This behavior is hard to test as it's mostly fixing a race condition: User A sends a message at the same time than User B, which as a result doesn't cause a scroll for the second message and we don't update last read unless we do a small up and down scroll.
`updateLastRead` is debounced so it has no direct consequences to call it slightly more often than what should ideally be needed.
This fix uses direct `scrollTop` manipulation instead of `scrollIntoView` when we are certain we actually want the bottom of the screen. This avoids a range of issues especially in safari but also chrome where the scroll position was not correct at the end of `scrollIntoView`, especially due to images.
- Will consider a message read only one the bottom of the message has been read
- Will allow to mark a message bigger than the view port as read
- Code should be more performant as the scroll is doing less (albeit more often)
- Gives us a very precise scroll state. Problem with throttling scroll is that you could end up never getting the even where scrollTop is at 0, opening a whole range of edge cases to handle
When we introduced `existingUploads` as an arg to the
ChatComposerUploads component, we also introduced a bug where
if multiple uploads were being done at once, and the draft
was saved, then because of didReceiveAttrs we would cancel
the currently uploading files because the draft uploads became
the existingUploads.
To work around this, since we do want to keep this on didReceiveAttrs
for cases when the user opens a draft or edits another message,
the easiest thing to do is to just not save uploads into the chat
draft if there are still uploads in progress. That way only when
all uploads are complete do we make them a part of the draft.
There is a small risk that the user could do something to lose
their uploads in the draft, but it's a better gamble to have
that happen rather than in progress uploads to be cancelled
while the user is waiting for them to be done because of the
draft.
Also changes the uploads system spec back to the old way of
attaching multiple files since that is why it was failing.
- group writes when computing separators positions
- shows skeleton only on initial load
- forces date separator to be pinned when first message to prevent a pinned - not pinned - pinned sequence when loading more in past
- relies on `message.visible` property instead of checking `isElementInViewport`
- attempts to load next/prev messages earlier
- do not scroll to on fetch more
- hides `last visit` text while pinned
Note this test my prove to be flakey, so I might have to remove it or find a different solution. It's extremely complicated to test for something which shouldn't appear in a period of time and is not a present at T=0
This PR is introducing glimmer usage in the chat-live-pane, for components but also for models. RestModel usage has been dropped in favor of native classes.
Other changes/additions in this PR:
sticky dates, scrolling will now keep the date separator of the current section at the top of the screen
better unread management, marking a channel as unread will correctly mark the correct message and not mark the whole channel as read. Tracking state will also now correctly return unread count and unread mentions.
adds an animation on bottom arrow
better scrolling behavior, we should now always correctly keep the scroll position while loading more
reactions are now more reactive, and will update their tooltip without needed to close/reopen it
skeleton has been improved with placeholder images and reactions
when making a reaction on the desktop message actions, the menu won't move anymore
simplify logic and stop maintaining a list of unloaded messages

This commit is expanding on previous work making everything chat working through an URL.
Improves drawer templates to be all URLs
Implements some kind of router for the drawer
Removes few remaining actions for opening channels
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**
First follow-up to the feature introduced in #19034. We don't want to pollute main components like `chat-live-pane`, so we'll use a service to track and manage the state needed to display before-send warnings while composing a chat message.
We also move from acceptance tests to system specs.
This commit is a series of fixes to improve stability of system tests following the use of threadsafe:
* Jobs.run_immediately in before block was causing issues
* During test a js error could be caused by an undefined this.details in chat-live-pane
* Apply the chat composer click trick everywhere when sending a message, it ensures we are not hiding anything with autocomplete
* There was another case not using send_message yet
Recent changes surfaced the various issues with this codepath:
- we were not correctly reseting `messageLookup` leading to us trying to scroll to a non existing message in the view
- we were calling markAsRead which would scroll to the bottom, even if we had a target message
- we were not debouncing fetchMessages, which could cause multiple reload of the messages when loading it with a targetMessageId: first fetch from last read and then immediately fetch from targetMessageId
- other naming inconsistencies
- not handling drawer
This commit also adds tests for classic scenarios related to this use case.
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

1. "What Goes Up Must Come Down" – if you subscribe to message bus, make sure you also unsubscribe
2. When you unsubscribe - remove only your subscription, not **all** subscriptions on given channel
Attempt #2. The first attempt tried to extend a core `@bound` method in new-user-narrative plugin which did not work. I reworked that plugin in the meantime. This new PR also cleans up message bus subscriptions in now core-merged chat plugin.
* 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 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.
- better handling of drawer state using chat state manager
- removes various float and topic occurrences to use drawer
- ensures user can chat before doing a lot of chat setup
- fixes a bug which was creating presence errors in tests
- removes dead code
- Note this is also tweaking the UI a little bit as we are now using links/buttons in the header as needed
- It disables the find ideal channel in drawer mode, if loading `/chat` in drawer mode it will either reopen at the last position or just stay on index
Clicking a link of the sidebar will now open the drawer and load the correct channel.
This solution should correctly solve these cases:
closing drawer, clicking sidebar channel, should open the drawer on correct channel
visiting /chat then visiting / and clicking sidebar channel, should open full page chat on correct channel
This commits makes sure we correctly wait for the end of the transition to reopen the drawer on the correct channel/view. Also fixes a bug when previous URL was `/` and causing a double transition.
Also adds end to end system tests to ensure navigation scenarios are working correctly. This separation will make it easier to implement state in/out from chat.
Doing DOM operations in finally would cause them to happen even when the request was a failure. Consequence of these DOM operations would be new request, which would also end up in a 404, and so on.
This commit simply moves the DOM operations in the then block where it should be safe to make.
