1599940 - Only PreferenceExperiments appear in the normandy.experiments collection

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Normandy Client, enhancement)

Description

[Tim Smith (inactive) 👨‍🔬 [:tdsmith]]

The set of experiments exposed to the JEXL evaluation engine as normandy.experiments only contains PreferenceExperiments; add-on experiments are excluded. This is documented but is easy to forget.

In the interest of avoiding subtlety and increasing flexibility, it would be helpful if add-on experiments were also present.

Alternatively, I'd suggest leaving normandy.experiments alone (for compatibility) and adding in a new key (maybe normandy.studies? but that's confusing) that not only has both preference and add-on experiments/studies, but also includes information like active status, the branch the user was on, and unenrollment reason, if any. Basically, we should mirror all study information into the JEXL filter context.
