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::Error />`
- 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.
- Moves css code out of chat-message into relevant files
- 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");
});
```
