DESCRIPTION

This module handles the implementation of the status of a Firefox update using the Marionette protocol

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

accepts a hash as a parameter. Allowed keys are below;

  • app_version - application version of this update.

  • build_id - build id of this update. Used to determine a particular build, down to the hour, minute and second of its creation. This allows the system to differentiate between several nightly builds with the same |version|.

  • channel - channel used to retrieve this update from the Update Service.

  • details_url - URI offering details about the content of this update. This page is intended to summarise the differences between this update and the previous, which also links to the release notes.

  • display_version - string to display in the user interface for the version. If you want a real version number use app_version.

  • elevation_failure - has an elevation failure has been encountered for this update.

  • error_code - numeric error code that conveys additional information about the state of a failed update. If the update is not in the "failed" state the value is zero.

  • install_date - when the update was installed.

  • is_complete_update - is the update a complete replacement of the user's existing installation or a patch representing the difference between the new version and the previous version.

  • name - name of the update, which should look like "<Application Name> <Update Version>"

  • number_of_updates - the number of updates available.

  • patch_count - number of patches supplied by this update.

  • previous_app_version - application version prior to the application being updated.

  • prompt_wait_time - allows overriding the default amount of time in seconds before prompting the user to apply an update. If not specified, the value of app.update.promptWaitTime will be used.

  • selected_patch - currently selected patch for this update.

  • service_url - the Update Service that supplied this update.

  • status_text - message associated with this update, if any.

  • type - either 'minor', 'partial', which means a binary difference between two application versions or 'complete' which is a complete patch containing all of the replacement files to update to the new version

  • unsupported - is the update no longer supported on this system.

  • update_state - state of the selected patch;

    + downloading - the update is being downloaded.
    + pending - the update is ready to be applied.
    + pending-service - the update is ready to be applied with the service.
    + pending-elevate - the update is ready to be applied but requires elevation.
    + applying - the update is being applied.
    + applied - the update is ready to be switched to.
    + applied-os - the update is OS update and to be installed.
    + applied-service - the update is ready to be switched to with the service.
    + succeeded - the update was successfully applied.
    + download-failed - the update failed to be downloaded.
    + failed - the update failed to be applied.

  • update_status_code - a code describing the state of the patch.
