[Messaging] No contacts shown in dialer or messaging apps

[Brendan Donegan]

Prerequisite: A contact must have been created in the contacts database

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open messaging app
2. Select 'Compose' from bottom bar
3. Click the Add Contact icon
4. Choose the contact from the list

Expected result:

4. There is a contact to select from the list

Actual result:

4. There are no contacts listed

this was caused by recent upload of QtPim. Fix for address-book-app which provides the contacts component has been submitted into the silo

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

@Bill, @Renato - is there a link to the branch which fixes this?

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

I think a simple unit test could be created for this - although a high level functional test will be even better.

So, there is no longer a 'compose' button. It's a "new chat" pull-up from the bottom instead.

In the "new chat" interface, there does not appear to be any way to add a contact. So, still not fixed (or broken again).

However, after sending a message, the user can load the chat history for that phone number and there is an icon in the upper right with a person and a plus sign. This seems like it should add a contact, but it appears to do nothing.

This was on image Utopic 140.
