83844 - Cannot create new bookmark folder

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Lythande]

After several searches I can't seem to find this, so apologies if this is a dupe.

When using the bookmark menu "file bookmark": Click new folder button... nothing.

Open bookmark manager:  
 Click new folder button.. nothing.  
 Use file/new folder... nothing.

build 2001060104 Win32 talkback.zip W95B

I see the same. Looks like something got b0rken in the nightly. :)
b.t.w I'm running 2001060308 under win32 (2k).

Comment 2

[Chris Lyon]

I think this is a dupe of bug 83642.

Comment 3

[Fabian Guisset]

yeah it's a dup, after doing the workaround, the new folder commands work again.
Please reopen if you don't agree.

I don't see where this is a duplicate, nor that it has been fixed.  The
workaround there does NOT work here -- still.  I can move, mark, view properties
and delete everything.  What I -cannot- do is create a new bookmark -folder- by
any means.

From navigator window, choose Bookmarks/File Bookmark, click New Folder button..
nothing -- absolutely nothing -- happens.

From the bookmark manager window (^B):
 Choose File/New Folder -- same result -- nothing happens.
 Right-click in the bookmarks list --either within a folder or on on a folder--
   choose New Folder -- Nothing Happens
 Click the 'File Boomark(s)' button, click the New Folder button in the dialogue
     
    --nothing happens
 Click on the "New Folder" button -- nothing happens.

^N does nothing to help here.

OOps... Forgot to state.. Using build 2001061120 (11?  I've just missed ten
years??! -- and it's -still- not fixed??  ;-)

The rest hasn't changed (unfortunately)

[Fabian Guisset]

Worksforme in build 2001061020 on win2k. (But claudius would tell you that
everything works for me ;)
It *might* be a problem with your profile. In that case the only advice I can
give you is to move your file bookmarks.html out of your profile to see if it
fixes the problem. 

Comment 8

[Claudius Gayle]

Okay let's reopen. Try this with a new profile and new build and report your
results. If we can reproduce this bug then we can confirm it and get some traction.

Comment 9

[Lythande]

Okay, brand new build (2001061304 -- and yes, my brain was on vacation when I
made the comment of missing some years ;-).  I completely vap'd my profile
directory, fired up Mozilla, watched it install a new profile, tried to file a
bookmark in a new directory and ---


Got the exact same results as reported before. :-(

Comment 10

[Chris Lyon]

Lythande,

Are you still seeing this on a recent build?  Is there anything in the 
JavaScript Console?  A New Folder dialog should pop up.  Is it being hidden 
behind another window?

WFM on 2001062611 on Win2K.

Comment 11

[Lythande]

Yes, as of build 2001062704.  :-(

I've checked behind other windows and found nada.  :-/

Javascript: yes.. the following seems to be the pertinent error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Not enough arguments
[nsIPromptService.prompt]"  nsresult: "0x80570001
(NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.js :: anonymous :: line
255"  data: no]


When using 'File Bookmark' button in BM manager this additional error pops up:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsIDOMHTMLInputElement.select]"  nsresult:
"0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/bindings/textbox.xml#textbox.select() :: select :: line
1"  data: no]



The first error occurs whichever method I try for creating a new folder. (See
above for listing of attempted methods.)

(The mail you received off-line would have made more sense had Doze not crashed
before I had the original reply committed here.)-:

Comment 12

[Lythande]

Erm... Might this be pertinent...  It seems the file bookmarksTree.js is nowhere
to be found... Either on my machine nor in the .zip file.  :-/

Comment 13

[Lythande]

<BLUSH colour=BeetRed> Never mind.  </BLUSH>

Comment 14

[Fabian Guisset]

the first error makes no sense to me because the number of parameters is correct.
not sure about the second error.... and of course still works for me in 0.9.2.
could you please check that line 255 of your bookmarksTree.js file looks like this

if (kPromptSvc.prompt(window, dialogTitle, dialogMsg, stringValue, null, {
value: 0 })) {

Thanks.

Comment 15

[Lythande]

Yup:

if (kPromptSvc.prompt(window, dialogTitle, dialogMsg, stringValue, null, {
value: 0 })) {

The first error is the one that consistently pops up no matter what method I try
to create a new folder.  :-/

So far only one other person has mentioned seeing the same behaviour, and they
have not responded to the e-mail I sent... I am NOT crazy!!  ;-)  (Well, just a
little.)

Comment 16

[Keyser Sose]

Marking NEW while this is sorted out.

Comment 17

[Lythande]

Just to let you know (update), as of build 2001072003 I'm still seeing this
behaviour.  

Using the file bookmark option on the browser's bookmark menu and clicking the
new folder button produces this JS error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Not enough arguments
[nsIPromptService.prompt]"  nsresult: "0x80570001
(NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.js :: anonymous :: line
255"  data: no]

The New Folder button on the manage bookmarks window produces this one:

Error: [Exception... "Not enough arguments [nsIPromptService.prompt]"  nsresult:
"0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.js :: anonymous :: line
255"  data: no]
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.js
Line: 255

Right-clicking on a bookmark in the manager produces the same, that is:

Error: [Exception... "Not enough arguments [nsIPromptService.prompt]"  nsresult:
"0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.js :: anonymous :: line
255"  data: no]
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.js
Line: 255

Right-clicking on an open folder (in the manager) produces the same.
R-click closed folder, the same.
Using file/new folder (in manager) the same.

These errors show up in the JS console, but the result is simply nothing when
performing the listed actions.  :~(

[Rainer Mager]

I'm seeing this same problem on Linux with an Aug-6, 2001 CVS build.

Comment 19

[Lythande]

Still here with build 2001080603 on W95B as well.  :-/

Comment 20

[Lythande]

Hallelujah.  (Don't worry, I can't spell Excelcius Deo, either.)  I  have
created bookmark folders.

[Chris Lyon]

Glad to hear it!
