Before this commit, the reminder was leaking the total assigned topics count in the title.
In the post raw it was ensured that it was not being leaked but the title was still leaking the count.
Also add specs and updated existing specs to ensure that the count is not leaked in the title.
* FEATURE: Add `should_notify` option to `Assigner#assign`
This option let's you control whether the added user within a group assignment should be notified or not.
* DEV: stree assign_controller file
* Update app/controllers/discourse_assign/assign_controller.rb

At the moment, it's possible to have maximum 5 assignments per topic
(that includes topic and post assignments). When trying to assign more,
a message "Limit of 5 assignments per topic has been reached" appears.
One possible edge case here is _reassigning_ a topic or a post. Reassignment
doesn't lead to exceeding the limit, and therefore it should be possible. But
at the moment we handle correctly only _topic_ reassignments, while when
reassigning a _post_, we show the error message "the limit has been reached".
This commit makes post reassignments work correctly too.
Currently, when only one user is available for the random auto-assign
and if that user was already assigned, then the assign will fail.
This patch addresses this issue by allowing to reassign a user who’s
already assigned. A new parameter (`allow_self_reassign`) has been added
to `Assigner#assign` with a default value of `false`.
Sometimes, the topic id actually exists for that spec (id being 1) and
it will raise about not finding the group id instead of not finding the
provided topic because the assignees group wasn’t provided in the
`fields` parameter.
Currently, when the auto-assign logic can’t find a user to assign, it
will fail saying there was no one to assign. The current logic is this
one:
- Don’t pick anyone who’s been picked in the last 180 days
- If no one has been found, then try the same thing but only for the
last 14 days.
While this is working relatively well for large enough groups, it
doesn’t work at all with very small groups (like 2 people) and it
creates unnecessary noise.
This patch addresses this issue by adding a fallback to the current
logic. Now, if the two first rules fail, instead of saying that no one
was assigned, we assign the least recently assigned person. This way,
the logic will continue to work with large groups but will also work
nicely with small groups.
Currently, we display a mix of topics and notifications in the user menu
assignments tab. This has a number of issues like having to maintain
hard to understand code instead of simply relying on the notifications
system we have, we can’t display more than one assignment per topic and
it’s not clear if an assignment is for a topic or a post nor if it’s a
group assignment or an individual one.
This patch addresses those issues by relying on the notifications system
we’re using for most of the other user menu tabs instead of a custom
implementation. This led to some heavy refactoring but it was
worthwhile as things are a bit more normalized and easier to reason
about. Instead of serializing topics with different attributes to access
various assignments, we now simply return a notification for each
existing assignment.
The UI changed a bit: tooltips are now explaining if the assignment is
for a topic or a post and if it’s for an individual or a group. Icons
are also properly set (so no more individual icon for group assignments)
and the assigned group name is displayed.
The background jobs signatures changed a bit (`assignment_id` is now
needed for the unassign job) so when deploying this patch, it’s expected
to have some jobs failing. That’s why a post-migration has been written
to handle the creation of missing notifications and the deletion of
extra notifications too.
Otherwise, when an allowed group member is assigned to the PM it invites the user (which is unnecessary) and creates a public small post for the invite.
If a topic is initially assigned to user A then reassigned to user B,
this change will make it so that notifications sent to user A are
removed. This matches the plugin's behaviour when unassigning a topic.
There is almost no reason for us to use `Fabricate.build` which does not persist the record to the database and is not what we encounter in production.
Only 5 assignments can exist simultaneously for a topic or its post.
The code that counted the assignments did not ignore the inactive
assignments which made the limit check more strict than it should have
been.
There were two problems with the way current automation script for automatic
assignment works:
- it tried to assign users that were not allowed to be assigned because they
were not part of groups that are allowed to use discourse-assign - fixed by
skipping users that are not a part of assign_allowed_on_groups groups
- it assigned new users - fixed by adding a new user that can skip new users
Adds a new plugin setting that when enabled adds a status field for every assignment. This setting defaults to off.
The possible status for an assignment are customizable via yet another new setting, and the first one on this list will be the default status for new assignments.
The status is not yet show anywhere except the assign modal and the small action posts in topics at the moment. Adding status to the assignment list for users and groups will be handled in the near future.

We are already checking that assignee has access to the private message. However, admin still can be assigned as technically they have access.
We should ensure that assignee has direct access to the message.
While assigning a random user in group to the topic posts, if we didn't include the users who were assigned to indivitual posts then the same users will be assigned again and again.
It's a minor copyedit to remove group mention from the post raw. Else it sends a notification to all group members when no one is found to be assigned.
If `SiteSetting.unassign_on_close` is enabled, an Assignment record can still exist, but be set to inactive, when a Topic is closed.
Inactivement Assignments should be ignored when comparing to the maximum number of assigned topics.
When topic is closed, we mark assignments as "inactive". Then when it is reopen and setting reassign_on_open is enabled, we bring back previous assignments.
We were already using custom fields for archive message and move to inbox. I changed custom fields solution to use active flag on Assignment model
Change `topic_id` to polymorphic approach (In the next step we will allow assigning to individual post)
`topic_id` column is still used for efficient display of assigned users on topic list (to avoid scanning posts)
Ability to assign groups.
To assign group, user must have a right to send a message to that group.
In addition, 2 jobs were introduced, - AssignNotification and UnassignNotification to inform interested users in the background about the new assignment.
Currently if you try to assign a PM to a user who can't see it, you get an error message that says "@{user} can't be assigned since they don't belong to assigned allowed groups". This commit improves the message and now it tells you the user doesn't have access to the PM and that you need to invite the user before you can assign them.
