quick actions - preventing or closing dialog

I'm creating a custom quick action for the lightning ui that requires no user input - just click the button and it starts.

Is it possible to prevent the Quick Action dialog from showing?  

While not as good a solution, I'd like to make it vanish immediately, but I can't make it happen.

Component: 
<aura:component implements="force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader">
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.dismissIt}" />
</aura:component>

JS Controller: 
dismissIt : function(component, event, helper) {
        var wasDismissed = $A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction").fire(); 
    }
As you can see they're as simple as possible but it's just not working.

Any suggestions?  

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

I made some tests with the Winter 18 version but that doesn't work without opening a new popup.

I had already closed the Quick Action dialog in the past as soon as another popup was opened (navigation/using the data services) but the simple toast is not enough. I am trying to find my old test which works but that was not completely reliable nevertheless. 

Failed tests: all the renderer events are done before the display of the popup itself.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/js_renderers.htm

The button "Close" works but that is just the default sample of Salesforce for the test of the function handleClose . 
<aura:component implements="force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader,force:hasRecordId,force:appHostable,force:hasSObjectName">
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.dismissIt}" />
    <aura:method name="closeQuickAction" action="{!c.handleClose}" />
    <aura:attribute name="recordId" type="Id" />
    <aura:attribute name="sObjectName" type="String" />
    ===> recordId:{!v.recordId}<br/>
    ===> sObjectName:{!v.sObjectName}
    <lightning:button label="Close" onclick="{!c.handleClose}"/>
</aura:component>
  
({
    dismissIt : function(component, event, helper) {   
        component.closeQuickAction();       
    },
    handleClose : function(cmp, event) { 
        alert('handleClose');
        var resultsToast = $A.get("e.force:showToast");
        var toastEvent = $A.get("e.force:showToast");
        toastEvent.setParams({
            "title": "Success!",
            "message": "Try to close the window."
        });
        toastEvent.fire();
       
        var wasDismissed = $A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction");
        wasDismissed.fire();       
    },
    afterRender: function (component, helper) {
        this.superAfterRender();
        // interact with the DOM here
        alert('after render');
    },
    unrender: function () {
        this.superUnrender();
        // do custom unrendering here
        alert('component destroyed');
    }
})

Hi Steve,

Here is the only sample I can give you which seems to work but I have to use ... a call back and a controller (useless normally):

It is a solution with only this call back that we need (the remote call should be useless).

action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
// here the force:closeQuickAction works (?) : I tried that during my work but I am not sure it is 100% reliable.
​ }
  
<aura:component controller="ContactLEX" implements="force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader,force:hasRecordId,force:appHostable,force:hasSObjectName">
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.dismissIt}" />
    <aura:attribute name="recordId" type="Id" />
    <aura:attribute name="sObjectName" type="String" />
    ===> recordId:<b>{!v.recordId}</b><br/>
    ===> sObjectName:<b>{!v.sObjectName}</b><br/> 
</aura:component>
  
({
    dismissIt : function(component, event, helper) {    
        
        var action = component.get("c.getContact");
        action.setParams({"contactId": component.get("v.recordId")});
      
        action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
            var state = response.getState();
            if(state === "SUCCESS") {
                var editRecordEvent = $A.get("e.force:editRecord");
                editRecordEvent.setParams({
                    "recordId": component.get("v.recordId")
                });
                editRecordEvent.fire();
                var wasDismissed = $A.get("e.force:closeQuickAction");
                wasDismissed.fire();
            } else {
                console.log('Problem getting contact, response state: ' + state);
            }
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);   
    }
})
  
public class ContactLEX {
@AuraEnabled
    public static Contact getContact(String contactId) {
        return [select firstname,lastname,accountid,account.name,level__c,phone,email from contact where id = :contactId];
    }
}
