I'm going to track my work on the "instant messaging in Thunderbird" feature here. The discussion for the feature is summarized on the wiki in a feature page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Thunderbird/Instant_messaging_in_Thunderbird The attached patch is a work in progress. With it, it's already possible to use Google Talk, Facebook Chat and Twitter. The UI isn't finished, we need to add at least: - a way to change the user's status - a way to add IM contacts - a way to join a chat room. - a way to access old (logged) conversations. I'm still working on back-end stuff to integrate with the address book and gloda, but it may be a good time to start start looking at the code and playing with the work-in-progress UI (warning: the appearance is quite OK on Mac, but quite rough on Windows/Linux for now). A try server build is available at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/try-builds/florian@queze.net-c22e6f1b4df9/

Some known issues: - there are some really bad margins on some UI elements on the Windows build. You may not see the first character you type in the chat textbox because of that. - Sometimes the "Account Settings..." dialog loses track of *all* IM accounts. The accounts are still listed in the "Instant messaging accounts status" dialog though. I've seen this only once, but I know Jb has also suffered from this problem. We do not know the steps to reproduce so I currently can't fix it, if anybody can find steps to reproduce, that would be awesome. - this build will identify to the Twitter server as "Instantbird".

why would you use instant messaging in your mail client? Aren't there enough programs for IM that do their job well?

Why not? No same program works in windows, in Mac OS, in Gnu/Linux (this one could be,is still beta: http://jitsi.org/ and it's use java). Send an email or a tweet, or instant message is communication why Tb must only make an email ? Jingle is the future, Thunderbird could help it to be a strong standard.

New work in progress. The most significant change is that I changed the log format to something JSON-based that's easily parsable, and I taught gloda to index these logs. There are also various small bug fixes. I'm going to start attaching smaller patches and request feedback/review on them.

From a quick glance at your code, the changes in mailnews/db/gloda are really minimal, which makes me happy. Your indexer also reuses almost everything from Gloda (nouns, attributes, the logic for storing arbitrary objects in the database), so that's pretty cool. Here's a few remarks. - I didn't figure out quite clearly how your "directory-sweep" was triggered, but I think you may want to reuse the indexing job mechanism with its "dont-thrash-the-cpu" logic. If you happen to be reindexing the entire log directory because, said, the user is a nightly tester and the gloda schema was bumped (and the database was blown away), I don't think you want to almost lock up Thunderbird doing the indexing. - At this point, I think the global-messages-db.sqlite file size is going to become critical, and there's going to be terrible disk fragmentation, cache misses, and abysmal performance from sqlite. The situation is already bad for users with a lot of emails. If we index both IM logs and emails, users who use both are going to see a pretty sharp degradation of their Gloda performance. Andrew had plans for a "splintered" gloda, meaning some stuff is split across multiple database files. Andrew, can you tell us more about these plans and possibly give a relevant bug#? I believe this is of utmost (!) importance to keep things reactive and responsive. This looks pretty exciting!

Also splintering would allow you to bump your IM DB schemas, and trigger a reindexing of IM logs only. Right now we have a gloda-wide version number. If you bump that number, everything is re-indexed. One could imagine a database version number for gloda-classic, and another separate one for gloda-im.

It's entirely driven by indexer.js so the whole logic should be the same as for emails. First initialSweep is called, that queues a logsFolderSweep indexer job. The logsFolderSweep worker will traverse all the directories in <profile dir>/logs and queue a convFolderSweep job for each folder containing conversation log that it finds. The convFolderSweep worker will index all the log files of the given directory. It will yield after each file, so that should never lock the UI for more than a few ms. > If you happen to be reindexing the entire > log directory because, said, the user is a nightly tester and the gloda > schema was bumped (and the database was blown away), I still need to figure out how to do that. Currently I keep track of already indexed files with a JSON cache file, but if the gloda database is blown away, I need to delete that cache file too, otherwise nothing's going to be re-indexed. Is there some kind of notification when the gloda database starts from scratch for some reason? > - At this point, I think the global-messages-db.sqlite file size is going to > become critical, and there's going to be terrible disk fragmentation To dramatically reduce disk fragmentation, we could call setGrowthIncrement (http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/storage/public/mozIStorageConnection.idl#378) with a large value on the database connection, like Places does: http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/toolkit/components/places/Database.cpp#640 (A quick mxr search seemed to indicate Gloda currently doesn't use setGrowthIncrement at all, of course if it already does, this comment is irrelevant :)). > cache misses, and abysmal performance from sqlite. I think Places has some other tricks to improve performance of the SQLite connection. I don't remember them very well. That being said, splitting the large database into several smaller files does sound like a good idea for the various reasons you explained :). I'm just not sure it needs to be done immediately.

This all is very exciting! I have recently switched to using Instantbird for my IM/IRC uses and like it very much. My preliminary efforts to re-do the gloda data store are in the "glodang" repo here: http://hg.mozilla.org/users/bugmail_asutherland.org/glodang/file/498707aa91b5/lib/glodang It mainly consists of speculative comments where I was still thinking things through. Today I would be much more inclined to try and do as much as possible using LevelDB or IndexedDB backed by LevelDB with a single database, although some degree of sharding might still be in order for that. (Because of the lexicographic ordering for storage, the need for sharding is greatly reduced.) Although I agree gloda has some scale-up problems, I don't think it makes sense to require a massive gloda overhaul before allowing instant message integration. I would be concerned about the logs for IRC channels funneling into the same database because they can be voluminous, but I expect a user's own 1:1 conversations should be of a manageable size, especially with protz's recent page size increases for the gloda database. I only had a few minutes to skim the patch and did not make it all the way through. It looks like there is synchronous database access off the main thread for part of the existing Instantbird codebase. Unless the database is a pure in-memory database, that logic is going to need to be converted to using mozStorage's async database support. I will try and take a look over the next few days. (I am in the process of changing countries :)

This large part is Instantbird's IM core, with only 2 minor differences: - Using the preference "mail.spellcheck.inline" for Thunderbird instead of "layout.spellcheckDefault" (that's ifdef'd). - A PRBool replaced to bool in an idl file. Both of these changes can go in the instantbird repository eventually. There may still be some changes in this part of the patch (especially in the XMPP protocol plugin, as there's a dozen or so not-yet-implemented features that I would like to have so that JS-XMPP isn't a regression compared to the libpurple xmpp plugin Instantbird used) so I'm not requesting review yet; but it's mostly stable so I think it's a good time for you to start getting familiar with this code and asking me questions about it.

The database used by the existing Instantbird code is used to store the contact list. It's read only once when the IM core is initialized, then all the information is available in memory. Changes are written from the main thread and don't use the async API. That caused performance issues when downloading the contact list of an account from the server and storing each contact in the database. I tried using the async API to resolve that, but it was difficult because the current code expects to be able to get lastInsertRowID immediately. I've found an easier way to workaround the performance issue: all the database accesses are now automatically wrapped in a transaction that's commited automatically at the end of the even loop spin. This ensures that we write the database to disk at most once per even loop spin, and nobody has ever complained about buddy list storage performance since I added that.

Fix mailnews/base/prefs/content/AccountManager.js: - handle accounts without any subpanel - call onPreInit before getPageFormElements in the restorePage function so that the form elements can be dynamically generated by the panel's code when its onPreInit function is called. This patch can land before the rest of the changes here, it only improves slightly the extensibility of the Account Settings dialog.

At some point my nsIMsgIncomingServer implementation lacked the msgStore getter and that made nsMsgDBFolder::HandleAutoCompactEvent crash because JS objects return undefined when attempting to get an undefined property, which is converted to null and NS_OK. While there was obviously a problem in my JS component, I don't think it's a good behavior to crash because of a missing getter in an implementation of a scriptable interface, so here is a patch.

Without this change, it's impossible to define a gloda noun associated with a table defined using the schema property but that doesn't have an "ext_" prefix. If the IM features are built-in, I don't think we will want the "ext_" prefix.

I think this part is mostly stable now and is ready for getting some feedback, at least to see if your hackometer explodes :). The code used to create an account from the account wizard is: var accountManager = Cc["@mozilla.org/messenger/account-manager;1"] .getService(Ci.nsIMsgAccountManager); var inServer = accountManager.createIncomingServer(this.username, this.proto.id, // hostname "im"); inServer.wrappedJSObject.imAccount = acc; var account = accountManager.createAccount(); account.incomingServer = inServer; accountManager.notifyServerLoaded(inServer); where acc is a variable containing an instance of imIAccount. The two interfaces implemented here (nsIMsgProtocolInfo and nsIMsgIncomingServer) have lots of methods and attributes. I took the approach of implementing only those that are actually being called. This is ugly and may be a bit fragile, but not necessarily more than implementing lots methods I don't understand and so where I wouldn't be sure that I'm always returning correctly the value that would cause the least pointless/dangerous executions if somehow they ever got called. At least with methods not implemented at all, there's a clear warning in the terminal (with debug builds) when something is called unexpectedly. Having to implement the rootFolder getter was a bit unfortunate, but lots of different parts of the existing code expect that it will always be there. The account manager even uses account.rootFolder.prettyName as the name to display in the UI!

That's surprising, and bad. We rely on the xpcom rule that a method shouldn't return null and NS_OK throughout the code.

(In reply to David :Bienvenu from comment #16) > That's surprising, and bad. We rely on the xpcom rule that a method > shouldn't return null and NS_OK throughout the code. The rule is respected for methods, but this is an attribute getter.

Comment on attachment 587855 [details] [diff] [review] AccountManager.js bugfix looks OK - my one concern is whether this might break any existing extensions that add their own stuff to account settings. It doesn't seem like it should, but extensions tend to be fragile. If it seems likely to break extensions, a post to m.d.a.t. would be worthwhile, but if it seems highly unlikely, then don't bother.

There's a difference between information being available in memory, and creating a pure in-memory database using ":memory:" as the table name (see http://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html). Can you confirm that this is what you're doing? (Sorry, I don't have time to read the patch to make sure :)). We've been fighting in the Firefox area to remove any synchronous access, it would be shame to degrade Thunderbird performance when the entire toolkit has made sure they're not using any synchronous connections. (I won't refer your to the numerous MDN pages with big banners with red <h1>s, I guess you know about them :)). > Changes are written from the main thread and don't use the async API. That > caused performance issues when downloading the contact list of an account > from the server and storing each contact in the database.

Of course, but Thunderbird demands much more from mozStorage, and there's already gloda issuing a lot of requests. We should make sure no one is intentionally making aggressive queries and doing a lot of IO, otherwise, with all other sqlite clients running on the same thread, this is likely to yield sizable performance issues :). I think we should sort out the synchronous sqlite concern before landing this.

(In reply to Florian Quèze from comment #11) > I tried using the > async API to resolve that, but it was difficult because the current code > expects to be able to get lastInsertRowID immediately. gloda deals with this by determining the current maximum value at startup and then updating the value itself as it issues writes. This should be pretty easy to do. > I've found an easier way to workaround the performance issue: all the > database accesses are now automatically wrapped in a transaction that's > commited automatically at the end of the even loop spin.

Yes, making sure to wrap things in a transaction so you only use 1 transaction for N statements rather than N transactions for N statements is definitely a good thing for performance. If you are not going to consolidate your calls to executeAsync to occur in a single batch (which is to say, 1 call to executeAsync on the connection rather than the statements), you may want to 'manually' manage the async transactions by issuing a 'BEGIN' statement and a 'COMMIT' statement yourself. This is how gloda does things (because it was written before the batching support existed, primarily). This works because mozStorage only tries to wrap batches in transactions (and if it is automatically wrapping things in a transaction, it does not freak out if its attempt to open a transaction fails)). In any event, I'm with protz that Thunderbird does not need any additional main-thread I/O. If your database can survive with totally disabling fsyncs (and thereby increasing chances of corruption), it might be manageable, but otherwise it's a bad idea.

Florian, when you get a chance, a try server build with a more recent mailnews backend would be helpful - something from the last couple days would be good.

Newer version of the patch. It's now possible to search the indexed messages.

Comment on attachment 587869 [details] [diff] [review] Integration with nsIMsgAccountManager + if (!id) + return null; + Services.core.init(); + return (this._imAccount = Services.accounts.getAccountById(id)); Are IM services called Services? Won't that conflict with Mozilla Services, which we use quite a bit in the code. We use MailServices for our own services. right, realHostName is not used in the folderPane UI - it's used in the back end to connect to the actual server. This allows the user to change the actual server w/o invalidating URI's. constructedPrettyName is only used if server.name is not set. I'm a little worried about fallout from including IM accounts in accountMgr.accounts; it might lead to further dummy stubs, but if it makes integration easier, it seems like a reasonable approach.

Tools menu, instant messaging account status was the only way I could find to create a new IM account. I was able to create a twitter account, but no IRC account, so my testing of actual IM'ing is limited... I can't find the options UI to control how the messages are displayed (I'm not a fan of the bubbles).

This also worries me but not for the same reason: I'm afraid Services.accounts could be misleading inside Thunderbird (as a Thunderbird add-on author, I would expect that to be an nsIMsgAccountManager instance. In parts of the code I'm adding here that are sharing the same scope as existing Thunderbird UI code, I've used this pattern: var imServices = {}; Components.utils.import("resource:///modules/imServices.jsm", imServices); imServices = imServices.Services; I'm not sure if it's really good, but at least it's not confusing.

IRC isn't supported yet, as Instantbird uses GPL'ed code for it. A JS implementation is in the work though (https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507), at this point it's mostly waiting for me to take time to review it. Even if we had an IRC plugin, the prototype here doesn't have any UI to join a chat room so actually using IRC would be very difficult. > I can't find the options UI to control how the messages are displayed (I'm > not a fan of the bubbles). If I understood correctly, we won't expose any UI to change message themes but the Bubbles theme won't remain the default if Andreas can provide a more Thunderbird-looking alternative :).

Yeah, I guess this is more important for getting testing from Mozilla developers and almost completely unimportant for our user base.

Comment on attachment 587848 [details] [diff] [review] chat/ part I didn't look at the UI parts of this patch, especially the strings and style/theme stuff.

This small patch now gives the chat toolbar button an icon on Linux and Windows.

It seems like running this patch makes everything to tall to fit the main tb window, so I've been having some issues testing the chat. Some quick things: * Contacts show the protocol and the status, I don't think the protocol is that important. Most clients tends to hide this info until you click a contact. * I agree with Bienvenu that new chat account would be good under file > new, I though I had done something wrong until I found it in the accounts dialog. * Opening a conversation don't move it from Contacts to Conversation, making the one in Contacts unclickable. * Might be good to be able to click the whole name for chat in contact list instead of the small chat bubble that appears on hover.

It might be a little bit late for this, but I was thinking: would it be wrong to implement this as an add-on that ships with Thunderbird (like Test Pilot)? That seems like it would be a good way of, say, letting enterprises disable IM support in Thunderbird, or for the people who love to complain about "bloat". In the future, I could see Lightning being distributed as a default add-on as well.

(In reply to Neustradamus from comment #35) > There is not "Jabber ID", an XMPP account Generic XMPP support isn't advertised in the new account wizard because we don't have support for DNS SRV queries yet (see bug 14328) and it's my understanding that lots of (if not most) generic XMPP services rely on DNS SRV.

It's possible your example was shortened because it's well, just an example, but I hate these comments that don't document anything and only duplicate the information that was already obvious from the method prototype with the method name, parameter names and types and return value type. They are a waste of everybody's time because when they are there, one feels completed to read them before deciding they aren't helpful and it's better to just go look at the implementation. Valuable doxygen style comments need to document the method enough that I won't want to look at its implementation. Things that I'll typically need to know: - how expensive a call to that API will be (should I call it only once, or can I call it in a loop?) - is it returning a copy of the object that I can freely modify or exposing some internal data structure that I shouldn't mess with? - how the error handling is done (if it's done at all) ... And yes, that's very tedious, as you said :).

When doing Instantbird reviews, I require let for new files, and recommend it for new functions in existing files. When modifying an existing function already using var, I recommend using var too in new lines for consistency.

It only suppresses the modal dialog. By the way, I haven't been able to find any way to prevent the connection from being rejected if NSS has already examined the certificate and is unhappy with it; nor to give NSS a different hostname than what was used to create the socket. This will be problematic when we will support DNS SRV queries, as we will connect to the hostname indicated in the SRV records but receive a certificate for the domain in the user's XMPP id (if the server is configured correctly). > Which reminds me, has a > security review been scheduled for IM in TB?

(In reply to Magnus Melin from comment #42) > (In reply to Florian Quèze from comment #40) > > > > +let EXPORTED_SYMBOLS = ["Services"]; > > Why not const instaed of let? Usage of const/var/let or just nothing before EXPORTED_SYMBOLS isn't consistent throughout mozilla-central and comm-central (http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=EXPORTED_SYMBOLS), so there was no particular reason for let instead of const here; anyway I agree that const seems to make more sense, so my next patch will use only const in that case. > > > > + > > > > +function MUCParticipant(aNick, aName, aStanza) > > > > > > what's a MUC? > > > > Multi-User Chat > > It's standard XMPP terminology. > > For someone new to the code, this is where doxygen comments would have > helped ;) This function is an internal detail of a file, not an exposed/exported API in any way, so it's probably not the best example of the usefulness of doxygen comments.

Most easy review comments have been addressed + this now stores passwords in the password manager.

+kw: sec-review-needed wb: [secr:ptheriault] We need to do a code level review of the sanitization code and possibly other areas. This task will be done by ptheriault.

Results of security review are in 727216, since they may impact InstantBird. I'm new here so just let me know if I'm doing it wrong ;)

The WIP4 patch had bitrotted slightly and I've hit this on two different systems now, so I thought it was better to upload the patch here instead of unbitrotting it by hand every time.

(this patch also includes the Linux and Windows toolbar icons) Some initial style fixes for Chat under Aero. Still WIP.

Is there a nightly release channel yet or is this still too early (besides downloading the code manually)? Thanks!

Makes it look like the rest of the Aero TB ui. Now onto the fun part, the chat styling!

This attachment is an updated version of attachment 593063 [details] [diff] [review], now with IRC support. It also includes Andreas' attachment 600385 [details] [diff] [review]. Try server builds with this attachment are at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/try-builds/florian@queze.net-0ea9ece75584/ I'm working on UI stuff these days, so the changes in the next sets of builds will likely be more visible.

The left pane of the Chat tab now works mostly like I intend it to work. I also fixed some bitrot caused by bug 723081 so gloda indexing of conversations works again.

Most of the UI now works as intended. I still need to add: - a Chat tab in the preference window - a context menu on the conversation content - a status selector in the chat toolbar and in the Instant messaging status dialog.

Comment on attachment 603751 [details] [diff] [review] WIP 7 David said during the product council meeting today that he wants to look at the IRC code. It may also be a good idea to look at the interdiff between what you already reviewed and the current WIP (mostly handing your feedback and fixing a few bugs here and there).

Do you mean the lines with only "// XXX" and no additional comment, or all the XXX comments in general?

Both - XXX generally means there's significant work left to do or something seriously potentially wrong. I'd be happy if you removed the ones that don't fit into those two categories. Generally, XXX comments need to be addressed before landing, and I'm presuming that none or very few of these need to be addressed before landing.

(In reply to David :Bienvenu from comment #58) > Generally, XXX comments need to be addressed before landing, Ah? My understanding (or at least what I do) is: FIXME -> needs to be fixed, preferably before landing; can wait but is sure to hurt us in someway or another eventually TODO -> not implemented and needs be eventually, but can wait XXX (often followed by the irc nick of the author) -> reflects the thoughts or mood of the author of the code at the time of writing that specific piece of code. A typical example would be "XXX This doesn't seem exactly right, but the spec is inconsistent on this point anyway." > and I'm presuming that none or very few of these need to be > addressed before landing. Right. This has already landed for Instantbird and went through lots of review iterations during the last few weeks (the JS-IRC code has actually been in development for over 2 years!).

Florian's definition of my XXX comments is right: it means there's something left to do (which might just be researching what we need to do still), but IRC seemed quite usable without it. I'm OK changing these to TODO comments or something else, but I do not think it's appropriate to just remove them (as they represent SOME work to be done, even if it's not important). Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the internal workings of the IRC code!

I'd use TODO if there's something to do; for things where you're not sure, perhaps a more specific comment to that effect.

Took it from multicolored crazy bubbles to something more moderate (and twitter-like)

winstripe and qute coming up!

This seems ready for a string freeze! (except for the strings you will want to change during the review of course)

Also includes pinstripe and qute icons

With preferences icons (wip)

Comment on attachment 604461 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v8 In general, I'm fine with this, modulo my comments about XXX comments. You can simply remove the XXX if you want, and file follow up bugs. I assume once we get our new twitter api key, logging onto twitter won't tell me that Instantbird is trying to logon?

Oh yes, one other comment to muddy the water - this is a UI point, but a source of a bit of pain for me as a user - it would be nice if I could reconnect directly from the IM tab, e.g., by right clicking on the account and clicking connect/disconnect, instead of having to go through the accounts window, which I don't otherwise need.

(In reply to David :Bienvenu from comment #71) > I assume once we get our new twitter api key, logging onto twitter won't > tell me that Instantbird is trying to logon? Right, it will say Thunderbird and show a Thunderbird logo (even when running Daily or Earlybird; the alternative would be to have a different key for each of them and to put the key in the branding, but that would require the user to re-authentify when switching between channels).

(In reply to David :Bienvenu from comment #72) > it would be nice if I could > reconnect directly from the IM tab, e.g., by right clicking on the account > and clicking connect/disconnect Where do you expect to be able to right click exactly? To connect or disconnect all your accounts at once, you should be able to use the status selector of the Chat toolbar (switching between an offline and a non-offline status); although that's neither as easy to use, nor as easy to discover as I intended :(.

Comment on attachment 604461 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v8 Some comments: "Please enter the username for your IRC account" should be "Please enter the username and server for your IRC account". I see "JS Test" and "Override Test" chat networks. I'm guessing they should be removed. The error text for a selected account is dark red on a dark blue background. It's really hard to read. If we get a bad password, I think we should re-prompt, but I think you mentioned that that might be hard? Sending a message to my wife (who isn't logged in), I get: JavaScript error: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul, line 137: setColors is not defined We shouldn't have the (Facebook, or any other) password box in the settings dialog, I think.

Comment on attachment 604461 [details] [diff] [review] [diff] [review] Patch v8 mail/themes/qute/mail/chat.css has an deprecated -moz-border-radius. Can you change it to only border-radius? Then #IMSearchInput has also a radius under Windows TB 13.

> If we're going to have "Host name" and "Real name", I think we should also use "User name". How about hostname in one word and username in one? User name in two words always sounds to me like it might be the user's name, which it usually isn't.

I tried a IM build from try server under windows and found this issues: - The IM toolbar under Win7 has a negative margin of 3px on the left because of a definition from .chromeclass-toolbar. This toolbar has no ID and this makes it difficult to apply a -moz-margin-start: 0px. Please can you add a ID? - With a ID under XP and Win7 a bottom border can be applied. The border is missing on both systems. Normally this border is applied with the toolbox but the toolbar is made without a toolbox. - The toolbar isn't customizable to switch between big and small icons or only text, only icon, icons and text or the normally default of icons beside text.

Thanks for trying it and thanks for the feedback! I think most (if not all) of your concerns expressed here have been addressed in attachment 604461 [details] [diff] [review] (especially, the toolbar is now customizable, it has an id, and a toolbox is used). I assume you tried the try server build from the link I gave in comment 57, which was based on attachment 603751 [details] [diff] [review]. I pushed to the try server again after attaching attachment 604461 [details] [diff] [review], but the build seems to have failed because of an unrelated bustage. I'll probably push to try again tomorrow after making changes requested in comment 75.

Toolbar icons now displays correctly on Aero.

(In reply to Blake Winton (:bwinton - Thunderbird UX) from comment #75) > Comment on attachment 604461 [details] [diff] [review] Thanks for the feedback! I'm replying only to the comments that I haven't addressed with the new patch or that asked a question. > "Please enter the username for your IRC account" should be "Please enter the > username and server for your IRC account". This string is generic, with only the protocol name which is replaced. Do you really want us to introduce an IRC special case? We have a second strings that is "Please enter the username (<user name hint>) for your <protocol name> account". Would you like us to display the string "and server" as a hint for IRC? That would be a bit hackish, but save us the special case in the wizard. By the way, for Google Talk, I think we will want to add "email address" as a username hint (that's way easier to do than adding an empty text in the focused username box). > I see "JS Test" and "Override Test" chat networks.

That may not be very difficult actually; we already prompt for a password when the user attempts to connect a password without any password saved in the password manager. I'll try to look into this soon! > Sending a message to my wife (who isn't logged in), I get: > JavaScript error: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul, line 137: > setColors is not defined This JS error isn't related to sending something to someone who isn't logged in. Any message bubble causes this error; it's a consequence of applying attachment 604280 [details] [diff] [review] which removed the setColors function, but not it's caller. > We shouldn't have the (Facebook, or any other) password box in the settings > dialog, I think. Hmm... I agree this is surprising, especially for Facebook/Gtalk. But for IRC (where the password is optional) we will never prompt for a password if there isn't one, so having it in the settings sounds right in that case. If you want us to add a check to show the password box only for accounts that support a password but don't require it (so will never prompt), I think that's possible. > I tried to add a new Twitter account from the Instant Messaging Status > dialog, and it never showed the OAuth window.

I recently moved to between the "Write" and the "Address book" button, as "Chat" seemed related to "Write" to me, as they are both about sending messages, a opposed to "Address book" which is more about consulting or editing locally stored data. Of course if you use the address book as the place to start writing your emails because you open the address book, select your contact, and then click the "Write" button of the address book toolbar, this point is moot. If you really want it after the address book, I can change it; and will also need to change the toolbar migration code.

Comment on attachment 604802 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v9 Review of attachment 604802 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- There are several occurrences (at least 10 of them) of synchronous SQL being performed in your code, including statements that write to the database. The Tag service and the Contacts object seem to be designed to work in a synchronous fashion. While I understand that it may be painful to rewrite your code to work in an asynchronous fashion, I do think that such cleanups must be performed before landing. With a lot of database activity occurring in Thunderbird already, esp. with Gloda doing its indexing and whatnot, if your synchronous statement happens to trigger an fsync() of the underlying filesystem, and if I'm not mistaken, the UI is liable to lock up for several minutes in the worst case. I don't think we want to have that happening in Thunderbird. I mentioned this several times already; I understand my comments may not have much value, since I do not have the "performance expert" hat :). Taras, Yoric, could you please chime in and tell us if it's okay landing code that performs synchronous IO? I may be exaggerating the situation, so I'd be happy if you could share your thoughts on performing synchronous calls to mozStorage on the main thread :). ::: chat/components/src/imContacts.js @@ +136,5 @@ > + return tag; > + > + let statement = DBConn.createStatement("INSERT INTO tags (name, position) VALUES(:name, 0)"); > + statement.params.name = aName; > + statement.executeStep(); This is a synchronous SQL statement. If you're ok with freezing the main UI for potentially long periods of time (I think the order of magnitude in the worst case is several minutes), that's fine. Otherwise, you must switch to asynchronous IO.

(In reply to Jonathan Protzenko [:protz] from comment #88) > I mentioned this several times already; I understand my comments may not > have much value, since I do not have the "performance expert" hat :). For what is worth, I haven't ignored your comments. I've been asked to do whatever I could to present a patch that would be ready to land before the next aurora merge (tomorrow), so the top priority has been to finish ASAP the UI parts that require localizable strings; and it was my understanding that investigating potential performance issues and rewriting (hopefully small) parts of the code to be asynchronous could land on aurora (although that's obviously not ideal). Also, if that makes you feel better, I added an about:config preference to completely turn off the Chat feature, so that we can still change our mind in a few weeks if we discovered a serious issues that can't reasonably be fixed on aurora and that we aren't comfortable shipping with.

Corrected odd image-regions on OSX.

In Instantbird a contact (representing a person you can contact) can be composed of several buddies (for example one linked to your AIM account, one linked to your facebook account, etc...). Deleting a contact deletes the buddies for all accounts, so it would be good in this dialog to show that the contact will be removed from the contact list of all these accounts. Thunderbird shares the same back-end so it's technically possible that a contact has several buddy, but there's currently absolutely no UI to group contacts, so this situation is not actually possible right now. > @@ +228,5 @@ > > + } > > + > > + let status = target.getAttribute("status"); > > + if (!status) > > + return; // is this really possible? > > What's this comment all about?

Right, but we can pop up a password prompt to set the password… In the case of IRC, wouldn't we get back an error message from NickServ (or its equivalent), if we don't have a password, but need one? > > > If you want us to add a check to show the password box only for accounts > > > that support a password but don't require it (so will never prompt), I think > > > that's possible. That might be better, although I still think having a password box in the settings isn't a good idea, for security reasons. What do you think about a "Set Password" button which popped up the standard password prompt instead? Thanks, Blake.

There is no standardized way to interact with NickServ across different networks (and there aren't any RFCs for "IRC Services", etc. that I'm aware of). It's not actually part of the protocol, they're just bots running as part of the server. Also many networks have different names for their NickServ (and there are different sets of Services for these NickServs!) Additionally, if you can parse that information...the NickServ still lets you on the network but will then forcefully change your nick if you wait too long to identify (at least that's the "standard" set up most people use...), the user would then type in their password, we'd try to auth to the NickServ and it would tell us that our nick isn't registered...I think this would be extremely confusing to the user. Note that right now we don't really interact with the NickServ at all, we abuse the PASS command that FreeNode and moznet support (and pass on to the NickServ). Essentially, it isn't really a viable solution for IRC to not have the password before connection.

Florian mentioned we also use these icons in the Tools menu.

Recently, several networks (primarily Freenode) and IRC daemons have started using SASL authentication as specified in the Charybdis ircd documentation: <http://git.atheme.org/charybdis/tree/doc/sasl.txt> This is the preferred method on networks which support it, and returns proper "authentication successful"/"failed" numerics; however, it is only usable during the "registration" stage, not after joining IRC. Several other "CAP"abilities are documented in: <http://git.atheme.org/charybdis/tree/doc/>

But this is a different situation and not supported everywhere (also not implemented yet :-D). But I don't want to gum up this bug with off topic information. Email me (or catch me on IRC) if you want to talk about this more.

Also took care of the typo #button-join-chat[disabled] to #button-add-chat[disabled] Richard pointed out on IRC.

Okay, so there was a bunch of stuff there, but none of it is string-changing, so I think I'm good with landing it, and fixing the things in a future patch. (The biggest thing I'm concerned about at this point is the gloda stuff, but I believe you can use the normal gloda strings, and so the fix for that won't involve new strings.) So, r=me for checkin. Thanks, Blake.

I filed bug 735718 to track and fix the synchronous I/O issue, bug 735721 to track Blake's review comments (comment 105) and bug 735723 to handle Mark's build-system review comments (comment 87).

Why the lastest nightly build of Thunderbird doesn't support other XMPP servers than Google or FaceBook? I use the Fritalk XMPP server, (fritalk.com & fritalk.org) and want to use it with Thunderbird. Please, think about that! NOT EVERYONE IS USING GMAIL OR FACEBOOK!

The feature page on the wiki indicates that status is "feedback wanted". Should we post them here? Anyway, I do agree with Vivian, I was glad to be able to use it with my personal XMPP server but presently I'm stuck. Two other things lack for me : a panel based overview of the chat and notifications when someone talk to you. The last important point but not really essential, is a more clear integration into account preferences. Anyway, bravo Florian! Tb avance dans le bon sens :) .

While this notifies the user of a new message by adding "(1)" to the chat tab bar, we need to add the options to turn the minimized Window orange on new chat and show alert preview messages like with emails.

Really, just the same notification options as instantbird.

I created a bug for better notifications, but I'm just never sure who sees it: #787455

It is critical for this feature to actually be useful / be chosen over dedicated chat clients for it to have better notifications. Anyone?

This was the original bug for integration, please file other bugs in the Instant Messaging (I see you filed bug 787455) for other issues.

Perhaps I am not seeing it, but after connecting to an XMPP chat server and joining a chat room, when first set up you can select to 'Auto-join this Chat Room' however I'm not able to find any way to disable auto-joining for specific chat rooms. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Click on "Show accounts" and then "Properties" for that XMPP account. The list of auto-joined rooms can be changed there. Note for the future: Please don't add comments to old bugs that have been resolved - instead, just file a new bug.
