1472608 - IndexedDB changes aren't reflected in the web developer tools

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1273802

(DevTools :: Storage Inspector, defect, P2)

Description

[Prahlad Yeri]

Attachment: idb.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180607194748

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a simple script to your HTML that creates an IndexedDB data store and adds and object to it (see attachment).
2. Verify it from firefox developer tools => Storage => Indexed DB.
3. Delete the data store by right clicking.
4. Rerun the script by refreshing the HTML.


Actual results:

1. The results of step-3 (delete data store) are intermittent. Firefox prompts a status message such as  "Database "test (Default)" will be deleted after all connections are closed.", but the deletion isn't reflected in the developer tools (the small refresh icon doesn't seem like working at all).
2. Once you refresh the page, the "request:onupgradeneeded" should fire again since the old database was deleted, but again its intermittent and doesn't always fire.


Expected results:

1. The results (of step-3) should immediately reflect, Firefox shouldn't wait for something for deletion of a datastore. Since the page has already been loaded (and assuming no script running in background), what "all connections" need to be closed here?
2. Upon a page refresh, the state of the IndexedDB in the developer tools should also reflect those changes immediately, but it doesn't happen.
3. Finally, I'm using Firefox 60.0.2 on Xubuntu 16.04 LTS (64bit) if that matters.

I managed to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 16.04, Windows 10 and Mac OS, Firefox 60.0, 61.0, Firefox 62.0b5 and Nightly 63.0a1 (2018-07-05). 

I am marking the bug as New on DOM:IndexDB component.
