895964 - "Could not create service for entry Disk Space Watcher Service"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: General, defect)

Description

[Vladan Djeric (:vladan)]

Nightly logs this message every time it starts up (on Windows desktop):

While creating services from category 'profile-after-change', could not create service for entry 'Disk Space Watcher Service', contract ID '@mozilla.org/toolkit/disk-space-watcher;1'

I'm guessing disk-space-watcher is a B2G-only service? Can we prevent Firefox trying to initialize it on other platforms using #ifdefs?

It's only implemented on b2g, yes. It should not be there at all on other platforms.

Easy fix?

And can the message be safely ignored on other platforms, i.e. it should not cause *any* problem?

** several reports of this for Thunderbird 24, and it can be disconcerting to users

I suspect the regressing bug would be bug 853350 so adding dependency.

Wayne, let's ask the people involved with bug 853350 whether this bug can be fixed for the affected platforms where this is not implemented. Needinfo'ing them on behalf of wsmwk

Comment 5

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

It just needs an #ifdef MOZ_B2G there

Comment 6

[Ben Turner (not reading bugmail, use the needinfo flag!)]

or maybe MOZ_WIDGET_GONK would be better

Comment 7

[[:fabrice] Fabrice Desré]

Ben is right, we only have a gonk implementation for now, so #ifdef MOZ_WIDGET_GONK should be enough.

Comment 8

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Simple enough. Can we move forward on this regression?
