Attached file testmod.html
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_1) AppleWebKit/604.3.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0.1 Safari/604.3.5

Steps to reproduce:

Create a HTML file that imports an ES6 module from its parent directory. The exact same setup when the imported module is in the same directory as the HTML file.


Actual results:

None of the code is run, and no error is given. Ie. the module code inside the HTML file is not run and neither is the module code that it imports.


Expected results:

Both modules should have been run. At the very least an error should be displayed on the console if this setup is, for some reason, unacceptable for Firefox.
if you're testing it with file:/// scheme, it's the restriction of it.
it cannot access parent directory for security reason.
Yes, it's with file. I can't find any documentation on that policy (and the same setup does work with Safari). Without debating the merits of that policy, the very least Firefox could do is deliver an error reflecting the problem. At the moment it fails silently.

Summary: ES6 modules cannot be loaded from parent directory → Accessing parent directory in file:/// should show descriptive error message
Yes, I saw some other people bump into this issue when developing locally.
I think it's better describing the restriction in the error message, and maybe suggesting development using web server.

We fail AsyncOpen()'ing the file channel exactly here:

mRequestingPrincipal->CheckMayLoad fails few lines above (expected), so we get here:

nsresult
nsCORSListenerProxy::CheckPreflightNeeded(nsIChannel* aChannel, UpdateType aUpdateType)
{
  // If this caller isn't using AsyncOpen2, or if this *is* a preflight channel,
  // then we shouldn't initiate preflight for this channel.
  nsCOMPtr<nsILoadInfo> loadInfo = aChannel->GetLoadInfo();
  if (!loadInfo ||
      loadInfo->GetSecurityMode() !=
        nsILoadInfo::SEC_REQUIRE_CORS_DATA_INHERITS ||
      loadInfo->GetIsPreflight()) {
    return NS_OK;
  }

  bool doPreflight = loadInfo->GetForcePreflight();

  nsCOMPtr<nsIHttpChannel> http = do_QueryInterface(aChannel);
> NS_ENSURE_TRUE(http, NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI);

The channel is not an http channel, apparently.  The error then bubbles up and is swallowed w/o any console warning.


Fwding to DOM:Sec.

:vino, in all the cases where we return NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI, we should actually log to the console. Not only in this particular case, but also in other cases where we return that error. I think we can simply use LogBlockedRequest().

Initially added console log related to this particular case.
Working on adding console log to all the cases were NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI is returned.
