370716 - URL bar autocomplete not working on Suiterunner

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Caio Tiago Oliveira (asrail)]

Autocomplete is not working in the SeaMonkey's Suiterunner URL bar.

The Suiterunner shows on the JS console:
JavaScript strict warning: chrome://global/content/bindings/autocomplete.xml, line 50: reference to undefined property Components.classes['@mozilla.org/autocomplete/controller;1']
JavaScript error: chrome://global/content/bindings/autocomplete.xml, line 50: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/autocomplete/controller;1'] has no properties

autocomplete.xml:50:        this.ifSetAttribute("showpopup", true);

Problem with your build perhaps?

@neil: this bug is all about how Suiterunner handles to toolkit autocomplete. It means the fix for this maybe inside xpfe autocomplete (with some #ifndef MOZ_XUL_APP, for instance) or on another place.
Should this be moved to Toolkit-->Autocomplete?

The warning is from the toolkit one:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/content/widgets/autocomplete.xml#50

and the "autocomplete/controller" thing is in its constructor (line 90).


Anyway, this bug is marked as a dependency of bug 263042, since we could use the xpfe autocomplete in the toolkit (at least for transition).

ajschult said it was a known issue (but no issue for this was already raised).

actually, autocomplete mostly works in my build.  The search item at the bottom isn't quite right, but autocomplete in general does work from the URL bar.

Tabbrowser patch fix this for me and bug 263042 will allow to use the toolkit autocomplete, so there is no need for this bug anymore.
