1136143 - Whatsnew URL is not set correctly when Firefox updates

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect)

Description

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

I just updated from 35.0.1 under GNU/Linux with a French version of Fx.

The uitour fails with two issues:
1) The URL is https://www.mozilla.org/%locale%/firefox/36.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=35.0.1
2) certificate error:
sec_error_ocsp_unknown_cert

Florin, did you test the tour with other locales? Thanks

Following URL is working for me: https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/36.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=35.0.1

Looks like it's not populating the URL correctly when Firefox updates:

https://www.mozilla.org/%locale%/firefox/36.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=35.0

%locale% should be replaced by the locale e.g. 'fr'

Confirm by :Jeremie on Mac OS X French

This is not specific to French locale either it seems, same just happened for me with en-US :(

The offender is http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/rev/8bef1c3063a1#l1.19 which added %locale% in lower case into the release blob what prevented Balrog interpolate it.

I changed the blob manually in Balrog to use %LOCALE%.

This should be fixed now.

I just tried updating again and the URL opens correctly, thanks :)

Verification of fixes for the UI Tour were done on the test environment at https://www-demo2.allizom.org/, and it seems this was setup only with the en-US page (e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1122101#c20). Even if this doesn't seem to have been specific to locales, I'm not sure how this should have been setup to catch this type of issue. Any ideas?

I tried the scenario of updating from 35.0.1 (fr) on Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 14.04 x64 (fresh profiles). In both cases I got: https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/36.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=35.0.1, so I can confirm this should work now.

I manually inspected the update XML files and they look ok to me.
