1726986 - "Invalid chrome URI (need path): chrome://messenger/" when opening Thunderbird preferences

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Theme, defect)

Description

[:aceman]

When opening Thunderbird preferences (on Linux) I get this message in the Error console:
Invalid chrome URI (need path): chrome://chat/

When opening any of the preferences subdialogs (like General->Check Now...) I get:
Invalid chrome URI (need path): chrome://messenger/

This repeats for any subdialog.

Maybe these generic theme references are no longer needed?

Hmm, WFM over here.

It may need some stricter JS debugging output.
Like MOZ_REPORT_ALL_JS_EXCEPTIONS=1 env variable,

prefs.js:
user_pref("javascript.options.strict", true);
user_pref("javascript.options.strict.debug", true);

aceman, do you still see this in current versions?

Comment 4

[:aceman]

Yes, even with current trunk.

I hate to report this, but under linux with the current C-C (update about 10 days ago)
I got the following.
This is with FULL DEBUG version of TB (thus strict checking, etc., I suppose)

With mochitest log, I get 195 (<- typo, was 165) such warnings.
grep "Invalid chrome URI" /FF-NEW/log1486-mochitest.txt | wc
195 1953 16495

Surprisingly, there was none with xpcshell test.

The breakdown is as follows.

ishikawa@ip030:~$ grep "Invalid chrome URI" /FF-NEW/log1486-mochitest.txt  | cut --delim=" " -f 2- | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -k 1 -r

      7 INFO Console message: Invalid chrome URI (need path): chrome://global/

ishikawa@ip030:~$ 

I am aware of many warning, but not sure how to prioritize them. Thus I have not reported these (or have i?)

It can be seen immediately when viewing the Account central pane, or the Account settings (Account manager).
I remember in the past we had such generic paths loaded in the css themes to inherit some global styling from toolkit. But I no longer see such URLs in css files.

I don't see this. Do you use a debug build?

I use a debug build (It seems I even added -DDEBUG to CFLAGS over the years).

aceman seems to set some environment variables and stuff in comment 2
