1252661 - widget placement not available during onWindowOpened

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Pocket, defect)

Description

[Shane Caraveo (:mixedpuppy)]

Placement of widgets is not necessarily available via getPlacementOfWidget during the first onWindowOpened.  Subsequent onWindowOpened calls (for 2nd/etc window) works fine.  

This may be affected by timing somehow, perhaps number of addons making widgets, etc. since my regular profile doesn't have the problem whereas nightly and fresh profiles on aurora do show the problem.

If I listen for onWidgetAfterDOMChange I can get placement.

Since placement is used in the pocket addon to determine visibility of the menu's, this issue caused the menu's to remain hidden on the fist opened window.

STR:
start firefox with a fresh profile, look at bookmarks menus (button and menu bar)

expected:
see pocket menu item

actual:
you don't see the pocket menu item

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: regression from bug 1236605.  pocket menu items may be hidden when they shouldn't be.

I think gijs is pto, so asking for alternate reviewers.

this patch:
- makes onWindowOpen only add dom elements for menu items, removing the visibility update which didn't work on first window opened
- replaces widget added/removed with onWidgetAfterDOMChange and relies on that for updating menu item visibility.
- fixes updating reader mode buttons (prevents multiple additions, potential multiple message listeners in PocketReader class, etc)

Why was this moved to happen before the pocket widget is created?

This will get called with an actual DOM node, and so if there are multiple windows, it will get called multiple times, so I don't think you need to loop over windows here.

It's not really clear to me why you switched to this over onWidgetAdded/onWidgetRemoved. Can you expand on the reasoning for that change?

This will call update() multiple times if there are multiple windows, because then this method gets called multiple times.

AIUI there's now only 1 callsite for updatePocketItemVisibility, so maybe this line and its comment should just go there, after the for loop in onWidgetAfterDOMChange ?

To catch another notification I was testing with, iirc onwidgetadded also was not called on the first window.

Yeah, getPlacementOfWidget is not returning a placement until after DOM has changed, thus the menu items were hidden even though the button was then placed.

I'll look at that, I'm not certain if the reader is adding to all windows or now.

addressed calls to reader update.

onWidgetAdded was not called on first startup because the widget was added prior to the listener.  Nonetheless, placement is not available yet during onWidgetAdded or onWindowOpened for the first window on startup.  Waiting for the onWidgetAfterDOMChange notification allows us to determine the placement properly, thus properly show/hide the menu items.  Adding the listener addition before widget creation is defensive at this point since it works either way with onWidgetAfterDOMChange.

Nit: I think it would make more sense to have the param name and meaning be "visible" and inverse the logic. Feels odd to startup(false) and shutdown(true), but maybe that's just me?

It is still the case that this loop is not necessary; you'll get notified for each dom node, so for each window, and you can get the document off the widget node using aWidgetNode.ownerDocument.

This will now run N times if there are N open windows, and twice on startup (once from startup(), once from onWidgetAfterDOMChange!). We should probably persist the current hidden state on this object and only run code in PocketReader.update if the new state differs from the old one.

next patch will help reduce that weirdness, but I like to keep it "hidden" since that is the attr on the elements.

We want the pocket menus to work, let's uplift to beta. This should make it into 46 beta 2.
