Yep, I have to send two summaries. That's my reward for not sending last
Thursday's on time.
*Theme: Mid train-81*
*Action items from last time*
- NOT DONE - stomlinson to move Send SMS feature doc to github.
- DONE vlad collect data for () => {} #democracy
- DONE - stomlinson to re-enable fxa-auth-mailer in fxa-ci
- DONE (eoger on it before I pinged) - stomlinson to ping eoger about
4709
*UX/PM*
- In some last minute testing of the new firstrun page A/B test, an
integration issue was discovered that made the UX less than awesome. The
new firstrun flows being tested [1][2] contain a "Skip this step" button
that allows users to easily skip signing up/in to FxA. The problem is the
button never went away, even if the user submit the FxA form. The firstrun
team asked us for help, by sending them notifications whenever the FxA
form's validation state changes and after a user submits the form. This was
a high priority fix because the funnelcake test started on Sunday. The FxA
fix [3] was released as train-79.4 on Monday. Thanks for a 2nd quick
release in a week jrgm.
- Ryan Feeley has started on the "Get the Sync party started" feature
doc. The idea is once a user has connected their 2nd device, we should
educate them of the most important ways their life can be made simpler with
Sync. I need to get a link for this.
- Integration with PageShot is on the horizon. PageShot ships with Fx 54
as an addon, and within a couple of revs would like to integrate with FxA
so that a user can view their PageShots on multiple devices. This may be
the driver to prototype the web extension auth API.
- Ryan Feeley asked if train-79 released "Connect Another Device" to
more people since the train was supposed to bump the feature release to 25%
of people. I did some digging in DataDog, and yes, we have released to more
people, though DataDog does not show an order of magnitude increase. We
want from a total release of 1.25% of people, all of whom reported metrics,
to 25% of people, only 10% of which report metrics. So the feature is in
front of far more people, but only roughly double show up in DataDog.
Interestingly (or perhaps sadly), Re:dash does not show an expected uptick
in the number of users that are connecting a 2nd device even though our
initial release showed a non-trivial percentage of users clicking on the
app store install links. More investigation is needed.
- Thanks to Vijay, the content server now has the one true
"signin.success" metric. This metric is emit whenever a user successfully
signs in, or completes a signin verification. Vijay updated a bunch of
DataDog graphs that had to sum two distinct values that now only require
one.
*Ops/General Dev*
- The firstrun patch [3] was against train-79. When that merges, we'll
need to reverse merge train-79 to train-80, then train-80 to master.
- The fat arrow discussion continues. There was a lot of pushback
against choosing one of the choices, jrgm found a third option - require
parenthesis except for one-liners. There may be consensus forming.
- A couple of meetings ago jbuck reported that node-sass occasionally
blew up Circle-CI tests with a "stack level too deep" error. Unfortunately,
this still occurs when using cached resources.
- We have a couple of new flaky functional tests that we need to track
the cause of:
- confirm - sign up with a restmail address, get the open restmail
button
- sign in with incorrect email case before normalization fix, on
second attempt canonical form is used
- And finally, e10s is enabled in the functional tests, which shaves
~ 1 minute off of a test run. Thanks Vlad!
*Action items*
- stomlinson to ask jrgm & jbuck what content-experiments is being used.
- rfeeley to add a feature card to "fxa-features"
- vlad to do merge from 79-80 w/ firstrun fix.
