The previous implementation (#1491) had a race condition that sometimes prevented XBlocks from being marked as viewed. Users had to scroll or resize the window to trigger visibility tracking instead of having it happen once the content loads.

Description

Testing instructions:

  1. (Optional) Set COMPLETION_BY_VIEWING_DELAY_MS = 1000 in lms/envs/private.py for easier testing. The default value is 5000.
  2. (Optional) Change publish_completion to publish_completions in lms/static/completion/js/CompletionOnViewService.js for easier testing. Otherwise, you will need to create a new XBlock for the next check or manually remove the BlockCompletion object from the DB to get the API call re-triggered the next time you view it.
  3. Use Chrome for the next steps (do not check out this branch yet).
  4. Create an HTML block with a single line. Check that the publish_completion request is not called in the Learning MFE.
  5. Check out this branch and repeat the previous step. Ensure that the request has been published.

@Agrendalath Are you waiting for an OpenCraft-internal review here or are the changes ready for upstream review?

@itsjeyd, this one is ready for upstream review.

@Agrendalath I may be missing something important - I tried reproducing this error and I was unable to get an instance where the Raw HTML block did not call publish_completion. Are there any further setup tests needed to reproduce this bug? Currently on main/master of all branches. Running tutor dev start

@wgu-jesse-stewart , did you use Chrome and checked this with the Network tab already opened (to avoid resizing the viewport) and without scrolling? This happens when no "resize" or "scroll" actions are triggered.

Using Chrome. Devtools already open to the network tab. I did another test to be sure I'm not accidentally scrolling and I avoided using the mouse entirely.

I will pull you code and test it as well.

I could not reproduce the error, but I have tested that this code works as expected. Nicely done

@Agrendalath can you rebase the PR and trigger the tests?

The previous implementation had a race condition that sometimes prevented
XBlocks from being marked as viewed. Users had to scroll or resize the window
to trigger visibility tracking instead of having it happen once content loads.
