The bug

SlackBridge only stripped the angle brackets from Slack link markup. A link with a label, such as <https://x.com/user/status/123|x.com/user/status/123>, arrived in Rocket.Chat as the literal text https://x.com/user/status/123|x.com/user/status/123. The parser treated that whole string as one URL, so the link target was wrong and no URL preview was fetched.

The change

convertSlackMsgTxtToRocketTxtFormat now handles Slack link markup before the HTML entities are decoded:

  • <url> becomes url.
  • <url|label> becomes the bare url when the label is the URL itself, with or without the scheme, or a shortened form ending in ….
  • Any other <url|label> becomes [label](url).

Converting links before the &gt; decode means a label that contains > is no longer cut off.

Testing

A regression test in apps/meteor/server/bridges/slack/RocketAdapter.spec.ts covers both the bare-URL and the markdown-link cases.

  • npx jest --config .pr-go/jest.rocketadapter.config.mjs RocketAdapter.spec.ts passes with the fix.
  • The same command fails on the base commit with Received: "https://x.com/user/status/123|x.com/user/status/123".

Regression test: fails on base twice (/Received: "https://x\.com/user/status/123\|x\.com/), passes on fix twice (npx jest --config .pr-go/jest.rocketadapter.config.mjs RocketAdapter.spec.ts)

Fixes #43583

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Slack links now display more consistently: unlabeled links and labels matching the URL appear as plain URLs, while distinct labels remain clickable. HTTP and HTTPS schemes are handled consistently, and parentheses and Markdown-special characters in links are better preserved.
    • Escaped brackets, parentheses, backslashes, and Markdown markers—including emphasis and code markers—in link text now display as literal characters rather than affecting formatting.

Walkthrough

The Slack bridge converts Slack link markup into bare URLs or Markdown links. The message parser treats escaped punctuation in Markdown link titles as literal text. Tests cover both changes.

Changes

Slack link conversion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Convert Slack links
apps/meteor/server/bridges/slack/RocketAdapter.ts, apps/meteor/server/bridges/slack/RocketAdapter.spec.ts, .changeset/curly-cats-smile.md
The bridge normalizes HTTP(S) schemes, escapes labels and destinations, and converts Slack links to bare URLs or Markdown links. The spec checks URL-like labels, custom labels, and special characters. The changeset records a patch update for @rocket.chat/meteor.
Parse escaped link-title characters
packages/message-parser/src/grammar.pegjs, packages/message-parser/tests/link.test.ts, packages/message-parser/README.md, .changeset/bright-lamps-parse.md
The grammar treats escaped punctuation in link titles as literal text. Tests cover escaped delimiters, backslashes, and Markdown markers. The README documents the label-specific escape behavior, and the changeset records a patch update for @rocket.chat/message-parser.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Slack <url|label> links in the SlackBridge now convert to real links. The changeset covers this, with bare URLs for URL-equivalent labels and Markdown links for other labels. The title is specific and matches the linked issue, so it passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 3 files.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#43583] Only #43583 is an active direct link (state: open). Findings come from source tracing at head. The Jest suite was not executed.

Met at head:

  • &lt;https://x.com/user/status/123|x.com/user/status/123&gt; becomes https://x.com/user/status/123. The label equals the URL without its scheme.
  • &lt;https://example.com|some text&gt; becomes [some text](https://example.com).
  • &lt;https://example.com|a &amp;gt; b&gt; becomes [a &gt; b](https://example.com). Link conversion runs before the &amp;gt; decode, so the label is kept.
  • Spec expectations on lines 1-6 and 9-14 match the code output by trace.

Unmet at head:

  1. The issue requires bare &lt;url&gt; to become url. At head, convertSlackMsgTxtToRocketTxtFormat passes bare links through encodeBareUrlParentheses. For example, &lt;https://example.com/a(b(c)d)&gt; becomes https://example.com/a%28b%28c%29d%29. The stored link target then differs from the URL that was posted.
  2. Spec line 8 expects &lt;https://example.com/a(b(c)d|https://example.com/a(b(c)d)&gt; to become https://example.com/a%28b%28c%29d%29. The label https://example.com/a(b(c)d) does not equal the URL https://example.com/a(b(c)d. The code therefore returns [https://example.com/a\(b\(c\)d\)](https://example.com/a%28b%28c%29d), which follows the custom-label rule of the issue. The expectation fails. The PR claim that the spec passes is not supported at head.

Resolution

  1. Return bare &lt;url&gt; unchanged, as the issue requires. If parentheses need encoding, limit the encoding to a case that the message parser demonstrably requires, and document that case in the issue or the PR description.
  2. Correct the expected value for the spec line 8 input to the markdown-link output that the rules define. Or change the rules, with a stated reason.
  3. Update the spec expectation for the bare parenthesized URL (spec line 7) to match item 1.
  4. Run RocketAdapter.spec.ts at the new head. Confirm that every expectation passes.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Changes compared from merge base 7625d7c to head 25c8c95.

Supported by #43583 or the PR description:

  • Bare-link and labeled-link conversion, scheme normalization, and removal of the old angle-bracket replacement in RocketAdapter.ts.
  • Markdown label and destination escaping helpers, which produce the [label](url) output.
  • The spec file, the changeset, and the grammar, README, and link test changes for backslash escapes in link labels. These were judged supporting in the previous review. The raw summary shows no change to them since then.

Not requested and not documented:

  • encodeBareUrlParentheses is applied to bare URLs (&lt;url&gt;) and to URL-equivalent labels. Issue #43583 requires bare links to become url. The PR description does not mention parenthesis encoding.
  • The commit message states the intent to preserve parentheses. The code percent-encodes ( and ) as %28 and %29. The base commit passed balanced parentheses through unchanged.

Connection: the change sits in the same conversion path, so a link to the issue is possible. No evidence in this PR shows that the message parser fails on unencoded parentheses in bare URLs. The parser behavior at head was not inspected.

Resolution

Needed to decide: evidence that the message parser breaks, or mis-links, a bare URL that contains unencoded parentheses at head. Also needed: a PR description entry for the parenthesis encoding and its reason. If that evidence is not provided, the encoding is not supported by the issue and should be removed from bare-URL output.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Scheme-only normalization of the url can desync labelIsUrl handling.

normalizedUrlWithoutScheme is just urlWithoutScheme. The alias adds no value. It is not lowercased, so it differs in intent from normalizedUrl. Remove the alias and use urlWithoutScheme directly.

♻️ Proposed cleanup

-				const normalizedUrlWithoutScheme = urlWithoutScheme;

Then replace each use of normalizedUrlWithoutScheme with urlWithoutScheme.

26-55: Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Nested parentheses in destinations: verify the grammar reads the encoded output as one target.

The helper leaves one balanced outer pair literal. It percent-encodes inner pairs and unmatched parentheses. This matches the MarkdownLinkURLBodyParen rule, which has no nested group. The Slack URL is changed, though. ( becomes %28, and ) becomes %29. Most servers treat these the same. The result is not guaranteed for every server.

No defect is shown. This is an accepted trade-off. Add a short comment that says the encoding is intentional.


559-574: Functional Correctness · Low value

Verify that the labeled-link regex does not match across Slack mentions.

The pattern <(https?:[^|>]*)\|([^>]*)> runs before &gt; is decoded. It allows | and < inside the label. A message such as <https://a.com|x <@U123> can match from the URL to the first >. The label then becomes x <@U123. That breaks the later user-mention conversion. Slack does not allow a raw < inside a link label, because it sends &lt;. Real input should be safe. Exclude < from the label class to make the match stricter.

Proposed fix

-			slackMsgTxt = slackMsgTxt.replace(/<(https?:[^|>]*)\|([^>]*)>/gi, (_match, url, label) => {
+			slackMsgTxt = slackMsgTxt.replace(/<(https?:[^|>]*)\|([^<>]*)>/gi, (_match, url, label) => {

Preserve the complete bare URL

When a matching Slack URL ends in ), the bare-URL parser excludes that character. For example, https://example.com/a(b(c)d) links to https://example.com/a(b(c)d instead. Preserve the destination without losing bare-URL previews.

lines 558 - 575:
Update the bare-URL parsing in the slackMsgTxt processing flow in RocketAdapter
so a URL ending in a closing parenthesis preserves the complete destination,
including balanced parentheses, without disabling bare-URL previews. Keep the
existing handling of Slack URL markup and labeled links intact.

- Line 142: Qualify the Markdown link-label escape description in the README:
clarify that the listed escapes apply to plain label text, not formatted text
such as bold content parsed through LinkTitle and BoldPlainRun. Preserve the
existing escape rules and explain that backslashes inside bold text remain
literal.

Review comments at @apps/meteor/server/bridges/slack/RocketAdapter.ts:
- Line 57: Update encodeBareUrlParentheses and its bare-URL handling so bridged
links remain clickable without rewriting literal parentheses in the destination
as percent-encoded characters. Preserve the original URL destination, including
its parentheses.

---

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
1. Return bare `<url>` unchanged, as the issue requires. If parentheses need
encoding, limit the encoding to a case that the message parser demonstrably
requires, and document that case in the issue or the PR description.
2. Correct the expected value for the spec line 8 input to the markdown-link
output that the rules define. Or change the rules, with a stated reason.
3. Update the spec expectation for the bare parenthesized URL (spec line 7) to
match item 1.
4. Run `RocketAdapter.spec.ts` at the new head. Confirm that every expectation
passes.

Make the URL match its label.

The URL is missing a closing ) before |. The converter returns a Markdown link, so this assertion fails and blocks the ordinary Jest workflow. Add the closing parenthesis to test the bare-URL branch.
