833559 - Check Now doesn't show anything if the update server is unavailable

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Dave Hylands [:dhylands]]

If the user presses "Check Now" and the update web server isn't running, then I see the following in my logcat:

UpdatePrompt: Forcing update check
*** AUS:SVC Checker: checkForUpdates, force: true
UpdatePrompt: onUpdateCheckStart (undefined)
*** AUS:SVC Checker:getUpdateURL - update URL: http://localhost/update.xml?force=1
*** AUS:SVC gCanCheckForUpdates - able to check for updates
*** AUS:SVC Checker:checkForUpdates - sending request to: http://localhost/update.xml?force=1
XXX FIXME : Got a mozContentEvent: force-update-check
*** AUS:SVC Checker:onError - request.status: 2152398861
*** AUS:SVC getStatusTextFromCode - transfer error: Connection refused, code: 2152398861
UpdatePrompt: Setting gecko.updateStatus: check-error-2152398861
*** AUS:SVC Creating UpdateService
*** AUS:SVC UpdateService:onError - error during background update. error code: -2142568435, status text: Connection refused

(My phone was setup for testing using httpd on the phone rather than the normal b2g update server)

However, the "Checking for updates..." just got replaced with blanks or empty space.

It should show an error indicating that it was unable to connect to the update server (and probably give the URL it couldn't connect to, in order to actually be useful).

2152398861 corresponds to NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Normally, if we get something other than "check-complete" as "gecko.updateStatus" value, then we display an error. We try to get from the locale the string that we gets as value, and if it's not found, we display a generic error.

We see in this log that gecko.updateStatus is set to a correct error, so... something is wrong :-)

We also output a log from gaia if the value is not "check-complete":

  console.error('Error checking for system update:', value);

could you check if you see this ?
