337925 - Extensions Manager error: "Blocklist::_loadBlocklistFromFile: XML File does not exist"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Matthew (lilmatt) Willis]

We're getting the following error from the Extensions Manager:

"Blocklist::_loadBlocklistFromFile: XML File does not exist"

We're missing the default prefs that define the blocklist file.

+pref("extensions.blocklist.url", "https://addons.mozilla.org/blocklist/1/%APP_ID%/%APP_VERSION%/");

Is AMO set up to handle this for Sunbird?  I'm guessing we're going to get a 404 back which will probably just create more errors?  Maybe we should set extensions.blocklist.enabled to false?

I can't confirm this right now, as I'm just building Ethereal on the stinkpad, but I _think_ I tested this on my Mac and it worked correctly when I added it to the nu-prefs bug. It gave back a blank XML element or something.

I'll poke around once Ethereal installs, and I'll see if anyone in #amo or something can answer this definitively for us.

OK, given that even minefield doesn't seem to have a blocklist set up yet, let's go ahead with this.  But stay on the AMO folks to make sure we get the public blocklist too.  r=jminta

Patch checked in on trunk and MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH.

Moved these prefs to be with the other extensions prefs

-> FIXED
