Hi, @ciamalaeaskan

Is the issue reproduce on our Sample Chat (w/o your modifications)? Or is it in your code?

A logs will be helpful.

[ciamalaeaskan]

Yes this issue is our Sample Chat code only.

[ccvlad]

OK. We will check to find the issue and fix. Are there any special steps to reproduce or the problem always present?

[ciamalaeaskan]

No its not on all time. I think its happen when both sender or receiver open chat at a time or open chat with multiple devices. But not sure about this scenario. Can you please give me a solution ASAP ?

[ciamalaeaskan]

And also I want to confirm that this will persist when user is logged in via browser version and Mobile at a time ?

Please show your logs. We have to check the duplicate issue there. Or provide steps to reproduce for the issue.

You will get messages from the same user. Compare users' IDs to know that you've received the message from the same user.

This is happend when both sender and receiver open and chat each other at a time. And also if the user logged in multiple devices also its happend

And also please confirm duplicate issue will persist also if the sender and receiver chat from browser and app respectively.

Message duplication scenario :

1. Person1 and Person2 logged in a real devices seperately. And also Person1 has logged in more than one devices
2. both open their personal chat module and start chatting.
3. Person1 sending "Hai" to Person2, then Person2 open personal chat page. And reply to Person1
4. then Person1 get duplicate message ( same message with multiple times)

Thanks We will check it and let you know

Hi, @ccvlad

This issue is only pending from our end, Any update on this please?

[ccvlad]

Hi @ciamalaeaskan I have tested our Sample RNChat (user-A and user-B) with Sample Web Chat (User-A) by your steps and have not reproduced the issue with duplicate. Could you provide log from device where the problem exists?

[ciamalaeaskan]

No, for now we are not using web chat. We are having this issue only on Sample RNChat on the real device when chatting each other at the same time.

[ccvlad]

I am not asking you for logs from webapp. You are able to copy logs from the RNChat and paste here (via Metro Bundler / Android Studio / Chrome Debuger)

Now i have attached log file with the demo to reproduce this issue. Please refer the below zip file.

A user receives a forwarded message from the same user and it is normal. You can check incoming message by ID and display it if doesn't exist.

...

// init onMessageListener 
ConnectyCube.chat.onMessageListener = this.onMessage;

...

const isMessageExistById = msgId => {
  return messages.some(msg => msg.id === msgId); // messages - list of all current chat's messages
}

const displayMessage = msg => {
  // here a code to display
}

const sendMessage = (dialogJidOrUserId, msg) => {
  const messageId = ConnectyCube.chat.send(dialogJidOrUserId, msg);

  this.displayMessage(msg);

  return messageId;
}

const onMessage = (senderId, msg) => {
  // use for some more conditions:
  // const isPrivateMessage = msg.type === 'chat';
  // const isGroupMessage = msg.type === 'groupchat';
  // const isSelfUser = currentUserId === senderId;
 const isMessageExist = this.isMessageExistById(msg.id)

  if (!isMessageExist) {
    this.displayMessage(msg);
  }
...

FYI:

• User who send a message in private chat, won't receive the message in onMessageListener on current device. But it will receive the message on other device as forwarded message (peer-to-peer chat)
• User who send a message in group chat (or channel, or broadcast), will receive the message in onMessageListener. Means that the user sends a message to a dialog (not to other user) and the dialog send the message to all occupants. There isn't forwarded messages, because unnecessary.

Message gets duplicates , so many bugs of sample RNChat project !!!!! When you close app without seeing the received messages ,then when you open again ,you will see double double messages of the last unseen messages.
