1526864 - Display message in nightly about dark theme is not working as expected

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, defect, P1)

Description

[Brahmini Nagabandi]

QA Results:

Tested on :

FF Nightly version : 67.0a1 (2019-02-10)
OS : Mac and Windows 10 Pro

Depends on bug : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1524021

Observations:

I have tried Got it scenario on Mac OS and Use older version scenario on Windows 10 Pro respectively

Mac OS :

• After Dark Theme is enabled via about:addons, New Tab shows the message This version of New Tab doesn't support dark mode yet.
  (As of now Discoverystream.config pref value has True as default value)

• When user clicks on Got it button, New Tab doesn't open in Dark Mode

• If the pref has been set to False , New Tab still doesn't open in Dark Mode

• Tried disabling Dark Theme via about:addons to re-test to see message, but message is not displayed (is this expected, not showing the message multiple times to user? or is this caching issue?)

Windows 10 Pro :

• After Dark Theme is enabled via about:addons, New Tab shows the message This version of New Tab doesn't support dark mode yet.
  (As of now Discoverystream.config pref value has True as default value)
• When user clicks on Use older version button, New Tab opens in Dark Mode
• If the pref has been set to False , New Tab still opens in Dark Mode, unable to get rid of Dark Mode with pref changes, but defaults back to normal only when Dark Theme is disabled via about:addons (is this as expected?)

Unfortunately couldn't record on Windows 10 Pro

In short : do we expect to show the message only once per IP address?

Mac OS :

That's expected

(As of now Discoverystream.config pref value has True as default value)

• When user clicks on Got it button, New Tab doesn't open in Dark Mode

That's correct, Click of Got it should continue the discovery stream experience with dark mode disabled

• If the pref has been set to False , New Tab still doesn't open in Dark Mode

With Discoverystream.config pref set to false, new tab should open in dark mode if dark theme is enabled.

• Tried disabling Dark Theme via about:addons to re-test to see message, but message is not displayed (is this expected, not showing the message multiple times to user? or is this caching issue?)

Yes, If user has previously opted-in by clicking Got it, we shouldn't display dark mode message again. Click of Got it should set 'browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.darkModeMessage' to false. If for testing you need to force see message again you can set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.darkModeMessage to true and the message should show in dark theme when discovery stream pref is true

Windows 10 Pro :

  That's expected
  (As of now Discoverystream.config pref value has True as default value)
• When user clicks on Use older version button, New Tab opens in Dark Mode

That's expected behavior, this triggers opting out of discovery stream flow that set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.optOut.0 to true

• If the pref has been set to False , New Tab still opens in Dark Mode, unable to get rid of Dark Mode with pref changes, but defaults back to normal only when Dark Theme is disabled via about:addons (is this as expected?)

That's correct once user opt-out of discovery stream experience, user should go back to default activity stream that will open in dark mode. Switching back to normal/default theme should continue default activity stream experience in default theme

Unfortunately couldn't record on Windows 10 Pro

In short : do we expect to show the message only once per IP address?

We should show dark mode message to user until the action buttons Got it or use older version are clicked. If user takes an action we shouldn't show dark mode message again
