324252 - Multiple "Failed to load XPCOM component" messages, when (re)building <compreg.dat>

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Eyal Rozenberg]

In recent sm trunk nightlies (specifically, 2006-10-06), on startup, my Javascript console shows the following:

Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\myspell\en-US.aff
Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\myspell\en-US.dic
Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\fullsoft.dll
Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\talkback.cnt
Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\talkback.exe
Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\talkback-l10n.ini
Failed to load XPCOM component: E:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\components\BrandRes.dll

and so on and so forth (if the full list is important let me know). sm's functionality seems fine otherwise (e.g. spelling works). Highly annoying.

This happens because those files are in the components directory, but aren't XPCOM components. When did this start happening? I can't see any recent changes that should have affected this (assuming you meant 2006-01-06 and not 2006-10-06).

I've resummarized.

"If a file in a newly-downloaded build is missing or corrupted, file the bug in this component."

I'm sure this is a minor issue, but it just gets on my nerves when debugging...

Comment 6

[Eyal Rozenberg]

I have MailNews loading on startup btw, this may not happen when only the browser loads. Also, it does not happen at all with a clean profile.

This should be fixed in trunk/1.8branch builds with the patch from bug 216382. And it is a dup of some older bug, IIRC.

Bug still there, "missing Talkback components" while these files are there,
unpacked from Zip file, with legacy profile:
{
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\BrandRes.dll
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\fullsoft.dll
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\master.ini
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\talkback-l10n.ini
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\talkback.cnt
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\talkback.exe
Failed to load XPCOM component: D:\Progs\seamonkey\components\talkback.hlp
}
SM started with "-browser -jsconsole".

It seems to happen on the first run only of a new nighly.

Actually, it happens each time <compreg.dat> is (re)built:
*SM file is in <\components> application directory
*TB file is in each profile directory

(You can (safely) trigger it by manually deleting the file.)

Regression timeframe:
[Mozilla Thunderbird, version 1.6a1 (20051213)] (2005-12-13-10-trunk) (W2Ksp4)
[Mozilla Thunderbird, version 1.6a1 (20051214)] (2005-12-14-08-trunk) (W2Ksp4)

Maybe bug 320148 ?

I don't remember when SM & TB stopped using Talkback on 1.9 Trunk;
but that (part too) is WorksForMe now.
