Filing this bug to keep track of it, since we'll need it when bug 799553 lands. It shouldn't be too hard to change the API calls we make, we'll just want to coordiante with the people working on input.mozilla.org.
See bug 895675 comment 25 for details about the new API. We'll just need to update the API we currently use in sendFeedback(): http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/chrome/content/aboutFeedback.xhtml#134 Nicolas, I know you worked on about:feedback recently. Is this a bug you might be interested in taking? :)
Depends on: 895675
No longer depends on: 799553

Margaret, I'd be happy to take this but my college year is about to start and I'll be extremely busy until the end of September. Not sure if you need to get this done right away or not? I can take the bug and if someone else can finish it before I do I'd be happy to give it to them. Let me know if you're happy with that and I'll take it.

There's no big rush for this, but we can leave it unassigned for now in case someone else can get to it first. Feel free to assign yourself if you start working on a patch though! :)
@Nicolas if you are still busy, I would like to try my hands on this. Though I haven't worked with feedback API.
Sushant, I'm assigning you to this bug, since it doesn't look like Nicloas has started working on it at all. I mentioned in comment 1 which changes need to be made, but let me know if you need more guidance. You can navigate directly to about:feedback to test your changes, but you should be sure to change out the input URL to use the staging server for testing, so that we don't pollute the actual feedback data. More information on that is available here: http://fjord.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html

Margaret, When I checked the status report of the request I was sending, it was sending an "OPTIONS" request as opposed to POST request I was actually sending. So I was getting a status message of 301 (Moved Permanently) When I do the same thing using curl, I'm able to successfully send the request and as well view it on https://input.allizom.org/ I created a temp html file to get the response. It is stored here: http://wncc-iitb.org/itsp/temp2.html

It is stored here: > http://wncc-iitb.org/itsp/temp2.html There are two things going on here: 1. The POST is to http://input.allizom.org/ and not https://input.allizom.org/ (http vs. https) so that's why you're getting back an HTTP 301. 2. Your test is POSTing to the wrong url. See the API for the correct url to POST to. 3. Your test is in the context of a web-page and you're doing an xhr POST. The web browser will pre-flight that with an OPTIONS request to find out if CORS is allowed for that resource. So once you fix the http vs. https issue and the url issue, you'll bump into the fact that I haven't added CORS-related headers to the Input API, yet (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=895675#c9). With FirefoxOS, they didn't have problems. I don't know if Firefox for Android bumps into CORS things in about:feedback. Ergo, your test isn't in the same context as what you'll be implementing. Anyhow, if the CORS thing turns out to be an issue in the about:feedback context, too, let me know and I'll fix the headers on Input.
I finished up the code changes to the Input API that I needed to do before pushing it to production. One thing I changed is that the "product" field restricts you to specific values. For Firefox for Android, the "product" value needs to be "Firefox for Android". That value is case-sensitive. If you send something else, you'll get an HTTP 400 back with an explanation that the product is not valid. Hope that helps!
The Input API is pushed to production now. Please continue to use input.allizom.org for testing.

Unassinging, since this hadn't been touched in a long time. Vivek, you may be interested in this, since you've been poking around this area of the code for bug 1007436.

Hi Margaret, Thanks, I'll look into this bug in parallel.
For the record, the Input API is documented here: http://fjord.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html#posting-product-feedback-api-v1-feedback The product string for Firefox for Android is "Firefox for Android".

Comment on attachment 8477725 [details] [diff] [review] 799562.patch Initial patch to post feedback data using the api. Margaret, Only posting negative feedback are being posted. should I include positive feedback as well? As discussed over irc, please suggest what other optional data we would need.

Will, Is the description field limited to 10000 characters in database.[1] can you also please provide the char limit for url field. [1] https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback#1
Flags: needinfo?(willkg)
The description is not limited in the database or the API currently. It's limited in that form plus there's a character counter. There's a few reasons for that, but I don't remember what they are at the moment. Looks like the url field is limited to 200 characters in the db, but I don't think we set max lengths anywhere. I'll have to double-check that. I might be able to get to that this weekend, but if not, I can do it Thursday. I'll keep the needinfo open until I figure that out.

I updated the API documentation adding max length to relevant fields. I also added some notes about PII-relevant informational text. To go back through the questions: 1. The description field does not have a max length, but we like to cap it at 10,000 because feedback longer than that tends to either be spam or cover many topics which makes analysis more difficult. 2. The URL field does have a max length of 200 characters. I wrote up bug 1059826 to fix a problem where that max length isn't currently being validated, so it kicks up errors when saving to the db. I think that covers everything. If not, please let me know.

I screwed up and didn't look at the code changes closely enough. This also needs to send the version. + let data = {}; + data["happy"] = false; + data["description"] = descriptionElement.value; + data["product"] = FEEDBACK_PRODUCT_STRING; Something like: data["version"] = some-way-to-get-the-version; Otherwise there's no way for us to know what version the feedback applies to. Here's an example I posted just now: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/dashboard/response/4594582 It lists the version as "Unknown". Should I write up a new bug for adding the version or can we reopen this one?
