656255 - Have only one test function in testPaneRetention.js

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect)

Description

[Alex Lakatos[:AlexLakatos]]

File: tests/functional/testPreferences/testPaneRetention.js

This test module consists of two tests:
 * testOpenCloseOptionsDialog()
 * testOptionsDialogRetention()

These should be split into two separate test modules.  I recommend moving testOpenCloseOptionsDialog() to its own module testOpenClosePane.js.

I'm not sure about the usefulness of testOpenCloseOptionsDialog(). This is being tested inherently through testOptionsDialogRetention(). For that matter, we might want to disable the Litmus test as well.

Henrik, please advise.

I agree. This test seems to be well covered by other existing tests in the BFT section as the pane retention one.

Can you rename gDelay to DELAY and gTimeout to TIMEOUT? Also, if gDelay is not used anywhere in the test, simply remove it.

Can you change this from "module.controller = " to "controller ="?

We should probably include this in a teardownModule() so the test exits in a clean state. You'll need to incorporate some aspect of prefPaneResetCallback. Actually you might be able to do this using the Prefs shared module. Henrik, please advise.

I don't really like the wording of this. Can you change it to "Test the Preferences dialog retains state"?

> var testOptionsDialogRetention = function()
> {

Since we refer to the dialog as "Preferences" everywhere else, we should probably rename this function and the JS file.

>   // Choose the Privacy pane
>   prefs.openPreferencesDialog(controller, prefPaneSetCallback);
> 
>   // And check if the Privacy pane is still selected
>   prefs.openPreferencesDialog(controller, prefPaneCheckCallback);

Same with resetting the pane to Main, you can probably do this without the callback.  Henrik, please advise.

I think this can be completely removed. Henrik, please advise.

We do not want to completely rewrite those tests. It's really just a separation. Any further modifications we should do once we start with the transition to the new API.

Not sure, why an advise is requested here.

Not sure to what you are referring to here. Any callback is necessary when opening the preferences dialog.

> I think this can be completely removed. Henrik, please advise.

This is clear and we have agreed on it already a while back.

Nit: Use "var" not "let".
