User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090616 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I attempt to create an auto-publisher, and I receive the error message:
'The collection could not be created (an internal error occured).'  This occurs on both my home desktop, and my work laptop.  I suspect an interfering extension, since I have many of the same on the two computers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Add-On Collector options
2.Select 'Auto-publisher Settings'
3.name the collection
4.click 'Create Auto-publisher'
Actual Results:  
I receive the error message:
'The collection could not be created (an internal error occured).'

Expected Results:  
No error, and new collection created.

Just out of curiosity, what did you name the collection?

Comment 2

On my laptop at work, I attempted 'work'.  At home: 'home'.  Simple enough.

Comment 3

I can reproduce this. I tried with the name 'Laptop'. I had the following checked:

- List in public collections directory
- Extensions
- Only publish enabled addons

Debug outout:

I looked up prefs, and my 'extensions.bandwagon.local.autopublisher' was set to:

extensions.bandwagon.local.autopublisher;https://bandwagon.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/api/1.3/sharing//collections/f8c229b6-a85b-f21e-f477-fbdfb2bc0cde/

Yet I don't see an auto-pub collection in my list.

I reset the pref, but get the same error.

Michael,

Do you have Adblock Plus installed? When I disabled that add-on, auto-publishing worked.

So bug 506501 might be related.

Brian,
I do not have AdBlock Plus.  Do you think it could be another extension that I have causing some conflict?

Possibly. Could you try disabling them 1 by 1, and trying auto-publish after each?

After going through and disabling all of the add-ons, the problem was still there each time.

I'm having this problem also.

Two hosts: 
 * Ubuntu Gnu/Linux 9.04 - Firefox 3.5.2
 * Windows XP - Firefox 3.5.2

On the windows host I have tried to disable all extensions but collections and it still fails.

I'm also having a general problems with no collections showing up in the addon and when logging in into the addon, if hangs showing the spinner but if I restart the browser it shows me as logged in.

For me is seems to be related to bug 507236 and removing Web Developer's Toolbox solved the problem for me

[George Worley]

This is happening to me:

Firefox Version 3.5.2
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 GTB5
Add-on Collector version 1.0.3

Comment 13

[George Worley]

I Started Firefox in safe mode and disabled all add-ins then enabled only Add-on Collector and get the following:

bandwagon(1): Could not update collections list: Error 1401: unauthorized

and

The collection could not be created (an internal error occured)

Thanks for the inquiry.  The latest update has successfully resolved the issue for me.  Unless others have not seen the same success, I would say this bug can be closed.
Thanks!

Marking resolved.

Sweet; 1.0.4 seems to have resolved a bunch of issues with 1.0.3.
