841586 - [email][GP] Even if previous attempt to download pic from hotmail fails, download arrow for the file is removed

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[John Hammink]

Attachment: missing arrow for previously attempted-to-download file

Even if previous attempt to download pic from hotmail fails, download arrow for the file is removed the next time the email is opened.

STR:
1. Receive an email, with 3 pictures, to your hotmail on the device.
2.  Note that there is a bug where pictures are never downloaded (I'll file this one soon); 
3. Restart the email app, open the email and try to download the same picture again.
4. Observe attached screenshot.  Note that arrow for the file you tried to download earlier is gone - meaning you cannot attempt to download the picture again.

This would very much benefit from a logcat: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia/Email/RequiredBugInfo

Our download UI for an attachment can have one of 3 states:
- we have a blob/file or reference to a devicestorage path: downloaded
- we don't have a blob/file/reference, and the mime-type starts with image: downloadable
- not supported: nodownload

The only transition that explains what you see is that we set the file reference to be falsey or failed to update it, and also updated the mime type to not be an image.  Since our update of the MIME type is dependent on the blob being non-falsey, this would imply an exception is getting thrown in the save process after we update the mime type.

This could be very inter-related with the filed bug 841591 too.
