The MMS lost story

mardy

Hi Jezek,

Ok, I admit defeat in the telephony-service testing battle. I've written some code, to test the redownload function, but I couldn't make the tests run. The crossbuilder don't run test.

as a matter of fact, crossbuilder always runs the tests when not cross-building. In other words, if the target architecture is the same as the host architecture, tests will be run. I tried now with telephony-service in my PC and tests are run (and pass), in the xenial branch.

Just run

crossbuilder --architecture=amd64

on your branch and you should see the tests being executed.

@mardy Thank you, will try. One defeat doesn't mean, I (we) can't win at the end.

Hi, as @UniSuperBox said on last Q&A , the feature is ready for testing:

You need to be on devel or RC ( since 2021/06/09 )
From a terminal, run that commands one by one:

sudo ubports-qa install PR_nuntium_8
sudo ubports-qa install telepathy-ofono 20
sudo ubports-qa install history-service 35
sudo ubports-qa install telephony-service 20
sudo ubports-qa install messaging-app 260

And reboot

Test Plan example:
Make sure it works as before, send/receive MMS, multiple ones
Disable cellular-data, receive a MMS and check if MMS notification is here with the download button
Change proxy settings in APN or put wrong settings and check for notification reception

@lduboeuf Technically, there is nothing to prevent from doing it on the most recent RC if you don't want to switch (again) to dev ?

lduboeuf

@domubpkm it should be good on RC too. Last builds are from one week or two.

Did some test this morning, i have a use case where the message is staying in the "pending state" ( so we can't click redownload button anymore ) even after reboot. It is with bad signal and by putting wrong info in MMS settings
In history db the message is x-ubports-nuntium-mms-error-activate-context but the status is still in Pending state

nunitum logs:
2021/06/11 09:15:26 Trying to set Active property to true for context on true /ril_0/context2
2021/06/11 09:15:26 Cannot set Activate to true (try 1/3) interface on /ril_0/context2: org.ofono.Error.NotAttached: GPRS is not attached
2021/06/11 09:15:32 Failed to activate for /ril_0/context2 : failed to activate context
2021/06/11 09:15:32 Cannot activate ofono context: no context available to activate

@lduboeuf It seems you found a bug. You should fill an issue. I have some idea, where the problem is and I will elaborate under the issue. This is a veeery long thread and I don't want to make it any longer. We should close it.

Is the bug a big bug? Can we deploy to stable with this bug, or we need to fix it before deploying? Because there is a bigger issue here. I don't have time now to do any work on ubuntu touch due to personal and technical issues. And it will not change (at least) this month.

lduboeuf

@jezek I don't think that issue is a blocker as it may come in rare situations and moreover will end with the same situation than it is today ( just ask user to send it again). I wll look if i can work around that on messaging app.

Yes agree for this thread becoming too long. I would add it in a nuntium PR instead of an issue since it is not merge yet.

Hope you will recover soon :). Btw i bet this will not land on OTA-18. Not enough feedback from users and big code base

[Edit]: not possible to work around it on messaging-app

Not sure if this is still needed, but latest ubports email said to test.

Fixes MMS perfectly on Nexus 6P

It does not solve the mms problem for me. I still get the oops message with Download. I have tried all the suggestions too and nothing works. I am on N6P Devel.

Rondarius

I tried another operator and MMS works, both send and receive MMS. I will contact my operator to see if there is a solution to this.

As @jezek and @lduboeuf suggested this thread is very long and far to hard to follow. So I will lock it. A fix has been posted so please as asked try it and report issues in the normal way and let's see how it goes.
