Well, the compiled nsIJSON IDL seems not to be shipped with the Win32 builds at all. Trying to get a nsJSON instance through Cc["@mozilla.org/dom/json;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIJSON) results in the following

Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80570018 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_IID) [nsIJSCID.createInstance]

Strange, the rest of the tests are passing on Windows.

Looks like dom_json.xpt needs to be added to packages-static. Probably not related to the unit test bustage (the unit test machines run builds from the objdir, I think).

Filed that as bug 412025.

Not blocking on this bug from 2007. And is there even more work to do here?

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yes.  This still fails, and it fails due to bug 456603.  We're going to add a workaround in bug 633934.

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

nsIJSON is gone and the bug description doesn't have enough info about which tests failed to see if the tests remain.
