1011450 - nsIAlertsService.showAlertNotification observer leak on Mac

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Alerts Service, defect)

Description

[Artem Krylysov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/34.0.1847.137 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I use nsIAlertsService in bootstrapped extension.

var alertService = Cc['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1'].getService(Ci.nsIAlertsService);
var clickObserver = {
    observe: function notificationClickObserved(subject, topic, data) {
        if (topic === 'alertclickcallback') {
    
        }
    }
};
alertService.showAlertNotification(icon, title, text, true, 0, clickObserver);


Actual results:

This code causes object leaks and as a result the extension is not completely unloaded on uninstall/disable. It happens only on Mac OS X (my version is 10.9.3).

Is the alert shown? Does it continue to leak even after the alert is dismissed?

Bulk move to Toolkit::Notifications and Alerts

Filter on notifications-and-alerts-component.

I have not seen the leak by running the code in comment 0. I can take a look again if there are alternate steps that I can use to reproduce the leak.
