Chat redesign work to improve chat navigation:
- New header title with channel name (thread list on mobile)
- New header title without channel name (thread list on full page chat)
- Removes the close button on threads (mobile only)
- Updates to back button route within thread (mobile), taking user to:
- The thread index, if they accessed the thread from the thread index.
- The channel itself, if they accessed the thread directly from the channel.
- The channel itself, if they accessed the thread from a notification.
- Show thread title in chat drawer header
- Properly convert emoji in thread titles in chat header (all devices)
- Upgrades various templates to use gjs format.
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
We now create threads on reply so the refresh check is not really necessary as there's nothing special about it anymore. We don't refresh every pages in other tests to check they still work.
Hopefully these changes will prevent few flakeys too.
I don't have a repro of this ATM, but I suspect that ensuring the panel has been opened before moving to next tests could make this test more resilient.
This is extracted from #22390.
This patch aims to ease the transition to the new message creation
service. (in progress in #22390) Indeed, the new service patch is
breaking some specs from `discourse-ai` and `discourse-templates`
because these plugins are using either `Chat::MessageCreator` or the
`chat_message` fabricator.
This patch addresses theses issues by normalizing how we create a chat
message in specs. To do so, the preferred way is to use
`Fabricate(:chat_message)` with a new `:use_service` option allowing to
call the service under the hood. While this patch will obviously call
`Chat::MessageCreator`, the new service patch will now be able to simply
change the call to `Chat::CreateMessage` without breaking any specs from
other plugins.
Another thing this patch does is to not create chat messages using the
service for specs that aren’t system ones, thus speeding the execution
time a bit in the process.
- 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.
Not sure how this was even working previously, since it's trying
to press the reply button on a thread original message, which doesn't
work, you need to click the indicator to open the thread.
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.
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

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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 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
