This commit extract send_messages.js to clean up code related
to the following things:
* sending data to /json/report_send_time
* restarting the event loop if events don't arrive on time
The code related to /json/report changes the following ways:
* We track the state almost completely in the new
send_messages.js module, with other modules just
making one-line calls.
* We no longer send "displayed" times to the servers, since
we were kind of lying about them anyway.
* We now explicitly track the state of each single sent
message in its own object.
* We now look up data related to the messages by local_id,
instead of message_id. The problem with message_id was
that is was mutable. Now we use local_id, and we extend
the local_id concept to messages that don't get rendered
client side. We no longer need to react to the
'message_id_changed' event to change our hash key.
* The code used to live in many places:
* various big chunks were scattered among compose.js,
and those were all moved or reduced to one-line
calls into the new module
* echo.js continues to make basically one-line calls,
but it no longer calls compose.report_as_received(),
nor does it set the "start" time.
* message_util.js used to report received events, but
only when they finally got drawn in the home view;
this code is gone now
The code related to restarting the event loop if events don't arrive
changes as follows:
* The timer now gets set up from within
send_messages.message_state.report_server_ack,
where we can easily inspect the current state of the
possibly-still-in-flight message.
* The code to confirm that an event was received happens now
in server_events.js, rather than later, so that we don't
falsely blame the event loop for a downstream bug. (Plus
it's easier to just do it one place.)
This change removes a fair amount of code from our node tests. Some
of the removal is good stuff related to us completing killing off
unnecessary code. Other removals are more expediency-driven, and
we should make another sweep at ramping up our coverage on compose.js,
with possibly a little more mocking of the new `send_messages` code
layer, since it's now abstracted better.
There is also some minor cleanup to echo.resend_message() in this
commit.
See #5968 for a detailed breakdown of the changes.
I pushed a bunch of commits that attempted to introduce
the concept of `client_message_id` into our server, as
part of cleaning up our codepaths related to messages you
sent (both for the locally echoed case and for the host
case).
When we deployed this, we had some strange failures involving
double-echoed messages and issues advancing the pointer that appeared
related to #5779. We didn't get to the bottom of exactly why the PR
caused havoc, but I decided there was a cleaner approach, anyway.
This change has us tracking messages as soon as we start
sending the message to the server. The next step is to
reconfigure the timeouts a bit to deal with the server not
responding.
We now use a client-side message id to track the state of our
sent messages. This sets up future commits to start tracking
state earlier in the message's life cycle.
It also avoids ugly reify logic where we capture an event to
update our data structure to key on the server's message id
instead of the local id. That eliminates the node test as well.
Another node test gets deleted here, just because it's not
worth the trouble with upcoming refactorings.
This commit starts to decouple client_message_id from local_id.
We don't really take advantage of the decoupling in this
commit--in fact, it's a bit of a pain at first. But this should
be a fully working checkpoint commit.
This is mostly straightforward moving of code out of compose.js.
The code that was moved currently supports sending time
reports for sent messages, but we intend to grow out the new
module to track more state about sent messages.
The following function names in this commit are new, but their
code was basically pulled over verbatim:
process_success (was process_send_time)
set_timer_for_restarting_event_loop
clear
initialize
All the code in the new module is covered by previous tests that
had been written for compose.js. This commit only modifies
a few things to keep those tests.
The new module has 100% node coverage, so we updated `enforce_fully_covered`.
