477518 - Attempting to view cookies fails, "attempt to insert nil" exception logged in Console

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 458539

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

08/02/2009 22:11:41 Camino[210] Mozilla has caught an Obj-C exception [NSInvalidArgumentException: *** -[NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil] 

just started happening when I tried to view cookies for the first time in 2009013100 trunk on a new MacBook Pro (with the profile copied over from my old PowerBook G4). Filing as UNCO for now because I can't investigate further at the moment but I'll get back to this later today.

STR:

Preferences -> Privacy -> Show Cookies...

ER:

Shows cookies.

AR:

Does nothing, logs an exception in Console.

Probably just a corrupted cookies file, but ISTR we had another case of this recently and it'd be nice if we could figure out a) how it's happening and b) how to protect against it.

...so it's not the file per se, since  you're seeing this with the .sqlite file.

If you can repro this in a debug build, there should be more detailed exception info captured.
