705012 - indexeddb functionality broken in latest nightly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Storage: IndexedDB, defect)

Description

[John Hammink]

on fennec/11.0a1, Gecko/20111122

it appears the indexed db functionality isn't working

when I surf to

http://people.mozilla.com/~jhammink/webapi_test_pages/IndexeddbAPIdemo.html

I am not given any of the security prompts, prompts to store local db, etc, and searching is unresponsive.

Note that 
dom.indexedDB.enabled = true
dom.indexedDB.warningQuota = 5
indexedDB.feature.enabled = true

Does native fennec have this hooked up yet?

Comment 2

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

We added the permission prompts in bug 701527; at least that much should work (and I expect the rest to work, although I haven't really tested it).

Is this using the native "birch" nightly (with a tab button in the urlbar), or the XUL nightly (with tabs in a slide-out sidebar)?

This WFM in current builds of both native and XUL fennec.

Note that in both desktop and mobile Firefox, the prompt does not appear until after enter a zip code in the search field and press return.

I have done exactly this in my latest birch nightly and can still reproduce the issue. Consistently. However, it's checkerboarded so badly (apparently another issue) that I can only assume that it has kept the settings from my previous install.  I cannot view enough of any page I load to see everything.

However, it works, albeit, inconsistently for me on the latest oak xul (24.11)

Immediately after clean install:
access zipcode page
try to enter first zipcode + enter
Doorhanger:  ""people.mozilla.com" wants to store data on your device for offline use"  =>  allow
nothing happens
enter another zipcode + enter
Doorhanger:  ""people.mozilla.com" wants to store data on your device for offline use"  =>  allow
Doorhanger Initializing zipcode database: Loaded xxxxx records.
Doorhanger:  ""people.mozilla.com" wants to store data on your device for offline use"  =>  allow
Doorhanger:  people.mozilla.com wants to store alot of data on your device for offline use => allow
nothing happens

enter a third zipcode
Doorhanger:  ""people.mozilla.com" wants to store data on your device for offline use"  =>  allow
nothing happens

enter a fourth zipcode
......
In one case I was actually able to get it to work correctly.

am given all the necessary door hanger prompts:

people.mozilla.com wants to store data on your device for offline use => allow
"Initializing zipcode database: loaded 43191 records"
after a few false starts I am able to start returning cities from relevant zipcodes directly.

Actual scenario after settings=> clear data
go to zipcode page
1.  Type zipcode, enter
2.  Doorhanger:  ""people.mozilla.com" wants to store data on your device for offline use"  =>  allow
3.  Nothing happens
4.  type different zipcode again, enter
5. Doorhanger:  ""people.mozilla.com" wants to store data on your device for offline use"  =>  allow
4.  Nothing happens

On the fifth or so trial
went to settings=> manage applications
clear all data and close nightly
restart nightly go to zipcode page
enter zipcode  + enter
people.mozilla.com wants to store data on your device for offline use => allow
"Initializing zipcode database: loaded 43191 records"
Doorhanger:  people.mozilla.com wants to store data on your device for offline use
=> allow
Doorhanger:  people.mozilla.com wants to store alot of data on your device for offline use => allow
94041 = unknown zip code (it's actually mountain view)
enter another relevant zipcode
doorhanger => allow
City: unknown zipcode
not sure what's going on but this feature really doesn't appear to be working.

Well, to clarify - perhaps part - the permission part of it is working but it doesn't seem to be loading indexxed db - or accessing it - consistently.  At least on my setup :)

Nobody has been able to reproduce this.
