348405 - Extension manager spams the error console unmercifully

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 314613

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Even though I have extensions.logging.enabled set to false, courtesy of the LOG() function in nsExtensionManager.js.in my Error console contains the following gems:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Datasource: Update Started
Datasource: Addon Update Started: [e-mail]
Datasource: Addon Update Ended: [e-mail], status: 32
Datasource: Addon Update Started: {cf2812dc-6a7c-4402-b639-4d277dac4c36}
RDFItemUpdater:checkForUpdates sending a request to server for: https://addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=1&id={cf2812dc-6a7c-4402-b639-4d277dac4c36}&version=0.6&maxAppVersion=3.0a1&status=%ITEM_STATUS%&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=3.0a1&appOS=Linux&appABI=x86-gcc3, item = ({id:"{cf2812dc-6a7c-4402-b639-4d277dac4c36}", version:"0.6", installLocationKey:"app-global", minAppVersion:"3.0a1", maxAppVersion:"3.0a1", name:"Mozilla XForms", xpiURL:"none", xpiHash:"", iconURL:"chrome://mozapps/skin/xpinstall/xpinstallItemGeneric.png", updateRDF:"", type:2})
RDFItemUpdater:onDatasourceLoaded: Datasource empty.

If you are an Extension developer and were expecting there to be

updates, this could mean any number of things, since the RDF system

doesn't give up much in the way of information when the load fails.



Try checking that: 

 1. Your remote RDF file exists at the location.

 2. Your RDF file is valid XML (starts with <?xml version="1.0?">

    and loads in Firefox displaying pretty printed like other XML documents

 3. Your server is sending the data in the correct MIME

    type (text/xml)

-------------------------------------------------------------
and so on, for about 30 more items.  Please, for the sake of sanity of us all, make all this obey the pref.
