17822 - Can't load a file using nsIFileSpec instance

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[ppandit]

Using a debug build from 11/1/99

I have a testcase that used to work but now has a problem. It loads a txt file
that contains a mail message and sends it using an XPConnect interface. The
message still gets sent but the file does not get loaded.

Code
-----
function Do_SendMailMessage()
{
var phonyURL =
Components.classes["component://netscape/network/simple-uri"].createInstance(Com
ponents.interfaces.nsIURI);

try {
   var filespec =
Components.classes["component://netscape/filespec"].createInstance(Components.in
terfaces.nsIFileSpec);
filespec.nativePath = "SampleMailMessage.txt";
      } catch (ex) {
        dump("Cannot create an instance of nsIFileSpec\n");
      }
	  // filespec.nativePath = "SampleMailMessage.txt";


interfaceofsmtpservice.SendMailMessage(filespec,"[e-mail]",null,null
,phonyURL);

	document.testcasesform.textarea.value = "SendMailMessage passes \n";
}

Joe -- is this the problem we talked about? Shoule this be assigned to you or
someone else? If you, please set the milestone.

I know about the warning, and that's my problem.  But it has nothing to do with
this bug.  This should be reassigned to whoever owns SendMailMessage().  handing
off to beppe for disposition.

SendMailMessage is a method within the nsISmtpService interface that mscott
handles.

Comment 5

[rubydoo123]

well, then off to mscott it goes

Par, I'm confused. How can the message get sent if the file doesn't
get opened? It sounds like we are reading your file and sending the message
right?

Or are you getting a blank message that didn't contain the message in your file?

Reassigning to Par to decide if there's a real bug here or not

Tested again removing test method code.
You can check by loading http://bubblegum/NGDriver/suites/mai/bug17822.html

The issue is that if I load the file as an http:// in the location bar then the
failure occurs. But if I use File->Open File or File->Open Web Location then I
do not see the "Opening file SampleMailMessage.txt failed" error.

Looks like I need handle better my nsIFileSpec parameter to SendMailMessage.

MARKING AS INVALID and VERIFIED. I may have to reopen this later if I cannot
find a solution.
