709418 - Soup: unable to set Market Provider server in soup store

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Apps :: Soup, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: logcat of no server changes

This might really the cause of bug 709412, maybe even a dupe.

Setting another server in the app settings of Market Provider doesnt seem to get set.   Hit refresh, and watch logs, and nowhere does it say its been changed.

Attaching logcat for evidence of no server changes

Repro:
1) install Soup app on android, build 12-09-2011
2) Launch Menu preferences > Development > Market Provider.  notice its currently set to apps-preview-dev.allizom.org
3) set it to something else (apps-preview.mozilla.org)
4) hit back, then hit refresh
5) watch the header, and notice it still says apps-preview-dev.allizom.org

Expected:
- changing server will get set for that session

Actual:
- changing server never sets the session

Setting the server requires currently to restart the Soup Market. Refresh only refreshes only the currently opened URL, it does not reset it to homepage. To be fixed.

Requesting to resolve as a Won't Fix. Rationale below:

The default set for Soup is apps-preview.mozilla.org, which is the server to be used up until Marketplace is taken down post March 1st. This is sufficient for MWC. Don't see the need for why this needs to be fixed before March 1st.

Counterarguments welcome. David, Bill, Jen - Can you confirm?

Using the back button while in the Market will close it and use the new Uri setting on next launch.

Development settings don't need to bullet proof and are for testing only.
