Instrumentation to measure checks/suggestions shown within VisualEditor broken on mobile
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Expected

VEFU instrumentation includes two actions, suggestion-shown-midedit and check-shown-midedit, which describe the event where the check/suggestion is available; that is, the check/suggestion card shows up in the sidebar, regardless of whether or not it's expanded. On mobile specifically, this means that an icon showing up in the gutter[i] should cause any checks contained within that icon's section to be tracked as shown.

Observed

On mobile, shown events are only being tracked when the check's card is expanded.

Requirements
  • Update instrumentation to measure mobile shown events according to the expected behavior above.
  • Update the check-shown-midedit and suggestion-shown-midedit definitions in the VisualEditorFeatureUse data dictionary to clarify the shown criteria on mobile.

i. Mobile UI, where the gutter icon denotes a group of two checks that apply to this range.
