821138 - Alarm API - getAll() returning me an empty object

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

When I call `getAll()` through `window.navigator.mozAlarms`, I get back an empty object. I have setup a variety of Gaia (Clock) alarms to test this out.

var req = window.navigator.mozAlarms.getAll();
req.onsuccess = function() {
  console.log(Object.keys(req.result).length === 0) //true
}

What are the conditions in which `getAll()` will work?

Based on you description, I think it's highly possible due to the FAQ #3 at [1]. You can only use .getAll() to get the alarms that have been added by the same app because of the security issue. Please let me know if this solves your problem or not. Thanks!

Btw, if all the added alarms have been fired, then .getAll() will also return nothing.

#3 is my issue; thanks!

I guess my next issue is that the result attribute from the DOMRequest object I'm getting back from .getAll() is still empty: [{},{},{}] (3 alarms set-up). Any idea?

It's likely a real object, just one that doesn't JSON-ify for your logging.

I think it's a potential bug. Thanks for pointing out. We need to wrap the objects respecting to the content window. Fire Bug 821633.
