The discuss application starting process is strongly asynchronous.
However, it relies implicitely on the fact that the widget is not
destroyed in its starting process. For example, if the widget is
detroyed before the updateChannel method is called, then any call to the
chat manager service will return undefined and the widget will crash.
When discuss is destroyed exactly between the start and the end of the
creation of its search view (which is asynchronous), then it is possible
to have a crash, because the search view will be destroyed when the
do_search method is called.
Note that we had to fix discuss mobile as well:
The _setChannel method is supposed to return a deferred, but the mobile
override did not return it. As a result, a test in the mobile suite
failed because this.alive takes a deferred in argument.
Before this commit:
Clicking on 'unstar all' button removes all messages from starred channel
but it only decreases the counter as many as there are displayed messages
on screen.
For example, if there are 40 messages starred, only 30 messages
are on screen (default limit) but unstar all will decrease counter
only for those messages instead of 40.
After this commit:
clicking on 'unstar all' button will correctly take in account all
fetched messages and not only displayed messages.
So now, after clicking on 'unstar all' button will update the starred
counter to 0.

Before this commit, when using createDiscuss and performing
discuss.destroy, the parent widget was not destroyed.
This is an issue, because the mocked environment is attached
to the parent widget of discuss. Any call to this.getSession()
is mocked by the addMockEnvironment, and this mocked behaviour
is removed only when the corresponding widget is destroyed.
This commit overrides discuss.destroy(), so that the parent
widget is also destroyed, so that it removes the side effect on
this.getSession() from the mocked environment.
This commit adds a first test of discuss, which checks that the
essential DOM elements are present when we create a discuss widget.
In particular, there should be a sidebar that contains links to
channel_inbox and channel_starred.
In order to test discuss, the service 'chat_manager' has to be ready.
We do not want to explicitly write discuss.call on any test with discuss,
so now the function createDiscuss returns a promise that is resolved with
the discuss widget when the chat_manager is ready.
This commit improves the JS code of the mail module,
which comes maily from the new coding guidelines
and the addition of "JS services".
JS services are important objects that do not fit
well in the component tree, such as chat_manager
or ajax.
The benefits of JS services are improved readability
of the code, reduced coupling, and more testable
modules. In particular, discuss was hard to
Summary of the changes:
- ClientAction has been renamed into Discuss
- Clear instantiation of chatManager
- New coding guidelines in most mail modules
- JS Services can interact with each other
- Chat Manager and Window Manager are services
- Window Manager renamed to Chat Window Manager
- bus.bus is now encapsulated in Bus Service (a service)
- The test infrastructure has been tweaked with JS Services
- Chat Mixin has been removed
A future improvement would be to translate some 'trigger' into 'trigger_up'.
