487785 - Use localized add-on name for file name if no em:name exists

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

A developer who used the new dashboard reported that the filename of a newly uploaded XPI was broken.

old dashboard: hatena_bookmark-0.1.3-fx.xpi
new dashboard: -0.1.4-fx.xpi (expected to be hatena_bookmark-0.1.4-fx.xpi)

The install.rdf files are browsable here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/files/browse/50564
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/files/browse/50700

I guess the new dashboard doesn't consider <em:name> which is placed under <em:localized>.

The install.rdf documentation isn't clear on whether <em:name> is still required, or if it can be nested in a localized tag. It installs in Firefox, so it seems to be valid.

Having <em:name> only inside <em:localized> does not sound like a good practice.  How should such an add-on be displayed when installed in Firefox in a language which does not have a corresponding <em:localized> element?  I would suggest Wontfix.

Oh, I have misread the bug description.  Instead of Wontfix, I would suggest to treat such an add-on as error.  I do not have a strong opinion about it, though.

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

The non-localized em:name is the one that makes more sense to choose as the default. If they're all localized, how do you choose? The solution seems easy enough: always have a non-localized em:name, as specified in comment #3.

-> wontfix
