634573 - Print warning in error console when file described in chrome.manifest is not found

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Gleb M. Borisov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_6; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.102 Safari/534.13
Build Identifier: 4.0b9pre (build from head on 2011-02-14)

For example:
interfaces component/someIface.xpt

I've typed component instead of components and have a lot of fun with debugging it :)

It would be great if we would warn on this cases for: interfaces, component, overlay, manifest, binary-component directives

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Write chrome.manifest with files does not exists (eg. interfaces directive)
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. Interface is not registered, no warning or error in console.

Expected Results:  
Error or warning appears in error console. Interface still not registered.

I think (I'm not experienced Mozilla developer, just diving in) that it's possible to print message to error console from nsComponentManagerImpl.

For example: nsComponentManagerImpl::ManifestXPT (interfaces directive processor) use NS_WARNING to produce error if stream is not available. In this point we could put warning in error console.
