I'm using this code: var p = new Prompt({ title: "Enter your username and password", buttons: ["Add", "Remove"] }); var items = [{label: "FOO"}]; p = p.setMultiChoiceItems(items); p.show(function(data) { Services.prompt.alert(null, "", JSON.stringify(data)); }); Whether I click on Add or Remove, the data has "button": [false] If I remove the setMultiChoiceItems, I get the correct data for the button.
So it looks like the button array is reused for the multichoice as well as the dialog buttons. This means you can't have a prompt that allows you to check a couple items and then do something with those items. That's the core bug here. There should be a separate array for the multichoice items.

Assignee: nobody → jdover
To support being able to detect which button was pressed in addition to which items were selected in the case of setMultiChoiceItems, I added a "selected" attribute to the callback argument that will present only on prompts that have multi choice items: var p = new Prompt({ title: "Enter your username and password", buttons: ["Add", "Remove"] }); p = p.setMultiChoiceItems([{label: "FOO"}, {label: "BAR"}]); // User selects "FOO" option and taps "Add" button p.show(function(data) { // data would be: { "guid":"XXX", "selected": [true, false], "button": 0 } }); This does not change behavior for setSingleChoiceItems which continues to assume that you will NOT have both a list of items AND buttons: var p = new Prompt({ title: "Enter your username and password" }); p = p.setSingleChoiceItems([{label: "FOO"}, {label: "BAR"}]); // User taps "FOO" p.show(function(data) { // data would be: { "guid":"XXX", "button": 0 } });

Comment on attachment 8357516 [details] [diff] [review] Add selected attribute for prompts with multichoice. This looks like a good idea to me. Although my gut says we should add the same thing to singlechoiceitem as well (we can leave the button there as well for backwards compatibility. There should be some consistency between the two.

Good thinking, I actually now think it would better to instead of "selected" being an array of all the true/false values for each list item, to it being an array of indexes of the selected items: { "selected": [true, false, true] } ---> { "selected": [0,2] }
I'd be fine with that. Most of our other "input" types actually use the input name (or an id) to refer to their value) i.e. if you add a textbox you'll get: { textbox0: "Value" } if you add a textbox with an id (prompt.addTextbox({id: "foo"}); that will be used: { foo: "Value" } Also, you'll have to update our select element helper to handle the new api: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/chrome/content/SelectHelper.js In that case, we care not just about what was selected, but also what as unselected, which is why we have the huge boolean array going on (but your API could still work with that pretty easily). I don't think we have enough consumers of these that I'm super worried about backwards compatibity, but we should advertise the change anyway, so that add-on authors know.

I think you'd be better to just wait for the > text "Item 2". Then click it. I don't think it's clear from the code what this waits for. It isn't waiting for the select to popup, it blocks the current test thread after the run() block is executed, waiting for the title to change, so: 1. Click on new select choice 2. Wait for the title to change 3. Continue test (assert) In that case, I don't think any other tests could happen before this completes, and the run() can't happen after the assert. I'm not defending that this is the best way, but until we can communicate bewteen JS and Java in the same test (that way we could do things like invoke the click with JS, make callback for a change event, etc.), I don't know how else to do this.
Comment on attachment 8363362 [details] [diff] [review] 953272.diff Review of attachment 8363362 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Definitely in the right direction: it's a really good first effort at adding tests (and congratulations, you're the first besides myself to do so ^_^)! I think we need to identify which Robotium methods work and which do not - this would be good to document for future travelers (maybe at [1]?) - and use that to clarify what this FormHelper API should be (and whether it should be a Click/WebContentHelper instead!).

Isn't the problem that we don't have the possibility to use "id" for buttons? Afaics every other kind of element can have an id except buttons. It would be a nice way to structure results when various dialog elements are combined. The next little problem is that for *choiceItems the ids are defined for the single elements - it would have been nice to have an id for the whole list.
Leaving open for 5 years, I think it is time to close it.
