This is in two parts. First I added an initializer generate a category color CSS
variable style tag in the head tag that looks like this:
```css
:root {
--category-1-color: #0088CC;
--category-2-color: #808281;
--category-3-color: #E45735;
--category-4-color: #A461EF;
--category-5-color: #ee56c9;
--category-6-color: #da28c2;
--category-7-color: #ab8b0a;
--category-8-color: #45da37;
...
}
```
The number is the category ID. This only generates CSS variables for categories
the user can access based on `site.categories`. If you need the parent color variable
you can just use the `category.parentCategory.id` to get it.
Then, I added an initializer to generate a hashtag CSS style tag using these variables.
Only the category and channel hashtags need this, the category one generates the
background-gradient needed for the swatch, and the channel just generates a color
for the icon. This is done in an extendable way using the new `api.registerHashtagType`
JS plugin API:
```css
hashtag-color--category-1 {
background: linear-gradient(90deg, var(--category-1-color) 50%, var(--category-1-color) 50%);
}
hashtag-color--category-2 {
background: linear-gradient(90deg, var(--category-2-color) 50%, var(--category-2-color) 50%);
}
hashtag-color--category-5 {
background: linear-gradient(90deg, var(--category-5-color) 50%, var(--category-4-color) 50%);
}
...
.hashtag-color--channel-4 {
color: var(--category-12-color);
}
.hashtag-color--channel-92 {
color: var(--category-24-color);
}
```
Note if a category has a parent, its color is used in the gradient correctly. The numbers
here are again IDs (e.g. channel ID, category ID) and the channel’s chatable ID is used
to find the category color variable.
When a chat message is trashed and the message is used
for someone's UserChatChannelMembership#last_read_message_id,
the user would end up with some read state issues until
someone posted a new message in the channel, since we didn't
clear it like we did on bulk message delete.
This commit fixes the issue, and also takes the opportunity
to start a MessagesController in the API namespace, and move
the trash message functionality into the new service format.
- Raises the scroll distance to 250px instead of 100px to show the arrow down button
- Always have a margin on drawer when showing channel list, removes this margin when the scrollbar is apparent
- Makes all scrollbar used in chat look the same through the chat-scrollbar mixin
- Ensures hover state is not persistent on channel row in mobile
- Makes the channel row full width on mobile
This commit introduces a Chat::Publisher and MessageBus endpoint
that allows for updating a user's channel tracking state in bulk for
multiple channels, rather than having to do it for one channel
at a time.
This also required an improvement to ChannelUnreadsQuery -- now
multiple channel IDs can be passed to this to get the unread counts
and mention counts for those channels for a user, also increasing
efficiency rather than having to do a query for every individual
channel.
Followup to #20802
Instead of just marking the state read in JS for each channel
after the AJAX call, we can instead just rely on the MessageBus
user-tracking-state chat channel, and publish the state to all
the channels affected in MarkAllUserChannelsRead. This will make
it so the blue dots for the channels are cleared across all tabs.
This manual set was happening only after the request so was not much faster than just waiting on message bus update. It's not by itself changing any behavior or fixing any bug but it makes reasoning about the whole state easier as it happens in only one central place.
Followup to a0381157e9, we just
need to make sure we set currentUserMembership.last_read_message_id
to the last_read_message_id from the updated memberships after marking
all channels read, otherwise we do not scroll to the bottom and still
show the "last visit" separators in channels that have been
marked read.
This commit adds a keyboard shortcut (Shift+ESC) for chat which marks all
of the chat channels that the user is currently a following member of as read,
updating their `last_read_message_id`. This is done via a new service.
It also includes some refactors and controller changes:
* The old mark message read route from `ChatController` is now supplanted
by the `Chat::Api::ReadsController#update` route.
* The new controller can handle either marking a single or all messages read,
and uses the correct service based on the route and params.
* The `UpdateUserLastRead` service is now used (it wasn't before), and has been slightly
updated to just use the guardian user ID.
There are many situations that may cause users to lose permission to
send messages in a chat channel. Until now we have relied on security
checks in `Chat::ChatChannelFetcher` to remove channels which the
user may have a `UserChatChannelMembership` record for but which
they do not have access to.
This commit takes a more proactive approach. Now any of these following
`DiscourseEvent` triggers may cause `UserChatChannelMembership`
records to be deleted:
* `category_updated` - Permissions of the category changed
(i.e. CategoryGroup records changed)
* `user_removed_from_group` - Means the user may not be able to access the
channel based on `GroupUser` or also `chat_allowed_groups`
* `site_setting_changed` - The `chat_allowed_groups` was updated, some
users may no longer be in groups that can access chat.
* `group_destroyed` - Means the user may not be able to access the
channel based on `GroupUser` or also `chat_allowed_groups`
All of these are handled in a distinct service run in a background
job. Users removed are logged via `StaffActionLog` and then we
publish messages on a per-channel basis to users who had their
memberships deleted.
When the user has a channel they are kicked from open, we show
a dialog saying "You no longer have access to this channel".
When they click OK we redirect them either:
* To their first other public channel, if they have any followed
* The chat browse page if they don't
This is to save on tons of requests from kicked out users getting messages
from other channels.
When the user does not have the kicked channel open, we can just
silently yoink it out of their sidebar and turn off subscriptions.
Prior to this fix, we wouldn't display reactions done on different tabs. So, if user A was reacting on tab 1, tab 2 wouldn't display this reaction.
Since few weeks ago we now have the guarantee to have uniq reactions on a message which should prevent any duplicate.
This commit also removes various skipped tests related to reactions and makes `sign_in` explicit at the beginning of each test.

This commit takes advantage of the `ResizeObserver` to know when dates should be re-computed, it works like this:
```
scrollable-div
-- child-enclosing-div with resize observer
---- message 1
---- message 2
---- message x
```
It also switches to bottom/height for date separators sizing, instead of bottom/top, it prevents a bug where setting the top of the first item (at the top) would cause scrollbar to move to top.
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
This commit does a couple of things:
* Adds the ability to load messages in the chat thread panel when it is open. This just loads the most recent N messages, same as a channel, and does nothing more, no scrolling or anything like that.
* Displays the messages in an extremely simple unordered list with no additional features.
* Allows posting new messages to the thread, and echoes them into the main channel, but does not respond to any sort of MessageBus events.
I've moved messages/clearMessages/addMessages/findMessage code out of the `ChatChannel` model
and into a new `ChatMessagesManager` class, which is instantiated in both the `ChatChannel` model
and the `ChatThread` model. This allows both to manage messages in the same way via the
`TrackedArray` pattern.
This is all hidden behind experimental flags, there is no way to make this not completely broken
in a single commit. Much more work and refactoring needs to be done first.

This behavior is hard to test as it's mostly fixing a race condition: User A sends a message at the same time than User B, which as a result doesn't cause a scroll for the second message and we don't update last read unless we do a small up and down scroll.
`updateLastRead` is debounced so it has no direct consequences to call it slightly more often than what should ideally be needed.
Prior to this fix, the upload was removed from DOM when collapsed and not decorated again on expand, which was causing lightbox to not get reapplied. The fix is reverting to previous state where content was not removed from DOM.
This commit main goal was to comply with Zeitwerk and properly rely on autoloading. To achieve this, most resources have been namespaced under the `Chat` module.
- Given all models are now namespaced with `Chat::` and would change the stored types in DB when using polymorphism or STI (single table inheritance), this commit uses various Rails methods to ensure proper class is loaded and the stored name in DB is unchanged, eg: `Chat::Message` model will be stored as `"ChatMessage"`, and `"ChatMessage"` will correctly load `Chat::Message` model.
- Jobs are now using constants only, eg: `Jobs::Chat::Foo` and should only be enqueued this way
Notes:
- This commit also used this opportunity to limit the number of registered css files in plugin.rb
- `discourse_dev` support has been removed within this commit and will be reintroduced later

Non-markdown tags weren't being escaped in chat excerpts. This could be
triggered by editing a chat message containing a tag (self XSS), or by
replying to a chat message with a tag (XSS).

Usage:
```javascript
api.addChatDrawerStateCallback(({ isDrawerActive, isDrawerExpanded }) => {
// do something
});
```
Note this commit also uses this new API to add a css class (chat-drawer-active) on the body when the drawer is active.
This fix uses direct `scrollTop` manipulation instead of `scrollIntoView` when we are certain we actually want the bottom of the screen. This avoids a range of issues especially in safari but also chrome where the scroll position was not correct at the end of `scrollIntoView`, especially due to images.
- Will consider a message read only one the bottom of the message has been read
- Will allow to mark a message bigger than the view port as read
- Code should be more performant as the scroll is doing less (albeit more often)
- Gives us a very precise scroll state. Problem with throttling scroll is that you could end up never getting the even where scrollTop is at 0, opening a whole range of edge cases to handle
1. Restore the left margin on both (which reflects the right margin of the scroll bar space)
2. Fix the center alignment of scroll-to-bottom icon
3. Fix the spacing of the `-` character between a date label and "last visit" label
4. Fix the incorrect display the border on date label when at the bottom of viewport
When we introduced `existingUploads` as an arg to the
ChatComposerUploads component, we also introduced a bug where
if multiple uploads were being done at once, and the draft
was saved, then because of didReceiveAttrs we would cancel
the currently uploading files because the draft uploads became
the existingUploads.
To work around this, since we do want to keep this on didReceiveAttrs
for cases when the user opens a draft or edits another message,
the easiest thing to do is to just not save uploads into the chat
draft if there are still uploads in progress. That way only when
all uploads are complete do we make them a part of the draft.
There is a small risk that the user could do something to lose
their uploads in the draft, but it's a better gamble to have
that happen rather than in progress uploads to be cancelled
while the user is waiting for them to be done because of the
draft.
Also changes the uploads system spec back to the old way of
attaching multiple files since that is why it was failing.
- group writes when computing separators positions
- shows skeleton only on initial load
- forces date separator to be pinned when first message to prevent a pinned - not pinned - pinned sequence when loading more in past
- relies on `message.visible` property instead of checking `isElementInViewport`
- attempts to load next/prev messages earlier
- do not scroll to on fetch more
- hides `last visit` text while pinned
Note this test my prove to be flakey, so I might have to remove it or find a different solution. It's extremely complicated to test for something which shouldn't appear in a period of time and is not a present at T=0
This was possible due to specific events which are hard to represent in a test. The provided test is as close as possible to what was happening in production: a message bus event was played on a channel which has just loaded its state with the existing reaction.
On require login sites, the `site` is not setup and as a result `hashtag_configurations` was blank and causing an error when attempting to access `["chat-composer"]` on it.
This PR is introducing glimmer usage in the chat-live-pane, for components but also for models. RestModel usage has been dropped in favor of native classes.
Other changes/additions in this PR:
sticky dates, scrolling will now keep the date separator of the current section at the top of the screen
better unread management, marking a channel as unread will correctly mark the correct message and not mark the whole channel as read. Tracking state will also now correctly return unread count and unread mentions.
adds an animation on bottom arrow
better scrolling behavior, we should now always correctly keep the scroll position while loading more
reactions are now more reactive, and will update their tooltip without needed to close/reopen it
skeleton has been improved with placeholder images and reactions
when making a reaction on the desktop message actions, the menu won't move anymore
simplify logic and stop maintaining a list of unloaded messages
