While fixing this bug, we should update the warning to include the category name that can't be found.

To help Mozilla out with this bug, here's the steps:

  1. Comment here on the bug that you want to volunteer to help. I (or someone else) will assign it to you.
  2. Download and build the Firefox source code: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_build
  3. Start working on this bug.
    • Fix the typo mentioned in the first comment
    • Add the category name to the error message
    • If you have any problems with this bug, please comment on this bug and set the needinfo flag for me. Also, you can find me and my teammates on the #telemetry channel on IRC (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Irc) most hours of most days.
  4. Build your change with mach build. Check your changes for adherence to our style guidelines by using mach lint
  5. Submit the patch for review. Mark me or :jaws as a reviewer so we'll get an email to come look at your code.
  6. After a series of reviews and changes to your patch, I'll mark it for checkin or push it to autoland. Your code will soon be shipping to Firefox users worldwide!
  7. ...now you get to think about what kind of bug you'd like to work on next. Let me know what you're interested in and I can help you find your next contribution.

:jaws, can you state what's the best way to include the category name? Just nsPrintfCString?

Flags: needinfo?(jaws)
Priority: -- → P3

The following compiles for me but I'm not sure if it's the best route:

NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16(NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("Unknown category for SetEventRecordingEnabled: ") + category));

Georg, does that look OK to you?

Flags: needinfo?(jaws) → needinfo?(gfritzsche)
Flags: needinfo?(gfritzsche) → needinfo?(chutten)

Looks good to me.

I approved the patch and pushed it off to autoland. After some tests it will get merged into the main repository and land in Firefox soon.

Hey Jan,

Thanks for the review. Could you kindly help me find my next contribution.

Thanks,

@DILIP: Unfortunately I don't have any good next bugs at hand in our Telemetry module, but if you head over to Codetribute you might be able to find something suitable in another part of Firefox or the wider Mozilla projects ecosystem.

@Jan - I will check it out. Thank you for your support and mentoring with this bug. It was a great experience working with you.

Thanks,
//Dilip
