1630253 - Permissions API not available in Service Worker

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1193373

(Core :: DOM: Service Workers, defect)

Description

[mh]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.149 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

• go to about:debugging
• click "This Firefox"
• pick a Service Worker (and click 'start' if it is not running)
• inspect the (now running) Service Worker
• evaluate "self.navigator.permissions" in console

Actual results:

=> undefined

Expected results:

=> Permissions { }

The expected behaviour can be observed by entering the same line into a "normal web page console". According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WorkerNavigator/permissions this API should be available in a ServiceWorker, too.

Thanks for filing this! This is not implemented yet, but several things were wrong with how we were tracking it:

1. Bug 1193373 tracks implementing it, but was in the wrong component. I've moved it there.
2. The compatibility table in MDN was wrong, I've filed https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/5992 to correct that.
