473211 - Weave status-bar changes from "offline" to "[username]" 5 minutes after a Firefox window appears. (but doesn't actually sign in)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Set up Weave to *not* connect each time you start Firefox. (open weave context menu, select "Preferences", and uncheck the "Automatically connect..." checkbox)

 2. Quit Firefox
 3. Start Firefox.
 4. Wait 5 min
 5. Open a new window with Ctrl+N
 6. Wait 5 min.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 - Weave status-bar should show "Offline" in all Firefox windows from step 3 onwards.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * After step 3:
    - Weave status-bar shows "Offline"  (This is expected.)

 * After step 4:
    - Weave status-bar magically changes to "dholbert" (my username) at precisely 5 minutes.
    - If I open Weave's context menu, "Sync Now" is now available.  However, if I select it, no actions occur.  Also, "Sign In" is still available (which it shouldn't be if I'm actually signed in)  So this makes me think it hasn't *actually* signed me in yet -- it's just confused.

 * After step 5:
    - The newly-opened window shows status "Offline" even though the other one showed my Weave username.

 * After step 6:
    - Weave status-bar magically changes to "dholbert" (my username) in the new window.

 * Addon: Weave v0.2.98
 * OS: Linux (Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid")

Daniel, does the logs show Weave tried to log in?

Comment 4

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

No -- they show that it tried to do an auto-sync 5 min after I start Firefox, though.  Below are the relevant bits from the verbose log. (I've just snipped out the "HistoryTracker" entries, as those seem unrelated to this.)

Daniel, is this fixed now in 0.2.99?  I believe it is.

Comment 6

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Nope, it's still present in 0.2.99 -- status bar reads "offline" initially, and then changes to show username after 5 min, with both "sign on" and "sync now" available in the status menu at that point.

There's one additional symptom now, though -- I also get a "warning sign" appearing in the status bar after ~ 5 min, and when I click it, I get a pop up notification with a number of copies of this message:
 "Error While Syncing" / "Weave encountered an error while syncing. You might want to try syncing manually".

Comment 7

[Dan Mills [:thunder]]

I see.  Sounds like we are not disabling the sync timer when you are offline.

Comment 8

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

This seems to have been fixed in Weave ver 0.2.100 -- yay!

Resolving as WORKSFORME.

Oh yes, I actually fixed this on purpose, but forgot to close the bug :)
