Description

User story

As an existing Kiwix user, I expect Wikipedia ZIM files that appear in the Wikipedia app's Offline Library to show the same set of info as other files in the Offline Library.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download some Wikipedia ZIM files via Kiwix to your device. See the Kiwix collection at http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages - eg., download "Bollywood" and "Ray Charles"
  2. Open the app to the Offline Library
  3. Tap to view the details screen of a Kiwix-sourced pack (eg., Bollywood)
  4. Tap o the call to action to view the "Main page"

Expected

  • Step 2 - the list screen should show details for the Kiwix-sourced packs that match whatever metadata is available.

  • Step 3 - the details should show details for the Kiwix-sourced packs that match whatever metadata is available.

  • Step 4 - the Main page of that particular pack should be opened.

Actual

  • Step 2 - Incorrect and incomplete details:

    • no thumbnails
    • incorrect date with wrong year format
    • file size showing in GB rather than the expected MB
  • Step 3 - Incorrect and incomplete details:
    • no image
    • incorrect date (which is different to the incorrect date in the list screen in step 2)

  • Step 4- Cannot open to Main page of the pack from the details screen, an error is instead shown.

Whilst the Ray Charles pack's Main page does appear when opening a new article tab, it shows with blank contents under the title:

No longer accepting bug tickets for Offline Library since the feature is currently shelved (T195518) and will likely be very different when brought back.
