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.
This patch introduces policy objects to chat services. It allows putting
more complex logic in a dedicated class, which will make services
thinner. It also allows providing a reason why the policy failed.
Some change has been made to the service runner too to use more easily
these new policy objects: when matching a failing policy (or any failing
step actually), the result object is now provided to the block. This
way, instead of having to access the reason why the policy failed by
doing `result["result.policy.policy_name"].reason` inside the block,
this one can be simply written like this:
```ruby
on_failed_policy(:policy_name) { |policy| policy.reason }
```
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.
This moves chat tracking state calculation for channels
and threads into a central Chat::TrackingStateManager service, that
serves a similar purpose to the TopicTrackingState model
in core.
This service calls down to these query classes:
* ThreadUnreadsQuery
* ChannelUnreadsQuery
To get the unread_count and mention_count for the appropriate
channels and threads.
As well as this, this commit refactors the client-side chat
tracking state.
Now, there is a central ChatTrackingStateManager Ember Service
so all tracking is accessible and can be counted from one place,
which can also initialize tracking from an initial payload.
The actual tracking counts are now maintained in a ChatTrackingState
class that is initialized on the `.tracking` property of both channel and
thread objects.
This removes the attributes on UserChatChannelMembership and decoration
of said membership from ChannelFetcher, preferring instead to have an additional
object for tracking in the JSON.
A follow-up to 54b2a85b. That commit didn't fix the issue because the to_notify hash that we return from the notify_edit method isn't used anywhere apart from tests (that's confusing, we're going to fix that soon).
In the past, we create a `chat_mention` records only when we wanted to notify a user about a mention. Since we don't send notifications when a user mentioning himself, we didn't create a `chat_mention` records in those cases.
Now we use `chat_mentions` records in other scenarios too, so when a user is mentioning himself we want to:
1. Create a `chat_mention` record for that mention
2. Do not create a notification for that mention
When the user sends a message in a thread, we want to
create a membership for them in the background (default
to notification level of Watching) so we can track whether
they have read the thread.
Then, for now since we don't have granular message reading/
scrolling in the thread panel, we just update the thread
last_read_message_id for the user to the latest reply in the
thread when they open the thread panel. This at least will
mark the thread as read.
In future PRs we want to show the blue dot indicator in various
places in the UI for unread threads which will also require
some MessageBus functionality.
This takes into account the same issue fixed for channels
in ae3231e140
When setting DISCOURSE_ZEITWERK_EAGER_LOAD=1 to enable
eager loading the previous solution to adding chat_levels
to the core NotificationLevels would break with a module
loading error (c.f. cc2570fce3)
We don't actually _need_ to extend the core class, we can just
make our own for chat, let's do this instead.
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.

After this change, in order to join a chat channel, a user needs to be in a group with at least “Reply” permission for the category. If the user only has “See” permission, they are able to preview the channel, but not join it or send messages. The auto-join function also follows this new restriction.

This commit adds an initial thread list UI. There are several limitations
with this that will be addressed in future PRs:
* There is no MessageBus reactivity, so e.g. if someone edits the original
message of the thread it will not be reflected in the list. However if
the thread title is updated the original message indicator will be updated.
* There is no unread functionality for threads in the list, if new messages
come into the thread there is no indicator in the UI.
* There is no unread indicator on the actual button to open the thread list.
* No pagination.
In saying that, this is the functionality so far:
* We show a list of the 50 threads that the user has most recently participated
in (i.e. sent a message) for the channel in descending order.
* Each thread we show a rich excerpt, the title, and the user who is the OM creator.
* The title is editable by staff and by the OM creator.
* Thread indicators show a title. We also replace emojis in the titles.
* Thread list works in the drawer/mobile.
When making the list of users to notify we set `all_mentioned_user_ids` key on the `to_notify` Hash.
This hash will be passed around until the actual moment where we send the notifications:
```ruby
identifier_text =
case identifier_type
when :here_mentions
"@here"
when :global_mentions
"@all"
when :direct_mentions
""
else
"@#{identifier_type}"
end
```
As not found `all_mentioned_user_ids` would end up being sent as `@all_mentioned_user_ids` which is obviously incorrect.
This commit is a direct fix to the issue and will remove the key as soon as we have used it sooner up in the chain.
This bug was reproducible when doing this sequence of events:
- create a message with a direct mention: `@bob hi`
- edit this message into a global mention `@all hi`
Every replies creates a thread, even when threading is disabled. This is how we ensure we can go back and forth. However, a message bus event should only be published when threading is enabled, otherwise frontend will attempt to display a thread which is not possible when disabled.
This fixes a silent background 404 when doing a reply in a direct message channel or a non threading enabled category channel.
What is the problem?
Previously, this was the query used to move change messages into another
channel.
```
INSERT INTO chat_messages(
chat_channel_id, user_id, last_editor_id, message, cooked, cooked_version, created_at, updated_at
)
SELECT :destination_channel_id,
user_id,
last_editor_id,
message,
cooked,
cooked_version,
CLOCK_TIMESTAMP(),
CLOCK_TIMESTAMP()
FROM chat_messages
WHERE id IN (:message_ids)
RETURNING id
```
The problem is that this incorrectly assumes that the insertion will be based on the order of `message_ids`. However, that
is not the case as PostgreSQL provides no such guarantee. Instead we need to explicitly order the messages to ensure
the right order of insertion.
This problem was discovered by a flaky test which exposed the non-guarantee order of insertion.
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 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
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 moves the category channel creation out
of the Chat::Api::Channel controller and into a
dedicated CreateCategoryChannel service. A follow up
commit will move the DM channel creation out of
the old DirectMessageChannelCreator service.
Also includes a new on_model_errors helper
for chat service class usage, that collects model
validation errors to present in a nice way.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Send a chat message
2. Edit the message and add a mention to it
3. The mentioned user won't receive a notification
This PR fixes the problem.
Also:
1. There's no need anymore to have a code for removing notifications in the `notify_edit` method, because a call to `@chat_message.update_mentions` in the first line of the `notify_edit` method does that job:
ff56f403a2/plugins/chat/lib/chat/notifier.rb (L90)
2. There's no need to load mention records from database, it's enough to pluck user ids
This is to help generate random channels and chat
messages for local dev. This was removed in 12a18d4d55
presumably because it was not worth refactoring at the
time.
I've only added these tasks:
- `rake chat:message:populate\[113,20\]` (channel_id, count)
- Generates the count of messages for a channel ID provided,
otherwise uses a random channel and 200 count.
- `rake chat:category_channel:populate`
- Creates a chat channel for a random category.
- `rake chat🧵populate\[132,5\]` (channel_id, message_count)
- Creates a thread with N messages in the specified channel,
and enables threading in that channel if necessary
We currently don't have a nice UI to show unread messages for the thread,
and it will take some time to create one. For now, this commit makes it so
new messages inside a thread do not count towards a chat channel's unread
counts, and new messages sent in a thread do not update a user's `last_read_message_id`
for a channel.
In addition, this PR refactors the `Chat::ChannelFetcher` to use the `Chat::ChannelUnreadsQuery`
query class for consistency, and made said class able to return zeroed-out records
for channels the user is not a member of.
Finally, a small bug is fixed here where if a user's `last_read_message_id` for
a channel was a thread's OM ID, then the thread OM would not show in the
main channel stream for them until another reply to the channel was posted.
We've found these exceptions in logs:
Job exception: undefined method `destroy!' for nil:NilClass
/var/www/discourse/plugins/chat/lib/chat/notifier.rb:102:in `block in notify_edit'
/var/www/discourse/plugins/chat/lib/chat/notifier.rb💯in `each'

In the past, we were creating `chat_mention` records only for sending notifications, so every mention record had a related notification. It isn't the case anymore (since fa543cda). This PR fixes the problem by making sure the notification exists before trying to remove it. Also, we shouldn't be deleting a `chat_mention` record itself, only a notification, this PR fixes that too.
It's quite hard to reproduce this bug locally, I wasn't able to do so, the logic in this class is quite complicated, that's why I'm not adding a test. Also, when looking at this I realized that this method isn't in a fully correct state now, I suspect sometimes some notifications may not be delivered after someone edits a chat message and adds new mentions to it. I'm going to refactor and simplify the method in a subsequent PR.
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.
This commit introduces a new thread indicator for channels with `threading_enabled`
set to true and the `enable_exp` site setting set to true. In addition, in the main channel
stream we now hide all messages that are linked to threads except for the original message,
disabling the concept of an "echo mode" for now, we may revisit this in future. We also
remove the jigsaw puzzle "Open Thread" button for message actions, since the thread
indicator can just be used instead.
This also stops the `Chat::Publisher` from sending any messages related to chat
messages that are linked to a thread, unless that chat message is the OM of the
thread. A subsequent PR will link up all MessageBus events within the thread panel,
and for the message indicators.
Another subsequent PR will add the excerpt of the latest message in each thread,
as well as the avatars of the users messaging in the thread.

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 adds a keyboard shortcut (Shift+ESC) for chat which marks all
of the chat channels that the user is currently a following member of as read,
updating their `last_read_message_id`. This is done via a new service.
It also includes some refactors and controller changes:
* The old mark message read route from `ChatController` is now supplanted
by the `Chat::Api::ReadsController#update` route.
* The new controller can handle either marking a single or all messages read,
and uses the correct service based on the route and params.
* The `UpdateUserLastRead` service is now used (it wasn't before), and has been slightly
updated to just use the guardian user ID.
There are many situations that may cause users to lose permission to
send messages in a chat channel. Until now we have relied on security
checks in `Chat::ChatChannelFetcher` to remove channels which the
user may have a `UserChatChannelMembership` record for but which
they do not have access to.
This commit takes a more proactive approach. Now any of these following
`DiscourseEvent` triggers may cause `UserChatChannelMembership`
records to be deleted:
* `category_updated` - Permissions of the category changed
(i.e. CategoryGroup records changed)
* `user_removed_from_group` - Means the user may not be able to access the
channel based on `GroupUser` or also `chat_allowed_groups`
* `site_setting_changed` - The `chat_allowed_groups` was updated, some
users may no longer be in groups that can access chat.
* `group_destroyed` - Means the user may not be able to access the
channel based on `GroupUser` or also `chat_allowed_groups`
All of these are handled in a distinct service run in a background
job. Users removed are logged via `StaffActionLog` and then we
publish messages on a per-channel basis to users who had their
memberships deleted.
When the user has a channel they are kicked from open, we show
a dialog saying "You no longer have access to this channel".
When they click OK we redirect them either:
* To their first other public channel, if they have any followed
* The chat browse page if they don't
This is to save on tons of requests from kicked out users getting messages
from other channels.
When the user does not have the kicked channel open, we can just
silently yoink it out of their sidebar and turn off subscriptions.
This refactoring simplifies ChatNotifier a bit. I wanted to drop
that argument for expand_direct_mentions too, but that needs
a bit deeper refactoring, so it's better to do it separately.

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. -->
This regressed with the commit fa543cd. Starting from that commit, we create mention records even if a user shouldn't be notified. So when sending emails, we should be making sure if a notification was actually created for a mention. This is essentially the whole fix that we need here. Tests will be provided in a following PR.
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.
This commit allows the user to set their preference vis-a-vis
the chat icon in the header of the page. There are three options:
- All New (default) - This maintains the existing behaviour where
all new messages in the channel show a blue dot on the icon
- Direct Messages and Mentions - Only show the green dot on the
icon when you are directly messaged or mentioned, the blue dot
is never shown
- Never - Never show any dot on the chat icon, for those who
want tractor-beam-laser-focus
This patch introduces a new `ServiceJob` class allowing the use of
`with_service` in jobs.
This way, it’s easier to use the chat service objects in jobs and
provides the same level of functionality than the one we have in
controllers.

Initially, the ChatMention model / db table was introduced to better support notifications (see discourse/discourse-chat@0801d10). That means that currently, we create a new chat_mention record only if a user will be notified about the mention.
Now we plan to start using the ChatMention model in other scenarios (for example for implementing user status on mentions) so we need to always create a new record in the chat_mention table. This PR does the first step into that direction by decoupling the logic for extracting and expanding mentions from the code related to notifications.
This doesn't change any behavior, only extracts code from ChatNotifier.
We were calling the job with a symbol as one of the values:
```ruby
Jobs.enqueue(
:send_message_notifications,
chat_message_id: 1,
timestamp: Time.now.iso8601(6),
reason: :new,
)
```
Which is a bad pattern as when the job serialisation will happen, `:new` will become `"new"` and you have to deal with a string in your job and not a symbol, which can be confusing and lead to bugs.
This commit fixes the UpdateUserLastRead spec which was checking
for a message ID that did not exist -- this could fail at times
since message ID 2 could exist. Better to create + destroy a message
since then it's guaranteed we have a unique ID.
This also attempts to clarify a step that we expect to fail which
succeeds instead by adding another emoji next to the success tick and
an explanation text.
Also removes some uses of unless in Services::Base, we generally prefer
to use alternatives, since unless can be hard to parse in a lot of
cases.

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**
This is a combined work of Martin Brennan, Loïc Guitaut, and Joffrey Jaffeux.

This commit implements a base service object when working in chat. The documentation is available at https://discourse.github.io/discourse/chat/backend/Chat/Service.html
Generating documentation has been made as part of this commit with a bigger goal in mind of generally making it easier to dive into the chat project.
Working with services generally involves 3 parts:
- The service object itself, which is a series of steps where few of them are specialized (model, transaction, policy)
```ruby
class UpdateAge
include Chat::Service::Base
model :user, :fetch_user
policy :can_see_user
contract
step :update_age
class Contract
attribute :age, :integer
end
def fetch_user(user_id:, **)
User.find_by(id: user_id)
end
def can_see_user(guardian:, **)
guardian.can_see_user(user)
end
def update_age(age:, **)
user.update!(age: age)
end
end
```
- The `with_service` controller helper, handling success and failure of the service within a service and making easy to return proper response to it from the controller
```ruby
def update
with_service(UpdateAge) do
on_success { render_serialized(result.user, BasicUserSerializer, root: "user") }
end
end
```
- Rspec matchers and steps inspector, improving the dev experience while creating specs for a service
```ruby
RSpec.describe(UpdateAge) do
subject(:result) do
described_class.call(guardian: guardian, user_id: user.id, age: age)
end
fab!(:user) { Fabricate(:user) }
fab!(:current_user) { Fabricate(:admin) }
let(:guardian) { Guardian.new(current_user) }
let(:age) { 1 }
it { expect(user.reload.age).to eq(age) }
end
```
Note in case of unexpected failure in your spec, the output will give all the relevant information:
```
1) UpdateAge when no channel_id is given is expected to fail to find a model named 'user'
Failure/Error: it { is_expected.to fail_to_find_a_model(:user) }
Expected model 'foo' (key: 'result.model.user') was not found in the result object.

Whenever we create a chat message that is `in_reply_to` another
message, we want to lazily populate the thread record for the
message chain.
If there is no thread yet for the root message in the reply chain,
we create a new thread with the appropriate details, and use that
thread ID for every message in the chain that does not yet have
a thread ID.
* Root message (ID 1) - no thread ID
* Message (ID 2, in_reply_to 1) - no thread ID
* When I as a user create a message in reply to ID 2, we create a thread and apply it to ID 1, ID 2, and the new message
If there is a thread for the root message in the reply chain, we
do not create one, and use the thread ID for the newly created chat
message.
* Root message (ID 1) - thread ID 700
* Message (ID 2, in_reply_to 1) - thread ID 700
* When I as a user create a message in reply to ID 2, we use the existing thread ID 700 for the new message
We also support passing in the `thread_id` to `ChatMessageCreator`,
which will be used when replying to a message that is already part of
a thread, and we validate whether that `thread_id` is okay in the context
of the channel and also the reply chain.
This work is always done, regardless of channel `thread_enabled` settings
or the `enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions` site setting.
This commit does not include a large data migration to backfill threads for
all existing reply chains, its unnecessary to do this so early in the project,
we can do this later if necessary.
This commit also includes thread considerations in the `MessageMover` class:
* If the original message and N other messages of a thread is moved,
the remaining messages in the thread have a new thread created in
the old channel and are moved to it.
* The reply chain is not preserved for moved messages, so new threads are
not created in the destination channel.
In addition to this, I added a fix to also clear the `in_reply_to_id` of messages
in the old channel which are moved out of that channel for data cleanliness.
Whenever we create a chat message that is `in_reply_to` another
message, we want to lazily populate the thread record for the
message chain.
If there is no thread yet for the root message in the reply chain,
we create a new thread with the appropriate details, and use that
thread ID for every message in the chain that does not yet have
a thread ID.
* Root message (ID 1) - no thread ID
* Message (ID 2, in_reply_to 1) - no thread ID
* When I as a user create a message in reply to ID 2, we create a thread and apply it to ID 1, ID 2, and the new message
If there is a thread for the root message in the reply chain, we
do not create one, and use the thread ID for the newly created chat

* Root message (ID 1) - thread ID 700
* Message (ID 2, in_reply_to 1) - thread ID 700
* When I as a user create a message in reply to ID 2, we use the existing thread ID 700 for the new message
We also support passing in the `thread_id` to `ChatMessageCreator`,
which will be used when replying to a message that is already part of
a thread, and we validate whether that `thread_id` is okay in the context
of the channel and also the reply chain.
This work is always done, regardless of channel `thread_enabled` settings
or the `enable_experimental_chat_threaded_discussions` site setting.
This commit does not include a large data migration to backfill threads for
all existing reply chains, its unnecessary to do this so early in the project,
we can do this later if necessary.
This commit also includes thread considerations in the `MessageMover` class:
* If the original message and N other messages of a thread is moved,
the remaining messages in the thread have a new thread created in
the old channel and are moved to it.
* The reply chain is not preserved for moved messages, so new threads are
not created in the destination channel.
In addition to this, I added a fix to also clear the `in_reply_to_id` of messages
in the old channel which are moved out of that channel for data cleanliness.
