@Michi Hmmm, I expected lp to auto-link "comment #7" to the comment in this bug, but that apparently didn't work:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scopes- api/+bug/1502282/comments/7 *If* it's possible for the shell to return "unknown", then yes I think the shell should be initializing the session per the example. That said, as I didn't write the code, and have zero direct experience with QNetworkAccessManager. I was just pointing out that this was suggested as a way to prevent "unknown" from ever being returned. Anyways, it seems like there's not really anything more that I can contribute from a networking stack developer's perspective, so I'll abstain from further comments for now... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1502282 Title: "unknown" connectivity status problematic Status in The Savilerow project: New Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: metadata provides a scope a network connectivity status enum with three possible states: * connected * disconnected * unknown Sometimes unknown is the current state. This is quite problematic because in general a scopes that queries the network (that is, most scopes) need to know whether there is network or is not network and depending on this either make the network queries or display an error message. A status of unknown connectivity leaves the scope with no valid option: * the scope could assume the network is down and provide the user an error message. But often the network is not actually down, so this interrupts the user's flow unnecessarily * the scope could assume the network is up, but this is dangerous if it is not up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/savilerow/+bug/1502282/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
