Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
1) Unknown browser:
http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/importer/issues/unknown_browser
I think valid additions are:
* Android Webview
* Edge


2) Unknown browser version:
http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/importer/issues/unknown_version
I think valid additions are:
* Opera Mobile version 23 to 31

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Less importer issues, better compat data.

Who would use this?
===================
Compat data store

What would users see?
=====================
Nice data.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Be happy.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
Will post to dev-mdc and ask for consensus on adding "Edge" and "Android Webview".

Comment 1

[John Whitlock [:jwhitlock]]

After no objections from dev-mdc, added new browsers and versions:

Android Webview: https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/16
Edge: https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/17
Opera Mobile 23-31: https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/13

Comment 2

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

Thanks, John! Some feedback:

Opera (desktop) needs version 30 and 31, too.

Edge needs at least "current"
Android Webview needs at least "current"

Comment 3

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

Chrome for Android: version 35 is missing.

Comment 4

[Luke Crouch [:groovecoder]]

:jwhitlock - is there a way to give :fscholz permissions on BrowserCompat to add browsers & versions so you aren't the single-point-of-bottleneck for it?

Comment 5

[John Whitlock [:jwhitlock]]

:fscholz - if you're willing, here's how:

1) Create an account - either Username + Password (https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/accounts/signup/) or FxA (http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/accounts/login/).  FxA auth might be broken.
2) Figure out the ID of the browser (Opera is 11) - http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers
3) Load the Versions collection in the browsable API - http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/api/v1/versions
4) At the bottom, select the "Raw Data" tab.
5) Enter in the JSON for a new version:

{
  "versions": {
    "version": "current",
    "status": "current",
    "links": {
      "browser": "11"
    }
  }
}

The JSON has to be valid - validate with http://jsonlint.com.

If this is too complex, I can add the versions.

Thanks again, John!

This has worked. I got a 500 while signing up with username + pw, but the account got created. I used the form to create the versions I mentioned in comment 2 and comment 3.

I will investigate more importer issues and add versions as needed.
