882132 - Posting social.user-profile with changed iconURL doesn't update the toolbar icon until reload of the provider

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Graveyard :: SocialAPI, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

I'm trying to get the toolbar icon to change when we send a user-profile message. The intended use is that we'll badge the icon with some indication of offline/online state.

However, at the moment, even though I've sent a user-profile message, it only changes the icon when I reload the sidebar, not when I send the message.

Looking into the code I found:

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/9ca690835a5e/browser/base/content/browser-social.js#l1076

// XXX doesn't this need to be called for profile changes, given its use of provider.profile?

I'm unable to reproduce this.  That comment will need to be removed.  The profile-changed message does indeed update the toolbar button.

It calls updateProfile(), but that doesn't call updateButton() AFAICT.

ah, I misinterpreted what they were trying to do.  I thought they were trying to update the users image, but they want to change the provider icon.  I see we have code for that in the provider class, but it seems odd to update that via user-profile (thus my confusion).

Attachment: fix updating provider icon

fixes updating the provider icon.  updateProvider also ultimately calls updateProfile.  also removes external url from test (even though it wasn't used in any test)

Mark, do you mean it worked with or without this patch?

Comment 8

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Sorry for not being clear. It worked with the patch only. Without the patch it doesn't work.
