By default the desktop app uses port 30305, unless a value is specifically set
in environment variable `STATUS_PORT`. For convenience of those developing the
app and running development builds, while simultaneously running production
builds (a.k.a. packaged builds, whether built locally or in CI), have `make
run` invoke `bin/nim_status_client` with `STATUS_PORT=30306`. That value can
still be overriden by manually invoking `make run` with a different value,
e.g. `make STATUS_PORT=30307 run` and `STATUS_PORT=30307 make run` are both
valid and achieve the same effect. NOTE: the port "sticks" in the database
after the first clean run, so when changing ports developers will need to
delete the data dir within their local repository, else the existing database
for dev builds will be stuck using whatever port was used previously. In the
future, we can figure out a means to always update the port setting in the
database just after the login event (but see #1505).
Also, for development builds use an icon (for the running app) that is
orangered (`#ff4500`) instead of the official blue color. This makes it much
easier to select between a running production instance and development instance
when Cmd-Tab'ing (on macOS, or equiv on Linux and Windows) through open
applications. Not all icons displayed at runtime have been changed in this
manner for development builds, just the main application icon, and that seems
to be sufficient to achieve the desired effect; though in the future we could
do similar for notification icon, menu bar icon, etc.
When dealing with Timeline and Profile chat data, the `HEAD~1` would break
because we're trying to access `ChatType(4)` inside our `toChat` API.
To fix this issue, we have to make `ChatType` aware of `4` and `5` which are
`Profile` and `Timeline` respectively.
This commit changes the `StatusChatInput` component to also be a `StatusUpdateInput`.
The latter isn't an actual new type or component, it's just a visual variation of the already
existing status chat input. That's my most of the changes are `isStatusUpdateInput` conditions
sprinkled here and there.
In addition, this commit introduces a new `chatType` which is passed to `StatusChatInput` later
in the timeline view, so it knows it has to render like a status update input.
This is needed when accessing the context menu from the timeline status updates.
Previously, it'd only change the active channel because it assumed the user is already
in the chat view. This is no longer the case when in timeline view, so we need to make sure
we first navigate to the chat view.
YouTube link unfurling was not working for a couple reasons.
There were two main parts fixed:
1. QML context for messages pertaining to linkUrls and imageUrls was changed from implicit to explicit. By this, I mean that any time we referenced linkUrls/imageUrls, we were relying on the knowledge that those values would be populated by some parent context several levels up. Now, we are referring to properties that have been explicitly defined on the components. This offers the ability to reuse components, and makes reading the code and debugging much easier.
2. Error handling has been added to getting link preview data. An unhandled "error" was thrown each time a link that wasn't whitelisted was passed in, causing the app to crash. For example, when a link to a tenor gif was posted in the chat, that URL was not whitelisted, causing the app to crash.
In the context of Windows packaged builds, this is consistent with other
resources needed by the application; organizing them in this way keeps the
top-level directory of Windows packaged builds clear of files that most users
should never have to see or think about.
In timeline status update messages we want to render the ENS name next to a
local nickname in case it exists. This commit extends the `UsernameLabel` to do
just that.
Closes#1488
StatusChatInput was relying on the suggestions ListModel, even though there was
no guarantee that it would exist. This is more apparent when using the component
in different context (e.g. Timeline/Status Updates). QML will throw a reference
error in this case.
`StatusChatInput` ideally shouldn't rely on chatsModel and other global
objects at all. Also, when using the component in different places, it can cause
accidental sending of message when testing the component (because all the logic is already
wired up)
Allow environmental override at runtime. Also, in the Makefile set a free-tier
default token so that setting up an Infura account isn't strictly necessary for
community contributors to build the app, even though in our docs it should be
recommended they do so.
Core contributors should setup their own free-tier Infura account, create a
key, and set it in the environment variable INFURA_TOKEN in their environment
used to build the desktop app locally.
There is one aspect of this work that is incomplete. Ideally, in the handler
for the `login` event the relevant settings in the database should always be
updated with the resolved Infura key. However, when calling
`getSetting[string](Setting.Networks_Networks)` in the handler it causes a
segfault every time. Neither the reason for the crash nor a workaround have
been worked out at this time.
We were only resetting the `Image` source but not the consumer facing `imageSource`
property when removing a selected image from the image area.
This cause the `imageSource` to practically never change after an image has
been selected the first time. Selecting an image another time would open the
image area, but if the image happens to be the same as the first time, the `imageSource`
practically didn't change, causing the app to render an "empty" image.
