Fixes https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7720

Attachment notifications carry the plain ticket URL (no #comment:N), so slack-trac-hook.php told them apart from new tickets by grepping the raw email for * Attachment "…". That match fails when Trac wraps a long file name onto the next line (as in this email), or when the body is base64-encoded, and the email is then posted to Slack as a new ticket. This is also what causes the repeat “new ticket” posts when files are attached right after a ticket is created.

The hook now checks the email headers for In-Reply-To instead. Trac sets it on every ticket notification except the one for a newly created ticket (TicketFormatter::decorate_message()), and headers are never wrapped or encoded. The archived email above is threaded under its ticket, which confirms the header is there.

Since those emails now reach Comment_Handler, it also joins a wrapped attachment line before matching, so Slack shows one attachment: change with the full file name instead of two raw lines.

Testing

  • vendor/bin/phpunit --no-configuration --test-suffix .php common/includes/tests/slack/trac — the new “wrapped attachment” case fails without the change and passes with it.
  • On the SVN host, after deploy: add an attachment with a long file name (e.g. 70+ characters) to an existing ticket on a Trac that posts to Slack, without a comment. The Slack channel should get a comment-style attachment: notice with the full file name, not a “New ticket” post. Creating a new ticket should still post as a new ticket.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Attachment changes with filenames split across multiple lines are now displayed as a single, correctly formatted entry.
    • Slack notifications are more reliably classified as comments when their ticket URL includes a comment ID or their email headers indicate a reply. Attachment notifications without either indicator are classified as tickets.

Attachment notifications carry the plain ticket URL, so the hook looked for
an attachment change line in the raw body to tell them apart from new
tickets. That line is missed when Trac wraps a long file name onto the next
line, or when the body is encoded, and the email was then posted as a new
ticket. Check the In-Reply-To header instead, which Trac sets on every ticket
notification except the one for a new ticket.

The comment handler now also joins a wrapped attachment line, so it is
posted as one attachment change with the full file name.

Fixes #7720.

Walkthrough

The Trac Slack hook now classifies comments using the ticket URL or email headers. The comment handler joins wrapped attachment filenames when parsing attachment-change lines, including filenames with quotation marks.

Changes: Trac Slack notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comment classification
svn.wordpress.org/bin/slack-trac-hook.php
The hook classifies a notification as a comment when the ticket URL includes a comment ID or the email headers contain In-Reply-To: before the header/body boundary.
Wrapped attachment parsing and test case
common/includes/slack/trac/comment-handler.php, common/includes/tests/slack/trac/comment-handler.php
The handler joins wrapped attachment filenames, omitting a joining space when the accumulated text ends in a hyphen. The test data adds a quoted filename split across two lines and expects one combined attachment change.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 4ded6

Some wrapped attachment filenames may display incorrect spacing in Slack. The impact is limited, so the change is mergeable with awareness.

to detect when Trac has wrapped within a continuous CJK filename and avoid
inserting a space at that character boundary; retain the existing spacing
behavior for other wraps. Add a test covering a long CJK filename wrapped
between characters.

Trac's text wrapper breaks runs of CJK characters between any two
characters, so joining those wrapped lines with a space put a space
into the file name that wasn't there. Skip the space when both sides
of the break are characters Trac treats as breakable.
