To make the typeahead code more readable, we extract this function to
timerender. We also improve the logic to be more readable, and add tests
to confirm its validity.
We have moved our invalid timestamp logic to use timestamp-error class,
however, if there are any valid outputs by the backend markdown that
the frontend considers invalid, we want to debug them. This commit
adds tooling to ensure we log those error messages.
We had been using !time() syntax for timestamps so far. Since its
an unreleased feature, we can make changes without affecting many
people.
Fixes#15442.
This commit fixes a bug where clicking on a stream row on the left
in the subscriptions table called the ".stream-row" as well as the
".sub_unsub_button" click events in `stream_edit.js`.
This caused the stream subscription to toggle everytime the row was
clicked. Also, this bug is only observed if the ".sub_unsub_button"
had been clicked first.
The previous element passed was a simplebar container which calculated
the incorrect height, thus `scroll_util.scroll_element_into_container`
had no effect.
There is a bug and race issue that occurs when a message is selected
while we are in the process of reifying a locally echoed message,
raising the "Selected message id not in MessageList" error.
The code flow to get the exception is as follows:
* A user sends a message to the current narrow we are in.
* Before the new message event is received, we sent a message to
the same message list which renders it with a locally echoed id.
* One of the ways of getting the exception is to already have the
locally sent message selected, before receiving an acknowledgment
from the server.
* Thus the Message List Data's `selected_id` now points to the new
message id. The exception is raised on entering the `was_selected`
if block inside `message_list_view` which tries to re-select the
message.
Updating the `_rerender_message` code for this special case won't fix
the entire bug because, as mentioned above there are other ways of
getting the exception:
Ideally, after all our synchronous work (`echo.process_from_server`)
has completed we would expect the re-order and re-render work of the
`change_message_id` would occur first, due to the timer of the
setTimeout being set to 0.
However as evident from the race condition existing, this isn't always
the case. `change_message_id` function is responsible for 3 things:
updation, re-ordering and re-rendering.
The first one which is responsible for updating the message list's
local cache, occurs synchronously while for the latter two, they both
occur asynchronously.
Before the setTimeout which is responsible for the latter two actions,
is encountered the user might select the message by clicking or more
commonly by scrolling, which causes this message selection event to be
ahead of the setTimeout in the callback queue.
During this time frame, our race condition takes place.
And even though the message id is updated it's Message List is not
in the correct sort order, which leads to `closest_id` !== `id` in
`MessageList_select_id` being true and raising the exception.
Now, we only asynchronously call the re_render function, to guarantee
the data is always correct and UI updates should be done at the end.
Extended by tabbott to comment the setTimeout call.
Fixes#15346.
We change validate_stream_message to check the existence of stream from
the stream name in compose box early and we then pass stream_id or the
obtained sub objects accordingly to other validate functions.
Passing stream_id or sub objects to these functions, enables us to use
stream_id instead of stream name in stream_data.get_subscriber_count.
stream_data.get_stream_post_policy is also removed as we only used it in
validate_stream_message_policy, but we do not need it now as we can get
stream_post_policy directly from sub object obtained by early check of
valid stream name.
This commits add data-stream-id attribute to the compose_invite_users
template. This helps in avoiding the error that occured if user
clicked the link after renaming of stream.
As a result of above changes, the checks for empty and invalid stream
name in compose box are done in warn_if_mentioning_unsubscribed_user
function instead of needs_subscribe_warning function.
Prior to this commit whenever convert was imported from zerver.lib.markdown
it was aliased as markdown_convert for readability.
This commit rename convert function to markdown_convert so that it can be
directly import it without aliasing and without compromising readability.
