1228851 - WebIDE should honor manifest.origin of packaged App for development

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect)

Description

[Adrian Aichner [:anaran]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20151129030359

Steps to reproduce:

Went back to [Install and Run] an app on my flame device I am still developing.



Actual results:

A new app with new origin was installed instead.

This is problematic because the original app has all the pouchdb data, the new one has none.



Expected results:

According to
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/client/webide/modules/app-projects.js#184
184       // If the app ends up specifying an explicit origin in its manifest,
185       // we will override this random UUID on app install.
the manifest.origin I tried back to the original origin is not taken by WebIDE.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?string=project.manifest&find=&findi=&filter=^[^\0]*%24&hitlimit=&tree=mozilla-central

shows no matches where it accesses .origin

How can I debug a particular packaged app under development on a particular flame device, possibly from different desktop Firefox WebIDE instances?

I am using latest nightly, as always.

Apps are being removed with B2G cleanup.
