After SQLite 3.6.13, GROUP_CONCAT will concatenate empty strings.  Our tag query is wrong, and needs to be updated so it doesn't break in future releases.  Our unit tests fail with the newer SQLite.

Because linux distributions can ship with newer SQLite's than what we ship with, we need to fix this on both branches too.

Make sure we don't get bookmarks with empty titles.

Whiteboard: [needs review dietrich]
There's another usage of GROUP_CONCAT to get tags for autocomplete in the BOOK_TAG_SQL #define.
Right, but I think our query is correct (at least, I think so, but that code is an obfuscated mess).  A number of the autocomplete unit tests fail without this change, but pass with it.
imo Edward is correct, you should also fix SQL_STR_FRAGMENT_GET_BOOK_TAG, check if name is "tags" and in case add the condition on t.title.
and i'm not sure we have a test that checks if in the locationbar, with empty tags, we could return "tag1,,,,tag2".
We should not even allow tagging with an empty name really, that is Bug 458026, and looks like it is still mine!

v1.0

canceling review request. from the comments, it's pretty clear that either the sql needs to be fixed, or conclusively confirmed to be ok.

Don't bother GROUP_CONCATing tag titles that are empty. Restructure the BOOK_TAG_SQL #define to be somewhat more readable. Test by adding tags to a uri then renaming the tag to empty and making sure they don't show up in autocmoplete results.

both searches expect results, so wouldn't this be a failure?

anytime this hack of interminable sadness is used, please link back to the bug #.

is there a followup bug against autocomplete to provide some extensibility mechanism for extra data per result?

note in the print/comment that you're also removing the id of the renamed tag from the id list

you're modifying the query only to force ac to refetch the results, yes? should make a note of that

aside from writing test code that guarantees anyone else will have to spend extra time figuring out what it actually does, r=me :)

Switched to > 0. >= 1 might involve a subtraction on platforms.. depending on what SQLite does.

Both? There's 3 tags, so the test runs 4 times, but it gets a result each time.

Printed out the current array and that we're removing an item.

> >+        timer.initWithCallback({ notify: function() doSearch(query.slice(1)) },
> you're modifying the query only to force ac to refetch the results
Yup.. I suppose that's a bug that we use cached results even if the item changes... I suppose slightly more serious is that I needed to do this on a timeout because nsNavHistoryAutoComplete calls onSearchComplete, so we want to avoid starting another query while it's about to finish up?

> extra time figuring out what it actually does, r=me :)
Added a bunch more "comments" ! :)

This patch landing on 1.9.1 has caused all SeaMonkey test machines to time out on xpcshell tests, and I strongly suspect it's that new test, as the last one that is executed is test_places/unit/test_dynamic_containers.js
Yes, it's that new test that makes SeaMonkey reproducibly hang.

Hrm.. very odd. Status 5 = NOMATCH_ONGOING while 3 is RESULT_NOMATCH.

Are there any changes to how places stores history or searches for history in seamonkey?

I suppose this wouldn't fix the test hang, but it would at least give a test failure..
wouldn't do_check_eq be more sensible than using an if statement to call do_check_true(false)?

No, just plain places. And all other places tests work fine, actually - at least after we fixed them to not depend on different default preferences than SeaMonkey has. And thanks for reminding me of that, we could once again be running into a test that doesn't like us to return history only...
Yes, that's it. Setting the set of prefs we have in the other tests helps to make SeaMonkey pass. And that also explains why it was failing so hard across the board. :)

You could, but you would still need an if to decide to do_test_finished instead of just returning. But I suppose it doesn't matter with this patch ;)
Attachment #375341 - Flags: review?(edilee) → review+
If the check fails, you don't need to call do_test_finished, so I'm not sure why that matters.
Oh, I guess I was thinking that the test runs until it hits a do_test_finished. Or maybe those are mochi tests.
I'm not actually convinced that this fixed us - that, or SQLite still has a bug.  I just pushed to the try server with 3.6.14, and this unit test fails, along with a few other places ones.

Shawn, any update on that topic?
SQLite 3.6.14 had a bug that we were tickling.  This if fixed.
Marking verified fixed based on passed tests, no backouts and comment 27.

3.0.x seems to be using sqlite 3.6.7 -- do we still need this fix on the 1.9.0 branch given comment 27?

fair enough.

This needs a branch patch - it doesn't apply now and requires non-trivial changes AFAICT.
Attached patch patch against fx3 cvs (obsolete) — Splinter Review
The first patch chunk needed to remap to Firefox 3 version of the query, but it's still a simple change. The second chunk was just too much patch context preventing a clean apply, but the actual change part was simple -- a difference of AS vs "no AS". For the test file, I included the seamonkey stuff..

building right now..
