What

The composer never passed skipEnrichUrl to sendMessage / updateMessage, so every message was sent with the default and the backend scraped its links. A link preview the user removed with the "x" came back on the sent message.

Changes:

  • New StreamMessageComposerController.skipEnrichUrl. It's true while the message has a link preview, however it got there (fetched while typing, restored from a draft, or loaded for an edit). It's also true after the user removes the preview with the "x": clearOGAttachment(dismissed: true) is a new parameter, which the header now passes. Any other clearOGAttachment(), clear() and reset() turn it off.
  • clearOGAttachment gained an optional named parameter. Existing calls are unaffected, but a subclass overriding clearOGAttachment() without it, or a class that implements the controller, has to add it.
  • The composer sends and updates messages with skipEnrichUrl: controller.skipEnrichUrl.

This also enables "user sends a YouTube link without a preview" and "user sends a Giphy link without a preview" in hyper_links_test.dart.

Fixes FLU-1089.

Stacked on #3105 (the e2e suite); GitHub retargets it to master once that merges.

Before After
Sent message

Verification

  • stream_message_composer_controller_test.dart: skipEnrichUrl is true while a preview is attached and after clearOGAttachment(dismissed: true); a plain clearOGAttachment(), clear() and reset() turn it off.

  • message_composer_link_preview_send_test.dart:

    • sends skipEnrichUrl: true with a preview attached, and after a dismissal;
    • updates an edited message that has a preview with skipEnrichUrl: true;
    • sends false after a failed scrape.

    The attached, dismissed and edit tests fail without the fix. Only the local macOS goldens fail.

  • Android emulator against the real backend: preview attached → skip_enrich_url: true, one preview; "x" → send → true, no preview; "x" → clear → plain text → false; "x" → clear → new link → previewed.

  • e2e: the two tests are un-skipped and run in this PR's E2E workflow.

v11: see the "Merging master into v11" comment on FLU-1089.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Messages now preserve link-preview choices when sent or edited. A preview you remove won’t be added back by the server, and an existing preview won’t be duplicated.
    • If link-preview enrichment fails and no preview is displayed, sending the message still allows the server to generate one.
    • Preview dismissal state is preserved when editing is canceled and cleared when the composer is reset.

Walkthrough

The composer now tracks dismissed link previews and forwards skipEnrichUrl when sending or updating messages. Tests cover controller state and message operations. The integration tests no longer skip the affected preview-dismissal cases.

Changes: Link Preview Enrichment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track preview dismissal state
packages/stream_chat_flutter_core/lib/src/stream_message_composer_controller.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter_core/test/stream_message_composer_controller_test.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter_core/CHANGELOG.md
The controller exposes skipEnrichUrl, tracks whether a preview was dismissed, and clears dismissal state during ordinary clearing and reset. Tests cover state changes across clearing and editing. The changelog documents the controller API changes.
Pass enrichment state through message operations
packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/components/message_composer/message_composer_input_header.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/message_input/stream_message_composer.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter/test/src/message_input/message_composer_link_preview_send_test.dart, e2e_app/integration_test/hyper_links_test.dart, packages/stream_chat_flutter/CHANGELOG.md
Removing a preview marks it as dismissed. The composer captures skipEnrichUrl before resetting the controller and passes it to send and update operations. Widget tests cover displayed, dismissed, and unavailable previews, and edits with an existing preview. The integration tests no longer skip the Unsplash, YouTube, and Giphy cases. The changelog records the send behavior change.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 78e68

Live preview dismissal works, but a dismissed preview can return when sending a restored draft. This bounded issue can be fixed before merge or accepted for follow-up.

41-41: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Assert the sent message in the dismissal test.

This test checks only the skipEnrichUrl: true argument. The any() matcher accepts any Message, so a change that keeps the OG attachment in the sent message while still passing skipEnrichUrl: true would not fail this test.

Suggested fix
-    verify(() => channel.sendMessage(any(), skipEnrichUrl: true)).called(1);
+    final sent =
+        verify(() => channel.sendMessage(captureAny(), skipEnrichUrl: true)).captured.single as Message;
+    expect(sent.attachments.where((it) => it.ogScrapeUrl != null), isEmpty);

ogScrapeUrl; keep the skipEnrichUrl: true check.

56-75: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Add an edit-mode dismissal case to the link preview send tests.

The edit test at lines 56-75 keeps the preview attached. It asserts skipEnrichUrl: true only for that state. A change that derives the update flag from attachment presence alone would still pass. The edit fixture renders the link preview, so the test can dismiss it through its remove callback, as the existing send-mode dismissal test does.

     verify(() => channel.updateMessage(any(), skipEnrichUrl: true)).called(1);
   });
