831127 - user-Agent testing does not get the platform_version for OS X

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Input :: General, defect)

Description

[Frederik Braun [:freddy]]

Testing UA parsing with

"Mozilla/6.0 (Macintosh; I; Intel Mac OS X 11_7_9; de-LI; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2012010317 Firefox/10.0a4"

gives me
Browser(browser='Firefox', browser_version='10.0a4.0', platform='Macintosh', platform_version=None, mobile=False)

i.e. no platform_version. I think the part about platform == "OS X" need to be reworked for a "Macintosh" case.

As I recall, this is intentional and what the old site did. I don't think Cheng (who uses the data) was interested in OSX versions.

Cheng: Do you want us to fix this?

I don't want it for the sidebar (as in filterable) but we do track the occasional problems that affect only some OSX versions. If this is cheap, I'd like it; but if we're also keeping the full UA for future parsing use, then there are ways of getting this info if needed and we don't need to do it here.

We're keeping the raw unfiltered UA already. If we decided we need to additionally parse this out in the future, we can always change it then and apply it to all existing feedback.

We can either keep this bug open and push it off or close it and open a new one when we have a need for it. For juggling-all-the-things purposes, I think I'm inclined to close this one and open a new one in the future if we need to.

Anyone object to that?

Putting these in my queue for this quarter.

No one objected, so closing this out. We'll open a new one if the need comes up.
