Summary

This PR addresses a CodeRabbit finding from #13992: if an attachment upload was still running or had failed, sending continued behind the "Preparing message…" toast and the message went out without the file.

The suggested fix (abort the send after the uploads settled) did not look right to me. Why allow sending at all when one of the attachments failed?

Instead, the send button stays disabled until all uploads are done, and a failed upload shows an error toast. That also makes the finding obsolete, because that state can no longer happen.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sending is blocked while attachments are uploading or have errors, preventing messages from being sent before attachments are ready.
    • Upload failures now show an error notification, and canceled uploads don’t trigger failure handling.
    • Drafts are saved when attachment data changes.

Review comments at @src/components/ComposerAttachments.vue:
- Around line 116-118: **Preserve failed-upload state when the composer
reopens.**

If an upload fails and the user minimizes the composer, the modal hides and
destroys this component’s rendered subtree. A reopened `ComposerAttachments`
rebuilds its attachments from `modelValue`, which contains only successful
uploads. The failed file and its send block disappear, so Send becomes available
without that file. Preserve the failure state across reopening, or require the
user to remove the failed attachment before closing the composer.
([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/mail/660c560be020873d8d8f71c493c30a0554d3dba7/src/components/NewMessageModal.vue))
- Around line 320-321: **Keep sending blocked until every upload batch
settles.**

If a user starts a second upload before the first finishes, the first batch sets
`uploading` to `false` while the second file is still pending. `blocksSending`
then enables Send, and the message can omit that file. The previous modal
coordination tracked upload promises; this change removes that wait. Track all
active batches, including the size-limit return path, before clearing the block.
([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/mail/6c217ead604cf5af9c4dacbc14a59a6e8aca87d0/src/components/NewMessageModal.vue))
- Around line 315-316: **Set upload errors through the reactive attachment.**

If the attachment counter has already read `hasAttachmentErrors`, assigning
`attachment.error` here mutates the original object rather than its Vue proxy.
That assignment does not invalidate the cached computation. When `uploading`
becomes `false`, `blocksSending` can emit `false` despite the failed upload,
allowing a message without the file. Update the attachment through
`this.attachments` or make the local attachment reactive. The current test reads
the object directly, so it does not establish that the send block updates.

Walkthrough

ComposerAttachments now reports when uploads or attachment errors block sending. Composer uses that state to guard sending and saves drafts when attachment data changes. NewMessageModal no longer waits for attachment uploads before sending.

Changes: Attachment upload and send flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track attachment upload state
src/components/ComposerAttachments.vue, src/tests/unit/components/ComposerAttachments.vue.spec.js
ComposerAttachments reports blocking state during uploads and when attachments have errors. It awaits uploads, updates the model after success, and reports non-aborted failures. Tests cover successful uploads, failures, and aborted uploads.
Guard sending and save attachment drafts
src/components/Composer.vue, src/components/NewMessageModal.vue, src/tests/unit/components/Composer.vue.spec.js
Composer blocks sending when attachments prevent it and saves drafts when attachment data changes. NewMessageModal removes upload-completion coordination. Tests cover the send guard and draft saving.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 660c5

The change aims to stop messages from being sent while attachments are uploading or have failed. In a failed upload, in overlapping uploads, and after minimizing and reopening the composer, Send can still become available and the message goes out without the file. Fix these before merging.

Set upload errors through the reactive attachment.

If the attachment counter has already read hasAttachmentErrors, assigning attachment.error here mutates the original object rather than its Vue proxy. That assignment does not invalidate the cached computation. When uploading becomes false, blocksSending can emit false despite the failed upload, allowing a message without the file. Update the attachment through this.attachments or make the local attachment reactive. The current test reads the object directly, so it does not establish that the send block updates. (vuejs.org)
