1137141 - Contacts tab doesn't appear after login with FxA

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P1)

Description

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

I noticed that the Contacts tab doesn't show and hide anymore after logging in and out with FxA. Only after a browser restart does the tab appear.

This is critical and greatly reduces the usability of Loop/ Hello, because there's no way to access the direct calling feature this way.

Comment 1

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

I introduced this bug in my patch for bug : here `shouldComponentUpdate` was introduced for the TabView component in panel.jsx. It checks for changed properties, but only for the components' changed state, not its properties. The `buttonsHidden` property is the one we need to account for, because it determines whether the Contacts tab buttons is shown.

This unfortunately affects release, Fx 36, and IMHO warrants a point release.

The thing I don't understand yet is why `browser/components/loop/test/mochitest/browser_toolbar.js` didn't catch this bug... I'm investigating this atm.

Comment 4

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: This is impacting the FTU experience for Loop/ Hello direct calling. At the moment the contacts tab does _not_ show immediately after login with an Fx Account, only after a full browser restart.

Can we write a browser chrome test that would have caught this?

Yes, I attached a test update patch just now. I was hinting at this in comment 3.

 I know we are tracking this for release and there is probably going to be a 36.0.1.  Can you nominate it for uplift? Thanks!

Comment 13

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

ni Sylvestre to review this bug for inclusion in 36.0.1, which gtb early this week.

Mike - It's preferable to get an uplift request by early Monday so that we can include the fix in 36.0.1 and 37 Beta 2.

Comment 14

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

It is on my track list and we exchanged with Liz on this topic, no worries!

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 1121210
[User impact if declined]: After login with FxA, the user won't see the contacts tab inside the Loop panel _until_ he or she restarts the browser. This should happen instantly after login.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: landed on m-c, adjusted unit tests to fail when this patch is not applied.
[Risks and why]: minor
[String/UUID change made/needed]: n/a

I was able to reproduce this issue on Firefox 39.0a1 (2015-02-26) using Windows 7 x64.
Verified fixed on Firefox 39.0a1 (2015-03-03), Firefox Dev Edition 38.0a2 (2015-03-03) and Firefox 37 Beta 2 (20150302192546) using Windows 7 x64, Ubuntu 13.10 x64 and Mac OS X 10.8.5.

I have noticed a potential issue: using a clean profile, after the first login with FxA, the Contacts tab appears with a delay of about 3 seconds.
 
Should I file another bug for this issues?

Hi Vasilica, thanks for verifying this issue! It's expected that the contacts tab appears with a small delay. The FxA login process isn't the fastest, so no need to file an issue for this.

Comment 25

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

Mike, would naïve users expect that delay? If not, maybe a new bug suggesting a spinner implementation would make sense… what do you think?

Comment 26

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

Hmm, you've got a point but that spinner would need to be on the toolbar button methinks.
