Description

[David Epstein]

all platforms. builds 2000-09-07-08-M18.
1. Go to http://jimbob/trigger3.html
2. In URL field, enter http://jimbob/jars/f_getfolder_slash_err.xpi
3. Trigger and OK.
Result: Confirmation dialog hangs up. Progress dlog freezes, but can move dlog.
Expected: No hanging. Strip out the lead slash before handling in getFolder.

Here's the script:

var jarSrc = "smrtupdt.txt";

initInstall("Functional: f_getfolder_slash_err", "functional", "1.1.1.1", 0);

f = getFolder("Program");
err = addFile("getFolderTest", jarSrc, f, jarSrc);
logComment("addFile returns = " + err);

g = getFolder(f, "/smrtupdt.txt");
logComment("g folder object returns = " + f);

if (0 == getLastError())
   performInstall();
else
   cancelInstall();

The xpinstall script engine has been removed from the trunk, bugs in it are obsolete.
