User Story

As a desktop client user I want to share a conversation URL through my favorite social network so it's easy to share.

UX: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8569938

Acceptance criteria:
* A new "Share button" is available in the conversation window when waiting alone in a conversation
* Using the share button opens a menu listing all share providers which have already been added and an option to add a new share provider. If no providers have been added yet only the option to add a new provider is shown.
* Clicking the share button again closes the menu
* Selecting the option to add a new provider if the "Firefox share" button is on the toolbar or on the panel menu will open the share panel.
* Selecting the option to add a new provider if the "Firefox share" button is on the customize palette will open a dialogue with the user offering to add "Firefox share" to the toolbar. 
- If the user acknowledges the dialog the "Firefox share" button gets added to the toolbar and the "Firefox share" panel opens
- If the user dismisses the dialog nothing happens when the dialogue closes
* The panel opens with a pre-populated message used for the selected provider and the message can be shared. The URL of the conversation is the URL getting shared through that mechanism.
* The conversation window remains opened whilst sharing action occurs on the sharing panel
* A Telemetry event sent each time the "Share button" gets used

* TBD: text and image being shared through the different providers
Note: the position of the "Firefox share3 icon in Fx39 has yet to be confirmed

Attached patch WIP: feature complete patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Hi Michael! Can you provide two SVG and one PNG assets for me, based on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8569938:

1) SVG: Icon for 'Add a Service' menu item in the share menu (a 'Plus' glyph)
2) SVG: Icon for inside the share menu/ panel when the Share button is not available (see bottom part of the mockup)
3) PNG: Hello logo that can serve as a preview image for the Hello link clicker as shown in the Facebook share panel.

Thanks!

Hi Shane, I have three questions for you wrt OpenGraph data:

1) For G+, LinkedIn and Facebook sharing (perhaps others as well), you can see a short blurb that is put next to the URL preview image and below the URL title that contains an excerpt of the page that belongs to the URL. Can we manipulate that text to display something we define specifically (thus can also localize) through the OpenGraph data that we pass to `SocialShare.sharePage()`?
2) If we pass a preview image in the OpenGraph data, will that show up as the image next to the blurb I mentioned above?
3) For the GMail sharing provider, can we manipulate the email body text to be different than the title we supply via the OpenGraph data?

Thanks!

I'm curious why we would add these rather than just use the CUI listener in the loop code where you want to get the notifications.

Some of these we can modify the text in the call to share.  Others we may need to have a page off the services website that has the opengraph tags for the share services to consume.  We should be able to easily manipulate the body text for GMail.

Alright, cool! Do you mean that I'd have to inspect the source of the respective share providers' share URL and see how they consume the OpenGraphData event?

None of the major sites use the event.  The OpenGraph data is also used to generate a url from a url template.  What data the various share providers use in the url varies from provider to provider.  Facebook only has the "url" in the template, which means Facebook fetches the url you give them, looks at og meta tags to get any text, images, etc.  GMail has a body tag where we can define what's in the email, some providers have title, etc.  If it will help to chat, grab me on irc.

Patch 2: add navigator.mozLoop methods to allow interaction between Loop and the Social API

Review of attachment 8580750 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Its a little strange that the share button is disabled on pages like about:home, especially when it makes sense to start up FF and attempt to jump straight into a conversation. It certainly confused me when I started FF and then tried to share the conversation but found the button disabled.

Please could you file a bug about that for UX to consider (or ensure there is one)

This is because the Loop window(s), especially the conversation ones have a lifetime that is not connected to any browser window. The CustomizableUI object is, so when a window is closed, the listener(s) will be removed as well. If the chat window is undocked, it will continue to exist even though its opener window may be gone.
That's why I preferred to rely on global notifications, rather than window-scoped event listeners.
Added support for the `body` graphData property for GMail - see comment 14.

I think we should make these new handle functions dispatch actions (like we do with _handleRoom{Update,Delete} already).

The reason is this gives us consistency - information coming in from external interfaces is always handled as actions, hence we can more easily track it and side effects are less likely.

I'm also thinking that in future if we want to split out some of these mozLoop interfaces or create multiple stores (due to complexity), then having everything going through actions already will make that easier.

I can't see any reason to have this in this bug. I think we should split it out somewhere else. On my browser its also shown half way down the page (scrolled off the bottom). I'm also tempted to say we should have some default noscript text here even if its english only.

I don't see this. Odd. How can I reproduce this?

> - There's a scroll bar which shows blank space to the right of the video.

The above might be due to this issue. I added `body { overflow: hidden }` at some point, but removed it from this patch. It seems I need to re-add it!

I added it to this patch, because the Facebook & G+ share providers fetch the page on their servers and prune it for content to use in the preview that is shown on the timeline after publishing the intent.
We can add a generic intro text in the <noscript> block too, but that one won't be localizable without pre-processing on the server that serves the LC page. I think that's something we should discuss and define in a separate bug.
The fact that it's shown half way down the page is not an issue. It's essential only that the image is there for a server side script to find, not for the user to see.
Patch with comments addressed.

Shane, no matter what I try, I keep failing mochitests on our infra - not locally!! - for Patch 2.
See https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=8fb2a808e1a6 for an example.

As you can see, it consistently leaks _two_ 'about:mozilla' windows, which I have no idea where they're coming from. Do you have any ideas?
Flags: needinfo?(mixedpuppy)
Only place I see you using about:mozilla is in browser_mozLoop_sharingListener.js.  Tabs are added and removed, but you don't wait on the removal of the tabs, I would try that.  I also see various other js failures in there, such as https connection failures with loop, not sure at what point it is happening or whether it would be a contributing factor.

05:48:25     INFO -  578 INFO Console message: [JavaScript Error: "An error occurred during a connection to fail-handshake.example.com:443.
05:48:25     INFO -  SSL received an unexpected Client Hello handshake message.
05:48:25     INFO -  (Error code: ssl_error_rx_unexpected_client_hello)

I'm out today, can look further next week if you need help.
Flags: needinfo?(mixedpuppy)
With leaks like this I often try --repeat 20 or something to see if it will force a leak.  Tried that here, but other problems crop up.

Running with ."/mach mochitest-browser --repeat 2 browser/components/loop/test/mochitest/" I get a number of errors.  kShareProvider isn't removed in the new test file (could cause more issues if socialapi tests were run after loop tests), and some errors in browser/components/loop/test/mochitest/browser_toolbarbutton.js  (which I didn't look into)

This fixes the provider removal:

registerCleanupFunction(function() {
  yield new Promise(resolve => SocialService.disableProvider(kShareProvider.origin, resolve));
  yield new Promise(resolve => SocialService.disableProvider(kShareProviderInvalid.origin, resolve));
  Assert.strictEqual(Social.providers.length, 0, "all providers should be removed");
  SocialShare.uninit();
});

IMO you can also remove the worker script from kShareProvider, shouldn't be necessary for your tests. 


There is also lots of these in the output:

JavaScript error: resource:///modules/loop/MozLoopAPI.jsm, line 1059: TypeError: targetWindow.CustomEvent is not a constructor

I'm not able to reproduce the leak of about:mozilla windows from browser_mozLoop_sharingListener.js.  I suspect you need to wait on the tab removal, ensure the leak is not from that test.  e.g.

gBrowser.removeTab(gBrowser.selectedTab);
gBrowser.tabContainer.addEventListener("TabClose", function onTabClose() {
  gBrowser.tabContainer.removeEventListener("TabClose", onTabClose);
  // continue after this
});

Mike, you marked this as not needing qe verification, but since this adds new UI and behavior, I think it would benefit from some testing. That doesn't have to be verifying every aspect of each patch. 

Let's at least give a heads up to QE that this is coming in 39. 

Florin I leave it to you how you want to handle this; maybe you can add the URL sharing interface to your team's exploratory testing for 39 once this lands. Thanks!

Sure, I've set up a placeholder. The article will be up in a couple of hours.

If we need a URL for the release notes, please use this one: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/share-firefox-hello-social

If we need an in-product link, please let me know and I'll set up a special URL for it.

Thanks Joni! No in-product link is needed.
This was added to Firefox39 release notes on 06-11-2015. Updating the relnote-firefox flag to reflect that.

Per Whistler meeting, we will continue promoting new features on Hello. There will be a blog post which includes a mention of Hello share feature for 39. 

Draft of Hello portion:

"Today, we’re announcing that Firefox Share has been integrated into Hello.
{SCREENSHOT}
Hello beta, which we’ve been developing with our close partner, Telefonica, is the only in-browser video chat tool that doesn’t require an account or extra software downloads. You might recall that we recently added screensharing to Hello to make it easier to share anything you’re looking at in your conversation. Now you can also send a link to friends via the social network or email of your choice to invite them to a Hello video conversation."

> Hello beta, which we’ve been developing with our close partner, Telefonica,

The first half of this sounds awkward. "Hello beta, which we've been ..." in particular. To me it sounds awkward because I perceived "Hello" as a greeting, not a proper noun. I then understood "beta" to be a reference to the beta population. So reading "Hello beta, which we've been ..." sounds like "Hi beta users, which we've been ..." which doesn't make grammatical sense.

I'm not sure the "beta" wording is necessary to call out here. This would all sound much less ambiguous if it was written as "Firefox Hello, which we've been ...".

Is "Firefox Share" a product name?
Agreed with jaws too, I don't think we referred to "Hello Beta" before, should we rather refer to "Firefox Hello"?

We want to make sure to call out that Hello is still in beta as it has a label. I agree with you guys we should say Firefox Hello, I'll get that updated. We can treat the beta label in a way that makes sense, perhaps italics. 

> Is "Firefox Share" a product name?
Yes, this is the name that has been used since first launch. I refer to it as "shareplane" internally.
