1101715 - location after perssing "Not Now" timeout error does not fired

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 675533

(Core :: DOM: Geolocation, defect)

Description

[Alex Art]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141117202603

Steps to reproduce:

var OPTIONS = { maximumAge: 3000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true };
					/**
					 * Use to get GeoLocation
					 * @returns {undefined}
					 */
					var getLoc = function() {
						var deferred = $q.defer();
						if (navigator.geolocation)
							navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(data) {
								console.log(data);
								deferred.resolve(data);
							}, function(error) {
								console.log(error);
								deferred.reject(error);
							}, OPTIONS);
						else {
							console.log("AIIIII");
							deferred.reject({ error: "GPS OFF", gpsOn: false });
						}

getLoc();


Actual results:

Nothing happens.


Expected results:

according to W3C "The getCurrentPosition() method takes one, two or three arguments. When called, it must immediately return and then asynchronously attempt to obtain the current location of the device. If the attempt is successful, the successCallback must be invoked (i.e. the handleEvent operation must be called on the callback object) with a new Position object, reflecting the current location of the device. If the attempt fails, the errorCallback must be invoked with a new PositionError object, reflecting the reason for the failure."

so error function must be called, with timeout error.

"Not Now" is not an error, it's a UI mechanism to close the prompt without making a decision... The user can reopen the prompt to explicitly allow/deny is desired.

It's not resolved.
It is improper spec implementation.

Comment 3

[Alex Art]

Whatever user does it does not matter the getCurrentPosition() method  must invoke errorCallback on timeout!
Read specs please.
You are making developers very unhappy with this.
This bug persists.
