234401 - In <widgetglue.js>, Exceptions and Warning when trying to "rename folder to its current name with different case" ((non IMAP) local folders)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 507601

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113] (W98SE)

1. In MailNews, ask to rename a folder using its context menu (from left panel)
2. Only change the case of the letter, for example 'mozilla' -> 'moZilla'
3. On 'OK' (rename), get the warning about "folder already exists"
   (That's bug 92165.)
4. On 'OK' (warning), get the following Exception
   (first time only)
{
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80550013 [nsIMessenger.RenameFolder]"  nsresult: "0x80550013 (<unknown>)" 
location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js :: RenameFolder
:: line 97"  data: no]
}

Code is
{{
      try
      {
        messenger.RenameFolder(GetFolderDatasource(), selectedFolder, name);   // 97
      }
      catch(e)
      {
        SelectFolder(selectedFolder.URI);  //restore selection   // 101
        throw(e); // so that the dialog does not automatically close
        dump ("Exception : RenameFolder \n");
      }
}}

5. Repeat step 3 and 4, the "errors" become
   (all next times)
{
Warning: reference to undefined property selectedFolder.URI
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js
Line: 101

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIRDFService.GetResource]"  nsresult:
"0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js :: SelectFolder :: line 1415" 
data: no]
}

I guess this should be fixed before, or ar least at the same time, as bug 92165.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 / Seamonkey 1.1.11 is already available, and this bug is already WORKSFORME. I think there is no need to keep open. Closing as WORKSFORME.

Step 5 may be fixed in "recent" builds/releases.
But Step 4 is still there.

There is no function RenameFolder and no selectedFolder.URI in widgetglue.js of Thunderbird. Is this Seamonkey only or outdated?

The widgetglue.js file was removed from TB altogether. So the report needs to be refreshed.

I can't reproduce: actually, renaming (mostly) works now :-> [Though I didn't expect it to.]
(I'm not sure whether MailNews was fixed or the (3) IMAP server(s) I use were improved. Anyway...)

It still doesn't work for me. (Thunderbird 31 on Ubuntu)

I tried a local folder and an RSS folder, both gave the error pop-up "A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name." and didn't let the rename occur.

Actually both errors (but not the warning) were still happening:
{{
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80550013 [nsIMessenger.RenameFolder]"  nsresult: "0x80550013 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js :: RenameFolder :: line 113"  data: no]

}}

Oh, now I "remember": I probably wasn't using IMAP yet in 2004-2008...

Now trying on (non IMAP) local folders!


[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.19) Gecko/20110420 SeaMonkey/2.0.14]

Step 5 was already (fully) fixed.
But step 4 error remained:
{{
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80550013 [nsIMsgFolder.rename]"  nsresult: "0x80550013 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js :: RenameFolder :: line 99"  data: no]
}}


[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 SeaMonkey/2.26.1]

Now, steps 4 and 5 always report:
{{
Error: : Component returned failure code: 0x80550013 [nsIMsgFolder.rename]
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js
Line: 53
}}

Code is
{{
51       try
52       {
53         selectedFolder.rename(name, msgWindow);
54       }
55       catch(e)
56       {
57         SelectFolder(selectedFolder.URI);  //restore selection
58         throw(e); // so that the dialog does not automatically close
59         dump ("Exception : RenameFolder \n");
60       }
}}


[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.0]

Steps 4 and 5 are fully fixed in Thunderbird.


Then, MailNews Core -> SeaMonkey

Without more details, your comment is bug 92165, not this bug.

[Ian Neal]

This code went away in Bug 507601 so duping against that bug.
