Close https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/issues/1522 ### New Chat UI ![image](https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/assets/68532117/031fc2f4-3f8e-4fc3-82a1-aa25e1401234) - This PR adds a new experimental chat panel UI behind `cody.experimental.chatPanel` config that create separate views for commands, search, chats, and settings. - It also adds chat panel-related configuration options and commands. - Also updated the chat behavior to always start with empty chat, other than that, the chat behavior remains the same as the current one - Support multiple chat session ### How does it work The ChatViewManager class manages different chat view provider instances and handles switching between them based on config, and uses currentProvider or sidebarViewProvider to run chat commands. A chat view provider (ChatViewProvider or ChatPanelProvider) is a class that implements the VS Code WebviewViewProvider interface to display a webview or webview panel for chat. #### The ChatViewManager maintains: - sidebarViewProvider - An instance of ChatViewProvider for the sidebar auth flow and default chat view. This is always kept around. - chatPanelProviders - A map of ChatPanelProvider instances for editor panels, enabled when experimentalChatPanel config is true. - currentProvider - The currently active provider instance. It decides which provider to use based on the experimentalChatPanel config: - When false, it uses the sidebarViewProvider. - When true, it creates a ChatPanelProvider if none exists yet, and uses that. To execute commands, it first checks currentProvider, and if not set, defaults to using sidebarViewProvider. After executing the command, it sets currentProvider to the provider used. ### Next Here are the items to be completed in future PRs: - Add @ context - Add context picker - Update /test to inline - Provider dropdown ## Test plan  You can switch between the new chat UI and the current one from Cody Setting under `New Chat UI`: ![image](https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/assets/68532117/cccc2243-b83b-43c8-bbab-82bb7846633b) See video below for a quick walkthrough: https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/assets/68532117/83625473-1d9f-4b7d-9ba0-46f4a47feb5e ## WIP ### To do items from @toolmantim #### Bugs - [x] Looks like it’s enabled by default for me (have been testing w/ separate instance) - [x] Chats opening multiple tabs - [x] Chats not opening - `pending for repro steps` - [x] Changing active chat should change selected item in treeview - [x] Delete all chats sometimes just deletes the last one, sometimes deletes all - [x] Sign out with chat window open doesn't close existing chats - [x] Sometimes it gets in a state where clicking the buttons in the chats treeview fail with command not found errors - [x] Creating new chats in succession causes some to fail to load - [x] This may be existing behaviour, but a blank unsaved editor seems to work but if you add some lines of code then it fails saying no file is open #### Changes - [x] Just a single “Settings” option that goes to our settings - [x] Add “@ext:sourcegraph.cody-ai” to “Keyboard shortcuts” command arg (command: { command: - [ ] 'workbench.action.openGlobalKeybindings', args: ['@ext:sourcegraph.cody-ai’]}) - [x] “Clear Chat” -> “Delete Chat” and “Delete All Chats” - [x] “Delete All Chats” needs a confirmation - [x] Clicking “Custom” should run “cody.action.commands.custom.menu” - [x] Remove timestamp label on chat items, because it gets cut off anyhow when chat messages are long - [x] Search: hide for now behind a hidden setting for dev testing? - REMOVED - [x] Add version number in Help sidebar: Let's just add the same between "Keyboard Shortcuts" and "Sign Out", but "Version 0.14.2" (no v) and the icon github and have it link to the GitHub release? - [ ] We can make “Switch Account” an action button (icon: sign-in… I couldn’t find a better one) on “Sign Out” and remove the “…” - [ ] New chat should immediately show in tree view #### TBD - [ ] “Custom Commands” item too strong for experimental feature I think, and we move to just an action button on panel root. If they have custom commands defined, we can have a collapsed “Custom Commands” item with a badge count that expands to show all the commands? - [ ] Clicking command with no editor open does nothing. Can we disable treeview items that need a file? Notification would feel too abrupt. Something else? I'm going to move the following items to a seperate PRs since they affect the current behavior: - [ ] “Sign Out” needs a confirmation https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/issues/1520 - [ ] too many experimental features in the settings menu https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/issues/1521 --------- Co-authored-by: Valery Bugakov <skymk1@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Tim Lucas <t@toolmantim.com>
