1063682 - Certified app use of mozTCPSocket fails on nightly desktop

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

1) make DEBUG=1

2) Open that profile in a Nightly desktop firefox:

/path/to/nightly/firefox -profile /path/to/gaia/profile-debug http://email.gaiamobile.org:8080/

3) Set up an account. When the email tries to do a socket.open, this error appears:

ERR: onerror reporting: NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS: [JavaScript Error: "TCPSocket does not have permission in this context.
" {file: "file:///builds/slave/m-cen-osx64-ntly-0000000000000/build/obj-firefox/x86_64/dist/FirefoxNightly.app/Contents/MacOS/components/TCPSocket.js" line: 516}]'[JavaScript Error: "TCPSocket does not have permission in this context.

It seems like the permissions are not quite aligning now for certified app use on desktop. In about:config dom.mozTCPSocket.enabled is true.

This was working on Aurora, last week Aurora, 33.0a2 (2014-08-29). However the nightly for that time period did not, and now Aurora does not work either, with the same error.

I use this setup frequently for doing small CSS tweaks, and has been working fine for a while, just seemed to start to fail last week.

This seems to work now with nightly 35.0a1 (2014-09-11) so closing.
