This is high priority due to the importance of automating the Email app tests. When Marionette clicks 'Delete' to confirm the deletion of the Email account the confirmation box clears but the account is not deleted. Tapping manually is successful.

11:29 zac: I forgot to mention you need to setup an account manually

currently checking in bug 848727 if could be the cause

no that wasnt the issue but after a closer look I think its related to bug 779284

https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/email/index.html#L1070 shows it as a confirm.

so this looks more like a dupe. I changed the dupe ID, as in 779284, locally to account-delete-ok-real and when query elements in the confirm, marionette things they are of size 0 and live in 0x, 0y so marionette doesnt understand them. Below is the html I was I trying to work with. <form data-type="confirm" class="tng-account-delete-confirm" role="dialog">\n <section>\n <h1 data-l10n-id="confirm-dialog-title">Confirmation</h1>\n <p>Are you sure you want to delete your tynecastle@gmail.com mail account? You will have to re-download your mail if you re-create the account.</p>\n </section>\n <menu>\n <button data-l10n-id="message-multiedit-cancel" id="account-delete-cancel-real">Cancel</button>\n <button data-l10n-id="settings-account-delete-confirm" class="danger" id="account-delete-ok-real">Delete</button>\n </menu>\n </form></body></html>

I no long think bug 779284 is related

read https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/mozilla.dev.gaia/Should$20we$20be$20using$20or$20avoiding$20window.confirm%28%29$2Falert$2Fprompt$2Fmodal$20dialogs?/mozilla.dev.gaia/k7bqiQlLRvw/gJinPepAdxcJ

From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779284#c14 Are you setting explicitOriginalTarget? We depend on that in ConfirmDialog in mail-common.js

This is an older bug, using self.marionette.tap, and I can't reproduce this test flow now. Is this still relevant, or can I mark this as resolved?

Going on comment 10, is this still relevant?

Thankyou zac of the 8th of March 2013 for creating the test case, little did you realise it would save you so much time 13 months later. This works fine now.
