817072 - Entering the wrong password in a network returns an unclear error message and saves the password, forcing the user to forget the network in order to try again.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Settings, defect)

Description

[Chris Kreinbring [:CKreinbring]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121024073032

Steps to reproduce:

Unagi version:  20121129071415

1. From the device home screen, select Settings then Wi-Fi.
2. Turn the Wi-Fi toggle on if it is off, then select a secured network.
3. In the Password textbox, enter a string of text and/or numbers.  Content doesn't matter since this is supposed to be incorrect.
4. Tap the OK button in the upper right corner.
5. Watch the network that you just attempted to connect to and observe the message that appears.
6. Tap the network again and observe the reaction.



Actual results:

After entering an incorrect password, the network returns a message stating "Connection failed" with no indication of why it failed.  Also, the incorrect password is saved to the device making it more difficult to correct the password.


Expected results:

The network that received the incorrect password returns a message stating that the password was incorrect.  After receiving this message, the user should be able to select the network and attempt to enter a correct password.

Test Run 2 -This is still repro on Unagi in Build 20130104070203  CASE #3482
Once the incorrect password is entered, OK button on upper right corner is pressed the connection is attempted for this particular network and "Connecting" string is displayed under the network you are trying to connect to for about 3-5sec but then password authentication fails and the list of networks refreshes and no notification is displayed.

As of Unagi version 20130117070201, the user receives the "Connection failed" message for a split second before it returns to the "Secured by ----" text.  However, the user can now select the network and try to enter the password without having to forget the network.

Still repros on Unagi version 20130208070301 in the same way that it reproed in comment 3.  However, I have been told that this can be considered good enough.
