Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[ppandit]

Using this as a place holder for the following of which Rich Pizarrio has a fix
for:

D:\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin>smtptest
Failed on reading user prefs!

Here is the description from Rich:
Found it.

When we register the file locator service, you need to pass in the prog id...so,
lines in any test programs that look like:

nsComponentManager::RegisterComponent(kFileLocatorCID,  NULL, NULL,
APPSHELL_DLL, PR_FALSE, PR_FALSE);

need to look like this:

nsComponentManager::RegisterComponent(kFileLocatorCID,  NULL,
NS_FILELOCATOR_PROGID, APPSHELL_DLL,
PR_FALSE, PR_FALSE);

I will try to checkin changes later today when I get some other changes ready to
go into the tree.

Well, I made the change that fixed the other test programs but the tree is so
horked right now, I can't get ANYTHING to run...so I'll let you know when this
changes.

REOPEN because tried with a debug build from today (June 30) at 12:40 p.m.

D:\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin>smtptest

Sorry to be persistent, but the prefs bug is fixed. The problem with reading
the prefs would stop you well before you got asked all the questions. I just
did a clobber build and here are my results:

Y:\mozilla\dist\WIN32_D.OBJ\bin>smtptest
ProfileName : rhp
ProfileDir  : P:\Users50\default
Enter port to use [25]:
Enter host name to use [nsmail-2.mcom.com]:
Enter command number: 1
Location of message [message.eml]: c:\temp\tempMessage.eml
Recipient of message [[e-mail]]: rhp
Loading preferences for account: account0
Loading preferences for account: account1

Message Sent: PASSED
Enter command number:


So this is working.

If you got "Message Sent: FAILED", this could happen for any number of reasons,
but the program is working.

smtptest is still failing. Rich's section is working so please reassign to
mscott to take a look.

Par, this seems to be working fine for me but I'm running it using necko (I'm on
a branch).

A couple questions:
1) What directory are you running smtpTest from?
2) where is the file you are trying to send? Is it in the same directory? A
different directory?

Scott - I'm still seeing the problem using the release build of seamonkey
(7/27/99). Let's work together to figure it out.

let's wait till after necko lands. I re-wrote it to work with necko. No sense
in spending time on it before then as it is going to be replaced today.

Comment 15

[Scott MacGregor]

Hey Par, can you try this again now that necko has landed? Thanks.

Comment 16

[Scott MacGregor]

I'm going to mark this as fixed as it works for me. Par, feel free to re-open
this if you still have problems. I'm trying to shrink my M9 bug list.

Comment 17

[lchiang]

Par is out sick.  Will try when he gets back.  Thanks.

Comment 18

[ppandit]

We tried this out today.
The debug version of smtptest.exe works but the release version does not.
I will post a new bug for smtptest.exe and pop3test.exe do not work on release
builds.

There was also a multiple identity issue that was messing us up. A bug will be
posted to alecf for that.

Marking as VERIFIED
