It looks like onItemRemoved is called for every item in a removed folder, while Chrome only calls it for the folder. Not sure if there's anything we can do for that.

Really? I would expect the opposite since tagging service first removes the tagged urls and then calls _removeTagIfEmpty
How did you remove the tag? By chance does this happen if you remove a tag folder in the Library?

Yeah this is unfortunate.
Fwiw, the tagging service is so horrible that I wouldn't mind making it worse.
So if you think you'd benefit from that, you could expose a getTagForItemId from nsITaggingService, or use *cough* wrappedJSObject *cough*.
Regardless we will throw away that code for Tagging.jsm, as soon as we find any resources to work on that, then there will be no problem cause tags won't be bookmarks anymore (and we can party).

Unfortunately as Bill pointed out, we notify every removal, mostly cause most add-ons track urls rather than folders, that is a mere hierarchical annotation on a bookmark. We go recursively so children are notified before folders.
the only workaround I could suggest would be to store the deleted folder guid, and don't issue any url removal notification until an onItemRemoved for the given folder guid is hit. Then you would only notify folders. The problem is that if in the meanwhile something else removes a bookmark, you may wrongly filter out its notifications...

Could we maybe just change Bookmarks.jsm to give us the events that we need? So no tags and no notifications for items inside folders that are deleted.

> So no tags and no notifications for items inside folders that are deleted.
the no tags problem is an architectural one that will disappear naturally once we move them elsewhere, that I hope will happen next year. So I'd not care about it for now.
The problem with not sending notifications for items is that other listeners ARE expecting those notifications, so not sending them would broke them.
What we could do is to modify nsINavBookmarkObserver, add a readonly skipRemoveChildrenNotifications attribute and set it to true on the particular nsINavBookmarkObserver implementation you have. Then Bookmarks.jsm could check that flag on the observer when sending a remove notification of a bookmark and decide what to do.
It should be feasible, provided we assume the new attribute may not exist in the implementation so we keep compatibility with existing implementations, it will just need some additional xpcshell-tests in toolkit/places.
Even better, I think we may be able to reuse this in our treeviews to speed up folders removals.
So I started working on this and noticed something strange: When bookmarking with the star we don't seem to go through Bookmarks.jsm:insert at all?
Comment 7•9 years ago

heh, we never finished the porting from the old bookmarks API to Bookmarks.jsm, so some parts of the UI still use the old API...
That work is planned since the old API should be deprecated, but since all resources have been pulled I can't give you an ETA.
I don't see an easy way out, some removals will behave properly, others may still notify every child, until the switch to Bookmarks.jsm is complete.
Comment 8•9 years ago

fwiw, we could implement skipping also in the old cpp implementation and it should work
I now started checking the webextension flag in nsNavBookmarks.jsm. However there are still tons of macro invocations that need to be verified.

At the moment I am a bit busy with exam work, so I can't work on this for the next two weeks. It would be interesting to know if the changes to nsNavBookmarks.cpp make sense. If somebody would actual just do the C++ part we could get this landed after adding tests.

Comment 13•9 years ago

As I said, we need to add a settable attribute to nsINavBookmarkObserver (something like "skipChildrenOnFolderDelete"), and when something notifies onItemRemove, it should check if the observer supports that attribute (old observers won't have it) and check its value, then notify everything or only the folder.
The patch looks on the right direction, I'd probably change the attribute name, and try to not hide all the logic in the macro (that is, try to retain the existing macros and add logic code around their invokation) since in the end it's only onItemRemoved changing.
The tags filtering problem, imo, should be left alone for now and properly fixed separately.

I audited all the places in nsNavBookmarks.cpp that add or remove items. This is usually seems to be enough to prevent tags from showing up in the event listener.
We need to change onItemAdded as well, because we don't get a grandparent id for these either. I think changing the macro is a good idea, because otherwise we will have to add this ugly code for checking the listener everywhere.
Now we need to tests for both the old and the new API.

v2 Bookmarks
Review of attachment 8730126 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry, but I'd really like the 2 attributes split into skipDescendantsOnItemRemoval and skipTags. Their meaning is pretty clear I think.
The reason is the former will be re-used in Firefox (I already know where we could benefit from it), while the latter will be removed and ignored as soon as we convert tags. It will be useful during the conversion probably.
I'll accept the macros changes, though I wonder if alternatively we could add a "skipIf" part to the existing macros and put the check in the calling point? I want things to be more explicit.
Same for the notify js methods, we could pass a boolean filtering function, this is also easier to do than the cpp part and will work better if we add more options (also for history).

pay attention to not confuse "changes to a tag", with "changing tags of an item"
I think the latter should be notified, and filtered later if webExt doesn't care about the change (it will just have to check the changing property is not "tags")

Yep, this needs a test for each of the 2 properties and each of the 2 bookmarking APIs. Then you'll likely need tests for webext...
Note, the comments about the points where you missed to skip in Bookmarks.jsm are likely also valid for nsNavBookmarks.cpp

I don't like the fact you are adding a new observer per each notification, it is not efficient, cause the bookmarks service notifies all topics to all observers, and you are adding 4 new ones that will have to be notified every time.
I'd prefer if the bookmarks observer would be unique, even if that complicates the code a little bit, it will not be a perf hit.

why is this not also handling the case where a tag folder is removed? That can happen when there are no more entries for a given tag.

Let's just pass isTagging and isDescendantRemoval to NOTIFY_BOOKMARKS_OBSERVERS as booleans, and avoid all these calls.

I have rebased Tom's latest patch against m-c and submitted it as a MozReview request. There are still some outstanding issues with it as raised against the earlier patches in Bugzilla comments. Also, a significant part of the patch involves native changes that I am not in a position to work on. I gather from earlier comments that these changes are for the most part r+'d, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I would need someone else to work on those parts, perhaps Marco, Kris or Andrew. I think it might make the most sense to split those into a separate bug which could block then JavaScript changes and could potentially land ahead of the JS changes. I see that Marco is away until Aug 20 and is not accepting needinfo requests. Are any of the above-mentioned people willing to take the native changes in in a separate bug?

Where would I do this? I am creating the observer in `getObserver` if it doesn't exist, but I cannot check in getObserver to see if there are any listeners because I may be just about to add a listener. Would I need to check in each API event in the `return () => {` function after toggling the listener off? If so, wouldn't that also mean that if an extension is adding and removing listeners that it might potentially cause the observer to be created and destroyed over and over again? Is the overhead of that better than just keeping one single observer around?

Yes that is how it would get implemented. Nothing in getObserver looks very expensive, but you could create the observer global one time and just add/remove it if you're concerned. This happening over and over seems unlikely, an extension would either have to repeatedly attach and detach listeners or repeatedly get disabled/enabled or uninstalled/installed. If any of those things are happening, whatever small cost there is to rebuild/reattach the observer will be quite small.

I've been trying to figure out _how_ to determine id the observer has no more listeners attached to it. From what I can tell, both `EventEmitter` and `SingletonEventManager` have internal state which could tell us this, but neither expose that information. Do you think it's a good idea to change one of them to expose the information, or would it be better to keep track in the bookmarks API code of how many listeners are attached and use that information to remove the observer if the listener count goes down to 0? Or maybe you had an idea different than either of those options?

I don't think SingletonEventManager is the right place, since there may be many instances of SingletonEventManager all listening.
EventEmitter is a quasi-standard interface so I wouldn't favor adding new methods to it unless it was really compelling. In this case, all you need to do is keep a count of listeners somewhere in ext-bookmarks.js, it seems straightforward enough.

In general I think we should not talk about webExtensions in Bookmarks.jsm. Even if they were added for web-ext, the nsIBookmarkObserver options can be used by everyone and we'll likely use them in frontend code.
I'd not put any comment here, at a maximum a "// Ensure to pass tagging information for the observers to skip over these notifications when needed."

the only problem I see here, is that in the eraseEverything case the consumer won't get any notification at all.
It's not a very often used API, but it may be worth a follow-up bug.

Bug 1221764 - Implement simple chrome.bookmarks events
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/72304/#review91118
I assume mak reviewed the contents of Bookmarks.jsm which I'm not familiar with. r=ms on the rest.

do we need this here? we have them in the schema and presumably also in other bugs?

I'm finding this a little clunky, that you build these arrays that end up holding every event that fires in the whole test. Could you instead, after each step in the test, verify that you received the set of events you were expecting, then clear out the arrays before the next step?
(in the event that something breaks here, I think that would actually improve usability too -- if you get an extra event at some point, the current test will fail at the end when the total array length doesn't match the expected count, but if you change it as suggested, it would fail much closer to the actual point where the bug manifests)

You're not actually verifying the contents of the onCreated events here?

I made a few changes to implement this more like you suggested and it definitley feels better. Thanks!

This will only be an issue if an observer is paying attention to that `isDescendantRemoval` flag, correct? Currently it's only our ext-bookmarks.js API code that uses that, and it doesn't call `eraseEverything`, nor do we foresee any reason to add an API that would call `eraseEverything`, so I think this would not affect anything. Does that sound accurate?

Oops, I see that I never published my response to Marco's review comment, but it's at most a follow up anyway, so I've dropped it and this should be good to check in now.

Yes it can be a follow-up.
The fact is that even if you don't call eraseEverything, something else may do. Bookmarks restore and Sync are the only 2 things that come to my mind atm.
And when that happen, consumers of the skipDescendants option, that means also your consumers, won't get any notification about all of the folders going away. So they may keep tracking something about a folder that has been removed.

Thanks for the clarification, Marco. What exactly should the follow up bug be? I'm not sure how to describe a change to make to mitigate the problem you describe.

we need to make eraseEverything notify at least the top-level folders, that is any folder that is a direct ancestor of menu/toolbar/unfiled
