The client already has all the information about the current user so
there is no need for us to be serializing the current `User` object each
time per channel that is preloaded.
In production, profiling shows that this unneeded serializing
adds a roughly 5% overhead to a request.
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
<!-- 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. -->
Prior to this change, each request executed 2 Redis calls per chat channel
that was loaded. The number of Redis calls quickly adds up once a user
is following multiple channels.
This commit adds an index for the query which the chat plugin executes
multiple times when preloading user data in `Chat::ChatChannelFetcher.unread_counts`.
Sample query plan from a query I grabbed from one of our production
instance.

In both ChatMessage#rebake! and in ChatMessageProcessor
when we were calling ChatMessage.cook we were missing the
user_id to cook with, which causes missed hashtag cooks
because of missing permissions.
Previously, restricted category chat channel was available for all groups - even `readonly`. From now on, only user who belong to group with `create_post` or `full` permissions can access that chat channel.
There is no need to duplicate check chat messages when they are being
edited but not having their message text changed. This was leading to
a validation error when adding/removing an upload but not changing the
message text.
Instead of passing `user` to `guardian.can_chat?`, we
can just use the inner `@user` that is part of the guardian
instance already to determine whether that user can chat,
since this is how it works for all other usages of guardian
even within chat.
* FEATURE: Enforce mention limits for chat messages
The first part of these changes adds a new setting called `max_mentions_per_chat_message`, which skips notifications when the message contains too many mentions. It also respects the `max_users_notified_per_group_mention` setting
and skips notifications if expanding a group mention would exceed it.
We also include a new component to display JIT warning for these limits to the user while composing a message.
* Simplify ignoring/muting filter in chat_notifier
* Post-send warnings for unsent warnings
* Improve pluralization
* Address review feedback
* Fix test
* Address second feedback round
* Third round of feedback

This commit adds the messages_count column for ChatChannel messages,
which is the number of not-deleted messages in the channel.
This is not updated every time a message is created or deleted in a
channel, so it should not be displayed in the UI.
It is updated eventually via Jobs::ChatPeriodicalUpdates, which
will have additional functions in future after being introduced
here.
Also update these counts for existing channels in a post migration.
The settings tab of each category channel should now present the option to allow or disallow channel wide mentions: @here and @all.
When disallowed, using these mentions in the channel should have no effect.
There must have been a small loophole that allowed
setting the channel slug in the DB which has led to
conflicts in some cases.
This commit fixes the conflicting chat channel
slugs and then changes the channel slug index
to a unique one in the DB.
This commit adds variousMessageBus.last_ids to serializer payloads
for chat channels and the chat view (for chat live pane) so
we can use those IDs when subscribing to MessageBus channels
from chat.
This allows us to ensure that any messages created between the
server being hit and the UI loaded and subscribing end up being
delivered to the client, rather than just silently dropped.
This commit also fixes an issue where we were subscribing to
the new-messages and new-mentions MessageBus channels multiple
times when following/unfollowing a channel multiple times.
This commit introduce a new API for registering callbacks, which we'll execute when a user gets destroyed, and the `delete_posts` opt is true. The chat plugin registers one callback and queues a job to destroy every message from that user in batches.
* FIX: Unsilence users on chat message flag disagree.
We have an auto silence rule in place for chat message flags, so we need to unsilence users if the flag gets rejected.
Additionally, it also fixes the `disagree_and_restore` action, which wasn't recovering a deleted message.
* Update plugins/chat/spec/models/reviewable_chat_message_spec.rb

Only allow maximum of 6000 characters for chat messages when they
are created or edited. A hidden setting can control this limit,
6000 is the default.
There is also a migration here to truncate any existing messages to
6000 characters if the message is already over that and if the
chat_messages table exists. We also set cooked_version to NULL
for those messages so we can identify them for rebake.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.
------
**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
This commit automatically ensures that category channels
have slugs when they are created or updated based on the
channel name, category name, or existing slug. The behaviour
has been copied from the Category model.
We also include a backfill here with a simplified version
of Slug.for with deduplication to fill the slugs for already
created Category chat channels.
The channel slug is also now used for chat notifications,
and for the UI and navigation for chat. `slugifyChannel`
is still used, but now does the following fallback:
* Uses channel.slug if it is present
* Uses channel.escapedTitle if it is present
* Uses channel.title if it is present
In future we may want to remove this altogether
and always rely on the slug being present, but this
is currently not possible because we are not generating
slugs for DM channels at this point.
Currently it’s not possible to delete a category if an associated chat
channel is present even if there are no messages in this channel.
This can lead to annoying situations for our users.
This patch addresses the issue by checking if the channel is empty
instead of just checking if there is a channel.
Follow up to 766bcbc684
Makes ChatMessage.last_editor_id and ChatMessageRevision.user_id
NOT NULL since they are always filled in now and the last commit
had a migration to backfill this data.
Follow up to 766bcbc684
This fixes a gaffe from that commit where I passed in the
guardian to ChatMessageUpdater but then forgot to remove
the old way of setting the guardian and user instance variables
from the chat_message that was passed in.
Also, it moves the ensure_can_edit_message! check from the
controller into ChatMessageUpdater so all the access
checks are in the same place.
This commit adds last_editor_id to ChatMessage for parity with Post in
core, as well as adding user_id to the ChatMessageRevision record since
we need to know who is making edits and revisions to messages, in case
in future we want to allow more than just the current user to edit chat
messages. The backfill for data here simply uses the record's creating
user ID, but in future if we allow other people to edit the messages it
will use their ID.
This is a followup of the previous refactor where we created two new
models to handle all the dedicated logic that was present in the
`ChatChannel` model.
For the sake of consistency, `DMChannel` has been renamed to
`DirectMessageChannel` and the previous `DirectMessageChannel` model is
now named `DirectMessage`. This should help reasoning about direct
messages.
