814877 - Getting exception "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005" while calling "Save Dialog box" from addon(on addon-sdk-1.11 command prompt).

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Pawan Kumar Singh]

Attachment: saveData.tar.gz (Untar the file, start addon-sdk using "source addon-sdk-1.11/bin/activate", cd saveData; cfx run;)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121011153627

Steps to reproduce:

Created an addon.
Ran it using:

(addon-sdk-1.11)linux@localhost saveData$ cfx run 

It opened firefox window, then addon creates a panel widget in status bar, which when clicked shows URL of current activetab,
 which I pressed "Enter".


Actual results:

An Exception occurred and showed up on addon-sdk-command prompt in Fedora 16 64-bit:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFilePicker.init]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: resource:///modules/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///tmp/tmp_shjYh.mozrunner/extensions/[e-mail]!/bootstrap.js -> resource://jid1-eigyxw9sgu93jg-at-jetpack/api-utils/lib/loader.js -> resource://jid1-eigyxw9sgu93jg-at-jetpack/savedata/lib/main.js :: save :: line 54"  data: no].



Expected results:

It should have opened a "save" dialog box.

The problem here is that you're trying to pass an SDK wrapper around the active window to an XPCOM component which doesn't understand it. Until we implement file picker support in the SDK you'll need to use this:

var window_utils = require("window/utils")

...

fp.init(window_utils.getMostRecentBrowserWindow(), "Save File...", nsIFilePicker.modeSave);
