Revision on bus refactoring: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/6448420c5dd160470e465dee7729d19d8d5e7bab
Before this commit, when a user was disconnected for a very long
time, he would receive lots of chat notifications on his next login.
Here is an example of weird behaviour with this issue:
- User folds and unfolds a chat window 50 times
- User disconnects for more than 50 seconds
- User reconnects
==> the chat window rapidly folds and unfolds itself 50 times!
This issue comes from the fact that after 50 seconds without any
longpolling, the web client ignores the last tracked notification
and sents the ID `-1` to the server.
The web client always provides a notification ID to the server
on a `longpolling/poll`. Usually, the server returns all
notifications of the user with an ID greater than the provided ID.
There is an exception with ID `0`, in which all notifications since
the last connection of the user are returned.
The cause of the issue is a mismatch of the special notification
ID between the server and the web client. For the web client, the
ID `-1` is used for not tracking any notification, whereas the
server uses the ID `0` for this case. As a result, when the server
receives the value `-1`, it returns all notifications having an ID
greater than `-1`. In other words, it returns all notifications
related to this user, even the ones received long time ago!
This commit fixes the issue by enforcing the special notification ID
`0` on both the webclient and server.
Note that this logic is similar to 11.0:
- The webclient uses the ID `-1` most of the time to define 'untracked':
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/11.0/addons/bus/static/src/js/bus.js#L154
- However, it passes the ID `0` to the server:
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/11.0/addons/bus/static/src/js/bus.js#L193
The purpose of this change is to make the code clearer and testable.
In this change, the 'tab_manager' static object was merged with the bus
cross tab.
Cleaning was done to clearly define private and public functions as well
as handlers. The methods are documented and the constants are now defined
on the class. The bus use the service behavior with 'trigger_up'.
'bus.CrossTab' who extend 'bus.Longpolling' are instantiated by the
bus service.
The class is always instantiated with a parent, or root in the case of the website
(im_livechat), to use the ajax and localstorage services. So the behavior, perhaps
logger or redefined by the parents.
