"update" ping
==================
This opt-out ping is sent from Firefox Desktop when a browser update is ready to be applied. There is a
plan to send this ping after an update is successfully applied and the work will happen in `bug 1380256 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1380256>`_.
Structure:
.. code-block:: js
{
type: "update",
... common ping data
clientId: <UUID>,
environment: { ... },
payload: {
reason: <string>, // "ready"
targetChannel: <string>, // "nightly"
targetVersion: <string>, // "56.01a"
targetBuildId: <string>, // "20080811053724"
}
}
payload.reason
--------------
This field only supports the value ``ready``, meaning that the ping was generated after an update was downloaded
and marked as ready to be processed. For *non-staged* updates this happens as soon as the download
finishes and is verified while for *staged* updates this happens before the staging step is started.
payload.targetChannel
-----------------------
The Firefox channel the update was fetched from (only valid for pings with reason "ready").
payload.targetVersion
-----------------------
The Firefox version the browser is updating to. Follows the same format a application.version (only valid for pings with reason "ready").
payload.targetBuildId
-----------------------
The Firefox build id the browser is updating to. Follows the same format a application.buildId (only valid for pings with reason "ready").
Expected behaviours
-------------------
The following is a list of conditions and expected behaviours for the ``update`` ping:
- **The ping is generated once every time an update is downloaded, after it was verified:**
- *for users who saw the privacy policy*, the ``update`` ping is sent immediately;
- *for users who did not see the privacy policy*, the ``update`` ping is saved to disk and after the policy is displayed.
- **If the download of the update retries or other fallback occur**: the ``update`` ping will not be generated
multiple times, but only one time once the download is complete and verified.
