We should be able to enable/disable the opening and closing transitions used by arrow-panel popups with the toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled pref.
This will also allow us to stabilize tests that are race-y because of these animations, which is blocking landing of work on 1352075

Known issues:
* Logic looks right, but setting animate attribute in popupshowing is too late to affect how the panel opens, we only see the change the next time. I dont fully understand this, do we need to trigger a style flush (if so, how?) or is this somehow set during InitializePopup
* Using animate=false attribute causes some state issue - a click on the anchor while the popup is already open should close it, but instead it closes and re-opens. Currently trying to track down what's going on with this.

WIP patch to update the animate attribute and transitioning behavior based on the toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled pref
Review of attachment 8885879 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I tested out the patch and I couldn't get animations to disable when changing the pref through about:config. I also wasn't able to get the popup to reopen instead of closing when clicking on the anchor. Maybe this is a difference between which platform we were using (I am using Windows atm). I attached a patch that worked fine for me with neither of the issues you mentioned.

Bug 1380065 - Disable arrow-panel animations if the cosmeticAnimations pref is set to false.
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/157040/#review163100
I still get the re-opening behaviour when animate=false, on OSX. I think we need to get an answer to that before we can move forward with this. The pref/animation logic does indeed work better with this patch though.

To be clear, this re-opening behavior is an existing issue with the handling of animate="false" in the popup code, for OSX only.

Try results are coming in: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=e6d640e7598e4894f8081dde1f7338afa27cd2ed
Its still running, but so far I see lots of failures on Linux. Which is unexpected as we dont animate arrow panel opening/closing at all on Linux today. The couple I've looked into fail reliably locally without the popup.xml changes - simply toggling cosmeticAnimations.enabled in prefs_general.js is enough to cause failures. E.g.
39 INFO TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | browser/components/migration/tests/browser/browser_undo_notification.js | Notification should be closing - Got [object XULElement], expected null
Stack trace:
chrome://mochikit/content/browser-test.js:test_is:967
chrome://mochitests/content/browser/browser/components/migration/tests/browser/browser_undo_notification.js:autoMigrationUndoNotificationShows:70
Jim, have you run into any of this - any ideas? The idea is to stabilize otherwise flaky tests that need to interact with popups (arrow-panels specifically) and have to workaround the timing issues presented by these transitions. I wasn't expecting this kind of fallout..

Looks like the issue is that the test expects the *notification* to be animated, not necessarily the popup. `._closedNotification` is for when the notification is in the middle of closing, I think. Maybe there's another way to write a similar test, but I'm not sure as I never had to update tests for that code in my bug.

Let's just enable the cosmeticAnimations pref in these notification tests that are failing.

I went through the test failures on https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=e6d640e7598e4894f8081dde1f7338afa27cd2ed&selectedJob=115009803 and have adjusted tests where appropriate to set the cosmeticAnimations pref to true. A number of the failures were due to a missing Services.jsm dependency, so I've added that in to the binding.

Please use SpecialPowers.pushPrefEnv so we don't have to cache the original value, and this will also clean up after itself when the test completes.

Tests like this where we want to put the pref back to its original value before the test has finished probably shouldn't use pushPrefEnv, though I'm not sure if we need to clean up so quickly in this test.

Please use the Components.classes[1] here as I see that's more popular in the /toolkit/content/widgets. Sorry for misleading you.

I fixed this to use SpecialPowers.set/setBoolPref, but otherwise left it as-is. We do want the rest of the test to run with the default test prefs. This last test specifically tests for transitionend, but we dont want to leave a booby trap for when someone adds a subsequent test. I didn't see an obvious way to use the asyn pushPrefEnv here without re-writing how the tests are invoked..

For reasons I don't fully understand, browser/base/content/test/tabcrashed/browser_noPermanentKey.js also seems to be sensitive to this pref change. I've re-enabled the pref in this test, as well as browser/base/content/test/general/browser_alltabslistener.js which appear to be the last stand-outs.
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=9ea6cec290822dff498f054248bf59c8f6c1336e
Mike, I'm putting this on your radar as if this doesnt fix it I'm going to be looking for new ideas :) I'm trying not to boil the ocean with this patch - the idea was that disabling this pref would be a win for stability and the fastest path to getting 1352075 landed. If that turns out not to be the case I'll want to reconsider the approach here.

That last try push looks pretty good, I'm going to try landing this.
To summarize, the patch disables the toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enable pref for tests, and makes the animated open/close behavior of arrow-panels contingent on this pref being enabled. The animations controlled by the cosmeticAnimations pref introduce unnecessary time and complexity where these UI components arent directly under test. For this reason, the patch disables the pref by default for all tests. A number of tests either explicitly looked for a transitionend event to know if for example a notification was visible, or were more subtly affected by this change. For each of those affected tests - and tests directly concerned with the animating behavior - I've re-enabled the pref to get them to pass again.

The browser_aboutStopReload.js failure is because it is a new test that wasn't in the previous pushes to tryserver but it should also get the toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.pref enabled for the test since it tests the presence and lack of animations.
I looked at the browser_ext_popup_select.js and don't see why this could have failed.

Thanks for backing out :KWierso. I'll get a new patch together with the fix for the browser_aboutStopReload.js test. I've seen failures from browser_ext_popup_select.js as I've been testing the patch I landed, but like :jaws, I looked at the test and didn't see how this pref change could affect it. I can give it the same re-enable pref treatment and see how it goes, but it would be voodoo if it worked :)

Yep, thanks. Was too quick on the trigger there. Kris Maglione confirmed in irc that the browser_ext_popup_select.js test is indeed known to run better with animations enabled, so I'll update the patch and re-land.

I had seen some failures in test_bug884693.xul over the last week, but after looking at what the test was testing, I dismissed them as noise. I can certainly do a full try run before attempting to re-land, but more importantly I have to treat my patch as guilty until proven innocent for every orange in each run. If you have any tips on how to use the tools we have to establish culpability and causality ahead of landing, I would appreciate them.

I'm putting this on the back-burner for now. It may not be practical at this point to toggle this pref off for all tests, especially as toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled controls such a broad range of behavior across both browser and toolkit. However this exercise has highlighted some strange magic that exists today in our code and tests; signals of problems that are currently papered over. If we end up closing wontfix, we should first file separate bugs for these test failures - turning off cosmetic animations for tests is a thing we /should/ be able to do, and the fallout which doing so creates represents bad code smells at minimum, if not outright bugs.

I think it'd be useful to at least land the non-test code here. Disabling the doorhanger animations seems like a sensible change for users who toggle that pref.

Agreed, I'm reversing the dependency though as I want to land the new animation first, then hook up the preference to control it. As we're going to expose this pref to users in bug 1357349 we do want to get tests running with this pref disabled sooner or later
