Previous flow:

  • '#/open-wallet/ledger' has "Grant access to your Ledger" button
  • it opens '#/open-wallet/connect-device' in permanent popup as well as navigates self-closing popup to '#/open-wallet/ledger/usb' (both stay open)
  • connect-device popup has "Connect Ledger device" button that requests usb permission, selects device, and triggers listing accounts in redux. That is synced into self-closing popup
  • when done in connect-device popup, user tries to continue in self-closing popup, but it closes
  • when reopening, and navigating to import from ledger again, it skips some steps because it still has ledger listed accounts in redux
  • some user actions will clear that store. Then if user navigates to import from ledger again, it will show "Grant access to your Ledger" and popup again

New flow:

  • '#/open-wallet/ledger' has "Grant access to your Ledger" button if it has not been granted permission before
  • it opens '#/open-wallet/connect-device' in permanent popup
  • connect-device popup has "Connect Ledger device" button that requests usb permission, and selects device. This already gives necessary permissions to self-closing popup
  • when done in connect-device popup, user tries to continue in self-closing popup, but it closes
  • when reopening, and navigating to import from ledger again, it shows "USB Ledger" button this time (same every time user comes back with already granted permissions)

(I don't have a test ledger device right now. Please check if some of these notes are incorrect)

Before:
- redux was shared between persistent popup (can request USB permissions) and
  default popup
- persistent popup listed ledger accounts into store
- when reopening default popup listed accounts were kept
- when reopening default popup after clearing listed accounts: all steps repeat

After:
- persistent popup requests permissions
- this gives permissions to default popup too
- when reopening default popup: use new permissions to list accounts from ledger

The Ledger flow is already not ideal, and this change makes it even less user-friendly. I discussed this with @donouwens, and here are some of his suggestions:

In "Grant access to your Ledger" window when user connects a device, nothing happens in popup so it is harder for user to understand what action has been completed.

Can we:

  1. Automatically close the "Device connected" success popup after a set number of seconds? (we assume losing focus will also close the popup), or
  2. Enhance the messaging by adding a brief explanation about what happened once the device is connected?

ah, yeah
Maybe its even possible to prevent the popup1 from closing if we re-focus it before closing persistent popup2 on a timeout
