Summary

In case the user creates a sidebar from the message which has been edited, we need to add an edit message to a new thread to display updated content to the client.

In case the user creates a sidebar from the message which has been edited, we need to display updated content to the client. We are doing it by changing the content of sourceMessage of SIDEBAR_SOURCE.

Test Plan

Create a new pending thread from the edited message. Send a message to it. A new thread is created, and the updated content of the first message is visible. The edited source_message is successfully sent to the client.
Create a new pending thread from an unedited message. Send a message and check if everything works as before.

Can you clarify why this is necessary? My understanding is that SIDEBAR_SOURCE works with a "pointer" to a message already, so it seems that we should be able to adjust that code (fetchDerivedMessages) to just call fetchLatestEditMessageContentByID instead of creating extra messages

(On the other hand, any edits to the SIDEBAR_SOURCE that occur after sidebar creation will need to be mirrored in the sidebar with an EDIT_MESSAGE like you are doing here.)

  1. What are these parentheses for? You can run git grep AND to see how we typically format SQL queries like this
  2. We typically give FROM its own line
  3. There's no point declaring a table alias if you are only looking at one table
  4. Please remove ALL trailing spaces from this diff
  5. The semicolon is unnecessary unless you use { multipleStatements: true }

You should never use any unless you have a really good reason. You should expect your reviewer will ALWAYS request changes if they see any anywhere unless it is justified

Addressed some of the comments

Currently, editing messages work in this way:
Every edit message is added (mirrored) to both the parent thread and the sidebar thread (this is how I understood how to do it, but we duplicate the data). It is mirrored both on thread creation (this diff) and on sidebar source message edit (https://phab.comm.dev/D7145).

I will check how derived messages work and see if I can easily add an extra 'edit_message' to the derived message, next to sourceMessage, and then display it.

Adding @rohan here – he is looking at fetchDerivedMessages right now in D7148

Two more nits to match the style in the codebase:

  1. Can you give LIMIT 1 its own line?
  2. Can you put "`;" on its own line?

Back to your queue for nits and fetchDerivedMessages

I want to make sure this approach is correct:

  • we want to have 2 separate `EDIT_MESSAGEs for both the main thread and sidebar,
  • we don't want to copy the content of edited messages,
  • sidebar's EDIT_MESSAGE should only point to the EDIT_MESSAGE in the main thread and load the main EDIT_MESSAGE as a derived message (and its content).

In that way, I don't copy the content of the message. Do I understand it right and should I do it in that way?

Previously, I thought we wanted to: load the latest EDIT_MESSAGE together with the SIDEBAR_SOURCE message, and don't create 2 copies of EDIT_MESSAGEs when editing message with sidebar.

We only want to have 2 separate EDIT_MESSAGES if it is necessary. If the edit occurs before the sidebar is created, we should not need an EDIT_MESSAGE in the sidebar. On the other hand, if the edit occurs after the sidebar is created, there is no other way to do it.

For the case where the edit occurs before the sidebar is created, my suggestion is that we should be able to adjust fetchDerivedMessages so that it fetches the latest edit of the SIDEBAR_SOURCE rather than the original SIDEBAR_SOURCE. This message should look like the original SIDEBAR_SOURCE (eg. a TEXT message), but with the content replaced based on the EDIT_MESSAGE.

Does that make sense? Do you think this is possible?

Changed the way of displaying new content of edited message in the sidebar

This makes sense. I updated the diff (and the other one related to pending threads D7140)

However, there is one issue with it that we have to think through:
On the client side, I cannot determine whether the message has been edited or not. Because of that, I can't display the Edited label properly for the SIDEBAR_SOURCE message.

I believe, that we can leave it like this because when we create the sidebar, we can say that the first message has not been (yet) edited. If we edit the message after the sidebar creation, the label displays correctly.

Perfect!

I agree, I think is a reasonable approach. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

We could potentially implement this by calling fetchLatestEditMessageContentByIDs... I don't feel strongly, though

Removed redundant SQL query, used fetchLatestEditMessageContentByIDs in fetchLatestEditMessageContentByID
