786648 - Stop stealing strings for log viewer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

We currently steal the "Today", "Yesterday", "Last Week", "Two Weeks Ago" strings from other components of Thunderbird.

We should decouple these, and give the log viewer its own strings.

Sure, I've assigned it to you. For reference, adu had contact Florian, Mike and I via email about this bug. I gave some background information and suggested he come on IRC to talk to us further.

I don't think this comment adds much - I think you can remove it.

Hey adu,

You wrote in your email:

> because those strings are not used in the chat-messenger. Hope i am on the
> right path.

"lastWeek" and "twoWeeksAgo" are indeed used in chat-messenger-overlay.js.

This line: http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/components/im/content/chat-messenger-overlay.js#1157

retrieves the appropriate string based on the group names defined here:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/components/im/content/chat-messenger-overlay.js#1088

So those strings are now missing. You should put them back, and make sure to retrieve the strings with "log." prefixing them.

Let me know in this bug if you have any more questions.

Thanks,

-Mike

This is not valid Javascript - you cannot have properties with periods in their names.

Among other reasons, it's because it's ambiguous. Suppose I had the following:

let groups = {
  log.lastWeek: [],
  log: {
    lastWeek: "Hello!"
  }
};

What does groups.log.lastWeek refer to then?

TL;DR:  These lines should stay the way they are.

Please revert the changes to line 1125 and 1127.

The change you need to make is below, right here:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/components/im/content/chat-messenger-overlay.js#1157

You need to change:

groupName = msgBundle.getString(groupId);

to

groupName = msgBundle.getString("log." + groupId);

Comment 12

[Florian Quèze [:florian]]

I think it would make sense to rename the msgBundle variable to chatBundle.

I replaced the variable msgBundle with chatBundle, as florian asked for.
changed line +1157 
>groupName = msgBundle.getString(groupId);
to 
 groupName = chatBundle.getString("log."+groupId);

From inspection, this looks good - just one nit. I'll test the patch tonight.
