1246460 - "View Pocket List" menu item missing since the removal of "Subscribe to this page…" in the bookmark button and menu bar

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Pocket, defect)

Description

Attachment: Missing Pocket in the menu

Important: I'm talking about the menu from the bookmark button on a toolbar and the menu bar, not in the app menu panel (which is still has the Pocket item in the subview).

Bug 985659 removed BMB_subscribeToPageMenuitem which Pocket used as an insertion point for it's bookmark menu item: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/extensions/pocket/bootstrap.js?rev=cb217f7271c2#424

The result is that the menu item no longer appears. The code gracefully handles this so no errors were output. We need to adjust the insertion point in bootstrap.js.

We should probably add a simple test for this and the other UI entry points of Pocket. I just happened to notice the regression while bisecting a different front-end regression.

I wrote one, but it won't run properly because pocket isn't enabled at all in our tests. See bug 1235627. Enabling it just for the test fails because it leaks window properties, so I gave up on doing that. Still including the test in the patch because it seems useful to have it.

... and I expect us to fix the test issues in time for 46, and when we do, this will 'just work', ideally.

Nit: the commit message could be improved to be more specific.

I would prefer if this test was in browser/extensions/pocket/… Not sure why this belongs in the social dir.

There are no tests in there right now. At all. I can start a set of tests, I guess...

Anything over sticking yet another thing in browser/base/content/test/general/ . Pocket seemed more linked to social than to anything else.

Seems like a core scenario. Tracked for Fx47.
