880955 - Add-on Packager times out on success page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[Axel Grude [:realRaven]]

Just tried to build a new addon, it goes as far as the success page but does not show a link, only the placeholder "Please wait…" forever. I tried 3 times. The addon is supposed to support all desktop apps (Fx, Tb, SeaMonkey) and is called Profile Timeout. Please help, the addon should be written relatively quickly using xul only

I'm seeing the same thing when I tried it, but the Add-on Packager is not part of Add-on Builder, so I'm going to move this to a different component to hopefully get the right people looking at this.


Looking in Firefox's Developer Tools' Network panel, the page is repeatedly pinging a URL on AMO every few seconds. It gets a response back almost immediately each time (usually around 50 ms after the request was sent out), but the packaged addon never is displayed on the page.

Just a workaround I found on mozdev.org:

http://www.mozdev.org/projects/wizard/extension/

It seems t be built on the same component as it has pretty much the same structure; also when you go to the page for the first time you get "bad gateway" but it works on reload.

Good old mozdev! :)
