OpenVPN displays spurious "disconnected" notification when reconnecting |
||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionChrome OS' builtin OpenVPN client has supported automatic reconnections on network changes for a long time, but only recently ( bug 514343 ) has the Chrome UI had a way to properly communicate the reconnection status to the user. Currently the OpenVPN shill service passes through the Idle state (Online->Idle->Associating) which causes Chrome to do the following: - Pop up a notification saying "VPN disconnected" - Do not display the pulsing VPN badge on top of the wireless signal strength indicator - Display "Connecting to <VPN>" instead of "Reconnecting to <VPN>" in the tray menu Change the logic in openvpn_driver.cc to mirror the new logic in third_party_vpn_driver.cc so the user experience is more consistent.

The chrome://settings page does not auto-refresh to reflect to correct connection status Steps to repro: 1) connect to openvpn or any other vpn service. 2) Once connected, Click the dropdown menu and select preferred network. 3) Remove the connected service (in this case openvpn) Expected Result: Chrome://settings and bottom tray should show updated service status. Actual Result: Chrome://settings page does not auto-refresh to show the updated status. Workaround: Manually refreshing the page fixes it. I am guessing this change may have caused a regression, if not I can open a new issue. Tested: Cyan-cheets 8530.5.0. logs@ https://cloud.google.com/console/storage/chromiumos-test-logs/bugfiles/cr/616573/

I think the lack of refresh on the chrome://settings VPN status is a KI, which will be addressed when the Settings page is rewritten? https://code.google.com/p/chrome-os-partner/issues/detail?id=52303

Correct. If the problem persists in chrome://md-settings, we should file a new bug against that UI. Either way we shouldn't re-open a fixed bug for a fairly different symptom.

Just to clarify: this bug is for the tray/notifications associated with OpenVPN reconnections, not the chrome://settings behavior. It is possible that the CL that fixed this issue had unwanted side effects, so it is good that Aashutosh was looking out for possible regressions. I don't even see VPN settings in chrome://md-settings (my build is about 1 week old).

We don't have an "Add Network" section yet when no VPN is configured. If a VPN is configured it should be showing up .
