I installed Minefield.  I uninstalled all extensions.  I can't get Tab Candy to appear when I press CTRL-Space.  It also doesn't work when I press the Tab Candy button.  

Reproducible: Always

I get this error in the error console when I start Minefield:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIXPCComponents_Utils.import]"  nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/tabcandy.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 3"  data: no]

Could you try loading this url from that build..

resource://gre/modules

There should be a "tabview" directory. OS X builds seem to load

resource://gre/modules/tabview
and
resource://gre/modules/tabview/tabs.js

Comment 3

[Josh]

There is no tabview directory here: resource://gre/modules

Doesn't exist: resource://gre/modules/tabview
Doesn't exist: resource://gre/modules/tabview/tabs.js

Is this just some sort of odd installation error?  

I used this installer:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tryserver-builds/[e-mail]-c454b3f03fe8/tryserver-win32/firefox-4.0b3pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe

What if you use the zip version instead? That seems to have the tabview directory under modules.

Comment 5

[Josh]

I copied the modules directory from the zip version over my installed modules directory, and now Tab Candy is working.

Comment 7

[Trent Waddington]

gah, fix the installer.

kthxbye.

Attachment: Suggested patch for bug 582597.

Moves modules/tabview/tabs.js and modules/tabview/utils.js to modules/tabview.js and modules/tabviewUtils.js, respectively. Updated the makefiles and source lines in tabview.js appropriately.

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

Why not figure out why directories under modules don't install? Other components will be doing this type of module organization.

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

Rob Strong just fixed the packaging to handle subdirectories yesterday, so I'll just need to merge from mozilla-central and push again to try and it should be fixed!
