935457 - IDBKeyRange is not available to frameworkers

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: SocialAPI, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Trying to use indexeddb in a frameworker, I want to use IDBKeyRange for searching within cursors, however, when I try to use it I get:

ReferenceError: Port MessagePort(portType='worker', portId=99) handler failed: IDBKeyRange is not defined

The same code works fine when loaded in a normal tab.

The attached patch does what's requested in comment 0.

I'm not sure how much of the API documented at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/IndexedDB#Asynchronous_API needs to be exposed.

Comment 2

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

Are there other IndexedDB globals that we should expose? Will these globals be exposed to SharedWorkers?

Comment 3

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

The entire API will be exposed (once we implement it ...).

I'm ok with this in general, bug if all these apis will be in a real worker, I don't see any reason that we shouldn't just expose whatever is implemented (and I'm not clear on what is or isn't).

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

We should just expose "whatever is implemented", the tricky part is finding such a list and keeping it up to date...

Comment 6

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/tests/mochitest/general/test_interfaces.html?force=1#326 may be the list we are looking for here.

A comment at the top of the file says "// This is a list of all interfaces that are exposed to every webpage."

Comment 7

It's not a list of interfaces exposed to workers.

> It's not a list of interfaces exposed to workers.

Not sure of what you mean. Is IndexedDB now exposed to workers? What I was looking for is a list of the currently implemented IndexedDB APIs that will eventually be available to workers, so that we can expose them now in frameworkers. Your comment 3 here made me think that all the IndexedDB APIs currently available in dom windows would eventually become available in workers, is this not correct?

Comment 9

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Oh, sure, comment 3 is correct.  My point is that there's plenty of (non-IDB) stuff in that list that won't be added to workers.
