00:00:32 <clokep> Mook_as: You guys don't have like off today in Canada because of the Stanley Cup Final? :P
00:01:41 <Mook_as> nah, the local team's already out of the running
00:02:06 <Mook_as> otherwise, yeah, we'd be getting out to avoid the riots... :p
00:02:10 <clokep> Yeah, I'm rooting for the Kings (or maybe against the Devils.)
00:02:15 <clokep> Hahah.
00:02:27 <clokep> I'm (unfortunately) an Islanders fan so...they're always out early. :)

00:31:59 * clokep just tried to do ctrl+shift+w to bring back a closed tab. :(
00:49:30 <Mook_as> hmm, I forget how to send a path on gtalk. ctrl+enter, shift+enter, neither seemed to be able to stop interpreting the string /c/mozilla-build/wget/wget.exe as a command
00:50:58 <clokep> Mook_as: // in the front.
00:51:21 <clokep> Or /say <blah blah>
00:51:29 <Mook_as> oh, right, /say
00:51:42 <Mook_as> (my workaround was to stick a space in front; that works for now)
00:52:31 <clokep> That's honestly what I usually do. :)

08:53:13 <flo> so when I opened my laptop (and so neck went back from offline), all the sockets that failed to be created yesterday evening were created at once
08:53:34 <flo> and the amount of messages scrolling through the error console was insane :-(
08:54:23 <flo> and with my default profile on the debug build with logging enabled, after ~1 minute, I already have ~400 sockets handled by the socket transport service
08:54:52 <aleth> 400? Is that reasonable for your session?
08:54:59 <flo> no :)
08:55:08 * aleth was wondering how many tabs you had...
08:55:14 <flo> what's especially unreasonable is that the number never decrease
08:55:23 <flo> only one for #instantbird ;)
08:55:30 <flo> + 1 conversations on hold
08:55:41 <flo> but we have only one socket per XMPP or IRC account...
08:56:00 <aleth> Hmm, sounds like you may have found partial STR?
08:56:52 <flo> for the connected accounts, I have: 1 netsoul, 1 gtalk, 3 irc (2 moznet, 1 freenode), 2 AIM, 3 MSN, 1 yahoo, 1 facebook, and 2 twitter
08:58:09 <flo> "-1340452864[6358a0]:   calling PR_Poll [active=18 idle=459]"
08:58:28 <flo> 18 sounds like a reasonable number of sockets
08:58:46 <flo> so why do sockets become idle instead of being removed? :-S
08:58:54 <aleth> Yes
08:59:11 <aleth> And why are they created in the first place, within 1 minute?
08:59:32 * flo suspects bug 1344 again
08:59:35 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344 nor, --, 1.2, florian, RESO FIXED, stop using XPCOM proxies in purpleSockets
08:59:54 <flo> aleth: "And why are they created in the first place, within 1 minute?" for that it's easy to suspect extreme inefficiency on the part of the MSN prpl
09:00:20 <aleth> That sounds testable...
09:00:31 <flo> from what I remember of the last time I looked at sockets when working on purpleSockets for Ib 0.1, connecting an MSN account opens ~15 sockets + 1 per buddy in the list to fetch the buddy icon
09:00:40 <aleth> :(
09:01:04 <aleth> MSN-XMPP keeps sounding better :D
09:01:38 <flo> but they should be closed immediately after the server has replied, and not opened all at once (the icon requests are queued, and the 15 sockets during the connection/authentication are also things that are added then removed, then readded, ...)
09:01:43 <aleth> Though I suppose for now it's a good source of idle sockets ;)
09:01:56 <flo> hmm, what I called "socket" above was actually socket watchers
09:02:08 <flo> (each time libpurple asks us to notify it when a socket becomes ready)
09:02:18 <flo> so sometimes it may remove it and readd it
09:03:25 <flo> iirc the max # of sockets we can have in the socket transport service at once is around 1000
09:03:50 <flo> after all the initial connections are done, the number of sockets we have increases only slowly
09:04:36 <flo> so it's possible that it takes a few hours to reach 1000
09:04:57 <aleth> That would fit with the reported behaviour
09:05:01 <flo> so yeah, it sounds like I have a beginning of an explanation for part of the mess we are seeing
09:05:22 <flo> but the bug also happened on Tb at least once :-S.
09:07:41 <flo> each time I disconnect a JS-prpl, that removes 1 socket from the active count, and doesn't touch the idle count
09:08:40 <flo> that's also true when disconnecting libpurple accounts
09:08:59 <flo> I've disconnected all my accounts bug flo@moznet and I now have: calling PR_Poll [active=1 idle=533]
09:09:37 <aleth> Seems like idle socket watchers never get destructed
09:09:53 --> Tomek has joined #instantbird
09:10:51 <flo> I think I'll quit, and restart my build with purpleSocket logging enabled too (I currently have only nsSocketTransportService) and connect only one account at a time, to see if there's a specific guilty prpl.

09:13:29 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 
09:13:32 <aleth> You could count the "Stop listening" messages in the log?
09:14:28 <flo> so now with only flo@moznet connected, I have 1 active, 0 idle
09:15:31 <flo> if I add my gtalk account, I have 2 active
09:16:06 <flo> if I connect netsoul, I have 3 active, 127 idle (uh!)
09:16:49 <flo> connecting an AIM account makes the count go to 6 active, 164 idle
09:18:33 <-- Optimizer has quit (Ping timeout)
09:18:49 <flo> + 1 MSN -> 7 active, 205 idle
09:19:06 --> mmkmou has joined #instantbird
09:21:57 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird
09:22:25 <flo> ok, going to restart on my normal nightly, and keep only a libpurple account to debug this on the debug build
09:22:29 <-- flo has quit (Input/output error)
09:24:34 --> flo has joined #instantbird
09:24:35 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 
09:29:47 <flo> if anybody wants to look, here's a log of connecting an AIM account, and disconnecting it. http://queze.net/goinfre/socket.log
09:29:57 <flo> I think the socket count should be down to 0 at the end of this log
09:33:16 <-- Gizmokid2005 has quit (Ping timeout)
09:34:00 --> Gizmokid2005 has joined #instantbird
09:37:56 <aleth> so, RemoveFromIdleList only removes one at a time
09:38:39 <aleth> Which implies it's not called often enough...
09:38:41 <flo> aleth: also, sockets are always added to the idle list before becoming active
09:40:06 <aleth> Yes, is that not expected?
09:40:20 <flo> it is; it just makes the log a little bit more difficult to read
09:42:02 <aleth> The log messages of socket.jsm aren't in the log
09:42:18 <flo> how is socket.jsm related?
09:42:30 <flo> it's an AIM account
09:42:47 <flo> the logged messages are from http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/purple/purplexpcom/src/purpleSockets.cpp and http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/base/src/nsSocketTransportService2.cpp
09:43:32 <aleth> I somehow thought socket.jsm was always intermediate :-/
09:43:49 <aleth> But yeah, that makes no sense for libpurple
09:48:31 <flo> hmm, I wonder how long it would take me to craft a libpurple test prpl that connects only one socket, and closes it as soon as it's connected, and do nothing else
09:48:40 <flo> the log would be easier to read with only one socket in it ;)
09:53:18 <EionRobb> doesn't the xmpp prpl only have one socket?
09:53:52 <flo> EionRobb: probably
09:53:58 <flo> what I actually mean is a single call to purple_input_add
09:55:19 <aleth> There are 31 purpleSockets created but only 8 destructed
09:55:37 <flo> ah?
09:55:41 <aleth> it seems the idle list simply reflects that
09:56:34 <aleth> (unless I have missed an alternate destruct... log message)
09:56:45 <flo> aleth: there are 31 SOCKETADD and 31 SOCKETCANCEL calls, so the prpl isn't faulty here
09:57:02 <flo> (those are the only 2 things that can directly be called by libpurple)
09:57:32 <aleth> I was counting "Creating purple*" and "destructing purple*"
09:57:46 <flo> ok :)
09:58:08 <flo> and we end up with 27 idle socket watchers
09:58:25 <aleth> 31-(8/2)
09:58:26 <aleth> firts
09:58:30 <aleth> *fits
09:58:55 <flo> yes, there's a destructing purpleSocket and a destructing purpleSocketInternal message
09:59:02 <aleth> Yes.
09:59:33 <flo> hmm, it's strange that we are "sometimes" able to destroy them :-S
10:02:54 --> jb has joined #instantbird
10:08:13 <flo> ok, I see what's wrong
10:08:18 <flo> I don't have a fix yet though
10:08:30 <aleth> still :)
10:12:46 <-- Optimizer has quit (Ping timeout)
10:14:50 <flo> and here is the fix: http://pastebin.instantbird.com/44751 :)
10:16:16 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird
10:16:21 <flo> (the socket count (both active and idle) goes down to 0 after disconnecting the account when this fix is applied)
10:17:02 <flo> there may be thread safety issues though, I need to inspect the ways that variable is used
10:17:56 --> clokep has joined #instantbird
10:17:56 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep 
10:18:49 <aleth> I don't understand what that variable does
10:20:09 <aleth> But this suggests it won't hurt http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/purple/purplexpcom/src/purpleSockets.cpp#213
10:21:39 <flo> I don't understand what this suggests :-S
10:21:58 <flo> purpleSocketInternal::Run runs on the socket thread
10:22:05 <flo> my patch runs on the UI thread
10:22:49 <aleth> Yes, and you are seting mPollFlagsInternal = 0 when mCanceled = true for that thread.
10:23:08 <aleth> But I don't understand the code, so hey...
10:23:09 <flo> it's that code path I want to avoid
10:23:25 <flo> look at line 210 ;)
10:25:17 <aleth> yeah... the 28 times we reach line 213...
10:27:36 <aleth> Ars technica headline on TB13: "Mozilla is monetizing Thunderbird by integrating third-party services."
10:27:51 <flo> :)
10:30:41 <clokep> Are they saying that in a good way? Bad way? Or just informational way?
10:30:49 <clokep> flo: Sounds like you're making some progress on that then. :)
10:31:00 <aleth> clokep: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/personalized-e-mail-feature-in-thunderbird-13-lets-users-register-a-domain-name
10:31:20 <flo> clokep: it's pretty clear at this point that bug 1344 caused a bad regression
10:31:27 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344 nor, --, 1.2, florian, RESO FIXED, stop using XPCOM proxies in purpleSockets
10:31:32 <flo> but I still don't understand why it would break twitter on Tb :-S
10:32:09 <clokep> Could that have been a different bug?
10:33:53 <clokep> " More recent projects like the effort to add a built-in instant messaging client have been slow to land." :(
10:34:07 <clokep> "Impressive projects like the Gmail-inspired conversation layout are stuck in beta and seem to have stalled." Uhh....isn't that just an add-on?
10:34:39 <flo> it's an add-on because its code sucks
10:34:46 <flo> but people expected it would land at some point
10:34:52 <aleth> At least someone is impatient for IM ;)
10:36:01 <flo> that article seems pretty good
10:38:02 <clokep> Oh really? I didn't realize they wanted that to land eventually...
10:38:10 <clokep> The article is good, don't read the comments though. :-S
10:38:24 <clokep> Half of themare like "Bah, I'm uninstalling Thunderbird now!"
10:38:55 <aleth> Probably just like comments on browser reviews...
10:40:20 <clokep> Yeah, or on YouTube. ;)
10:41:18 <flo> clokep: "they" is undefined in your sentence ;)
10:42:08 <clokep> flo: So I realized all the Makefiles inside of purple/ still have tri-licenses on them.
10:42:43 <clokep> I assume we'd want to switch those.
10:46:43 <flo> the comments aren't that stupid on that article ;)
10:47:07 <flo> clokep: if you want to do that, go ahead :)
10:48:31 <clokep> I'll file a bug. ;)

12:59:12 <aleth> flo: There's also a clokep patch in checkin-needed afaik
13:00:42 <flo> I'll stay on the debug build with logging enabled for the rest of the day to see if I notice other issues
13:02:17 <flo> aleth: I'll try to think about it this evening
13:02:39 <flo> I just wanted to be completely sure I wouldn't forget the socket patch, as I would really like us to start testing builds with it asap :)
13:03:16 <aleth> Yes :) It's great at least one of those nasty bugs without STR is hopefully gone
13:03:26 <flo> 2 this week ;)
13:03:38 <flo> there was also the aContactA is null one ;)
13:04:28 <flo> I hope (which is kind of strange) that I'll have a flacky connection this evening, to see if it still misbehaves :)
13:04:51 <aleth> You might run into the connection timeout issue...
13:05:10 <flo> yeah... or not :)
13:05:20 <aleth> here's hoping ;)
13:05:26 <flo> it's possible that the timeout never happened because the socket was never actually created
13:06:23 <aleth> I wonder if bug 335 is fixed too by this... but then again it's a really old bug
13:06:26 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335 min, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Going offline should stop reconnection timers
13:06:37 <flo> it's currently stable at "[active=18 idle=0]"
13:06:54 <flo> aleth: definitely not, we need to fix this one
13:07:20 <flo> but that one isn't scary; we just need to look at the code in imAccounts.js and fix it
13:07:26 <aleth> So that's not a libpurple issue?
13:07:39 <aleth> I had assumed it must be due to the date on it
13:07:40 <flo> 335 is our bad
13:08:06 <flo> it's a bug that we had at the time our account handling was in C++ in purpleAccount.cpp
13:08:07 <instantbot> c++ is e-- ah, nevermind.
13:09:03 <flo> it's just more visible now because there's also a bug in socket.jsm
13:09:23 <flo> purpleAccount::Connect used to return early if we were offline
13:09:42 <flo> it still does actually: http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/purple/purplexpcom/src/purpleAccount.cpp#464
13:09:56 <flo> but it's just a safety check; that situation shouldn't happen
13:10:17 <flo> socket.jsm should have the same check
13:17:53 <aleth> Sounds like you have it fixed, bar the typing :)
13:19:04 <flo> no :)
13:21:27 <instantbot> florian@instantbird.org set the Resolution field on bug 1355 to FIXED.
13:21:27 <flo> fixing the problem in socket.jsm is trivial
13:21:29 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1355 maj, --, 1.2, florian, RESO FIXED, unable to establish any network connection until a restart of the application
13:21:53 <flo> but it shouldn't happen in the first place, and the imAccounts.js code around status change is a bit complicated, so I would need to really focus on it to produce a patch
13:23:13 <flo> the socket.jsm change will just give us a nicer error message in places where we currently fail with "Component returned failure code: 0x804b0010 (NS_ERROR_OFFLINE) [nsISocketTransportService.createTransport]"  nsresult: "0x804b0010 (NS_ERROR_OFFLINE)"  location: "JS frame :: resource:///modules/socket.jsm :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 443"

14:50:23 <aleth> clokep_work: Sure, I wasn't complaining :)

18:01:09 <clokep> Doesn't happy in IB it seems....?
18:01:37 <clokep> Ah maybe it only happens if a message was received though...
18:02:38 <Mook_as> well, of course I'm only switching to channels where I'm going to be reading things :p

18:40:48 <Mook_as> well, I still have no unread ruler due to some open bug on the tbird side ;)
18:41:14 <aleth> Mook_as: Nobody has implemented it for TB ;)
18:41:33 <aleth> Do you use TB solely for the IM part?
18:41:46 <Mook_as> yep. well...
18:42:00 <aleth> Why?
18:42:03 <Mook_as> I use tb-on-windows for mail/rss, and tb-on-linux for IRC?
18:42:23 <Mook_as> oh, I just wanted to try out how it's going; it's being my chatzilla-replacement at the moment.
18:42:25 <aleth> Ah. I thought it might be the single-window thing
18:42:40 <Mook_as> it is! I wouldn't want to actually use IB for IRC :)
18:43:05 <aleth> I wonder how hard it would be to take the TB interface and implement it as an add-on for IB
18:43:51 <aleth> Then you could have the best of both ;)
18:44:12 <Mook_as> yeah, that'd actually be nice
18:44:22 <Mook_as> except I'd also want multiple servers in one window... :p
18:45:04 <aleth> That's just tabs, right?
18:45:37 <Mook_as> but the point is to have unread count of all channels I'm in on screen at the same time
18:45:42 <Mook_as> so I know when to switch to them
18:46:22 <aleth> Sounds like you have a little project ahead of you :P

19:24:56 <flo> I tried to reconnect my debug build on the default profile, but after freezing for a while (only the error console wasn't frozen; and messages were scrolling very quickly there, I couldn't read) it crashed :-S
19:25:38 <flo> I restarted it, and it crashed during a poll call (apparently polling on an invalid file descriptor)
19:25:49 <flo> and then emacs crashed too

19:35:04 <flo> can you explain in a single line what most files do?
19:35:27 <aleth> No, but you can give a rough indication
19:36:01 --> FireFly_TB has joined #instantbird
19:36:03 <aleth> Let's be honest, currently the filename fulfils that job, and that's even shorter
19:37:47 <aleth> OK, maybe it wouldn't make much of a difference, I don't know.
19:38:40 <flo> You didn't specify < 80 columns, so your single line constraint is actually easy to fulfil :)
19:40:08 <flo> hmm "JavaScript Error: "aFunction.apply is not a function" {file: "resource:///modules/imXPCOMUtils.jsm" line: 76}]' when calling method: [nsITimerCallback::notify]" :-S
19:40:54 <flo> instantbird tells me that my previous startup crashed, so it disabled auto-login
19:40:55 <wnayes> flo: Yesterday clokep mentioned it would be a good idea to have some sort of code review on the importer work. I'm not sure how you would want to go about that, but I uploaded a patch of the changes since starting: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nayes006/gsoc2012/files/ImporterPatchJune7.patch
19:40:55 <flo> that's lovely :)
19:41:17 <aleth> In your patch https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/2ed5407c4a6a, what if you move the if (mPollFlagsInternal) block above the if (mCanceled) block?
19:41:43 <aleth> i.e. why is the order that way round?
19:42:06 <flo> aaarg!
19:42:08 <flo> no nick completion at all in 1.0 :
19:42:09 <flo> (
19:42:14 <aleth> wnayes: wow, looks like progress :)
19:42:24 <flo> aleth: why would you want to put that before the if(mCanceled) test?
19:43:17 <aleth> So mPollFlagsInternal is reset in any case? 
19:43:36 <aleth> But I'm not saying that's the way it should be, still trying to understand the code
19:43:38 <flo> mPollFlagsInternal is irrelevant if the watched is already canceled
19:44:16 <flo> a socket is idle when mPollFlags is 0, and becomes active when it has a non-null value
19:44:36 <aleth> But the existing code is careful to set it to zero even if canceled
19:44:57 <aleth> Maybe unneccessarily so
19:45:07 <flo> when the socket transport service tells us the socket is ready for what we were waiting (= we should now read or write something), we set mPollFlags to 0, store the previous value of mPollFlags in mPollFlagsInternal, and notify libpurple
19:45:10 <aleth> (it = mPollFlagsInternal)
19:45:27 <flo> when libpurple is done doing its stuff, we set mPollFlags back the its previous value (which was temporarily stored in mPollFlagsInternal)
19:45:35 <flo> does that clarify things?
19:46:23 <aleth> OK
19:47:04 <flo> aleth: mPollFlagsInternal != 0 means "we need to make the socket active". The code after the if (mPollFlagsInternal) test used to set it to 0 in all cases so that we wouldn't re-enter that code path
19:47:30 --> flo1 has joined #instantbird
19:49:01 <flo1> and this time everything seems to work OK :-S
19:50:32 <aleth> OK, so that code was just really confusingly structured before ;)
19:52:48 <flo1> it was!
19:53:09 <aleth> wnayes, flo: Would it be a good idea to file an "Import wizard" bug to which these WIP patches can be attached?
19:53:44 --> skeledrew has joined #instantbird
19:54:00 <flo1> I think so. If it turns out that it doesn't help, it wouldn't hurt either :)
19:54:16 <flo1> oh, the green dock badge :)
19:54:26 * flo is now known as flo-fr
19:54:31 * flo1 is now known as flo
19:54:46 * flo-fr sets mode +o flo 
19:55:16 <aleth> ^^ a nice test of various recent patches :D
19:55:46 <flo> is there any reason why current instantbird writes "mode (flo +o)" and old versions used to write "mode (+o flo)"?
19:56:13 <aleth> You'd have to ask clokep why he ordered the string that way...
19:57:27 <flo> I wonder if I should be worried by theses crashes
19:57:57 <flo> the only idea that I have to clarify things would be to restart with valgrind
19:58:11 <flo> but my debug build is already so slow when compiling Tb in the background :-/
19:59:08 <flo> wnayes: where does that throbber.gif file come from?
19:59:58 <flo> wnayes: jar.mn files is one of the rare places where you are allowed (and even encouraged) to use tabs :)
20:00:08 <flo> see instantbird/themes/jar.mn at the end of your patch
20:01:18 <wnayes> flo: the throbber.gif was from something mozilla related (added it awhile ago, can't really remember but I'm quite sure it came from an official mozilla site)
20:01:47 <wnayes> Tried to get those to be tabs, obviously didn't get every one :)
20:04:09 <flo> wnayes: I asked that about the throbber file becaue I'm almost sure it has been replaced a long while ago by an animated PNG file instead of a GIF file that doesn't support alpha transparency ;)
20:05:36 <wnayes> flo: I know I haven't seen it for awhile in Firefox :) Might not be in the final UI anyways.
20:06:50 <flo> yeah, it's not an important comment anyway :)
20:07:46 <flo> wnayes: what is this code supposed to do http://pastebin.instantbird.com/44802 ?
20:08:22 <flo> for |this.proto = undefined;| it seems you wanted |delete this.proto;|, for |optElement = undefined;| I really don't know what you tried to do
20:09:18 <flo> |if (this.proto == undefined)| looks like it wanted to be |if (!this.proto)|
20:09:42 <wnayes> resetValues() was what I came up with to basically reset the wizard when pressing "Add another account" on the summary page
20:10:01 <aleth> wnayes: Why do you need the executeSoon call in the start method?
20:10:59 <aleth> wnayes: |delete| will reset to the value specified in the prototype
20:11:42 <flo> |/* Cancel the running search for accounts */| add a . at the end of the sentence :)
20:12:24 <flo> aleth: I suspect there's no (interesting) prototype in that case; it's UI code :)
20:12:40 <flo> (and proto means protocol here, not prototype :))
20:13:11 <wnayes> aleth: The executeSoon was what flo suggested to prevent possible race conditions when the importers call the observing UI.
20:13:12 <aleth> I did realize he wasn't deleting the __proto__ ;)
20:13:48 <flo> wnayes: any reason for naming "start" the method doing the same thing as the "findAccounts" of the other interface?
20:14:14 <-- deomega1 has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com)
20:14:22 <aleth> I just thought it might come in handy when resetting values
20:14:23 <aleth> wnayes: That makes sense, thanks
20:15:06 <wnayes> flo: I suppose they could both be the same :)
20:15:33 <flo> wnayes: I prefer findAccounts
20:15:44 <flo> it's a little more descriptive of what's going to happen ;)
20:19:49 <flo> I don't understand why the imIModifiedPreference interface has both methods to get and to set the value of the pref
20:20:41 <aleth> wnayes: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/xul/themes/core/images/throbber.png

20:22:56 <wnayes> The ExistingAccounts store an array of ModifiedPreferences, which they create when the importer calls the set* methods.
20:23:03 <flo> Mook_as: that avoids the problem of the tab in jar.mn ;)
20:23:26 <aleth> The point of finding them on mxr was that they would already be there...
20:23:40 <wnayes> The set* methods on the ModifiedPreferences are called from the set methods of the ExistingAccounts, and the get* methods are used in the UI when creating the accounts.
20:23:52 <flo> wnayes: my question was why are they exposed on the interface :)
20:24:41 --> chrisccoulson has joined #instantbird
20:24:56 <flo> the object representing an existing account comes directly from the importer, so the importer has access to all of it, even what's not exposed in the interface
20:25:25 <flo> wnayes: so typically, what you want to expose in the interface is what either the UI or the importers service will want to call
20:29:11 <wnayes> flo: Alright, I think that makes sense. Still getting used to what needs to be in the interfaces and what doesn't. :) 
20:33:35 <flo> have you done some C++ before?
20:34:12 <flo> if so, think of the interface as what would be public: in the class ;)
20:34:53 <wnayes> No C++ I'm afraid, but that makes sense.
20:35:48 <flo> would "im-import-plugin" sound better than "im-importer-plugin"? (really not sure)
20:36:10 <flo> wnayes: heh, instantbot will love you ;)
20:37:34 <wnayes> Being that the get* methods are called by the UI, they would still be found in the interface (of ModifiedPreference)?
20:38:07 <flo> yes
20:39:08 <flo> by the way, why do you need the imIModifiedPreference at all? What makes the prplIPref interface unusable in this context?
20:41:08 <flo> http://pastebin.instantbird.com/44808 it seems the notification names on line 2 and 3, and line 5 and 10 would really want to be the same ;)
20:42:05 <wnayes> It seems that it stores only the default values. Though maybe a .value property can be just added on? There's a lot of flexibility with Javascript objects I'm not used to yet :)
20:42:54 <flo> wnayes: but you need only one value, don't you?
20:43:27 <flo> the UI can get the default value from importedAccount.protocol.getOptions() (or whatever that actually is; I haven't looked up the exact names)
20:44:56 <flo> |this.notifyObservers(this, "account-search-finished", aData);| I don't think you want to forward aData in this case (the aData value from the last imported completing his search is probably not relevant to the UI)
20:45:14 <flo> (that's just theoretical anyway, as I suspect that aData will always be null)
20:45:55 <flo> "\ No newline at end of file" this is bad ;
20:45:56 <flo> )
20:46:20 <wnayes> flo: You're saying use the default value to store the new value in a PrplPref? That could work but I didn't know how correct it would be :)
20:47:28 <wnayes> The notifications in that paste could be the same, although I thought it would be more relevant to the UI that an existing account was found as opposed to including a detail that an importer found an account.
20:47:53 <flo> wnayes: back to aleth's comment/question about executeSoon: it's a good pratice to always add a comment explaining why we need an executeSoon or setTimeout call, as these tend to be workaround for obscure bugs, and it's nice to have a way to know if the reason why it was added still exists when later cleaning up the code
20:48:46 <flo> wnayes: why can't the importer notify the importer service with the "existing-account-found" string?
20:49:03 <flo> and with "account-search-finished"
20:50:27 <wnayes> flo: That would work. I'll add that comment too. I'm afraid I need to run some errands for my parents now. Thanks for looking over this, maybe we can continue the review tomorrow? :)

20:50:48 <flo> wnayes: why is there an executeSoon call in pidgin.js's start method?
20:51:06 <flo> wnayes: you can read instantbot's log, can't you? ;)
20:51:37 <wnayes> I will, didn't know if you would rather have me here to answer anything about it :)
20:52:08 <flo> you may want to file a bug and then attach your existing patch, and copy paste (the relevant parts of) our discussion, so that you can then reply in a way that's readable
20:52:46 <flo> I may not look at all the code tonight, I'm very tired, so I think I'll go to bed soon
20:53:04 <wnayes> Sounds good, thanks and good night :)

20:59:39 <flo> I don't see you you use NetUtil.readInputStreamToString followed by xmlParser.parseFromString instead of something like xmlParser.parseFromStream(stream, null, stream.available(), "text/xml");
21:00:28 <flo> |for (var i = 0; i < accounts.length; ++i) {| var -> let. You seem to have lots of lines that could throw inside that loop if the xml file isn't structured strictly like you expect

21:00:42 <flo> you may want to do some error checking, or add a try/catch
21:04:20 --> meh has joined #instantbird
21:04:34 <flo> now looking in jsImporterHelper.jsm
21:05:15 <flo> "existingAccount" -> "ExistingAccount" (upper case for the first later of a constructor name)
21:05:45 <flo> this._autoLogin = false; (and the next 3 lines in the constructor) -> move that to the prototype
21:06:05 <flo> only objects and array need to be initialized in the constructor to avoid issues when sharing them between instances
21:07:48 <flo> the dateModified setter and getter seem useless. When you have both a getter and a setter (ie you aren't using the getter as a way to make the property read only) and the only thing they do is forward to a property of the object, that property could be used directly
21:08:39 <flo> so instead of having |_time: 0, get dateModified() this._time, set dateModified(aDate) this._time = aDate,| you can have only |dateModified: 0,| in the prototype
21:08:56 <flo> that comment applies for the dateModified, autoLogin, password and alias properties
21:09:47 --> EionRobb has joined #instantbird
21:11:13 <flo> the code in existingAccount.setBool (and setInt and setString) is a bit complicated, and seems duplicated between the 3 methods. I haven't made the effort of fully understanding it because I think you will refactor it anyway if you start using the prplIPref interface directly
21:12:06 <flo> you may want to use the ClassInfo helper from imXPCOMUtils.jsm instead of implementing getInterfaces yourself
21:12:46 <flo> I'm not reviewing modifiedPreference
21:14:38 <flo> and I haven't really looked at the UI parts of the patch
21:17:12 <flo> overall you seem to have made great progress :)
21:17:47 <flo> and I think it was a good idea to request some code feedback at this point, as changing names would be more annoying if you had more code
