Fixed Issues

$ #9402
PROPOSAL: #9402 (comment)

Tests

Open a Chat and Send Attachments

  1. Open a chat.
  2. Upload an image.
    • Verify that a preview of the image appears immediately in the chat.
  3. Upload a video.
    • Verify that a preview of the video appears immediately in the chat.
  4. Upload a PDF document.
    • Verify that a download link for the PDF appears immediately in the chat.
  5. Upload a text file.
    • Verify that a download link for the text file appears immediately in the chat.

Known Issue

  1. Upload an image and wait for the backend to replace the optimistic action.
    • Observe the image flashing briefly as the optimistic action is replaced by the actual action.
    • Note: This is a known limitation, as agreed upon in this discussion, to be addressed in a follow-up.

Offline tests

  1. Disconnect from the internet.
  2. Upload an image.
    • Verify that a preview of the image appears immediately in the chat and is slightly grayed out, indicating an optimistic action.
  3. Reconnect to the internet.
    • Verify that the image preview updates to full opacity once the upload is confirmed by the backend.

QA Steps

Same as the Tests section above

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
    • MacOS: Desktop
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that the left part of a conditional rendering a React component is a boolean and NOT a string, e.g. myBool && <MyComponent />.
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I verified the translation was requested/reviewed in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.js or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

@kidroca kidroca changed the title New Attachment Upload UX New Attachment Upload UX with Real-Time Previews Jul 5, 2024
@kidroca kidroca force-pushed the kidroca/feat/attachment-upload-ux branch from c72cb19 to 0cf6147 Compare July 9, 2024 14:51
- Consolidated the logic for generating `htmlForNewComment` and `textForNewComment`.
- Cleaned up redundant checks for file and text presence.
- Optimized creation of the `reportAction` object.
- Introduced a new function `getAttachmentHtml` to handle the generation of attachment HTML.
- Updated `addComment` function to use `getAttachmentHtml` for cleaner code.
- Ensured `textForNewComment` is parsed from `htmlForNewComment` for consistency.
Renamed the function `getAttachmentHtml` to `getUploadingAttachmentHtml` for better clarity and consistency. The new name more accurately reflects its purpose in generating HTML for uploading attachments.
- Improved `getUploadingAttachmentHtml` function to handle image and video attachments.
- Added conditions to check for MIME types and generate appropriate HTML for image and video sources.
- Updated `htmlForNewComment` to remove an extra newline character.
Added nullish coalescing operator to ensure `attribs[CONST.ATTACHMENT_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE]` is defined before using `split()`, preventing potential runtime errors.
- Return HTML string directly within conditionals for image and video attachments.
- Ensure a generic message is returned for other file types.
- Adjust the HTML for new comments to conditionally include line breaks when an attachment is present.
```
Refactor the order of URL resolution priorities to fix issues with video rendering. Now, the video source URL will first check the ATTACHMENT_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE, then 'src', and finally 'href'.
Updated the fallback case for handling non-media files in `src/libs/ReportUtils.ts`. Instead of using a generic uploading message, we now present a link to the file for better user experience.
- Introduced `ATTACHMENT_OPTIMISTIC_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE` in constants.
- Updated `ReportUtils` to include the new optimistic source attribute in the HTML output for images, videos, and other file types.
…c in .ts 🧩

- Extracted attachment regex pattern into a constant `ATTACHMENT_PATTERN`
- Simplified the return condition by leveraging the extracted constant
- Fix function parameter documentation
Updated the `isUploading` condition to use `html.contains(CONST.ATTACHMENT_OPTIMISTIC_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE)` instead of comparing it to `CONST.ATTACHMENT_UPLOADING_MESSAGE_HTML`, because `CONST.ATTACHMENT_UPLOADING_MESSAGE_HTML` is being removed
Since `CONST.ATTACHMENT_UPLOADING_MESSAGE_HTML` is no longer used it's removed from the check

As per the PR Author checklist I'm tagging @Expensify/design to review the UI/UX change


@shawnborton

This PR introduces a UI/UX change with the attachment upload flow
I've brought it up earlier, and you responded here: #42297 (comment)

The difference being introduced is now we render a thumbnail of the attachment instead of the text "Uploading attachment..."

Below you can see some new vs old samples

Attaching an image or video

SBS.Attachment.Upload.mov

Attaching an image while offline

SBS offline

Attaching a PDF doc

SBS.PDF.mov

Other files

SBS.Other.files.mov

The UX is identical on iOS and Android native, there are examples attached inside the Screenshots section in the PR description

- The message "Uploading Attachment..." no longer exists - we don't need to test for such text to match an attachment action
- All attachments use the `CONST.ATTACHMENT_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE` it can be used to distinct them
  - Attachments in upload use the same attribute as well
The `uploading-attachment` custom model is removed as it is no longer used.

I will have updates by tomorrow.

Update the logic for extracting attachment file names by using the original
file name attribute if available. This enhances clarity and ensures that
the most accurate file name is utilized, falling back to the source only
when necessary.

BUG: Downloading the video file from preview downloads a text file.

I've added another small patch to resolve the following issues:

  • ✅ BUG: Downloading the video file from preview downloads a text file.
  • ✅ BUG: Popup shows the file name instead of video Preview.
Screen.Recording.2024-07-29.at.20.09.13.mov

We should create issues to track the future or follow-up items if we are not doing those in this PR.

Can we just track them under the existing ticket? I can list them in a status update.

Works for me.

Added a check to ensure local file sources (file: or blob:) are not
included in the download options. This avoids redundancy and potential
issues with file not found when attempting to download local files.

Thanks for the changes. But I still see following issues.

  1. Looks like the name of the video file is clipped. rename the test video to 29.07.2024_20.26.50_REC.mp4 before testing.
  2. Context Menu download still have issues when we try to download a optimistic file.
  3. Downloaded video is document type. it does not have any extension in the name.

Added a check to ensure the download option is hidden for resources that
are currently being uploaded. This prevents users from attempting to
download files that are not yet available, improving the user experience.

Removed the download option from the context menu for pending uploads.
It shouldn't be possible to download the video while it's being uploaded.
After upload the file downloads with the correct type and extension. Original name isn't preserved

I see. I am fine with not solving the clipped name issue in this PR. But downloaded file should return the extension for correct type.

I will test it in couple of minutes again.

I am fine with not solving the clipped name issue in this PR. But downloaded file should return the extension for correct type.

The clipped filename was happening only if you try to download a file that is not yet uploaded to the backend, no? It's no longer possible to download before the upload completes, so there shouldn't be any issues with the filename and extension.
Once the video is uploaded to the backend, it receives a unique name, and there are no problems downloading it.

Video download has this issue even after file is uploaded to server but same issue is present on staging so we don't have to solve it here.
