Steps to reproduce:

1. Run a high and low accuracy tracking session in parallel
2. ClearWatch the high accuracy session



Actual results:

The low accuracy session continues to run with high accuracy fixes


Expected results:

The provider should have got a reset setHighAccuracy to false.
Summary: Issue with accuracy not getting properly → Issue with accuracy not resetting properly
blocking-b2g: --- → koi+
This fix is important because if all high accuracy requests have exited,  the provider should be informed to switch to low accuracy so the GPS engine can be turned off. This happens only with 2 tracking sessions, one high and one low.
The bug title needs to be better defined here to be actionable - are you talking about geolocation here? A reduced test case would help make this more actionable.

Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This happens because the call to nsGeolocationService::SetHigherAccuracy(false) in nsGeolocationRequest::Shutdown has no effect. The request being shut down is still in the list of callbacks at this point, so nsGeolocationService::HighAccuracyRequested() returns true even when this is the only high accuracy request. So the provider is never notified of a change.

The request has already been shut down though (mShutdown = true), so the simplest solution is to make nsGeolocationRequest::WantsHighAccuracy return false for requests that have been shut down.

I've also made a few other changes, not sure if they're wanted but I can remove them if not:

(1) rename SetHigherAccuracy to better reflect what it does
(2) add some additional logging to NetworkGeolocationProvider.js
(3) also update the accuracy when a Geolocation object is shut down, this catches the case where the high accuracy request is ended due to the tab being closed

Just pass WantsHighAccuracy() here instead.

Add a comment explaining that this isn't used, but is useful for debugging interactions with the geolocation service.

This looks good; we just need to make sure we annotate xpcshell.ini correctly. Can you make the changes and reattach?

Add the same annotations for these two tests as the other _wrap and non-_wrap ones.

And actually yes, this is failing on trunk too. Backed out there as well.

Attached patch patch for try server (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Hmm, maybe the test failures are due to the timeout between setting and clearing the watch being too short?

This patch increases the timeout and adds some extra logging so we can see what's going on. Would someone be able to submit it to the try server (I don't have access myself)?
Well the try run is green, so maybe this one will avoid the test failures.

I've carried forward the r+, because the only change from the previous patch is to increase the timeout used in the test. Hope that's OK.

The timeouts worry me, since their presence is usually a symptom of tests that will intermittently fail, but we don't have a good way of simulating something like cross-process yield right now. Let's land this and file another bug for cleaning this up by using runnables in-process and finding a way to communicate cross-process.

Comment 0 describes the problem situation, but I don't think it's possible to verify the internal state of the geolocation provider outside of the engine.
