🎯 Goal

Fix channel unread count cleared when a thread is marked as read.

🛠 Implementation

The reason this happens is because our ChannelReadUpdaterMiddleware clears the unread count of a channel when the message.read event is triggered. The solution is to verify if the mark read event has a Thread or not. Having the same event for both Channels and Threads causes these problems. It would have been better if there were separate events.

🧪 Manual Testing Notes

Steps:

  1. Make sure to have a channel with unread counts
  2. Create a thread inside the same channel
  3. With another user, add messages
  4. Open the Unread Thread
  5. Go back to the Thread List
  6. It should have the unread count badge cleared
  7. Go to Channel List
  8. The Channel unread count should remain the same

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed an issue where the channel unread count was incorrectly cleared when marking a thread as read. Now, thread-specific read actions no longer affect the main channel unread count.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the changelog to document the above fix and reorganized the "Upcoming" section for clarity.
  • Tests

    • Added tests to ensure thread read events do not reset the channel's unread message count or update the last read timestamp.

Poem

A thread was read, the channel stayed bright,
No more lost counts in the middle of night!
Middleware learned to check and to pause,
Tests were added—applause, applause!
Bugs now fixed, the code hops ahead,
A happy bunny bounces, the changelog is read! 🐇

Sources/StreamChat/WebSocketClient/EventMiddlewares/ChannelReadUpdaterMiddleware.swift (3)

38-40: LGTM! Correctly prevents thread read events from resetting channel read state.

This early return properly addresses the core issue where thread read events were incorrectly clearing the channel's unread count.


49-51: LGTM! Consistent handling for both read event types.

Good to see the same logic applied to both MessageReadEventDTO and NotificationMarkReadEventDTO to ensure comprehensive coverage of thread read events.


90-92: LGTM! Clean and focused helper method.

The implementation correctly identifies thread read events by checking for both threadDetails and threadPartial, providing comprehensive coverage of thread-related event payloads.

Tests/StreamChatTests/WebSocketClient/EventMiddlewares/ChannelReadUpdaterMiddleware_Tests.swift (2)

933-976: LGTM! Comprehensive test coverage for MessageReadEvent with threads.

The test properly validates that thread-related MessageReadEvent instances don't affect the channel's unread count or last read timestamp. Good use of threadDetails in the event payload to simulate a realistic thread read scenario.


1048-1093: LGTM! Complete test coverage for NotificationMarkReadEvent with threads.

Excellent addition that ensures both MessageReadEventDTO and NotificationMarkReadEventDTO are properly tested for thread event handling. The test maintains consistency with the existing test structure and validates the fix comprehensively.
