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
In the ChannelViewBuilder, we introduced a check to see if
the target message exists, which errors if the message has
been trashed. However if the user is the creator of the message
or admin then they are able to see trashed messages, so
we need to take this into account.
Followup to c908eeacc9
Instead of using the latest message ID in the channel, which
could cause issues if you have an earlier last read message ID
that matches the deleted one, instead we use the first non-deleted
message that comes before the deleted message by ID.
Followup ae3231e140, when a
message is trashed we already update the lastReadMessageId of
all users in the channel to the latest non-deleted message on
the server side. However we didn't propagate this to the client,
so in some cases when we did the following:
1. Delete the last message in the channel
2. Switch to another channel
3. Switch back to the original
We would get a 404 error from the target message ID being looked
up still being the old lastReadMessageId (now deleted) for the
user's channel membership.
All we need to do is send the last not-deleted message ID for
the channel (or thread) to all the member users.
It easier to check for presence in this case that to check for something not present, as depending on performance of the machine running the test this could take sometime to be changed and the test would fail.
This issue was especially visible in tests. the `@debounce(100)` was not cancelled when changing channel which was causing 404s as we were trying to load messages on a channel which was deleted as the channel has been destroyed at the end of the test.
This is still not a perfect solution, as we can only cancel the start of `fetchMessages`, but we can't cancel the actual `chatApi.channel` request which result can potentially happens after channel changed, which we try to mitigate with various checks on to ensure visible channel == loaded messages channel.
This commit also tries to make handler naming and cancelling more consistent.

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.
- few improved alignments
- displays emoji picker button inline on desktop
- keeps composer focused when focusing dropdown button
- align buttons to bottom when increasing height of textarea
- max-height of textarea is now linked to the height of the screen

This commit moves message lookup and querying to the
/chat/api/channel/:id endpoint and adds the ability
to query the tracking state overview for threads as well
as the threads and thread tracking state for any thread
original messages found.
This will allow us to get an initial overview of thread
tracking for a user when they first enter a channel, rather
than pre-emptively loading N threads and tracking state
for those across all channels on the current user serializer,
which would be expensive.
This initial overview will be used in subsequent PRs to
flesh out the thread unread indicators in the UI.
This also moves many chunks of code that were in services
to reusable Query classes, since use of services inside
services is discouraged.
Regressed in eec10efc3d. It means that backend plugin spec failures in CI were not failing the spec suite.
Fixes recent regressions and skips two of them - to be handled next week.

- 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 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.
The failure screenshot shows the message is on screen while the error is:
```
Failure/Error: example.run
expected to find text "My favorite message" in "Community\nEverything\nMy Posts\nMore\nMessages\nInbox\nChannels\nPolitics 1\nPersonal chat\nPolitics 1". (However, it was found 1 time including non-visible text.)
```
I expect the arrow element might e slightly hiding the link, but not 100% sure of this.
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).
This issue was for example possibly causing the last visit indicator to be reset by `sent` messages events.
The following was happening:
- a user (bob) had a last message bus ID of 1 on a channel (id:1) subscription
- bob then go to another channel (id:2), unsubscribing from updates of channel (id:1)
- another user (laura) then send messages to channel (id:1)
- bob goes back to channel (id:1)
At this point we we doing in the same sequence:
- loading channel with messages, getting a new last message bus id
- subscribing to updates using the last known message bus id
Most of the times we were lucky enough for this to work (no events while away, or just got the new id in time...) but it was also very likely to do a double fetch of messages as MessageBus would think we were late.
A chat message may be restored later, so we shouldn't be deleting `chat_mentions` records for it.
But we still have to remove notifications (see 082cd139).
This commit fixes the shift+click multi selection in threads. We were not correctly using the manager of the message and would attempt to find messages in the channel instead of the thread.
The `activeThread` was also not correctly set sometimes.
Also adds tests for message selection in threads.
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
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.

Since we have channel message retention which deletes
messages, we can end up with cases where the thread
is still around but the message is deleted. We will
handle the cascade delete in a different commit --
for now we will ensure the thread list lookup handles
this case and doesn't error.
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.
The spec now checks we are in the state we expect to be before clicking bottom button. The bottom button could show while it's still loading and on slow systems cause failures.
Checking "uploading" string is tricky because it both takes time before showing, and when it will show it will show for a short period of time. I prefer to reduce the surface tested here while still getting some confidence out of it and making the test more reliable.
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.
- `ChatChannel`
- `UserChatChannelMembership`
Also creates a new `chat-direct-message` model used as the object for the`chatable` property of the `ChatChannel` when the `ChatChannel` is a direct message channel. When the chatable is a category a real `Category` object will now be returned.
Archive state of a `ChatChannel` is now hold in a `ChatChannelArchive` object.
When we were deleting messages in chat, we would find all of
the UserChatChannelMembership records that had a matching
last_read_message_id and set that column to NULL.
This became an issue when multiple users had that deleted message
set to their last_read_message_id. When we called ChannelUnreadsQuery
to get the unread count for each of the user's channels, we were
COALESCing the last_read_message_id and returning 0 if it was NULL,
which meant that the unread count for the channel would be the total
count of the messages not sent by the user in that channel.
This was particularly noticeable for DM channels since we show
the count with the indicator in the header. This issue would disappear
as soon as the user opened the problem channel, because we would then
set the last_read_message_id to an actual ID.
To circumvent this, instead of NULLifying the last_read_message_id in
most cases, it makes more sense to just set it to the most recent
non-deleted chat message ID for the channel. The only time it will
be set to NULL now is when there are no more other messages in the
channel.
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.
When hovering a thread indicator in a channel we will now append two `<link rel="preload" ...>` to the `<head>` of the document. Clicking on it should be significantly faster.

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
See e323628d8a for more details.
This commit speeds up the tests by roughly 10 seconds locally where the
default wait time is 2 seconds. On CI, this speeds up the tests by 20
seconds where the default wait time is 4 seconds.
* FIX: Link to thread for mentions inside thread
When mentioning a user in a thread, when we send the
notification and display it in the UI we want the URL
of the notification to point to the thread URL to open
the panel, rather than the main channel which is confusing.
For now, we don't have a way to highlight the linked-to message
in the thread, we can revisit this later.
* FIX: Mark mention notifications read when thread opens
Since we have no scrolling/message visibility/thread membership
for now, when a user opens the thread panel we just want to mark
all mention notifications relating to messages in the thread
for the user as read.
It seems more reliable to revert state at the end of the it block. In another PR I noticed that the network state was leaking in other tests when I was reverting in the after block.
Also trashes a suspicious spec.
