Description

The shortest path to providing an option to export a conversation transcript to journalists.

Context

This is a direct continuation of #1621, the same context applies.

Implementation

  • Takes the existing export dialog as a reference
  • Follows the existing patterns for testing it

Test plan

  1. Start the app
  2. Select a conversation
  3. For good measure download a file or two
  4. Trigger "Export Conversation Transcript" in the conversation menu (a.k.a source menu, kebab menu...)
  • Confirm that the dialog says it will export conversation.txt
  • Confirm the file is exported as expected
  • Confirm that error messages are shown in the same ways as in the existing export dialog

(I can provide guidance for a lightweight tests like I did for #1621, but since exporting doesn't depend on hard to get hardware, I think we should eventually test the feature using an actual USB drive. Edit: here is the patch.)

@cfm I have a few questions about a failing test that doesn't seem related (but probably is, somehow 🤨), but this PR is ready for a first review. 🙂

(Just linking to the issues that should resolve the bookworm failures: freedomofpress/securedrop-builder#412, #1623; will do initial review while those get sorted)

@rocodes I added the patch to the PR description in case you want to test this without a Workstation / USB drive. ☝️

@rocodes The Bookworm failures are not a blocker for this PR. They're intentionally not required.

Hi @gonzalo-bulnes, thanks for preparing this PR. I have stepped through it and have a quick question before I do a more detailed code review: unlike the ExportDialog from which it inherits, it looks like the ExportTranscriptDialog does not provide user feedback after the USB password prompt. Is this intentional?

For example, entering the wrong password in the password dialog does not show a user-visible error, and entering the correct password successfully exports the conversation transcript and unmounts the drive, but does not inform the user that the action succeeded.

(STR: staging setup, latest .deb from sd-devices built and installed manually; cloned the client repo in sd-app, checked out this branch, and ran it via python -m securedrop_client).

Hi @gonzalo-bulnes, thanks for preparing.

  • Print functionality working well
  • I'll retest the export transcript functionality shortly
  • I've left one comment for discussion about export_service
  • I think additional functional testing might be beneficial here. I'm looking into that based on similar tests (for delete source, from the same Qaction menu, or for exporting a file)

- Enforces the usage of the export.Service instance as a singleton.
- Removes the need to inject it as a dependency through the widget tree.

Test plan

  • Transcript can be exported successfully, confirmation message shown
  • Transcript can be printed successfully
  • Improper export device yields correct error msg
  • Bad device passphrase reprompts for passphrase
  • No/misconfigured printer yields printer error dialog
  • Transcript before files are downloaded shows generic file-counter name (3-source-designator-doc.gz.gpg); transcript after files are downloaded shows decrypted file name (memo.txt)
  • Tests are passing locally and on CI
