The approach taken here is basically use user IDs in operator that
support it when sending the request for fetching the messages
(see comments in code for more details).
We now have two functions:
add_new_messages
add_old_messages
This is a lot easier on the eyes, and it will also
prevent us from exceeding line length in future commits.
We also remove an unneeded stub in the narrow_activate
tests.
When there is some error in connecting to server(more specifically to the
tornado server) the "Unable to connect to Zulip" connection error message
gets cleared as Django server could send the response of "get" request of
old messages and hence get_old_messages_success hides the error message
even though the connection is not properly established.
Fixes: #5599.
We used to have positional parameters for table_name
and filter, but we don't use them for message_list.all
and we're about to replace filter in some cases.
Passing everything in on opts is more consistent and
self-documenting in the calling code, plus lots of
unit tests can get away with passing in `{}` now
for situations where table_name does not matter.
All of our callers pass in muting_enabled, so we
remove the default value for it. And then the
collapse_messages variable doesn't have to live on
`this` as it's only being passed through down to the
view.
This run_test helper sets up a convention that allows
us to give really short tracebacks for errors, and
eventually we can have more control over running
individual tests. (The latter goal has some
complications, since we often intentionally leak
setup in tests.)
Most of this was straightforward.
Most functions that were grabbed verbatim and whole from
the original class still have one-line wrappers.
Many functions are just-the-data versions of functions that
remain in MessageList: see add, append, prepend, remove as
examples. In a typical pattern the MessageList code becomes
super simple:
prepend: function MessageList_prepend(messages) {
var viewable_messages = this.data.prepend(messages);
this.view.prepend(viewable_messages);
},
Two large functions had some minor surgery:
triage_messages =
top half of add_messages +
API to pass three lists back
change_message_id =
original version +
two simple callbacks to list
For the function update_muting_and_rerender(), we continue
to early-exit if this.muting_enabled is false, and we copied
that same defensive check to the new function
named update_items_for_muting(), even though it's technically
hidden from that codepath by the caller.
This tests the initialize() function for now.
It goes deep on this:
* uses "mostly real" message lists
* asserts on fetch parameters
It stubs out many modules that aren't really central to
the logic of fetching. In particular, when messages are
processed, we notify things like the buddy list that messages
have been added.
