58231 - [Mac] salt needed in just one more place.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56002

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[racham]

Seth,

If the user deletes a parent profile folder, Mac does the resolution of that
situation much before other platforms (see bugs 56041 and 57361) and it creates
a directory so that all persistent operations get resolved properly. That
directory is empty to start with and it will filled, if the user chooses to run
the app with that profile. So, those situations take route of
PopulateIfEmptyDir() routine. If we identify a dir not having contents at that
time, we just copy all default contents there. So, we need the fix you did at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/profile/src/nsProfile.cpp#886 through
#889 at http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/profile/src/nsProfile.cpp#2294.

Sorry to bring up this late. I was doing more testing and came across this one.

Shouldn't this just be part of 56002?  It's not checked in on the branch yet.

I agree. May be there isno need for another bug here as we are just talking 
about a case that's missed in bug 56602. Also, I think it's much easier even for 
PDT to have all these issue a under one bug (infact it a single issue and that 
is 'salting'). OK.. I moving the description for this case into bug 56002 and 
close this a dup of that.

Seth, I'm working on the profile code right now - fixing the fallout from 56002.
I have your salting code in place and the case Bhuvan mentions will be taken
care of. It probably already is.

Whoops, sorry. Not fallout from 56002 - I meant 56041.

actually, this only affects the trunk.  this additional place is on new code
that isn't on the branch.

but we need the fix this on the trunk.
