589810 - Assertion at startup because we're not initializing the disk cache soon enough ("Cannot switch cache directory when initialized")

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 596808

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[(no longer active)]

I get this assertion at startup:

"Cannot switch cache directory when initialized"

#0	0x0052cea3 in NS_DebugBreak_P at nsDebugImpl.cpp:266
#1	0x123a92f3 in nsDiskCacheDevice::SetCacheParentDirectory at nsDiskCacheDevice.cpp:993

#8	0x00002615 in main at nsBrowserApp.cpp:158
#9	0x00002296 in start

The disk cache gets initialized a short while later:

#0	0x123aa5a2 in nsDiskCacheDevice::Init at nsDiskCacheDevice.cpp:367
#1	0x1239e68e in nsCacheService::OnProfileChanged at nsCacheService.cpp:1558
#2	0x123a1de7 in nsCacheProfilePrefObserver::Observe at nsCacheService.cpp:277
#3	0x00567c6b in nsObserverList::NotifyObservers at nsObserverList.cpp:130
#4	0x00569200 in nsObserverService::NotifyObservers at nsObserverService.cpp:182
#5	0x0001ceeb in nsXREDirProvider::DoStartup at nsXREDirProvider.cpp:738
#6	0x00011152 in XRE_main at nsAppRunner.cpp:3535
#7	0x00002615 in main at nsBrowserApp.cpp:158
#8	0x00002296 in start

So it seems like nsCacheService::OnProfileChanged needs to initialize the disk cache before calling SetCacheParentDirectory on it.
