While a panel is open, the button should stay pressed and clicking it again should result in closing the panel. Currently sometimes instead of closing, another panel overlays the previous. (Especially when quickly trying to close the panel again)
I'll take this one…

Let's not do this hidePopup check. We only call this code when we get a click event, so I don't see how we could be quitting at the same time. Presumably something else must be doing on in Jetpack.

There's a race here. We insert the panel into the document immediately, but don't open it until the page loads. Calling `hidePopup` before it opens will essentially have no effect. This probably still work better than the previous behavior, but it might have some undesirable effects if the panel load stalls.


Anyway, I'll file a separate bug for that.
Oh!  I totally forgot the first part of the bug, where the button doesn't stay pressed!  So, next patch fixes that, and while I was there, tries to address the race Kris pointed out…

Over-all behavior is fine, but somehow the button, instead of staying pressed, flickers while opening. Noticeable on the thick border appearing on the pressed state, disappearing, and coming back again to stay pressed.
This behavior does not exist on the menu- and download-buttons, but exist even more obviously on the hello button (bug 1218797).
Attachment #8677474 - Flags: ui-review?(mjaritz) → ui-review-
And on opening another panel, the webextension button stays active slightly longer than menu button does, leading to a noticeable overlap where both buttons appear to be pressed.
Okay, I think I fixed the flickering.  I also did what I could for the overlap, and now I believe it's mostly the animation making it look like both buttons are pressed.  Is the new version worse than the downloads button?  Is it worse enough to stop this improvement from landing?

r- because of the openPopup issue.

What's this "open" attribute for? I don't see it used.

(Diff revision 4)
> +      return panel.openPopup(anchor, "bottomcenter topright", 0, 0, false, false);

This is not correct. We're supposed to actually reload the popup HTML every time they click the button. Adblock Plus for Chrome depends on this, and probably lots of other add-ons. I'm sorry we don't have a test for this, but we should.

::: browser/components/extensions/ext-utils.js:169

Same thing about "open".

We should only hit this case if the button was clicked while we're waiting for the popup to open. If the previous popup was shown and then closed, we'd still get a fresh load. Fortunately, we *do* have a test for this. :)

Ah. Interesting solution. I like it. I'd suggest using `.popupState` rather than the `panelopen` attribute, though.

This doesn't really address Kris's original comment about the race. The user clicked on the button and it's taking a long time to load. So they click again and now we'll show a panel that's presumably empty. It might not have any content, so maybe it will just have size 0? I'd kinda rather we do nothing and just return here.

The right thing to do might be to cancel opening the popup. That's not that easy, though, and I doubt this will happen much.

Maybe file a follow-up for this issue? In any case, I think this patch is fine.

In that case, shouldn't the panel be in the `opening` state, not the `open` state, and so we would ignore the second click, and end up with an open panel when its done loading?

I don't think so. We don't call openPopup until everything is done loading, so I think the state will just be "closed" until loading the popup content is complete.
I think, with the patch, the second time the button is clicked, if the popup hasn't opened yet, it should open with a partially loaded iframe. If it's clicked again, the popup should close and be removed from the document, whether it's finished loading or not.

There are still a few ways that's not great, but I think any solutions that are better than this one are outside the scope of this patch. I'll file a follow-up bug today.

Well, hold up a second there.  The patch got backed out for test failures, so I'll need to go mucking about in the code again, and maybe I can fix the behaviour while I'm there…
Backed out by https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/fx-team/rev/9891a6101cfd because of bc failures like

I think it would be better to save it for a separate bug. I'm pretty sure it's going to take a fair amount of restructuring to handle attempts to close the popup before it's finished loading fully (e.g., for bug 1190663).

I think your solution is good for now, I just think we need a follow-up to iron out some more corner cases when we wind up opening/closing the popup early.

So, it turns out that the solution I posted _doesn't_ reload the popup's html when the panel is re-opened, which is what (eventually) caused the test failures.  So I'm going with something slightly different, but it's exposing a bug in the underlying toolbarbutton code, but maybe I'm just going to live with that…  Patch coming to reviewboard in a couple of seconds.

And now the oddities…

This behaves the same on the downloads button, so I'm not sure if I'm going to fix it in this bug, but:
1) If you have an open panel, and you click on the button at the bottom corners (not on the icon), then the panel doesn't go away.
2) If you have an open panel, and you hold down the button until the popup is gone, then let go, the popup re-appears.

Can you explain why this is the right thing to do? The state will only be "hiding" if we're within a popuphiding event handler. It might help if you could post a stack of how we get here from popuphiding.

Also, it sounds like we're no longer going to be toggling with this new patch. Is that true?

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/22945/#review21765

From talking to Blake, here's what happens on Windows:
- When the user clicks on the button again, it's outside the panel, which causes the panel to start hiding.
- The state remains "hiding" until the panel closing animation is complete.
- Meanwhile, we get a "command" event because the button was clicked.
- And the panel is (hopefully) still in the "hiding" state at that point.

This is kinda sketchy. For example, on Linux we don't do the animation and so I think we won't be in the hiding state. However, the downloads button doesn't toggle for me on Linux, probably for the same reason. So I guess we'll have the same behavior as the downloads button.
Attachment #8677474 - Flags: review?(wmccloskey) → review+
I currently see a second panel opening if I try closing the panel too quick.
And I also have 2 panels to close after that.
If I click near the edge of the button, I can open as many duplicates as I want, which seams to me should not be possible. It is even hard closing them again as they stay when I open other panels.
(experienced on Windows 10)

I think Bill has this pretty well covered, so I'm unflagging myself for review.

Your latest change and comment 35 make me think that we should revisit how we're interacting with the popup lifecycle, though, so I'm holding off filing a follow-up bug until I understand a few things better. But it seems like we should begin showing the popup, and enter the showing state, as soon as the button is clicked, and finish showing it/enter the shown state, once the browser has loaded. Which should simplify all the state checks we need for this bug, and allow us to just set the "open" attribute based on popupshowing/popuphidden events.
Attachment #8677474 - Flags: review?(kmaglione+bmo)
Yeah, see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218797#c6  It might be nice if we didn't need to do any of this stuff, and it could all be fixed in platform.  (Although I wonder how much of it is our fault for using `type: "custom"` instead of `type: "view",` in the call to CustomizableUI.createWidget…)

WIP, don't review!  But any feedback on the approach would be appreciated…  ;)

One of the nice things with this is that we can get rid of a bunch of the browserAction code, _and_ we get stuff like https://www.dropbox.com/s/rjjqmrqcor9s9up/Screenshot%202015-11-10%2016.53.51.png?dl=0 for free.

So we're sharing the panel and browser between all WebExtensions now? There might be some side-effects that I don't know enough about (especially once we have OOP extensions), so I'll leave this part for Bill to review.


I don't really like how much code this duplicates from the pageAction version, though.

Nope. :)

I know this isn't new, but this should really only happen for the values returned by getContentSize.

I definitely like that this uses more of the CustomizableUI code for panel management, but I'm not so sure about sharing browsers between extensions, or duplicating so much of the logic across page action and browser panels.

Because the panel will be closed by the panel's click handler.  (For Linux, I think, because they don't have an animation?)  I'm hoping this code goes away, too, and I can use the same panelview for the pageActions, too.

Yeah, that was one of the bigger changes.  I checked with #fx-team, and we _shouldn't_ have more than one panel open at once, so in theory it's safe, but getting someone who knows the code better will be necessary.  :)

I agree, and I'll do a bunch of cleanup if this approach seems reasonable to everyone.

Needs to be `MouseEvent`. `EventUtils.synthesizeMouseAtCenter` would be better, though. Same for below.

Dispatching the same event twice is definitely not kosher...

This mostly looks good, but I've only really had a chance to skim. It does look like you might have sucked in some unrelated changes or accidentally backed out someone else's changeset, though.

Say, should I change the rest of the "evt = new MouseEvent("click", {});"s to "synthesizeMouseAtCenter"s?

Can you push to try again? I suspect this may have been responsible for some 
of the failures.

Probably. It doesn't matter for a lot of things, but real click events (and 
proper synthetic events) also send mouseup/mousedown/command events, which 
often matter in widget code.
Ugh.  I think I'm in over my head here.  I still think that the approach of using a "view" button instead of a "custom" button is the right one, but between my lack of knowledge of the CustomizableUI stuff and my lack of knowledge of the WebExtensions stuff, I can't seem to make any headway on the 39 remaining test failures, so I'm going to give this bug up.  :(

Gijs brought up a side-effect of this: When the buttons are in a menu, they'll get a slide-in view rather than a panel. I think the SDK currently cheats, and closes the menu, and re-anchors a new panel in its place. I'd rather stick with the slide-in view for now.

MozReview Request: Bug 1217129: Part 3 - Recalculate CustomizableUI panel arrow position after resize. r?gijs

I mostly like this, but I'm seeing some oddness that I think needs addressing before I can give it a ui-r+…

When the button is on the left side of the screen, the arrow is in the wrong place, as shown in https://www.dropbox.com/s/7pvr4gep7n0qgrq/Screenshot%202016-01-08%2011.12.38.png?dl=0

Every second time I try to open the panel, it seems to have no content, as shown in https://www.dropbox.com/s/wtxsymlxste99z3/Screenshot%202016-01-08%2011.15.47.png?dl=0

Hopefully there are some easy fixes for these, and I look forward to seeing the next version of the patch!  :D

This should be fired after onWidgetAfterDOMChange for sanity, I think?

Why do you need this, though? It isn't used in your third patch, it seems?

::: browser/components/customizableui/CustomizableUI.jsm:2447
(Diff revision 1)
> +      if (widgetNode && widget.onDestroyed) {

You don't really need this, either, as there's already an onWidgetDestroyed listener that we fire.

```
this.listener = {
  onWidgetDestroyed: widgetId => {
    if (this.id == widgetId) {
      for (let win of CustomizableUI.windows) {
        let view = win.document.getElementById(this.viewId);
        if (view) {
          view.remove();
        }
      }
      CustomizableUI.removeListener(this.listener);
    }
  }
}
CustomizableUI.addListener(this.listener);
```

I mean, that or use a single "delegate" style listener that kills off the views for every BrowserAction-related widget that gets destroyed. Either way, adding another callback on the widget itself doesn't really seem warranted to me. Feel free to argue with me if you disagree, though! :-)

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/29995/#review26911

I don't think I should really review the web-extensions internal refactoring of the basepopup/openpopup/panelpopup things. But the use of CUI looks reasonable, though I think there's a few things we should change in CUI rather than workaround here. So f+, but probably not r+ right now? :-)

Would you be OK with having someone else review the webextensions bits or would you prefer I dive in? I can do that, but it will take me longer.

::: browser/components/extensions/ext-browserAction.js:64
(Diff revision 1)
> +      label: this.defaults.title || " ",
> +      tooltiptext: this.defaults.title || " ",

While we're here... we shouldn't have the tooltip be the same as the label.

What's the point of a button with no label? TBH, I think that property should be required, but I suppose that's not possible for some reason? Can we know the name of the add-on and fall back on that?

We should probably add support to CUI to allow not having a tooltiptext at all - it seems right now we make buttons always have one, and that's wrong.

As a workaround, in onCreated you could remove the attribute, but that's a little hacky. We should just support having empty string mean "no tooltip".

... I suppose you're already doing that, kind of. IMO we should support it properly, though. Not having a label is an issue, not having a tooltiptext shouldn't be.

Why would popup be empty, and why doesn't emitting a click on the button re-enter? Or does that just mean you're notifying listeners rather than actually creating a click event? I don't see the implementation anywhere in your patch, so I have no idea.

::: browser/components/extensions/ext-browserAction.js:126

I don't think you need an aria-label when there is a label attribute.

Ah. Indeed. I think we need to have CUI adjust the position of the anchor
after we resize, since we don't know the final width as soon as it opens. It
currently only adjusts for height changes.

I'm not sure. I think I'd expect it to fire before the widget has been removed
from the document.

I added it mainly for symmetry with onBeforeCreated/onCreated. I'd initially
planned to use this in my patch rather than onDestroyed, but eventually
decided the latter made more sense.

I thought about using an onWidgetDestroyed listener at first, but it seemed to
leave too many chances for things to get out of sync. It would mean moving my
cleanup code farther away from my creation code, for one thing, which makes
mistakes easier to miss. It would also mean iterating over windows myself,
when CUI already knows which windows to iterate over better than I do, and is
already doing it.

It also just seemed to make sense to have a destroy listener to match the
create listener. If the main purpose of the onBeforeCreated listener is to
create nodes in a document the widget is about to be added to, everyone who
uses it is also going to have to remove those nodes, so it makes sense to have
them all do it the same way (and it doesn't hurt to have the method there to
remind them they have to do it).

Honestly, I don't think there's anyone better qualified at this point. Bill is
the only other person who's really worked on this code, and I think that your
front-end knowledge is much better than either of ours, so I'd appreciate it
if you can look into it.

I've also been thinking that it might make sense to move the location bar icon
logic into CUI, which you might have some thoughts on.

Yeah, that occurred to me too, but I decided to save it for a follow-up. I
think the label should probably always be the add-on name, regardless of the
title attribute, but it requires some investigation.

I was mainly trying to avoid the console errors when it failed to look up the
localized string:

console.error: 
  [CustomizableUI]
  Could not localize property 'click-test_kmaglione_mozilla_com-browser-action.label'.
console.error: 
  [CustomizableUI]
  Could not localize property 'click-test_kmaglione_mozilla_com-browser-action.tooltiptext'.

I agree this isn't a great solution, though. Maybe an empty string should be
treated differently from other falsy values, and not fall back to locale
strings.

The "popup" property is a URL for the popup. It's not a great name, but that's
what the defines.

If there's a popup URL, clicking the button shows a popup, but doesn't send a
click event. If there isn't, it sends a click event, but doesn't show a popup.

This isn't a DOM event, it's an internal event that eventually gets routed to
a WebExtension API event, so it doesn't have any impact on the button node.

I didn't think so either, but I'm pretty sure you're the one who suggested we

I don't. There seems to be some kind of layout black magic involved. I spent a
couple of hours trying to figure it out and eventually gave up.

I hope that the WebExtension code will come to be seen as just another part of the frontend, so it would be great for more frontend developers to start understanding and reviewing the code. It's probably more work for you in the short-term, Gijs, but I think it's good for Mozilla if all our code looks and feels the same.

I looked into this a bit more. I couldn't reproduce the problem at first, and
then I realized it only happened with "noautohide" set, which I was using for
testing. In that case, the attributes seem to take precedence over the style
properties when set here.

It's extremely flaky and timing-sensitive, though. If I try setting the same
properties in the DOM inspector, rather than in my code, they don't have any
effect. It also depends on me giving the browser initial width and height
properties before the popup is shown (if I don't, the internal popup code adds
width and height attributes to the panel).

I'm going to dig into this a bit more, since Blake's still seeing inconsistent
behavior, and I still don't know what's going on.

Maybe you'd realized this already, but in case it's helpful:
0) pretty sure the XUL internal code relies on the attributes for certain things, and they might have precedence there over style (but they might not... I just vaguely recall something funny there)
1) we transition arrowpanel popups everywhere but on Linux (because Linux), and then
2) we mess with panel sizing in panel.xml (in browser/components/customizableui) and also listen for the end of those transitions to do some of that. For some funkiness we've already seen here, see bug 1088637 and (reading the symptoms Blake described, perhaps especially:) bug 1029937.

OK. I will take more time to review the next pass and get to know my way around the rest of the webextensions code a little better.

Yeeeaaaahh... in web extensions, can the same buttons be used in the url bar and outside of it? Basically, CUI has a set of areas and a set of widgets, and in principle all widgets can go to any area. That doesn't play so well with the in-URL bar icons...

Taking a step back, why did you want to do this? :-)

Well, that's embarrassing.

Reading the bug (bug 1197422) again... this is because of bug 1123760... is this code used for in-urlbar-buttons ? That's somewhat surprising to me. But the problem in bug 1123760 occurs at least in part because the buttons themselves have no label attribute - only a tooltiptext. I *think* that it might be OK when they do have a label. I can test that later this week.

Yeah, the attributes were definitely causing most of the weird behavior. I
eventually figured out the two main issues:

1) If the panel doesn't start out large enough to accommodate the arrow and
other decorations, the popup manager sees a resize event, notices that the
panel is larger than the layout code thinks it should be, assumes the OS has
resized it, and adds width and height attributes to the panel, to respect what
it assumes is the user-chosen size.

That logic was apparently added to allow for popups resizable with titlebars
and normal window decorations, so it probably shouldn't apply to non-resizable
popups like ours. But I really don't want to block this on fixing a layout bug
like that, so my short term solution is to create the popup with a
reasonably-sized browser that doesn't trigger that behavior.

2) Setting the width and height attributes of the browser before the popup is
shown always results in the correct size. Changing the attributes after it's
shown doesn't correctly update the size in the case of the PanelUI popup. They
also have strange interactions with the CSS properties. The CSS width property
seems to override the width attribute, but the height attribute seems to
override the CSS height property.

Leaving out the attributes altogether and sticking entirely to CSS sizing
seems to work, as long as I don't trigger the panel sizing issue.

Yeah, I noticed that. I've run into themes that turn on transitions for popups
on Linux and break everything, so I'm not surprised.

I don't think that was causing the issues I was seeing, but I did try testing
with all of the transition code/CSS disabled, even though it look like it was
being used.

I did notice that code, but I had a hard time following it. It looked like
most of it wasn't used in popups without subviews, so I figured it wasn't
related. Thanks for the context, though. I'll double check to make sure we're
handling that correctly.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think you're right. *Technically*,
there's no reason the urlbar buttons couldn't be used elsewhere, and I think
that would be the easiest way to let users remove urlbar buttons they don't
want, but I'm also not sure it's a good idea.

> Taking a step back, why did you want to do this? :-)

Well, for a few reasons.

Mainly, it feels strange to use a completely different implementation for page
action and browser action buttons that do essentially the same thing.
Especially in the case of the panel code panel code, where they currently look
and behave differently, but ideally should be the same.

Maybe the better solution is a separate module with a similar (but simpler)
interface, and ideally using as much of the same PanelUI code as possible.

I could try to mimic the behavior and styling of the panels in WebExtension
code, or somehow try to reuse the panel logic from there, but that seems
certain to cause trouble down the road. And it would be nice for other urlbar
button code to be able to build on the same implementation.

I thought about this a bit more and came to the conclusion that we should
probably default to the extension name for both the label and the tooltip.
Chrome doesn't really have a concept of labels for toolbar buttons, so the
title attribute just sets the tooltip.

I think, in the case of the label shown in the main menu, the title is also
the property that makes the most sense. The extension name might not always be
relevant, and we don't currently have a separate API to set the label.

It might be a good idea to add a label property in the future, but for now I
think I'm going to stick with the title (defaulting to the add-on name) for
both.

I wrote a patch for this behavior, but I don't actually need it if we're going
to be defaulting to the add-on name instead. Do you still want it?

Ah, you're right. This got added to the toolbar button code when I updated it
to match the implementation of the urlbar button code. I guess it can go,
then.
Blake, can you test again with this build when you get a chance? http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/try-builds/maglione.k@gmail.com-3083106c1a4632dc883061ddb3a920f48ef87c1b/try-macosx64/

I did test on OS-X, but I couldn't reproduce your intermittent panel sizing problem in the first place, so I don't know if it's fixed.

This version addresses some popup sizing bugs, and also a few other issues I
ran into when debugging Blake's problems:

 * The standalone popup needs a max width of 800px for Chrome compatibility,
   which is wider than our default max width.

 * I added a flex attribute to our browser so that it fills the entire space
   of the slide-in panel. This is only necessary for browsers with content
   that is shorter than the height of the panel when it gets its desired
   width, but becomes longer when it doesn't, so it didn't show up in my
   initial tests.

 * I also added an extra pixel to the width calculations, since I noticed that
   a lot of single lines of text were unexpectedly wrapping without it. I'll
   look into this more in a follow-up bug.

I also added some comments, and renamed a couple of variables, where things
seemed unclear.

The test changes are mostly just updates to older browser action tests to use
newer helpers, rather than ad-hoc events, to open/close/click the widgets. A
few tests also needed updates to explicitly close the panel when they were
done with it.

This seems unnecessary the first time the node is created, and this overwrites the empty tooltip fallback that we now use further up.

Pretty sure this has occasionally hit us in Linux tests. Do you see this on other OSes? Can you file a followup bug with more details inasmuch as you have them? We should try to get to the bottom of this at some point. :-\

Probably. It's cheap enough, but storing it in a variable would at least make it easier to read.

> This seems unnecessary the first time the node is created, and this overwrites the empty tooltip fallback that we now use further up.

I agree that it's unnecessary, but I don't really have a better solution. The rest of the changes this function makes are necessary, so we still have to call it. Adding a special case to skip these attributes the first time doesn't seem worth it, and I can't skip passing the values to `createWidget`.

Although, if it comes to it, it's not entirely unnecessary. There will be cases where the default name changes between the time we create the widget and the time we create a node for a specific window, e.g., when the default add-on changes the default name and then we open a new browser window.

It doesn't eliminate the fallback, though. It now falls back to the extension name in all cases.

> This can throw if the add-on provides an invalid URL. What happens in this case, and is that the right thing? Is there a test for what happens in this case?

I don't think it ever throws when there's a base URI to resolve relative to. I can't think of any string that would cause it to, anyway. There are currently tests for URLs that throw a security error in the next line, though.

> I wonder if this should null out things so we don't accidentally leak and/or try to reuse this object.

Yeah, I think it should.

> This is undefined for the base popup. I guess event.type should never be undefined, so behaviourally that shouldn't matter, but it's an interesting weirdness here. Can you add a comment?

Yeah. I'll add a getter to the base class with a doc comment. It should probably throw a not implemented error too.

Yuuuup... That's unexpectedly good news. I'll make a note to check this against that when it lands.

> This should anchor on the icon inside the button.

There's no button here, just an icon. This is only used for urlbar popups. I guess that was a badly-chosen argument name.

> Shouldn't/Couldn't this be closeBrowserActionPopup(extension, win); ?

Yeah. I think I wound up changing one or both of these in the next commit.

> Pretty sure this has occasionally hit us in Linux tests. Do you see this on other OSes? Can you file a followup bug with more details inasmuch as you have them? We should try to get to the bottom of this at some point. :-\

I was seeing it on Linux, yeah. I just tried it on a Mac and couldn't reproduce it, but that Mac is much slower than my development machine, and this feels like a race, so that may not mean anything.

I'll try to look into it some more and see if I can get more details. Right now, I don't think I even have enough to file a bug.

It does only seem to happen the first time the test opens the popup. If I use --run-until-failure, and it doesn't hit immediately, then it never does.
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/30379/#review27239

> We should ensure that this still throws an error if you pass "" for the label.

Hm. Yeah. I was assuming that would be checked by `normalizeWidget`, but it can't, since it doesn't know about localized properties.
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/29995/#review27257

When the toolbar button is placed on the left side of the screen, and the panel is opened, and then eventually resized, it grows to the right, since there isn't room to grow to the left. At that point, the arrow is still positioned relative to the right of the panel, though, so it no longer points to the anchor.

This is the issue that Blake reported.

I suspect this may affect some other panels, but probably not very many. It should only be an issue for panels which change size after they're shown, and rely on automatic sizing to their contents rather than `panel.sizeTo`, which already calls `adjustArrowPosition`.

I guess, ideally, all arrow panels should automatically do this when they're resized, but I think that may depend on the layout engine emitting some more useful events. The PanelUI popups already have mutation observers for size changes, so it seems to make sense to do the calculation there. I don't know if it would make sense to do the same for arrow panels in general...

> For clarity, can you factor this out into its own method as well, and use the same kind of positive check as for shouldSetPosition() ?

Yeah, makes sense.

Yeah, it was nearly all code movement to allow running a second set of tests.
I was hoping reviewboard would do a better job of showing that. It wound up
doing completely different things for the two test files with pretty much the
same set of changes.
