420401 - need unit tests for "Save Link As..."

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 486342

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect, P2)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

From bug 299372 comment 5:

For what it's worth, I think that in an ideal world, the
following things about save-link-as would get tested:

* traversing a link to an as-yet-authenticated server that requires auth
* traversing a link that's busted provides error notification
* traversing a link that doesn't return info quickly falls-back to the old
behavior
* traversing a link that does return it quickly uses it

Shawn, I know you have a lot on your plate, but I bet you at least have ideas on how to test this stuff...

Comment 2

They probably aren't going to be terrible, but will probably take several hours to work out.

The hardest one will probably be the "doesn't return quickly" case.  I'm not really sure how to automate that test...

[Shawn Wilsher :sdwilsh]

fyi, I probably won't have cycles for this for about a month.

Comment 4

[Shawn Wilsher :sdwilsh]

might dolske have cycles for this?  I probably won't be able to start on this until after April 15 at the earliest (possibly not until after April 24).

We want more testing coverage, but we have litmus tests to bridge the gap for release.

Forward duping to bug 486342 since work is being done there.
