I'm seeing strict errors in running some tests: pid:5928 JavaScript strict warning: file:///Users/michaelkaply/Projects/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0/dist/Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/components/nsSearchService.js, line 1870: ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "localName" 0:01.17 pid:5928 JavaScript strict warning: file:///Users/michaelkaply/Projects/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0/dist/Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/components/nsSearchService.js, line 1789: ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "localName" 0:01.17 INFO "CONSOLE_MESSAGE: (warn) [JavaScript Warning: "ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "localName"" {file: "file:///Users/michaelkaply/Projects/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0/dist/Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/components/nsSearchService.js" line: 1870}]" 0:01.17 INFO "CONSOLE_MESSAGE: (warn) [JavaScript Warning: "ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "localName"" {file: "file:///Users/michaelkaply/Projects/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0/dist/Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/components/nsSearchService.js" line: 1789}]" We're assuming localName in certain places in the code, but #text nodes don't have a localName.
I attempted to fix this bug, but I didn't manage to reproduce it. Could you provide more info about what tests to run to reproduce it?
Flags: needinfo?(mozilla)
Sure. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1482085 toolkit/components/places/tests/unifiedcomplete/test_PlacesSearchAutocompleteProvider.js should show it. Thanks!
Flags: needinfo?(mozilla)
Yes, run ./mach xpcshell-test toolkit/components/places/tests/unifiedcomplete/test_PlacesSearchAutocompleteProvider.js and watch the output. Text nodes don't have an attribute 'localName' so I think this should be changed to 'nodeName'.
Thank you very much for the pointers! So the main reason for this error was that when iterating the document's nodes (i.e searchplugins/google.xml) for comparing nodes against a tag name ("Param", "MozParam", "ShortName", etc), the iteration was done using 'childNodes', which returns all nodes of a document (including text nodes) [1]. If I recall correctly, an element node always includes a text node, which explains where the text nodes were coming from. So I changed the function 'childNodes' for 'children' which returns only element nodes. In addition, I replaced all references of 'localName' for 'nodeName', since 'localName' is obsolete according to [2].

Comment on attachment 9000171 [details] [diff] [review] Skip text nodes when iterating document nodes Review of attachment 9000171 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks! This works, and I hate to ask you to change it, but while you're right that localName is obsolete on Node, it's not obsolete on Element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/localName We could switch to nodeName, but I don't see a good reason to do that, so would you mind reverting those lines? (_data is set to documentElement, so even in that case, localName is OK.) Switching from childNodes to children is all that's needed to fix this -- and thanks for catching that.

I agree if in fact there's no justified reason to change localName for nodeName, it makes to leave it as it is. Patch updated.
