We should make sure each use has a way for applications to change the behavior and provide sane defaults.
Flags: blocking-fx-sync1.4+
Assignee: nobody → philipp
Target Milestone: --- → 1.4
There are five occurrences of switch (Svc.AppInfo.ID) all of which have sane fallback behaviour. The only thing I would propose to do is decouple autoconnect from importing service.js as discussed in comment 3 ff. of bug 557589.
It should also be added that code reorg is likely going to rip options.xul apart, thus getting rid of that switch statement. Code reorg may also implicate different/additional default preferences per application, making the switch statement in engines/clients.js unnecessary.
* options.xul will be in addon-only space after reorg and is fine for now.

* engines/client.js already reads the client.type from a preference, but it needs the switch statement for now as a fallback for the addon case.

* service.js onStartup() should trigger autoconnect after a fixed delay specified in a preference. If that preference is absent, nothing happens and apps are responsible for triggering autoconnect in a weave:service:ready observer themselves.

* service.js _registerEngines() should read the list of engines from a preference so that apps can specify it this way. The switch logic needs to stay as fallback for the addon case, though.
Weave.Service._registerEngines now reads the list of engines from a preference so that apps can specify it this way. The switch logic stays as fallback for the addon case.

Part 1: Weave.Service._registerEngines()

the disconnect between engine.name and what we register feels like a ticking time bomb. (i.e. "Tab" vs. "tabs")  Maybe we should clean that up?

You shouldn't need to import these here

Observers == Weave.Svc.Obs in this scope

And Svc is on the Weave object as above, so you can do Weave.Svc.WinMediator

>+          Array.forEach(enum.getNext().gBrowser.mTabs, function(tab) {
>+              wait += tab.hasAttribute("busy");
>+          });
>+        }
>+        Weave.Service.delayedAutoConnect(wait);

I'm quite aware of that. But the 'Weave' object is provided by service.js and we must not import it before we've registered the observer. In fact, accessing the 'Weave' global will trigger the import of service.js in load-weave.js... Don't you love import side-effects? :/

The 'tabs' spelling (engine.name) is part of preference settings and other things, so that will be nearly impossible to change. The "Tab" spelling corresponds to the naming of the engine constructor that gets imported into the 'Weave' namespace, e.g. Weave.TabEngine. I guess that could be changed if we care enough?!?
Updated: In delayedAutoConnect() check whether we're already logged in. Document why we can't use the 'Weave' namespace when registering the autoconnect observer.

Part 2 (updated): Weave.Service.onStartup()

Already gave feedback on irc, but summary:

Delay the weave:service:ready notification in a setTimeout() so scripts importing service.js can use Weave.* as well as observe the topic without needing to do other imports/setTimeout.
Attachment #450438 - Flags: review-
Do the setTimeout dance for the notify call so that observers don't have to.

Since we now do the notification async, we don't have to be careful about when to register the observer anymore. Which mean we can use the Weave namespace to do it.

Also fixed a couple of styling nits pointed out by Mardak.

The latest revision of the patch (v4) broke some tests. Tests are now fixed and somewhat extended.
