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.
Why this change?
The specs are flaky on CI and we've unable to figure out why so we've
decided to skip them only on CI for now. The tests are still ran in our
internal build so we still have some protection in place.
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
Why is this change being made?
We've decided that the previous "community" section should look more
like a primary section that holds the most important navigation links
for the site and the word "community" doesn't quite fit that
description. Therefore, we've made the decision to drop the
section heading for the community section.
As part of removing the section heading, the following changes are made
as well:
1. Button to customize the section has been moved to the "footer" of the
"More..." section when `navigation_menu` site setting is set to `sidebar`.
When `navigation_menu` is set to `header dropdown`, a button to customize
the section is shown inline.
2. The section will no longer be collapsable.
3. The title of the section is no longer customisable as it is no longer
displayed. As a technical note, we have not dropped any previous
customisations of the section's title previously in case we have to
bring back the header in the future.
4. The new topic button that was previously present in the header has
been removed alongside the header. Admins can add a custom section
link to the `/new-topic` route if there would like to make it easier for
users to create a new topic in the sidebar.
The `message_bus_channels` given to `MessageBus.last_ids(*message_bus_channels)` is not ordered, as a result the expectation of the tests could fail, this test ensures we check the contain of the input instead of content+order.
This commit also standardize the naming pattern of modals: `<Chat::Modal::FooBar />` and changes css class accordingly.

When the loading slider is enabled, the rendering of `application.hbs` is slightly delayed compared to the old 'spinner' strategy. This means that if a route tried to render a dialog during its `model()` hook, the dialog wrapper element would not be present and an error would occur.
This commit detects that situation and delays rendering the error until the next runloop iteration. If the element is still not found, we print a useful error to the console.
In the long term, we should ideally convert the dialog service to use a pure-ember rendering strategy instead of leaning on a11y-dialog. But for now, this workaround should resolve the problems identified by the chat system specs.
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.
Since we create threads in the background regardless of whether
threading is enabled for a channel, we get the unexpected behaviour
of everyone having a lot of unread threads when threading is enabled
for the channel.
To counteract this, when the admin enables threads for a channel
we can just run a high priority background job to mark all threads
as read in the channel for all users, so they are essentially
starting from a clean slate.

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.
Why this change?
`Faker::Lorem.paragraph` generates a differrent length of string
every time. When a string happens to be long, it can change the UI
across system test runs making it harder to reason about our system
tests across multiple runs since the state is never really consistent.
We will just generate a paragraph with a fixed length going forward so
that the UI remains consistent. This should make certain tests which
relies on the UI being in a certain state to become less flaky.
Why this change?
This change ensures that we scroll to the top of the message when
hovering over a message to ensure that the message actions container
that appears on hover is not hidden in the chat drawer when the content
of the chat message is long.
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
In specific conditions (generally a small drawer, with a long message) it is possible to have the message’s actions menu to be displayed hover the drawer's header.
This is particularly hard to fix correctly using popper due to our positioning which is slightly at the limit of the container.
The proposed fix targets mostly the specs by ensuring the messages actions will be hidden before attempting to click any header's button.
Why this change?
In CI, we know we're clicking a link to a chat channel's threads list.
However, the threads list is not loaded and we want to add more
assertions here to try and figure out why. By asserting for the current
URL, we will at least know that the transition to the URL is successful.
- 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
