764955 - Please add information in the App notes for crashes indicating if a crash occurred from a webapp

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 780972

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), defect, P2)

Description

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

Web app crashes would be harder to tell within fennec without some sort of indication that it's a web app.

Will the URL also be included?  I'm not sure if there would be any URL mentioned with a Web App crash in Fennec Native...

Wes or Mark - What can we do here to make sure that if a crash occurs that we know if it happened within a web app or not?

I think this problem might be solved by bug 772968. Should we dup on that bug?

Comment 4

[Robert Kaiser]

If we really go down that way, probably.

Comment 5

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Given that bug 772968 is officially landing, the problem in this bug is solved by that bug. Duping on that bug.

Near as I can tell, we need to pass in a serverUrl parameter during startup that will eventually get passed to the crash reporter here:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#2957

And then passed back to java when we actually crash. I need to dig more, but I don't believe that changing the blocklist id fixes this.

serverUrl is just where crashes get submitted. What application ID are we sending for web app crashes?

Comment 8

[Robert Kaiser]

WebappRuntimeMobile.

We're adding that as a new product to Socorro in bug 780972, so I'm marking as a dupe of that.

I don't understand. So the client implementation sends enough information of to socorro to know whether the crash came from a webapp with the app ID being evident then? comment 6 says otherwise.

Bug 772968 provided enough information that Socorro can tell, it's just not using that info until bug 780972 lands.
