305046 - DOM Inspector and Reporter are not compatible with Deer Park 1.0+

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

Seen on Windows DP 2005-08-17-12-mozilla1.8

-Perform a custom install and ensure DOM Inspector and Website Reporter are
checked for installation.
-Launch DP, go to Tools | Extensions

Tested results: DOM Inspector and Reporter are greyed out and red labels as:
Disabled - not compatible with Deer Park 1.0+  DOM Inspector and Reporter are
not listed their expected menu slots

Expected results: DOM Inspector and Reporter enabled and available for use from
their menu slots.

just a guess, but Windows build was quite late today. Perhaps the checkin for
bug 304476 at 10:17 08/17 is to blame?

I wasn't able to reproduce with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050817 Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005081721

I can confirm problems with Inspector, Reporter AND Talkback.

I use Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050817
Firefox/1.6a1 and all three extensions show in the EM the following message:

"... will be installed when Deer Park is restarted".

But nothing happens if Deer Park is restarted. Alle three extensions are not usable.

On *trunk* this is 304874. On *branch* this may be related to

With a debug trunk build both the Thunderbird and Firefox targetApplication
minVersion and maxVersion were set correctly. With a tbox trunk build the
Thunderbird targetApplication minVersion and maxVersion were empty for Reporter
and DOMi. There is no error handling for this so it killed the EM and since it
did it during an install restarting does not fix it. We could add additional
error handling all over the EM code for invalid values but I would expect there
to be at least a slight perf impact and these types of errors should only be
seen by extension developers.
