feat(sltt-app): add multiple private window support #35

Open ericpyle opened 1 month ago

ericpyle commented 1 month ago

This is needed to make it easier to test multiple clients interacting with the same shared storage.

My idea is to have a special startup mode: when the user holds down Control+SHIFT while starting sltt-app it will prompt them to add a new private window that they can name with a unique name/purpose. The next time they control+shift start it will ask them to select existing ones or create a new (named) private window.

Each private window will have its own browser cache (partition).

A full feature probably requires upgrading the compressor to work with multiple clients at the same time (and thus separate temp directory folders).

  1. In a new browser, goto: https://dev.sltt-bible.net/#/
  2. Highlight the URL and drag it to your "Bookmarks bar"
  3. Right click on the new bookmark > Click "Edit" > Change the name to "SLTT" > Click "Save"
  4. Open a new tab > CONFIRM you see the SLTT shortcut.
  5. Hold down "CTRL+SHIFT" and click the SLTT shortcut. Unexpectedly, you are not prompted to add a new private window

Please note the context is sltt-app which is the installed version, not dev.sltt-bible.net :)

  1. Download and Install sltt-app-Setup-206004.3.1.exe.
  2. Hold down "CTRL+SHIFT" and double click the SLTT desktop shortcut.
  3. Enter your email when prompted > Next
  4. Enter your password > Next
  5. Observe a message "Hi Craig and Wendy Langley, sltt-app is requesting access to your sltt tenant."
  6. Click Ⓧ .
  7. CONFIRM that you see a login button. and can enter the same or a different email and password.
  8. Click Login.
  9. CONFIRM that you again observe a message "Hi Craig and Wendy Langley, sltt-app is requesting access to your sltt tenant."
  10. Click the Checkmark in the circle
  11. Confirm that you get a message as follows:

    craigwendy2020@gmail.com: You are not currently a member of any project.

    1) Click the logout button to login again with a different email. 2) Or ask your project administrator to go to the Settings / Members tab and add: (craigwendy2020@gmail.com)

  12. Click the logout button
  13. Try to sign in with your usual email/password > Click "Log In" Unexpectedly, the login dialog says "Wrong email or password"
  14. Sign in elsewhere to CONFIRM you are using the correctemail/ password. Unfortuneately, it won't let you go back to your original login. It seems to have remembered the 2nd email.

Work-around. Uninstall the desktop SLTT-app. Reinstall the desktop SLTT-app. Sign in as your original email address.

However, now

  1. Hold down "CTRL+SHIFT" and double click the SLTT desktop shortcut.
  2. Observea message that the desktoop shortcut is corrupt, do you want to delete it > No.
  3. Hold down "CTRL+SHIFT" and double click the SLTT desktop shortcut. Unexpectedly the sltt-app opens without the new auth0 option.

The scenarios in the PR seemed to work for me. I did make a couple of notes on the general sign-in process in Slack.

In general, using a Google login is a little harder in the app than in the browser:

1) I can't use my password manager, and there's no association with my browser history/settings, so I have to type my email address manually the first time and type my password manually (not sure how often I'll need to enter my password).

2) I can't change to a different Google account once I have logged into one in the app UNLESS I first use the new Alt+W command to open a new window and log in as a different user. Are we planning to make this feature more accessible to users? Maybe an icon or something?? Or would an admin do this once to set up a second user on the computer, and then their account would show up as an option for future app logins?

Users can copy and paste from their password manager, right?

I can't change to a different Google account once I have logged into one in the app

Currently the only user-supported way to do this is to have them uninstall and reinstall the app. If @deafjava would like us in general to provide multiple windows for users via menu, he needs to think about the best UI for this.

FWIW, I have this issue in To Prioritize, that MIGHT allow auth0 to always force google to prompt to select the google account to use to sign in https://github.com/ubsicap/sltt/issues/958
