What should the desired result be?  Should the default english keyboard reactivate itself?

I can imagine another scenario to get here too which would be enabling only a custom keyboard app, then uninstalling it leading to no selected input methods being available.
Hi,

Thanks for the comment.
Yes, the default English keyboard will reactivate itself if user unselects the all keyboard layout.
Attaching the user scenario. FYI.

By the way, user cannot uninstall the built-in keyboard.
Thanks!
Attached image Unselect all keyboards
Is the "default keyboard language" baked into the settings somewhere, could we have it use Polish in Polish areas for instance?

Also, this should make sure it can cover the scenario where you only have custom keyboards selected and then you uninstall that application.  The system/keyboard_manager should know to re-activate the "default language" keyboard (which could be english by default, but if we set a default at build time it might be best to use the default)

Summary: [Keyboard][V1.2] Only selecting the number keyboard cause the text keyboard cannot display → [Keyboard][V1.2] Default Keyboard when all keyboards are de-selected
Corey,

In 1.1, the default keyboard is based on the default locale. There is code in apps/communcations/ftu that sets the default keyboard somehow when the user selects a language.  And I think there is code in apps/settings that ensures that an appropriate keyboard is enabled when the user selects a new language.

So you'll want to see if there are parts of that code that you can salvage in this new world of multiple keyboard apps.
Corey,

Any updates here?
Flags: needinfo?(gnarf37)
Yeah, sorry, lost a week dealing with getting the ZTE open working properly for debugging for our team.

I've been working on refactoring KeyboardHelper to be better for the tasks it helps with such that this problem can be solved in system, settings, and ftu apps.

Not ready for review yet, just hoping for some feedback on the refactoring already done.

So, most of the code has been put in place here to be able to enable default keyboards if they somehow all become unselected (deals with the removal of a keyboard app causing this).  At this point, Inside the settings app, I'm leaning much more towards disabling the the checkbox on a keyboard that is the last of its type (i.e. can't disable the last number keyboard, or the last text keyboard) in the settings app rather than displaying any new dialog.  Is this an acceptable solution, or must we implement this dialog alert as shown in the attachment?

Hi, Corey,

Thanks for your help!
Could you please follow UX specification?
Reasons are as below.
1. User may feel confuse without alarm dialog pop up.
2. Stakeholders and QAnalysist follow the specification to review this feature.
3. If we want to change the specification, we need UX to review it.

Many thanks! :)
Flags: needinfo?(whsu)
I like Corey's proposition a lot more. Preventing the user to get in a bad situation is better than informing the user that he/she is in a bad situation.

Could we get UX opinion on this?
Who from UX do we need to needsinfo?

Flags: needinfo?(cawang)
We'd suggest to keep the original design in this version. 
The solution in comment 11 is quite neat, but the one in spec can provide more information to users.
Hence, if we want to provide a new approach, I'd suggest to postpone it to next version and we can consider it more comprehensively at that time. Thanks!

I don't understand the logic here. If it's a neat solution, why postpone it? It's easier to implement. Less UI to create, less strings to translate. And again, "giving information to the user" is good but not as interesting as "preventing the user to do something stupid".
Whether something is stupid or not really depends. The original solution enables users to do what they want to do. For example if users just want to disable a layout that is happened to be the last one, they don't need to enable another layout before doing that. And with a long installed layout list, users may have difficulty in understanding why they cannot disable a layout.
Another open question for someone... Should changing language in the settings app change the default keyboards also?
I don't think so because it's not always clear. F.e. when setting Serbian locale, which keyboard should be loaded? Serbian Cyrillic or Latin?
I am removing the ni? to UX because Carrie, from our team, advised a solution in comment #18. There are a lot of keyboard changes coming for both 1.3 and 1.4, so anything beyond the existing spec can be evaluated as part of those releases, given how late in the game it is for 1.2.

Broke gaia-ui-test, "test_everythingme_launch_packaged_app.py test_everythingme_launch_packaged_app.TestEverythingMeSearchPanel.test_launch_packaged_app_from_search_panel | NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: button.keyboard-key[data-keycode="97"]", https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=29681010&tree=B2g-Inbound.

b2g-inbound is closed.
That test didn't fail on the travis build before or after squash - I'm not sure that one is my fault.
Travis isn't a perfect guide to what'll happen in releng's automation, since from the way I understand it, travis runs all the tests in one lump, letting things leak from one test to another, while releng's automation doesn't leak them. I might have been wrong since I missed noticing that the push before yours didn't actually run gaia-ui-test, but I retriggered it, and https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=B2g-Inbound&fromchange=b6084fd98880&tochange=3067fa69485b&jobname=gaia-ui-test certainly seems to be pointing at this.
I attempted to revert this so we could get b-i reopened, but I couldn't do so cleanly. This is going to require attention from someone with more git knowledge than me.

I don't think the patch here is at fault here either. The dedicated test for keyboard test_keyboard.py runs fine everywhere.

Hm Bug 928046 landed on Wed Oct 22 https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=B2g-Inbound&rev=4697a6556365 and the GU Test where fine according to TBPL Results. And the Test failure happened first Friday at around noon for the tests for this bug here it seems.

ISTR an email going around recently about not being afraid to backout if there are test failures and *then* investigate. What's the big deal about backing this out when TBPL is clearly pointing to it as the culprit? You have 3 sheriffs who do this for a living telling you that now.

Right. Thanks for the clarification.
I'm pretty sure whats happening is that e.me's test is booting up so fast that the keyboard has created a frame but hasn't actually loaded the keyboard app.  It might take me until tuesday to actually try and solve this integration test failure.  I'll see if I can get the revert to work

Thank you for reverting this.

However, I'm slightly frustrated that b2g-inbound was closed for 2.5 days because of test failures in the days leading up to uplift. This really isn't fair on all the other B2G developers and will have significantly hampered our ability to smoketest recent b2g-inbound changes on mozilla-central over the weekend, which is pretty harmful right before uplift.

The first reaction should be to revert changes to green the tree up, and worry about fixing the patch later. Ordinarily sheriffs would make the revert immediately as a matter of course (for gecko landings), but I'm presuming in this instance there were conflicts or else ambiguity as to which changeset needed backing out, given gaia repo landings are slightly less easily sheriffed.

Yes, we now have to land/backout bug 928281 together with this bug.

The fact that Gaia has not try server available means we now have to make educated guesses and land the patch again later. Not sure how many times it would take...

Hey Tim,

so just wondering

the merge pull request
https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/b2g-inbound/rev/366cb465a555
turned into green gaia ui tests:
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=B2g-Inbound&rev=366cb465a555

the revert after 
https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/b2g-inbound/rev/8a6d13df4e44
turned into failed/busted tests
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=B2g-Inbound&rev=8a6d13df4e44

was this expected ?

grr ignore the github link here, was a copy & paste error
Finally I can reproduce this issue with:
  -  Run Gaia-ui-tests again b2g-desktop (Gecko 27)
  -  On my Macbook air

Failed Case
===========
It seems that in this case, the keyboard app itself would not correctly invoke "inputMethod.activate()" in its showKeyboard(), and it affected the switching of uppercase status.
This case would need to input "Calendar" into the search bar and it would enter "Caps-Locked" mode after inputting "C", so it failed to input "a". (The log said failed to find data-keycode="97", i.e. ASCII code of "a".)
It entered "Capslocked" mode because the test automation pressed "Caps" key for the first time for capitalized "C" and then pressed it again for lowercase "a".

Success Case
=============
If the latin inputMethod would have been inited correctly, it would change back to lowercase mode automatically after inputing "C", so it is fine to input "a" directly.

Why inputMethod.activate() would not be invoked is still under investigation.
Note: The keyboard app was not touched in the original patch.
b2g inbound closed again; now 3 days since this first broke :-(
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/13149 seems to fix this test every time - I still want to know what the hell is exposing this timing problem, but merging this "fix" in to the gaia-ui-test would allow us to not have a broken tree while we hunt it down.

This looks like a timing issue... To debug this we would need a try solution which we don't have for gaia-ui-tests (since the source is gaia) and it does not reproduce locally easily OR on other CI solutions which let us "pre-test" the change.. Its time to xfail this and move on. We need an owner to un-xfail the test and figure out whats going on (looks like Rudy is on track to fixing this) BUT we also need this patch landed to continue work for 1.2.

Assuming we manually tested this post landing and the keyboard is still working we should xfail and wait for the longer term fix.
