1218834 - WebIDE does not detect Firefox OS phone if an Android phone is plugged in at the same time.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect)

Description

[Jukka Jylänki]

STR:

1. Connect an Android phone via USB.
2. Connect a Firefox OS phone via USB (order of 1&2 don't matter)
3. Verify that 'adb devices' finds both devices:

List of devices attached
04aa524f0025c590       device
YT910W80VA      device

The first on the list is the Android phone (Nexus 5), second is the foxfooding Sony phone.

4. Open up WebIDE in FF Nightly.

Observed: On the right hand side under "USB DEVICES", the Firefox OS phone does not show up, but the list reads "Can't see your device".

Under this scenario, the ffdb.py tool at https://github.com/juj/emrun is correctly able to talk to the Firefox OS phone both via ADB and DevTools connections.

5. Disconnect the Nexus Android phone from USB and restart the browser and WebIDE.

Observed: The Firefox OS phone does now correctly show up as "Firefox OS (Xperia Z3 Compact (B2G))".



Expected: WebIDE should not be confused by the presence of an Android phone.

Yes, this is a known issue.  The ADB Helper add-on that enumerates devices needs changes to properly list multiple connected devices.

This variant no longer seems meaningful to track since B2G support is going away.
