189950 - Inspector uses @mozilla.org/network/local-file-channel;1

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Other Applications :: DOM Inspector, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

It looks like the "@mozilla.org/network/local-file-channel;1" contractid is no
more and that we should be using nsIIOService... the code involved lives in
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/inspector/resources/content/jsutil/system/file.js

Comment 1

[Darin Fisher]

grr.. missed one!  actually, since asyncOpen is not called, it looks like this
code should just create a file input stream directly instead of going through
the file channel code.

here's the contract-id for a component implementing nsIFileInputStream:

  @mozilla.org/network/file-input-stream;1

sorry for missing this one.  i can bang out a patch once i get some free time.

This patch does fix the error.

Comment 3

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

bz says file.js is unused, and I should instead remove the file from chrome.

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

No, I said that part of file.js is unused.  The rest of it might be used.  I
don't know.

Comment 5

[jag (Peter Annema)]

Even if it's not used now, would this be a good util to beef up and add to our
toolkit?

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Possibly.  You may want to talk to the original authors on mozdev; they have
likely improved it since Hewitt dumped a copy into Inspector.  So starting with
the Inspector version is silly, imo.

Comment 7

[Pete Collins (MDG)]

Yep, it's called jslib.  ;-)

  http://jslib.mozdev.org/

It's a shame there is so much of a disconnect between Mozdev.org and Mozilla.org.

Or should (part of) the mozdev.org file.js be landed instead ??

For example it now reads:
{
const JS_FILE_IOSERVICE_CID    = "@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1";
const JS_FILE_I_STREAM_CID     = "@mozilla.org/scriptableinputstream;1";
const JS_FILE_OUTSTREAM_CID    = "@mozilla.org/network/file-output-stream;1";

const JS_FILE_F_TRANSPORT_SERVICE_CID  =
"@mozilla.org/network/file-transport-service;1";
}

Should the following change be added to ?
{
-const JSFILE_I_FILE_CHANNEL	       = "nsIFileChannel";
+const JSFILE_I_FILE_CHANNEL	       = "nsIFileInputStream";
}

I don't get the reported exception with/without it...

Comment 14

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

An uncaught exception which doesn't interfere in DOM Inspector's actual 
operations is major?  I'm sorry, I don't get that.

What's the av1 bit mean?

That how I rate the JS.C. outputs: warning=minor; error=normal; exception=major...

> What's the av1 bit mean?

That how I identify patches: A/B/C/... for each issue; vN for a patch version...

Has anyone an answer to my comment 13 question ?

alex:
Do you agree to land this/your patch ?

Comment 17

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

I can't land anything, for two reasons.  (1) I don't have CVS access.  (2) My 
primary Internet connection is down.

Would someone else care to do the honors?  caillon, timeless?

'approval1.7=?':
Trivial code fix, no risk;
(Trying v1.7 instead of waiting for v1.8a, as v1.7 will become new
long-lived...)
