924578 - Inline Workers not working on Device

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Tim Caswell]

Attachment: moz-app.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.8 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Create a simple app that creates an inline web worker using code from a string.
I then attach a listener to the worker's message output and start the worker.

Actual results:

Nothing happens when testing on a real device (Keon running v1.1)  When running in the simulator it works correctly.  Also for reference, Chrome Apps also permit this usage of web workers.

I assume there is some kind of CSP related error, but I can't see it anywhere.




Expected results:

The real device should have worked like the simulator and output a message to the screen.

This sounds like a Simulator bug. Myk, where should this go?

Are you not supposed to be able to use inline workers in privileged apps?  If you are, then the bug isn't in the simulator, but the actual device image.

Having this feature enables a whole class of extensible apps.  This is why I'm exploring it.
