1497705 - Errors in common/, hidden by ESLint config file

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Add-Ons: Extensions API, task)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

I've just uncovered a bug in ChromeManifest.jsm that was hidden by the "no-undef" rule being turned off in common/.eslintrc.js. That file is unnecessary, so I removed it and uncovered another bug.

Not really that happy about that.

Does a quick review make you happier?

Do you prefer this or flags.length == 0?

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

Actually I do prefer == 0, but it's all the same :) Ship it!

This really should go on beta too, I don't know if it applies cleanly there.

You can ship it if there's a merge in ~5 hours.

Does that mean it didn't work?

Comment 6

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

It didn't work, but it doesn't throw an exception, because that code never runs, because enabledAddons is always empty. Fortunately we call ExtensionSupport.loadAddonPrefs from the legacy extension handler anyway, so even if it did work, it's redundant.

I'm going to remove the whole thing.

I could go step further and fix the name of extensionSupport.jsm, but I'll save that for another day. ;-)

Can you enlighten me here a little bit. This was implemented in the mozilla59/60 days when M-C scrapped the code that read the defaults. It's still actively working here:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-esr60/source/common/src/extensionSupport.jsm#

So when did Services.dirsvc.get("XREExtDL", Ci.nsISimpleEnumerator); start returning nothing? Most likely when the non-bootstrapped add-ons disappeared, right, during mozilla 61?
