This changes the "new private message" button to be instead "new
conversation" when looking at PMs, to avoid confusion that the button
was the right thing to do to reply to the current private message
conversation.
Fixes#11679.
This seems like a small change (apart from all the
test changes), but it fundamentally changes how
the app finds "topic" on message objects. Now
all code that used to set "subject" now sets "topic"
on message-like objects. We convert incoming messages
to have topic, and we write to "topic" all the way up
to hitting the server (which now accepts "topic" on
incoming endpoints).
We fall back to subject as needed, but the code will
emit a warning that should be heeded--the "subject"
field is prone to becoming stale for things like
topic changes.
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.
This continues the effort to isolate "subject" references
to util calls.
Also, we fix a comment.
Finally, we use canonicalized operators in a switch
statement.
If a user is narrowed by `is:private`, `pm-with`, or `group-pm-with`,
change the `New topic` button to say `New stream message` instead for
added clarity.
Also, add to the Casper and Node tests for this behavior.
Fix#9072.
Following points have been implemented in this commit:
1.) Add search pill on selecting typeahead.
2.) Re-narrow after removing a search pill.
3.) Add quiet optional parameter to removeLastPill.
4.) Pre populate search pills in narrow.activate.
5.) Clear existing search pills on narrow.deactivate.
Description of above points:
1.) I tried out using the description from suggestions.lookup_table
to append a pill using appendValidatedData so that the description
had not to be calculated again. But the description in the suggestions
lookup contains html due to highlighting. This html is escaped when
inputed in a pill. An attempt was also made to remove the higlighting
by replacing the tags. But other espaced characters like < also
popped up, so it was better to use append_search_string.
3.) If one wants to refresh the pill using pill.clear and wants to
repopulate them, evaluating the event_handler associated with the
action of removing the pill may not be desired.
4.) Pill population code is added to narrow.activate. Pills are not
populated if the narrow was triggered by search as search handles the
addition and removal of pill by itself. The reason for not handling
search too in narrow.activate is to avoid clearing the pills and
repopulating them. Example of some of the triggers for narrow.activate
include `restore draft`, `topic change`,`sidebar`.
Also modifies tests for search.js
This commit fixes a couple regression related to narrowing.
For a long time we've had bugs where we too aggressively
preserve the currrent selection on topic -> stream
re-narrows ("s" key) even when the wider narrow may
have unread messages before the selection.
Also, we recently introduced a bug so that when you used
a link from the "copy link to conversation" (aka a "near"
query), it would advance you to your first unread message
despite the near:999 specifier. (The code would work for
subsequent "near" queries once you had fetched some of
your original messages).
This commit introduces a new data structure called id_info (replacing
the select_strategy data structure) in various functions and uses that
to track all the ids of relevance.
Significantly rewritten by tabbott to handle a few extra corner cases,
and add a ton of comments explaining why it works the way it does.
Fixes#2091.
Fixes#9606.
We now work with MessageListData objects while populating
data from local narrows, before actually making the
wrapper MessageList object.
This change will simplify unit testing (less view stuff
to fake out) in certain situations.
It will also allow us to eliminate the delay_render flag.
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.)
The original version of this function was simulating kind
of an illogical code path, where -1 was sort of pointing to
a real message, which doesn't make sense.
Now we pass in an explicit then_select_id.
We consistently either pass a `then_select_id` into narrow.activate,
or were using the select_first_unread option. Now, we just compute
select_first_unread based on the value of then_select_id.
Apparently, we were incorrectly passing through something related to
opts.use_initial_narrow_pointer as the value for `use_first_anchor`.
If you read the logic in narrow.js carefully,
use_initial_narrow_pointer was unconditionally false.
The correct value for this attribute is when we're trying to narrow to
the first unread message in a given context. There are two things to
check:
* then_select_id is -1; i.e. we don't have a specific message ID we're
trying to narrow around.
* select_first_unread is True, i.e. we're trying to narrow to the
first unread message.
A bit more work should allow us to get rid of the second condition,
but I'm not quite confident enough to do that yet.
