Why this change?
`expect(page.title).to starts_with("...")` does not rely on capybara
waiters. This commit switches us to use `have_title` instead which will
rely on Capybara waiters.
The expected behavior when receiving a message is the following:
- if user is at the bottom of the screen, scroll and append message
- if user is not at the bottom of the screen, don't scroll, show arrow and don't append message
This commit fixes an issue where the following happens:
1. You open /admin as a member of the admin_sidebar_enabled_groups
1. You then click the chat icon in the header when you prefer to have
drawer open, or if you just minimise chat into drawer after it opens
fullscreen
1. You lose the admin sidebar panel, and are reset instead to the main
panel
Also included is a bit of refactoring to make it so the forcing of
admin sidebar state is in one place.
Prior to this change we would pre-load all the user channels which making initial page load slower. This change will make them be loaded right after initial load. In the past this was not possible as the channels would have to be loaded on each page transition. However since about a year, we made the channels to be cached on the frontend and no other request will be needed.
I have decided for now to not show a loading state in the sidebar as I think it would be noise, but we can reconsider this later.
Note given we don't have the channels loaded at first certain things where harder to accomplish. The biggest UX change of this commit is that we removed all the complex logic of computing the best channel to display when you load /chat. We will now store the id of the last channel you visited and will use this id to decide which channel to show.
On mobile, when viewing the My Threads area, each thread will show:
- The avatar of the last responder in the thread, overlaid with the chat thread symbol to visually distinguish this area from DMs.
- Either the thread title, where applicable, or the first message of the thread, truncated to fit on one line.
- The channel where the thread originated.
- The last message sent in the thread, truncated to fit on one line.
- When the last message was sent in the thread.

Forcing a thread will work even in channel which don't have `threading_enabled` or in direct message channels.
For now this feature is only available through the `ChatSDK`:
```ruby
ChatSDK::Message.create(in_reply_to_id: 1, guardian: guardian, raw: "foo bar baz", channel_id: 2, force_thread: true)
```
Prior to this fix if a user had started to reply to a message without actually sending a message, the thread would still be created and we would end up listing it in the threads list of a channel.
This commit also improves adds thread and thread_replies_count to the 4th parameter of the chat_message_created event.

Prior to this fix we were checking if user was not part of a group which allows to chat, but we were not checking if this user was part of groups who can use direct messages.
Prior to this fix clicking <kbd>x</kdb> on a channel row would effectively leave the channel on server side, but it wouldn't disappear from the screen before a page refresh.
`chat_preferred_mobile_index` allows to set the preferred default tab when loading chat on mobile.
Current choices are:
- channels
- direct_messages
- my_threads
Prior to this fix, if the last message of a thread had been made by a deleted user it would cause an exception as we would have no user to display, this commit uses a solution we have been using at other places: the null pattern, through the use of `Chat::NullUser.new`.
Prior to this fix the scroll was ignored when clicking the arrow bottom which would prevent the call to update last read. This fix manually calls update last read in this case and adds a test for it.
In safe mode plugins are not loaded, so the plugin admin
routes are not loaded. This was causing errors in the
admin sidebar because we are trying to show links to the plugin
admin routes.
This fixes the issue by just not adding the plugin links if
we are in safe mode.
Why this change?
We noticed that running `LOAD_PLUGINS=1 rspec --seed=38855 plugins/chat/spec/system/chat_new_message_spec.rb` locally
results in the system tests randomly failing. When we inspected the
request logs closely, we noticed that a `/presence/get` request from a
previous rspec example was being processed when a new rspec example is
already being run. We know it was from the previous rspec example
because inspecting the auth token showed the request using the auth
token of a user from the previous example. However, when a request using
an auth token from a previous example is used it ends up logging out the
same user on the server side because the user id in the cookie is the same
due to the use of `fab!`.
I did some research and there is apparently no way to wait until all
inflight requests by the browser has completed through capybara or
selenium. Therefore, we will add an identifier by attaching a cookie to all non-xhr requests so that
xhr requests which are triggered subsequently will contain the cookie in the request.
In the `BlockRequestsMiddleware` middleware, we will then reject any
requests when the value of the identifier in the cookie does not match the current rspec's example
location.
To see the problem locally, change `Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider.find_v1_auth_cookie` to the following:
```
def self.find_v1_auth_cookie(env)
return env[DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE] if env.key?(DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE)
env[DECRYPTED_AUTH_COOKIE] = begin
request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(env)
cookie = request.cookies[TOKEN_COOKIE]
# don't even initialize a cookie jar if we don't have a cookie at all
if cookie&.valid_encoding? && cookie.present?
puts "#{env["REQUEST_PATH"]} #{request.cookie_jar.encrypted[TOKEN_COOKIE]&.with_indifferent_access}"
request.cookie_jar.encrypted[TOKEN_COOKIE]&.with_indifferent_access
end
end
end
```
After which run the following command: `LOAD_PLUGINS=1 rspec --format documentation --seed=38855 plugins/chat/spec/system/chat_new_message_spec.rb`
It takes a few tries but the last spec should fail and you should see something like this:
```

Note how the `/presence/get` request is using a token from the previous example.

We have separated and combined modes for sidebar panels.
Separated means the panels show only their own sections,
combined means sections from all panels are shown.
The admin sidebar only shows its own panels, so it must set
the mode to separated; however when we navigate to chat or
home we must revert to the initial mode setttings.
When hiding/showing the sidebar, as is the case on mobile
and using the toggle in the top left on desktop, we delete
and recreate the ember component on the page. This causes
the `sections` for each sidebar panel to get re-evaluated
every time.
For the admin sidebar, this means that we were constantly
re-adding the plugin links to the sidebar, causing duplication.
This can be fixed by just adding @cached to the getter for
sections.
This feature adds the functionality to start a new chat directly from the URL using query params.
The format is: /chat/new-message?recipients=buford,jona
The initial version of this feature allows for the following:
- Open an existing direct message channel with a single user
- Create a new direct message channel with a single user (and auto redirect)
- Create or open a channel with multiple users (and auto redirect)
- Redirects to chat home if the recipients param is missing
Why this change?
The tests are consistently flaky and failing with the following error:
```
CapybaraTimeoutExtension::CapybaraTimedOut:
This spec passed, but capybara waited for the full wait duration (10s) at least once. This will slow down the test suite. Beware of negating the result of selenium's RSpec matchers.
```
The service `Chat::CreateMessage` will now accept `context_post_ids` and `context_topic_id` as params. These values represent the topic which might be visible when sending a message (for now, this is only possible when using the drawer).
The `DiscourseEvent` `chat_message_created` will now have the following signature:
```ruby
on(:chat_message_created) do | message, channel, user, meta|
p meta[:context][:post_ids]
end
```
Channels can include emojis in front of the channel title which causes problems when sorting.
Using the channel slug is a more reliable way to sort and avoid these kind of issues.
This change will sort channels by activity on mobile, with preference to those with urgent or unread messages.
Channels with mentions will appear first, followed by channels with unread messages, then finally everything else sorted by the channel title (alphabetically).
This commit includes several changes to make hashtags work when "lazy
load categories" is enabled. The previous hashtag implementation use the
category colors CSS variables, but these are not defined when the site
setting is enabled because categories are no longer preloaded.
This commit implements two fundamental changes:
1. load colors together with the other hashtag information
2. load cooked hashtag data asynchronously
The first change is implemented by adding "colors" to the HashtagItem
model. It is a list because two colors are returned for subcategories:
the color of the parent category and subcategory.
The second change is implemented on the server-side in a new route
/hashtags/by-ids and on the client side by loading previously unseen
hashtags, generating the CSS on the fly and injecting it into the page.
There have been minimal changes outside of these two fundamental ones,
but a refactoring will be coming soon to reuse as much of the code
and maybe favor use of `style` rather than injecting CSS into the page,
which can lead to page rerenders and indefinite grow of the styles.
Chat mobile has separate routes for channels and direct messages. However on desktop we want to prevent these routes from being accessible as they aren't intended to be used by chat in full-page or drawer mode on desktop.
This commit adds a link to the original message of a thread, this link will:
- load the channel message and highlight it while keeping thread panel open on desktop
- open the channel and highlight the message in mobile (and close thread panel, as mobile never shows channel and thread in the same view)

This change adds notification badges to the new footer tabs on mobile chat, to help users easily find areas where there’s new activity to review.
When on mobile chat:
- Show a badge on the DMs footer when there is unread activity in DMs.
- Show a badge on the Channels footer tab when there is unread channel activity.
- Show a badge on the Threads footer tab when there is unread activity in a followed thread.
- Notification badges should be removed once the unread activity is viewed.
Additionally this change will:
- Show green notification badges for channel mentions or DMs
- Show blue notification badges for unread messages in channels or threads
