This commit extract send_messages.js to clean up code related
to the following things:
* sending data to /json/report_send_time
* restarting the event loop if events don't arrive on time
The code related to /json/report changes the following ways:
* We track the state almost completely in the new
send_messages.js module, with other modules just
making one-line calls.
* We no longer send "displayed" times to the servers, since
we were kind of lying about them anyway.
* We now explicitly track the state of each single sent
message in its own object.
* We now look up data related to the messages by local_id,
instead of message_id. The problem with message_id was
that is was mutable. Now we use local_id, and we extend
the local_id concept to messages that don't get rendered
client side. We no longer need to react to the
'message_id_changed' event to change our hash key.
* The code used to live in many places:
* various big chunks were scattered among compose.js,
and those were all moved or reduced to one-line
calls into the new module
* echo.js continues to make basically one-line calls,
but it no longer calls compose.report_as_received(),
nor does it set the "start" time.
* message_util.js used to report received events, but
only when they finally got drawn in the home view;
this code is gone now
The code related to restarting the event loop if events don't arrive
changes as follows:
* The timer now gets set up from within
send_messages.message_state.report_server_ack,
where we can easily inspect the current state of the
possibly-still-in-flight message.
* The code to confirm that an event was received happens now
in server_events.js, rather than later, so that we don't
falsely blame the event loop for a downstream bug. (Plus
it's easier to just do it one place.)
This change removes a fair amount of code from our node tests. Some
of the removal is good stuff related to us completing killing off
unnecessary code. Other removals are more expediency-driven, and
we should make another sweep at ramping up our coverage on compose.js,
with possibly a little more mocking of the new `send_messages` code
layer, since it's now abstracted better.
There is also some minor cleanup to echo.resend_message() in this
commit.
See #5968 for a detailed breakdown of the changes.
