418317 - Components is not defined in calendar-invitations-manager.js

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Internal Components, defect)

Description

[Martin Schröder [:mschroeder]]

I can't provide STR for the error message:
Error: Components is not defined
Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-invitations-manager.js
Line: 472

Relevant code in calendar-invitations-manager.js:
getStartDate: function IM_getStartDate() {
    var date = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/calendar/datetime;1"]
                         .createInstance(Components.interfaces.calIDateTime);

I found a similar problem caused by not properly unregistering an observer:

So, maybe there is a problem registering/unregistering an observer while loading/unloading calendar-invitations-dialog.js.

This is usually a result of the window context being gone when the function is called. Maybe the invitations manager does an operation with a callback that is called after the window has closed?

Haven't seen this error in a while. Resolving as WORKSFORME.
