Some features from live_chat have been moved to the mail module :
- channels now have members, replacing followers;
- a decorated m2m is used to link channels and members. It stores the last
seen message on the channel for a specific partner;
- channels do not create menu entries anymore, because the
NewChatter will have its own display and use of channels;
- access rights have been updated accordingly, using members instead of
followers
Followers can now be partners or channels. Partners following a document
will receive needaction, as previously. However people can follow documents
through channels. Members of a channel are able to listen to a stream
of messages using the channel. Those messages do not create needaction
messages. It is therefore possible to follow documents without receiving
too much notifications. For interesting documents subscribing with its
partner will create notification.
message_follower_ids fields is udpated. It is now a many2many to
mail.followers, not to res.partner anymore. A subscription can be either
a partner (partner_id) or a channel (channel_id).
Some access rules have been updated accordingly.
model has been renamed to mail.channel to prepare the slack modeling.
In future commits the mail.group model will be merged with the channel
model from im_chat. The first move is to rename mail.group into
mail.channel to have a model that will unite both features.
Some tests (e.g. mail) have expensive and significant DB setup for a
number of small and cheap tests. Using a TransactionCase, the DB setup
far dominates the tests themselves, by up to 10x (mail unit tests take
~130s on my machine, the tests themselves take ~15s).
The SavepointCase introduced here is an hybrid of SingleTransactionCase
and TransactionCase: it uses a single transaction for all tests in a
class, but each test case is isolated by a rollbacked savepoint. This
allows a common DB setup (via setUpClass) while keeping independent
tests.
TransactionCase should remain the primary test case superclass, but
SavepointCase can be a fair optimisation when setup costs far dominate.
Tests have been migrated to the new api to prepare the migration of the
mail module itself. Moreover tests have been cleaned: redundant tests
and unnecessary tests have been removed.
As the base test class in mail is used in other addons, other addons
have been updated :
- portal
- project
- portal_project
- website_project_issue
- sale
- purchase
Future commits will come with somes fixes for issues detected when cleaning
the tests.
Replaced some read by browse
Moved get_reply_to from mail_mail to mail_message
Hint: specifying email_from, reply_to help to enhance computation time
[REF] mail: cleaned some tests, renamed a file, moved mail_group tests into a dedicated file
