This change encourages users to title their threads to make it easier for other users to join in on conversations that matter to them.
The creator of the chat thread will receive a toast notification prompting them to add a thread title when on mobile and the thread has at least 5 sent replies.
Follow up to #26712 to account for older threads that don't have a persisted excerpt, as this was previously generated on every page load.
This change allows us to build the excerpt on the fly when none exists, fixing the issue of missing message excerpts for thread previews (within channel) and thread lists (on mobile/desktop).
This change moves the chat message excerpt into a new database column (string) on the chat_messages table.
As part of this change, we will now set the excerpt within the `Chat::CreateMessage` service, and update it within the `Chat::UpdateMessage` service.
At the moment, when someone is mentioning a group, or using here or
all mention, we create a chat_mention record per user. What we want
instead is to have special kinds of mentions, so we can create only one
chat_mention record in such cases. This PR implements that.
Note, that such mentions will still have N related notifications, one
notification per a user. We don't expect we'll have performance
problems on the notifications side, but if at some point we do, we
should be able to solve them on the side of notifications
(notifications are handled in jobs, also some little delays with
the notifications are acceptable, so we can make sure notifications
are properly queued, and that processing of every notification is
fast enough to make delays small enough).
The preparation work for this PR was done in fbd24fa, where we make
it possible for one mention to have several related notifications.
A pretty tricky part of this PR is schema and data migration, I've explained
related details inline on the migration files.
This PR is a reworked version of https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24670.
In chat, we need the ability to have several notifications per `chat_mention`.
Currently, we have one_to_one relationship between `chat_mentions` and `notifications`:
d7a09fb08d/plugins/chat/app/models/chat/mention.rb (L9)
We want to have one_to_many relationship. This PR implements that by introducing
a join table between `chat_mentions` and `notifications`.
The main motivation for this is that we want to solve some performance problems
with mentions that we're having now. Let's say a user sends a message with @ all
in a channel with 50 members, we do two things in this case at the moment:
- create 50 chat_mentions
- create 50 notifications
We don't want to change how notifications work in core, but we want to be more
efficient in chat, and create only 1 `chat_mention` which would link to 50 notifications.
Also note, that on the side of notifications, having a lot of notifications is not so
big problem, because notifications processing can be queued.
Apart from improving performance, this change will make the code design better.
Note that I've marked the old `chat_mention.notification_id` column as ignored, but
I'm not deleting it in this PR. We'll delete it later in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24800.
- Remove vendored copy
- Update Rails implementation to look for language definitions in node_modules
- Use webpack-based dynamic import for hljs core
- Use browser-native dynamic import for site-specific language bundle (and fallback to webpack-based dynamic import in tests)
- Simplify markdown implementation to allow all languages into the `lang-{blah}` className
- Now that all languages are passed through, resolve aliases at runtime to avoid the need for the pre-built `highlightjs-aliases` index
The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
This commit starts from a simple observation: cooking messages on the hot path can be slow. Especially with a lot of mentions.
To move cooking from the hot path, this commit has made the following changes:
- updating cooked, inserting mentions and notifying user of new mentions has been moved inside the `process_message` job. It happens right after the `Chat::MessageProcessor` run, which is where the cooking happens.
- the similar existing code in `rebake!` has also been moved to rely on the `process_message`job only
- refactored `create_mentions` and `update_mentions` into one single `upsert_mentions` which can be called invariably
- allows services to decide if their job is ran inline or later. It avoids to need to know you have to use `Jobs.run_immediately!` in this case, in tests it will be inline per default
- made various frontend changes to make the chat-channel component lifecycle clearer. we had to handle `did-update @channel` which was super awkward and creating bugs with listeners which the changes of the PR made clear in failing specs
- adds a new `-processed` (and `-not-processed`) class on the chat message, this is made to have a good lifecyle hook in system specs
At the moment writing a mention similar to `@bob...hi` would have resulted in chat trying to find a user named `bob...hi` which would fail.
This was due to the `replacements` rule not being present in the rules used to cook chat messages.
We are still missing few default rules like: normalize, smartquotes, text_join, ... which don't seem to be necessary but could be added if we found a reason for. More info at: e476f78bc3/lib/parser_core.js
This would cause an error when deleting the original message of a thread, due to the non existing `last_message`. This fix is implemented using the null pattern.
Note this commit is also using this opportunity to unify naming of null objects, `Chat::DeletedUser` becomes `Chat::NullUser`, it feels better to have a name describing what is the object, instead of a name describing why this object has to be used, which can change depending on cases.
Introduce max length on text columns for description and slug fields within chat.
At a later date we will probably want to convert these text columns to string/varchar through a migration, but for now this change introduces a limit within the active record model.
Each time a message is created through a webhook, we create we webhook_event associated to this webhook.
When destroying a webhook, we were not destroying the webhook_events which was causing orphans records and more importantly errors in the app expecting to find and associated webhook.
This commit removes any logic in the app and in specs around
enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete and deletes some
old category hashtag code that is no longer necessary.
It also adds a `slug_ref` category instance method, which
will generate a reference like `parent:child` for a category,
with an optional depth, which hashtags use. Also refactors
PostRevisor which was using CategoryHashtagDataSource directly
which is a no-no.
Deletes the old hashtag markdown rule as well.
This is extracted from #22390.
This patch introduces a scope to avoid duplication and a new method,
`Chat::Channel.find_by_id_or_slug` to allow finding a channel either by
its id or by its slug (or its category slug).
This is extracted from #22390.
This patch simplifies a little how we handle uploads in chat, relying on
ActiveRecord mechanisms instead of calling custom methods.
This also makes `Chat::Message#validate_message` a “real” AR validation,
meaning it will run automatically when `#valid?` is called.
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
This fixes a longstanding TODO to move the contents of the
UpdateUserCountsForChannels job to the ensure_consistency!
method of Chat::Channel, which runs every 15 mins as part of
periodical updates.
This commit also addresses the performance issue of the original,
where we would fetch all channels and do an individual query to
get the count and update the count of each one. Now we do it all
in one query, and only publish the changed channels to the UI.
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.

The result of this markdown had different results in the composer preview and the post. This is solved by updating Loofah to the latest version and using html5 fragments like our user had reported. While the change was only needed in cooked_post_processor.rb for this fix, other areas also had to be updated due to various side effects.
* FEATURE: reduce avatar sizes to 6 from 20
This PR introduces 3 changes:
1. SiteSetting.avatar_sizes, now does what is says on the tin.
previously it would introduce a large number of extra sizes, to allow for
various DPIs. Instead we now trust the admin with the size list.
2. When `avatar_sizes` changes, we ensure consistency and remove resized
avatars that are not longer allowed per site setting. This happens on the
12 hourly job and limited out of the box to 20k cleanups per cycle, given
this may reach out to AWS 20k times to remove things.
3.Our default avatar sizes are now "24|48|72|96|144|288" these sizes were
very specifically picked to limit amount of bluriness introduced by webkit.
Our avatars are already blurry due to 1px border, so this corrects old blur.
This change heavily reduces storage required by forums which simplifies
site moves and more.

Followup to d4a5b79592,
this introduced an N1 because every message in the list
we had to query users for the mentions and then the user's
status too. Instead we can just include both in Chat::MessagesQuery.
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.
Regressed in eec10efc3d. It means that backend plugin spec failures in CI were not failing the spec suite.
Fixes recent regressions and skips two of them - to be handled next week.

This will enable us to begin work on user tracking
state for a thread so we can show thread-specific
unreads and mentions indicators. In this case are following
the core notification_level paradigm rather than the solution
UserChatChannelMembership went with, and eventually we
will want to refactor the other table to match this as well.

We need to create and update `chat_mentions` records for messages earlier. They should be created or updated before we call `Chat::Publisher.publish_new!` `Chat::Publisher.publish_edit!` to send the message to message bus subscribers).
This logic is covered with tests in `message_creator_spec.rb`, `message_updater_spec.rb`, `notifier_spec.rb` and `notify_mentioned_spec.rb`.
See the commits history for steps of refactoring.
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 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.
Similar to 22a55ef0ce,
this commit adds a replies_count to the Chat::Thread
table, which is updated every 15 minutes via PeriodicalUpdates.
This is done so the new thread indicator for the UI can
show the count without intense serializer queries, but
in future we likely want this to update more frequently.
Followup to 0924f874bd,
we migrated Chat::Upload records to UploadReference records
there and have not been making new Chat::Upload records
for some time, we can now delete the model and table.
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
<!-- 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. -->
Mentions are now displayed as using the non-cooked message which fixes
the problem. This is not ideal. I think we might want to rework how
these excerpts are created and rendered in the near future.

This is just a little clean-up in tests. In the past, when creating a `chat_mention`
record, we always created a related notification. Starting from fa543cda
notifications and chat_mentions are fully decoupled from each other. So if we're
testing just chat mentions there is no need to fabricate notifications for them.
Similar spirit to e195e6f614,
this moves the Bookmarkable registration to DiscoursePluginRegistry
so plugins which are not enabled do not register additional
bookmarkable classes.
Before this commit, we created a chat mention record only in case we wanted to send a notification about that mention to the user. Notifications were the only use case for the chat_mention db table. Now we want to use that table for other features, so we have to always create a chat_mention record.
Initially, the chat_mention db table was created to support notifications. So when creating
a `chat_mention` record we were always creating a related `notification` record. So did the
ChatMention fabricator.
Now we want to use the chat_mention db table in other scenarios. So we started decoupling
mentions from notification in 75b81b68.
This removes fabrication of Notifications from the ChatMention fabricator. We need to be able
to fabricate a ChatMention without a Notification.

This commit introduces the skeleton of the chat thread UI. The
structure of the components looks like this. Its done this way
so the side panel can be used for other things as well if we wish,
not just for threads:
```
.main-chat-outlet
<ChatLivePane />
<ChatSidePanel>
<-- rendered with {{outlet}} -->
<ChatThread />
</ChatSidePanel>
```
Later on the `ChatThreadList` will be rendered here as well.
Now, when you go to a channel you can open a thread by clicking
on either the Open Thread message action button or by clicking on
the reply indicator. This will take you to a route like `chat/c/:slug/:channelId/t/:threadId`.
This works on mobile as well.
This commit includes basic serializers and routes for threads,
as well as a new `ChatThreadsManager` service in JS that caches
threads for a channel the same way the channel threads manager does.
The chat messages inside the thread are intentionally left out
until a later PR.
**NOTE: These changes are gated behind the site setting enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions
and the threading_enabled boolean on a ChatChannel**
