(Whiteboard: [dogfood-]implementation mostly complete, blizzard helping)

Blocks: 13320
Summary: [DOGFOOD] UNIX nsIFile not implemented → [DOGFOOD] UNIX nsIFile not implemented
Whiteboard: [PDT-]
Putting on PDT- radar. Porkjockey work. Not known why this is needed for dogfood.
Target Milestone: M12
Rocking hard on this. I'll mail out diffs and the Unix files for review today.

Initial portions are in the tree.
shaver deftly dodges the oncoming M12 train. He will catch his breath and leap aboard the M13 one as soon as it starts boarding.

We've just got Move/Copy and isContainedIn that matter right now.

You rule, blizzard. I've got isContainedIn implemented, but I'm crashing in autoreg now (dirIterator->GetNext in nsNativeComponentLoader::RegisterComponentsInDir), so I can't test it. Foiled again! I've got another build going now, in case that fixes it -- is anyone else seeing this on the NSIFILE branch?

Taking ownership and marking as beta1. This is something that I would consider important for beta quality.

What's the status of this bug? As far as I know, we're running with nsIFile on linux (all of necko uses it now).
There are still some things that aren't implemented yet. The following functions aren't done: nsLocalFile::Normalize() nsLocalFile::CopyTo() ( just copying a directory. files work. ) nsLocalFile::CopyToFollowingLinks() nsLocalFile::MoveTo() nsLocalFile::GetDiskSpaceAvailable() nsLocalFile::GetParent() nsLocalFile::Spawn()
Putting dogfood in the keyword field.

Summary: [DOGFOOD] UNIX nsIFile not implemented → UNIX nsIFile not implemented
nsIFile::Spawn() and nsIFile::Normalize have been checked in.
I have a version of GetParent as a patch over in bug 21100 - not sure if it's the best way, but, it's good enough for the filecache to start working.

I'll take a look at it. A brief glance says it's ok but I'll have to test it.

What is the status of this bug? According to the comments it may be important for beta (nsbeta2 ?).
Putting on [dogfood-] radar.

Ok, doing a status update on this bug since the information given seems to be WELL out of date. Here is the current status: ::CopyTo is not implimented for directories. ::CopyToFollowingLinks is completely unimplimented. ::MoveTo is completely unimplimented. ::GetDiskSpaceAvailable is unimplimented for platforms without statfs.
Blocks: 43228
The lack of MoveTo is blocking bug 37842 which we need to do XPI upgrades of the product itself, skins, etc.
Keywords: nsbeta3
Yeah, I haven't had time to work on that at all. Sorry. :( Feel free to assign it to dougt if you want.
MoveTo() is implemented on all platforms now. (Unix does a Copy/Delete - not optimal)
Argh -- why does Unix not use rename(2) and only copy/unlink if rename fails with EXDEV? /be
dougt admits that's it's not optimal probably for this very reason
Who's gonna fix it? I can cough up a patch if no one else is gonna. /be
Given that this bug has hung around unfixed so long, maybe you'd better just do it.
remember that rename fails across volumes.
and that with recursive moves across volumes sometimes it will fail in the middle if you happen to cross a filesystem border
Yeah yeah -- I mentioned EXDEV, didn't I? (Meesa implemented rename in Irix some time in the late '80s.) Blizzard, do you mind if I take this bug? /be

Sure, go right ahead.

Target Milestone: M17 → M18
Maybe I should take bug 33098 and close this one? /be
This has been fixed. All apis are implemented.
