When the telemetry environment changes, the old subsession is submitted with the new environment data. This is incorrect: what we care about is associating the data in that ping with the environment that was active at the time the data was collected.

If it's easy to do, it's ok to *also* submit the new environment, so that we can compare what changed. But that is not a requirement.

Thanks for reviewing this!

Yes, that means we miss environment change notifications during the first minute. But since TelemetrySession is not initialised as well, would it make sense to get changes notification before?

That's a very good point. If a change takes place while TelemetryEnvironment is still collecting, then a mixed environment gets collected. We could guard against this case by forcing cache invalidation in |_doGetEnvironmentData| if multiple calls are detected?

In that case, the environment from before the first change is returned by TelemetryEnvironment.

bug1140558.patch - v2

This patch has been changed to address your input from last review (please check comment 7).
Attachment #8575927 - Flags: review?(vdjeric)
I think TelemetryEnvironment is still too complex here. It shouldn't be necessary to have an asynchronous getter for the environment at any point, and that will make downstream code simpler as well.

I think the API for TelemetryEnvironment should be as follows:

TelemetryEnvironment.getEnvironment() - sync getter can be called at any time. If the environment is not fully initialized, the environment data may not be complete (e.g. the addons manager isn't done yet so we don't have a list of active addons)
TelemetryEnvironment.onInitialized() - returns Promise<environment> which is resolved when all the environment data is available
TelemetryEnvironment.registerChangeListener(function(environment)) - the change listener is passed the new environment synchronously

And the TelemetrySession code should use the environment in this way:

At startup, call .getEnvironment to cache the environment for the first subsession.
Call .onInitialized and update the first subsession environment once we have the full data. From here, call .registerChangeListener.
Any call to the change listener starts a new subsession.

I can write the TelemetryEnvironment.jsm changes today, if this sounds like a reasonable plan.
if we can make getEnvironment synchronous, then your proposal is better. which current or future environment getters return Promises? is it only the addonManager?
The search provider will also be async-init. It doesn't look like any of the other data is async.
(In reply to Benjamin Smedberg  [:bsmedberg] from comment #12)

if you're ok with some pings missing addonManager & search provider info, then this would work. e.g. pings from short sessions

My only concern is with which object is owning the Environment data: TelemetryPing owns the Environment and is responsible for composing the common ping format (which contains the Environment data itself).

@vladan: other than the addonManager, |ProfileAge| is also returning promises.
We have two options. If we're missing data, we could either wait for it (block shutdown) or save the ping without it. Given my experience with the addon manager missing callbacks, I suspect that we'll have a more reliable system if we don't try to block on getting the data.
Attached patch environment-sync (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Checkpoint of code that's not working yet.
Attached patch environment-sync (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This implements the environment caching and passes xpcshell tests at least.

I'm a little bit worried about this because of performance concerns with getting the addons list. My understanding of the APIs is that they force us to load the addons cache, and this may be a performance problem. There even appears in the log of one of the tests this warning:

 0:01.46 PROCESS_OUTPUT: Thread-1 (pid:32292) "1426279053903    addons.xpi-utils        WARN    Synchronous load of XPI database due to getAddonsByType(theme)"

I don't know why this is synchronous, since .getAddonsByType is async. But I'm not the expert about this and so I'm looking for advice on the proper way to get the list of active addons near startup without janking the browser.

Unfortunately, we have to be more careful here. 
Even the addon was installed it doesn't mean it became active. Check addon.isActive too (onInstalled comes with an "addon" argument). Please see bug 1122050 comment 38 for more info.

Same here, we should be reporting changes only if the addon is active and doesn't require a restart:
 
 onUninstalling: function(addon, requiresRestart) {
      if (!addon.isActive || requiresRestart)

I don't think this is correct. _onChange gets the list of active addons and only fires notifications if the list has changed. So I don't think we need any of the more complex logic that was here originally and I removed it intentionally.

Yes this is debugging code that I can revert. We were rejecting a promise with `undefined` which ended up horking the stack trace.

AddonManager already calls setAddons during its startup with the list of active extensions (unchanged from classic Telemetry). Would this basic list be enough when the async request for detailed info hasn't completed yet?

Yes, we do risk that. And we have throttling issues also; I'd like to postpone dealing with that into bug 1143714.

The logger is prefixed with "TelemetryEnvironment::" so that using a message like "functionName - foo" results in a message like "TelemetryEnvironment::functionName - foo".

This is complaining in particular that something has changed the active theme before the add-ons database has been loaded, either a lightweight theme was applied or the theme pref changed basically. It shouldn't be the norm and likely only happens during testing.

Loading the database is meant to be asynchronous so I think it should be ok. Note that if all you care about is the extension IDs that are active then the pref extensions.enabledAddons holds that. It's a bit hacky to use that though.

> Definitely want to save it early, not pass/track the old environment.

Why? It actually seems better to have the environment take care of it instead of >= environment clients.
Also, there is the issue with addons & profile not being filled out initially, having the environment pass the old data seems simpler.
OS: Linux → All
Hardware: x86_64 → All
Version: unspecified → Trunk
This passes the old environment data along to change listeners.
To get this into the ping, we allow TelemetryPing clients to pass an environment data override.
Note: This includes minor readability & deduplication changes.

Per IRC, the current behavior in the patch (passing the old environment just before the change to the change listeners) is fine.

Yeah, good point.

In bug 1143714 there's a threshold for dropping environment changes and we log the drops, in this patch, we're dropping the changes almost silently. Add the changeReason to the log message + document in _onEnvironmentChange that throttling also happens further upstream in _checkChanges
On Windows, under some circumstances, gfx RAM was being reported as NaN and not as the expected null. This fixes the problem.

Gerv, this has an open license question, can you help on that?

This moves the deepEqual implementation from Assert.jsm [0] to a new ObjectUtils.jsm.
That implementation originally comes from Narwhaljs under the MIT license [1].

gfritzsche: MIT stuff can be stuck in an MPLed file, as long as you reproduce the MIT license text in the file and say what code it applies/applied to. So how it's done in Assert.jsm seems a little vague (unless the entire file was originally under MIT) but that's the basic idea.

So, any suggestions on improving it?
Do you think it's better to move the comment right to the main function that was moved over?
Or maybe it's better to keep it in a separate file?
Flags: needinfo?(gerv)
Also note that the question is about ObjectUtils.jsm, Assert.jsm is already in-tree with those comments.
If the MIT license reference applies only to a single section or function, stick the reference just above that section/function, and put an "End of previously MIT-licensed code" comment at the end, or something like that.

Or at the top, you can say "Portions of this file come from <source> and were licensed under the following license:
<terms>

Basically, make it clear that the entire file isn't ex-MIT. The more specific the better, but there's no hard legal standard I know of.

Hmm, we could miss a subsession's participation in an en experiment. At least it's not possible for a user to activate 2 experiments at the same time.

Hm, ok, there is a race potential, but with the current implementation we happen to not yield after this._getActiveExperiment() in _updateAddons().
So, if there is a _pendingTask running in _checkChanges() we should always pick up the current (last active) experiment.

Suggestion:
* i'll handle the issue i see there with the throttling in bug 1143714 over there
* i'll file a follow-up on either removing that race potential or explicitly factoring experiments out so we don't accidentally break that
Clearing ni?gerv per comment 54.

Nevermind that part - we always update the environment and just throttle firing the change events, so that part is fine.

This bug seems to have added a new test: toolkit/modules/tests/xpcshell/test_ObjectUtils.js

Currently,  Windows XP pgo is still building for this particular push:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=fx-team&revision=d2567d89cda3

But a commit that landed a few commits after has the test failing:

https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=fx-team&revision=895cf25d11fd

log: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=2520123&repo=fx-team
18:54:22 WARNING - TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | toolkit/modules/tests/xpcshell/test_ObjectUtils.js | xpcshell return code: 0
The test appears to be passing on non-pgo builds.

Digging a bit more into the test: it's failing on the very last check for circular refs:

The original test makes sure there /is/ an exception.
