Avoid undo issues when reset parent blocks for controlled blocks #37484

closes #37361

This uses the first approach here #37361 (comment)
The problem is that useBlockSync is getting a bit out of hand now in terms of complexity but to be honest I'm not sure if we can do better (we probably can but it would take a lot of thinking and refactoring).

Here's the logic here: marking a block as "controlled" is set by useBlockSync but the block can become uncontrolled again if its parent get "reset", what we need at that point is to avoid calling "onChange" for the now uncontrolled block and instead mark it controlled again and populate its content.

It would be good to add an e2e test for this PR as a follow-up or directly here. Would appreciate help with that if you're up for it @Mamaduka

can I get some testing for this, it's an important bug fix and I'd like to get it on time for beta 4. We can follow-up with the test later.

Thanks for the PR Riad!

In my testing I noticed that if we change something in a reusable block, the first undo works but then it doesn't - still keeps an undo step though. It might be not related to this PR though..

Screen.Recording.2021-12-20.at.12.19.50.PM.mov

Also the failing tests seem to be related. I'll keep testing.

@ntsekouras I'm not exactly sure how to reproduce your issue, I haven't been able so far.

For the tests, I believe they are unrelated, the navigation test is also failing from time to time on trunk.

@ntsekouras I'm not exactly sure how to reproduce your issue, I haven't been able so far.

The hi test history in my recording is a paragraph block outside of a reusable block and the hi in second reusable... is inside an existing reusable block. So it might be not related to this PR but in general with the history mixed with controlled and uncontrolled blocks.

@ntsekouras Indeed I can reproduce now, it seems that the last undo level before moving out of the reusable block is always ignore on redo. Seems less important than the issue being fixed by the current PR but I'll take a look.

@ntsekouras this is proving very hard to debug for me and maybe it's something that knows undo/redo state better. cc @ellatrix @mcsf

It's also unclear whether this is specific to this branch or something hidden in trunk. (as this mixed undo is completely broken in trunk)

I think it's on trunk as well and we can land this PR and look at it separately.

In general this seems to work well in my testing, but unfortunately I'm having problems running the navigation tests locally (even on trunk with different errors though) and these tests seem to fail consistently in this branch. @talldan @getdave any ideas about the tests?

This fixes the original issue:

fixed.mp4

Are there any more detailed testing instructions? Without understanding the technical details of the bug I'm not sure what else to do to reproduce :)

@ntsekouras

Just noting that some of the failing tests are the same with a different PR

@youknowriad

Ok I think I've managed to fix the e2e tests for the navigation block by refactoring it a bit. I think it was relying on the presence of a bug in the redux store (where we keep blocks there even if not existing in the tree anymore).

@youknowriad

I'll add some unit tests for the reducer changes.
