1940945 - Lots of garbage in browser log from "console.error: services.settings: Message: TypeError: NetworkError: Network request failed"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Agent, defect, P2)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

I've seen this for a while but forgot to file a bug about. Whenever I start Firefox with the RemoteAgent enabled I can see a lot of log spam like the following:

console.error: services.settings: 
  Message: TypeError: NetworkError: Network request failed
  Stack:
    fetch/</request.onerror@resource://services-settings/Utils.sys.mjs:238:26c

It's a regression but I do not know at the moment when it started. As it looks like it's coming from the remote settings and originates from:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/6d06ffc186ac356648f1feeadd52cc61b2ad6737/services/settings/Utils.sys.mjs#238

It's not clear for which kind of settings it actually fails so some additional debugging might be good to do.

Mathieu, is there actually a way to get rid of those console error logs by default? When WebDriver is enabled we set services.settings.server to data:,#remote-settings-dummy/v1 to prevent external network access but then all those entries start to get printed to the log.

Would setting the preference services.settings.loglevel to off in these test profiles work for you?

This works great! I didn't know that off is an option as well. I'll set it as recommended preference for the Remote Agent and Marionette.
