955279 - Changing the status to available while an IRC account is in the disconnecting state doesn't reconnect it

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Chat Core :: IRC, defect, minor)

Typically happens when I use /offline to quickly disconnect all accounts and /back immediately after /offline to reconnect them all, when I know my network connections are dead because I've switched to a different wifi network.

In that case, IRC takes a few seconds to timeout; other accounts get marked as disconnected almost immediately, so they are already in the disconnected state when I type /back.

Set the reconnect timer if the status is changed from OFFLINE while an account is still disconnecting, so it will connect as soon as it has disconnected.

The above patch fails if the disconnection takes longer than 1s (the first reconnection timer length). 

This approach simply connects as soon as the account is disconnected when appropriate.

Check whether the disconnected account was actually connected without errors before attempting to reconnect. (This avoids e.g. immediate reconnection on status change when there was a reconnection timer present, and reconnection on status change when the account is incorrectly configured.)

Why this.prplAccount.connectionErrorReason and not just this.connectionErrorReason?

What's the !connectionErrorReason test for? It looks like a null check, but 0 is actually ERROR_NETWORK_ERROR.

I've now used this.connectionErrorReason in the status observer and kept this.prplAccount.connectionErrorReason in the account observer (for consistency).

It was intended to check for 'undefined' but this is unnecessary due to the default value in the prototype.
