No push notifications for Deck

[Floppik]

Push Notifications Not Working in Deck Despite Working notify_push

Describe the bug
Push notifications are not being sent for actions in the Deck app (e.g., creating or modifying a card), even though notify_push is configured correctly and test notifications via notification:test-push are successfully delivered to the client.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up notify_push and confirm that self-test completes successfully.
2. Run sudo -u www-data php occ notification:test-push and verify that the notification arrives on the client.
3. Go to the Deck app, create or modify a card (e.g., move it or assign it to yourself).
4. Check if a push notification appears on the client (phone or browser).
5. No notification is received.

Expected behavior
Push notifications should be sent to the client for actions in Deck (e.g., card creation, assignment), as they are for other apps.

Actual behavior
No notifications are received from Deck, despite notify_push functioning correctly and test notifications being delivered.

I have also no push notifications in Deck-App.
Notify_push is activ, tests are correct.

I updated to Nextcloud from 30.0.8.1 to 30.0.9.2 to 31.0.3.2.

[Gobytego]

we are also having this issue on one of our users

[rnalrd]

Same problem since I have upgraded to >=31.0.3 IIRC.

[MarVinSto]

I do have the same problem for two nextcloud instances (version 31.0.4)

[stefan-wallner]

Same problem since I have upgraded from 30 to 31.0.4

[Gobytego]

latest snap the same issue on 14 instances

[Marcool04]

When a Deck due date arrives I have two possibly relevant log messages:

ExApp \"deck\" not found.

and

Notification was claimed to be parsed, but was not fully parsed by OCA\\Deck\\Notification\\Notifier [app: deck, subject: card-overdue]

After update to Deck 1.15.1 push messages are working!

[rnalrd]

Yep, v1.15.1 fixes it! thanks for sharing!

[bentuna]

I tested notifications with Deck version 1.15.1 and all Deck notification options enabled under /settings/user/notifications:

Events triggering push notifications (✅ working / ❌ not working)

Boards

• ✅ A board has been shared with you
• ❌ A board has been unshared with you
• ❌ A board has been renamed
• ❌ Someone made you owner of a board
• ⚠️ For now, when User A makes User B owner of a board, User A is getting a push notification "You have shared the board [boardname] with User A" - this is wrong and misleading.
  • There should instead be two notifications:
    • for User A: "User B has shared the board [boardname] with you"
    • for User B: "User A has made you owner of the board [boardname]"

Lists

• ❌ A list has been created
• ❌ a list has been renamed
• ❌ a list has been deleted

Cards

• ✅ You have been mentioned in a comment of a card
• ✅ You have been assigned to a card (as an individual user)
• ❌ A group or team you are in has been assigned to a card
• ❌ A card has been renamed
• ❌ The description of a card has been created or edited
• ❌ A comment was created on a card (not mentioning you)
• ❌ A tag was added to or removed from a card
• ❌ A card has been moved to another list
• ❌ A card has been archived
• ❌ A card has been deleted

Feature: per-board notification settings

In my opinion, when we get all these events to work so that they trigger a push notification, we should have more fine-grained options for users to control their notifications.

Suggestion

Instead of the Due date reminders settings, we could have a menu item Notifications in the three dot menu of a board:

• The board was changed (yes / no)
• A list was changed (yes / no)
• A card was changed (all cards / assigned cards only / no notifications)
• Due date reminders (all cards / assigned cards only / no notifications)
