Bug ID: 464612
Summary: Discover creates repeated notifications of ongoing
tasks when you open and close its window
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 5.26.5
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eduardosare...@gmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Discover creates many repeated notifications of "installing updates" with the
progress bar when you open and close its window repeatedly. A recent KDE update
made Discover able to be closed while installing updates or apps, and a pending
notification will appear with the current status. If a user closes the window
while it has some ongoing action a notification will be shown with the current
progress. However, if the user decides to "go check the progress" in Discover
itself, or go do anything else that he reopens Discover window, and then closes
it again, a new additional ongoing will be created, even though there was
already one. You can spam this and create as many ongoing notifications you
like. When Discover finishes its work, all these repeated notifications, as
many as there are, will all spam you desktop again telling you they finished
their work. The Discover icon in the taskbar also shows the number of
notifications, that keeps increasing too as new notifications are created.
Basically everything works as expected, except that Discover shouldn't create a
new "installing stuff" notification if there was already one.
Added an attachment that tries to show exactly what happens after I closed and
opened Discover window many times (3 times, in the case of the attachment)
while a long update was installing.
(confused about if this bug report should go into "discover" component or
"notifier").
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make Discover do some work that takes some time: install many updates, or
many apps in a row.
2. Close Discover window, an ongoing notification will be created, as expected.
3. Open Discover window again while it hasn't finished its work, and then close
it again.
4. Another additional notification will be created, not removing the old one.
5. Repeat this as many times as you want, you will created dozen of them.
6. All of this ongoing notifications will spam your desktop with "finished"
when Discover completes its tasks.
OBSERVED RESULT
Repeated similar ongoing notifications.
EXPECTED RESULT
Discover should maybe check if there is already an ongoing notification similar
to what it is trying to create, and not create a new one. Or remove the old one
and create a new one.
