The `_update` of some components must take place before the `_update`
of other (usually sibling) components that might directly influence their
layout. This is in particular the case for `_update` that are relying on height.
Prevent force save of scroll position if there are pending hints to adjust it,
and prevent pending hints from overriding new scroll value.
Prevent flicker with message date.
This should fix all known issues related to incorrectly saving or restoring
scroll position.

This PR has 3 parts:
The members fix itself, which is necessary for performance reasons especially
at init messaging, as per described in the task.
Adding the partner name in the typing payload, because due to not knowing all
members anymore, it is necessary to properly display who is typing.
Restrict restoring scroll position only if the corresponding scroll height is
available, to make the scroll feature and particularly the corresponding tests
more robust.

When the pending value is the same as the current server value, the pending
value should be ignored and no RPC should be done.
In particular this prevents a non-main tab from calling the RPC when receiving
a bus notification that would lead to closing a chat window, which in turn used
to call the close RPC again before this commit.
This led to inconsistencies especially on the main tab, if the chat window was
requested to be open again after the initial close, but before the "secondary"
close, it would end up closing instead of opening.
The current commit reduces the issue and prevents as many unnecessary RPC as
there are tabs open, which is a good improvement.
But it does not negate it completely. Indeed, when quickly closing then opening
the same chat window, it might still happen for network reasons that the RPC or
the corresponding bus notifications are received in the wrong order. This is
less frequent both functionally (to click so fast) and technically (to have the
network that slow) at the same time, so it is considering acceptable / out of
scope.
The opportunity is taken to clean up the code by removing unnecessary fields and
making use of compute and flux specific RPC instead of `_updateAfter`.

Before this commit, the "to followers" message inside the chatter composer was
missing.
Fix also some padding issue.
This also restore the form dialog when you try to send a message to a suggested
recipient that doesn't have a partner (someone in CC email for eg).
But now, suggested recipient without partner are unchecked by default and the
form open when the user try to check them. If the user discard the form dialog,
the suggested recipient isn't checked.
This is better since only a partner will receive a notification.

This is typically not the case in production code, but it doesn't hurt to be
safe. The main reason for the change however is that it causes issues in tests
due to the easiest way to simulate notifications being to send them directly on

This commit is a significant rewriting of client-side discuss, chatter,
chat window, and messaging menu using OWL. The behavior should be broadly
the same, with some slight functional changes here and there.
From a technical standpoint, the code of messaging is mainly organized in 2
main groups of modules:
- models, which are logical entities that depict the client-side state of
messaging as a whole.
- components, which are in charge of displaying information from models.
This refactoring also introduces new JS guidelines regarding folder structure
(/static) and naming rules for JS modules.

Update the 'createDisuss' helper to be appended to the DOM using 'dom.prepend' to
benefit of its 'on_(attach|detach)_callback' calls. This allows the mail test suite
environment to be closer to the actual action behaviour (having those methods called
each time it is created/destroyed).
Some tests in which these methods were manually called have been adapted.
Also, one of the tests was destroying the action too quickly and exposed an issue
within the Discuss action, in the 'on_detach_callback' method. It has thus been
fixed as well.
1. Test utils helpers adapted to properly instantiate the new Owl control panel
2. New file 'test_utils_control_panel' to create a control panel and use helpers
3. New helper: createComponent (creates a generic component, see jsdoc)
4. Use of the new helpers in the current tests (more in sibling commits)
5. Helper 'addMockEnvironment' is now asynchronous
6. Owl config mode set to 'dev' in test suite (props validation)

General cleaning of some helpers and generic files. The idea is that they are
less likely to be entirely re-written in the near future so this is a way to
keep the code clean, readable and compliant to the current standards. Changes include:
- Use of async/await when possible
- Use of const/let instead of var
- Removal of underscore.js
- Use of native JS instead of jQuery when possible
The logic of the affected code remains the same.
Before this commit, when navigating from test environment (e.g.
page reload), it crashed with following error:
`TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object`
This error comes from mocked bus services in tests: even when they
have been destroyed, they handle the window event 'unload'. They
no longer have a parented parent, so `this.call()` returns
`undefined`, hence the crash.
This commit prevents mocked bus services to listen on window 'unload'
event. Tests must always simulate this window event by explicitly
calling the handler.

The activity view has been refactored and improved so the qunit test
suite needed to be adapted.
More tests have also been added to test new features (progressbar,
schedule an activity, etc.) and the method 'get_activity' has been
correctly mocked (the result was previously hardcoded).
Task 1894990
We want to avoid that a `setTimeout` started in one test has an impact on other
tests. This is especially true with the status update loop. Since mail_service
is used in multiple tests, the safest solution is to patch timeouts everytime
we make a call to getMailServices.
There is no need for an unpatch, the patch become the default behaviour until
the page is refresh at the end of tests.
It is possible to manually add the patch after calling `getMailServices`
```
this.services = mailTestUtils.getMailServices(this);
this.timeoutMock = mailTestUtils.patchMailTimeouts();
```
This can be usefull if we want to get the timeoutMock to simulate time changes.

It tracks received and seen messages for all members of the channel.
Icon is either 1 or 2 check(s) ('v' or 'vv').
Those are the different states of this 'seen' icon:
ICON: DESCRIPTION:
no check .................. no one has received the message.
1 check ................... some members have received the
message, no one has seen it.
2 checks (greyed-out) ..... some members have seen the message,
some or everyone has received it
2 checks (green) .......... all members have seen the message
This icon is not shown for messages preceding the last message seen
by everyone, in order to reduce visual noise.
Task-ID 1881001
This rev. introduces robust helpers to use in the JS tests suite to
interact with DOM and components, and starts using them (almost)
everywhere.
All the helpers are exposed though testUtils.js.
There are 2 kinds of helpers:
1. Assertions
-------------
* assert.containsNone, containsN, containsOnce check that the DOM
(or a specific part of the DOM) contains a `selector`. It
generates a correct error message automatically.
ex: assert.strictEqual(form.$('.o_form_editable'), 1, "msg");
-> assert.containsOnce(form, '.o_form_editable');
* assert.isVisible, isNotVisible check that the DOM has an element
visible or not. They also check that the element is actually in
the DOM (before most tests didn't verify this).
* assert.hasClass, doesNotHaveClass, hasAttrVAlue, check specific
properties of a DOM element, and also validate that it is
applied on a single existing DOM element (before most tests
didn't verify this).
ex: assert.notOk(form.$('button').hasClass('btn-primary'));
-> assert.doesNotHaveClass(form.$('button'), 'btn-primary');
2. Utilities
------------
The goal of the utilities is to centralize the definition of many
standard components and interactions, ensuring that when we
refactor the JS framework, we do not need to change all the tests.
Existing mock utilities (addMockEnvironment, intercept, path,
patchDate, unpatch and fieldsViewGet) are moved to
'testUtils.mock.*'.
Existing DOM utilities are moved to 'testUtils.dom.*'.
New dom utilities are created for opendDatePicker, click,
clickFirst and clickLast. Helper `click` verifies that there is
exactly 1 element visible in the DOM you click on, `clickFirst`
and `clickLast` verify that there are more than one element on the
DOM.
ex: form.$('button').click();
-> testUtils.dom.click(form.$('button'));
New Form utilities: (testUtils.form.*)
clickEdit, clickSave, clickCreate, clickDiscard, all clicks on
the control panel buttons of the form.
`reload` reloads the form data.
New modal, graph, kanban and pivot utils (testUtils.pivot.*,
testUtils.kanban.*, etc.).
New fields utils: (testUtils.fields.*)
* editInput, editSelect: allow to change the value of a field,
using a selector to identify it. They validate that the input
exists and trigger the change event automatically.
* editAndTrigger: allow to modify a field and trigger specific
events after the value change
* many2one (testUtils.fields.many2one.*)
clickOpenDropdown, clickHighlightedItem, clickItem,
searchAndClickItem: use a field name instead of a selector and
do all the complex mechanism to open, filter and highlight
many2one fields.
Joint work with aab, dam, ged, mge, svs and vsc.
The combined domain for moderated messages used to trigger a complex
database query with two OR conditions on the mail_message table.
Unfortunately PostgreSQL seems to be unable to optimize this with
indexes, or to detect that one of the conditions is void (included `AND
FALSE`). On large mail_message tables, this significantly slows down
calls to message_fetch, e.g. 6s instead of ~70ms, while returning the
same results.
As a workaround, move the logic for generating the moderation domain to
the server side, where it can be:
- optimized out when the user is not a moderator
- split into 2 distinct DB queries in order to avoid the pathological
case
After this change, calls to message_fetch with and without messages
to moderate execute in respectively ~50ms and ~150ms, instead of 6s, in
a test database with 25 million messages.
The modified message_fetch signature is backwards-compatible.
+ modified mock server used for the tests, which unfortunately
duplicates most of the business logic.
This commit fixes the handling of the service parameter
in a mocked environment:
- updated docstring: now an object (previously an array)
- no longer used by mocked server (unused parameter)
- enforces default value for this parameter (empty object)

In the commit above, we added an option to Discuss widget
to render threads specifically for PhantomJS. The reason
for this is that a test was failing, because it needs full
support of CSS flexbox to pass.
However, PhantomJS does not support flexbox very well. As
a result, it was messing with the rendering of threads.
We couldn't make the hack just in the test itself, because
it is already at the moment of rendering the thread that
PhantomJS messes the whole process of the test.
PhantomJS has been replaced with Chrome headless [1], So
the hack is no longer be necessary, as Chrome headless
fully supports CSS flexbox.

With this commit, most threads show an indicator when a member is typing
something. e.g.
"Mitchell Stephens is typing..."
Supported threads:
- DM
- (public & private) channels
- Livechat (Website & Backend)
Unsupported threads:
- mailboxes (e.g. 'Inbox')
- document thread (= 'Chatter')
- support channel (with `im_support` module)
Some technical details:
- This is a mix between 'start'/'stop' and 'regular notify' strategies.
- On typing text in composer: notify 'start typing' to all members of
thread.
- On clearing text in composer: notify 'stop typing' to all members of
thread.
- A member can only notify once every 2.5 seconds to the server when he
starts or stops typing something (throttled, buffered notify call).
- On receiving a message from someone that is typing: determine that he is
no longer typing.
- On non-empty and unchanged composer text for 5.0 seconds: automatically
notifies all members of thread that he is no longer typing anything.
(This is like a 'soft / cooperative sender' timeout).
- On non-receiving a typing notification of someone after 60 seconds:
determine that he is not longer typing something (This is like a
'hard / receiver assumption' timeout).
- When some types for more than 50 seconds straight: notify that he is
still typing something (again and again every 50 seconds).
- When two or more people are typing something (Multi-User channels), it
displays at most 2 typing users (ordering rule: longer typers first):
"Mitchell Stephens, Marc Brown and more are typing..."
- Timing summary:
- Usually 2.5 seconds uncertainty.
- Up to 5.0 seconds uncertainty on typer inactivity.
- Up to 60 seconds uncertainty on typer page reload / browser tab
closed / etc.
Future Improvements:
- Detect page reload or browser tab close with loose of longpolling
connection
Task-ID 28188
Before this commit, this test was failing due to phantomjs assuming that
there could be more messages to display on the screen.
The issues comes from the bad support of flexbox with PhantomJS, and this
test broke when we changed a DIV display with 'flex' instead of 'block'.
For instance, this is the expected values:
thread clientHeight: 960
thread scrollHeight: 1629
message clientHeight: 50
With 30 messages, 50 x 30 = 1500 < 1629 and 960 < 1629, so there are
enough messages loaded with this screen and we are not at the top of
the thread (this is the case when clientHeight = scrollHeight).
However, with phantomJS we have the following values:
thread clientHeight: 944
thread scrollHeight: 944
message clientHeight: 259
As a result, with 30 messages, 50 x 30 = 1500 > 944 (looks like
messages do not vertically collide ?) and 944 = 944 so it assumes
we are at the top of the thread, so it fetches for more messages.
This commit fixes this test by enforcing a special rendering of the
thread for phantomJS.
Unfortunately, we can't simply make the hack on the test only. We
have to make discuss and thread aware of this because they should
adapt their rendering right away
This commit makes a lot of small improvements of the JS of mail and
related modules.
A. Mail Manager
---------------
im_support:
- [REF] Slightly more robust way to determine a support
message, so that it more reliably falls back on
default kind of message (i.e. support channel UUID
should be clearly set).
mail:
- [REF] Improved method names for readability purposes.
Some examples:
- `fetchFromServer` becomes `fetchMailStateFromServer`
- `_initialize{*}` becomes `_update{*}FromServer`
- `_isModerator` becomes `_isMyselfModerator`
- [REF] Use 'template' pattern design to make Include on
Mail Manager much more robust. In particular,
the flow is always as follow:
1. Initialize internal state.
2. Listen on buses.
3. Fetch mail data from server.
- [REF] Improved workflow for thread window workflow
(Shorter & more readable).
B. Mail Tests
-------------
- [REF] Thread Window Tests crashes with clean message when
there are some thread windows open before running the
tests.
C. (Model) Message
------------------
- [REF] Improved method names for readability purposes
(e.g. `isAuthor` becomes `isMyselfAuthor`).
D. (Model) Thread
-----------------
- [REF] Improved `init` parameters on each kind of thread.
- [REF] 'Thread With Cache' has been renamed to 'Searchable
Thread': it embraces all kinds of threads that can
be used with the search view.
- [REF] 'DM' has been renamed to 'DM Chat' (for clarity).
- [IMP] New Livechat model in the backend.
- [REF] No more direct instances of the Channel class: public
and private channels are now 'Multi-User' channels,
while DM Chat and Livechat are 'Two-User' channels:
This change has been made so that instances of classes
always have direct classes as "leaf" in the Class
modeling. It eases making changes to a certain model
without being too constrained by another model.
- [REF] As a consequence of above changed, the method `isChat`
has been renamed to `isTwoUserThread`.
This is to avoid confusion with the terminology
'chat', which is more like a shortcut for 'quick real-
time conversation'. In other words, the property of
'chat' depends of the way to interact on a thread, not
of the intrinsic type of the thread.
Still, some parts have kept the terminology 'chat',
such as in the systray messagin menu.
- [IMP] Added `message_added` and `message_posted` hooks,
which may be useful to easily hook on those events.
E. Thread Widget
----------------
- [REF] Now uses a `mail.model.AbstractThread` for the
rendering of a thread, instead of a list of
`{mail.model.AbstractMessage}`.
- [FIX] Stick thread scroll height to bottom on new rendering,
if it was previously at the bottom of the thread.
- [REF] Option ORDER has its meaning changed: it now refers
to the chronological order of messages in the thread,
in which DESC means 'from top to bottom', while ASC
means 'from bottom to top'.
- [REF] Improved doc on templates, in particular with the
option `ORDER`.
F. Thread Window
----------------
- [REF] Moved more logic to thread windows, which were
previously in Mail Window Manager.
- [REF] Now hides the thread widget attribute. So instead of
`threadWindow.threadWidget.isAtBottom()`, it uses
`threadWindow.isAtBottom()`.
- [FIX] New received messages when not having focus on Odoo
tab should always make the corresponding thread
windows "passive" (i.e. windows that keep threads
unread until click on them).
- [FIX] Blank thread window (i.e. 'New message' TW) correctly
opens Discuss with 'Inbox' when clicking on 'Expand'
Button in the title
- [FIX] Do not display the composer for channels with property
'mass-mailing' set in thread windows.
G. (Website) Livechat
---------------------
- [REF] Some `trigger` have been turned into `trigger_up`.
- [REF] Some logic has been moved to models (e.g.
`{im_livechat.model.WebsiteLivechat}`), from
`{im_livechat.im_livechat.LivechatButton}`.
- [FIX] New messages should be received in real-time. The
longpolling was broken with a recent refactoring on
bus service (6448420c5d).
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'.
