Proposed changes

Typing #, @, : or ! after a slash command text (e.g. /hello #) never opened its autocomplete, because the whole-text slash check ran before the cursor-word checks and forced slash-command autocomplete.

  • Moved the # (channels) / @ (users) / : (emojis) / ! (canned responses, Omnichannel rooms only) checks before the / slash-command check, so the word at the cursor wins
  • Added coverage for /hello # opening channel autocomplete and /hello @ opening user autocomplete

Issue(s)

https://rocketchat.atlassian.net/browse/NATIVE-466

How to test or reproduce

  1. open app and go to any channel/room
  2. in the message composer type /hello #
  3. in the message composer type /hello @

Expected: channel autocomplete opens for #, user autocomplete opens for @
Actual: slash-command autocomplete stayed open, no channel/user list

Walkthrough

The message composer now processes #, @, :, and ! autocomplete triggers before slash-command handling. Tests cover channel and user autocomplete after slash commands.

debouncedOnChangeText handles autocomplete prefixes before slash-command preview logic. Tests verify channel autocomplete for /hello # and user autocomplete for /hello @.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f5798

Autocomplete now correctly takes precedence after slash commands. The remaining issue is limited to return-type annotations in two tests, so the change is otherwise low-risk and mergeable with minor cleanup.

Add explicit return types to the new async test callbacks.

The coding guidelines require explicit return types in TypeScript. Use async (): Promise<void> => for both test callbacks.

  • app/containers/MessageComposer/MessageComposer.test.tsx#L575-L588: annotate the channel autocomplete test callback.
  • app/containers/MessageComposer/MessageComposer.test.tsx#L590-L602: annotate the user autocomplete test callback.

As per coding guidelines, “Use TypeScript for type safety; add explicit type annotations to function parameters and return types.”
