- drop @
- prevents +X (participants) to show on next line
- few spacing/fonts adjustments
Note that this commit is also stripping links from chat excerpts.
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.
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.
- 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
Followup to c6b43ce68b
We can just use the rich excerpt everywhere since we know
we don't need text_entities -- that introduced security issues
just to fix a spec.
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 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
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 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
- 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
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.
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).

- 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
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

Followup to b94fa3b87a,
which broke the functionality to click on a message
checkbox, hold shift, then click another one, and have
the messages inbetween selected. Add system spec to
catch this.
It should fix flakeys we have due to using_session. This commit is also fixing tests which were failing constantly with treadsafe enabled.
A test has also bene skipped as the issue couldn't be found so far.

Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API
